They would lose likely 98% of their player base.
$omething tells me that won’t happen
Can you even call it GTA online if there aren’t a dozen 12 year olds running around screaming, “N***** and F*****”.
Moms are still getting plenty of action though, right? Wont someone think of the moms!!!
I’m thinking of your mom right now don’t worry maboy.
Phew. I dont know what she’d do, with out all the xbox bros fucking her 12 times a night…
Np bro that’s what I’m here for.
Good stuff. Cos lets be honest, those 80 year old hip bones aint gonna pop themselves in and out of place…
You’re damn right they’re not.
Can you call it that when chat is disabled anyway ; D
With the reputation most companies have with leaking and breached data, who wouldn’t want to have their ssn and license on file with rock star games?!
Maybe I’m dating myself but this is the same company that released state of emergency for the PS2? That game you could literally mow down people in a mall with a mini gun?
They were worried about “the children?” News to me.
If we’re going to government age verification everywhere just get rid of fucking ESRB and content ratings

This is a game made in Scotland, ESRB is a voluntary US based system.
Yes, it’s voluntary and self-imposed by the game industry to avoid exactly this kind of nanny-state bullshit. Ergo, if governments proceed with the bullshit anyway, then there’s no longer a need for the ESRB or PEGI.
Made even sillier because Rockstar isn’t a government.

Exactly. What’s the point of AO is all major retailers pledged 20 years ago that they won’t sell it? AO is basically a sales ban
The thing with age verification is that I don’t think it’s a bad thing if done securely, but still it still makes me sad, because Internet will never be the same with it. In the end it will be only few big websites who can afford to care about Internet regulation.
Well, after all maybe it’s time to switch to Gemini protocol, they are not going to regulate that!
Phew, ok good. A few months ago, when this first leaked, it made it seem like this was going to be used for every country and for the entire game. I have never played GTA online and never will.
The internet is continuing to get worse and worse… also, those comments on the actual article were strangely to pro.
The same parents that allow their children to play these games now will allow them to play then.
This will just make me not want to play these games.

Same exact thought.
What about disabling the shitty anti-cheat or even just enabling it on Linux so I, as a 27yo, can play the damn game?
