Epic Games to pay $520M to resolve FTC allegations
I'm fine with Epic getting financially reprimanded for dark patterns and anti-consumer behaviour. I am not on board with this:<p>> That lawsuit also accused the company of illegally enabling real-time voice and text chat communications for children and teens in the game by default.<p>So voice chat must now be turned off by default for all children across America? How on earth is this supposed to be policed? Should everyone playing a game be required to upload ID? And what is the gate between on and off by default? A single button press?<p>This one doesn't make any sense to me. Voice chat is a staple of online games. Having a core feature included in a game by default is common sense.
