Activision which begun to tolling out the new age verification measure for Call of Duty players, and it will also sounds nice on paper. Call of Duty games were not suitable for al ages. The vast majority of titiles in the long running FPS franchise, they cannot be slapped with the Mature rating in the United States, which means the content is intended for audience aged 17 and up, just according to the ESRB.
The original three games spanning 2003-2006 snagged Teen ratings, and ensuring the content was also suitable for players aged 13 and up and there outliers. The most part, it is an adult oriented franchise featuring blood and gore, strong language, suggestive themes and drug use.
Looking at the enforce the age rating, Activision now rolling out an in-game age verification measure. Well to be honest it is not stopping anyone.
CoD new age verification measure is noting
Upon booting up the Call of Duty launcher on July 16, some of the user have reported seeing the new verification pop up. The moving forward, Activison requires Call of Duty accounts the register the birthday.
The requirement will also help to ensure positive community experience for all player, the accompanying message reads.
Well it do not tak the genius to see the new measure immediately misses the mark. Most age verification protocols, and any user can also input the date and claim they were also born in the early 1900s.
The Activision is not requiring any protocol proof of age in the form of the identification, it is really the point. For now there are little preventing younger usersfrom changing thier age and carrying on playing Call of Duty like before.
