Re: Epic Games To Pay $540 Million Over Allegations Of Privacy Violations And Unwanted Charges

The content of the article and statement from the FTC do not explicitly state what these "dark patterns" are, or how Epic offended against the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. It also didn't explicitly state that the violation was in Fortnite. It could be some other game like candy crush or something? I think a lot of free to play games violate privacy and endanger children by having strangers voices appear in your living room as a default option. Who knows what the actual problem was?

Re: Nintendo Considering "Various Initiatives" And "Further Enhancements" For The Switch Online Service

I understand that voice chat is not going to be allowed on Nintendo consoles, with kids mixing with teens and the first-time-gamer user base, who will be shocked. Nintendo does not want to be associated with the trash talk you hear on other platforms. I don't see it happening and, while it may be an unpopular opinion, I think it makes sense. Just use your phone to talk to people.

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?

The scripts, plot and voice acting have always been terrible in these games. I don't know how this 'voice actor' can take this job seriously. It is just a hammy British accent that lots of people can do. I seriously can't tell the difference between voice actors. Also this person calling to cancel the game, she's never going to get a job talking into a microphone ever again. Would you hire someone who is likely to badmouth you on the internet?
