Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Actually that’s something I’ve been wondering about since this whole mess started.

@Smin1080p_WT Does Gaijin currently plan on doing anything regarding the Online Safety Act? Like implementing ID verification like some other games such as Rockstar with GTA Online are now requiring?

Well for UK peeps I guess it’s easier just to turn off in game chat for us

Given that it’s becoming a requirement just to even have accounts on some platforms I’m not entirely sure that disabling chat will circumvent OSA or the need for ID verification.

The game’s rating is not mature, so I guess they are exempt from it.

That’s a point it’s 12+ isn’t it ?

Don’t forget the fact that the US is also adding these regulations.

The game’s age rating is 13+, the same as Spotify but they are deleting accounts that do not comply. And from the talks about OSA it seems that every online game/platform will be required to have it from now on.

But then you’ll need ID for GTA but iirc Fortnight doesn’t need ID but both are shooting games ??

I think it’s just that Fortnite hasn’t responded yet and Rockstar (like always) are eager to start collecting personal data to inevitably have it all leaked from any of the countless hacks from their services. Same with Microsoft with Xbox and possibly soon to be Sony.

OSA = It’s meant to pretect children

It’s a hackers wet dream

Please let’s go back to actual rumors.

Also every major world governments too. Imagine in the inevitable next major document leak (not one that’s the first Google result but something genuinely classified) whatever government is investigating they could potentially gain access to whoever’s personal data no matter their nationality.

Especially if Gaijin are to use one of these 3rd party verification companies that claim to “delete all information after verification”. I can see it going very poorly.

Sorry, got carried away

Funky. Tho odd it’s one and not a pair like the others where.

We are always on top of any requirements that are necessary for the game and its setting. So naturally if a need arises, we would take whatever measures were required. But currently nothing has changed with regards to us.

GTA is a very different type of game with very different types of content.

We’ve had promotional decorators like this in game for some time. Its no real change here.

But you can always turn them off too, unlike other games:
