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:> 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.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?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.
