Rockstar Games recently announced that anybody who wishes to play the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 will be required to submit to facial recognition in order to access the game. They claim that this is being implemented in order to prevent young children from playing the game.
Of course it’s not about the children. It’s to force game players to accept a future where you are required to face scan in order to access your console.
Imagine if Nintendo were to include facial recognition capabilities into the Switch 2 which is rumored to be released next year. They could claim that facial recognition is necessary to protect your online account so that no unauthorized persons can purchase games and bleed your credit card dry in case your Switch 2 is either lost or stolen.
Actually, the true purpose of facial recognition software is to store your private information in a database and sell your private information to various companies so that they can sell more Chinese-made merchandise to you and annoy you with robocalls, spam emails, and unsolicited mails through the USPS.
Not to mention that your facial data will also be analyzed by the government so they can build a psychological profile on you in preparation for the coming social credit system, with AI cameras watching your every move and deducting from your social credit score if it doesn’t like the expression on your face.
And how will this digital enslavement be sold to the steeple?
“It’s cool! It’s hip! It’s trendy!”
This is why I cannot stand modern gaming and modern gamers who pop a boner and display outrageous soy faces when the latest and greatest gaming hardware and software is released.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake?

Final Fantasy 7 Integrade?

Final Fantasy 7 Reunion?

And now “mandatory facial recognition in order to play Grand Theft Auto 6”?

What’s next? Being forced to thumbscan or swipe your coming global ID card to play Super Mario Bros.?
