Sadly I bet many especially younger gamers will go along with these b/c the younger generation are so quick and easy to hand over their ID info. Especially if their promising it will curtail cheaters. We know it won't end cheating and may not even curtail it by much but the younger gamers won't look at it that way they'll want so badly to believe it will eliminate cheating that they'll support it. Look how easy they got most of the customer base to switch from a physical copy you owned to a digital copy you lease. All they need do is promise some kind of convenance; don't even have to deliver on the promise.
And in other news, a survey commissioned by the soda industry shows that people feel very good about drinking 15-20 bottles of Coke per day. Stay tuned!
This proves nothing. How many in that 73% are saying that, but will fool your system? You really think people cant bypass or fool your identification system? And you really think people who do arent going to cheat just to screw with you people? And where the hell did this 73% come from? I sure as hell didnt vote, and I know none of my friends did either. I know we're not even a percent in the grand scheme, but where the hell did this metric come from? Who did you people ask? What was the criteria to take this survey? Cause I've noticed, and I'll grant not all surveys are like this, but I've noticed that if you do not give the answer a survey wants, you don't get the little prize at the bottom of the box, as it were. So, if you didn't give the answer they wanted you to give, you're answer is discounted, ignored, or otherwise thrown away. Its because of that that I do not trust surveys.
If I have to get carded to purchase alcohol I might be okay with getting carded to know I'm playing with adults. The matching making would be better since most adults can't play a game all day to get really good at it like kids during summer vacation.
I'm no lawyer, but reading the appropriate interpretation of COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
It seems like it is ILLEGAL for game companies to know which of their players are children under the age of 13 because game companies are legally not allowed to collect personal information from kids under the age of 13. There's a COPPA 2.0 that I'll get around to reading about.
Kids however LIE to get online or pester their parents enough to let them onto online game though. So this ID verification won't be fool proof because a kid playing on Daddy's account might get mad enough to download an aimbot.
So this is how their going to sucker the gaming community into accepting ID Verify; by promising it will eliminate cheaters.
HINT: It won't work; not entirely. It may reduce it some but it will always be over promised and under delivered on b/c the goal isn't to reduce cheaters but to convince people to accept the ID Verify BS. Once you get people to accept you have them captured. the online gaming community is large and would prove resistant to going along with ID Verify unless you got something like this, a promise to use it to get rid of cheaters.
A business selling ID verification touts a self-funded study backing up their product?
Where do I invest?!
Self-referencing paradoxes are some of the best paradoxes.
They don't need my ID and I don't need a game that requires it.
Hiding? No, it's just NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. I'm old-school.

There is no way this turns out well.

1460 people are idiots who would give up freedom for security, and deserve neither.
I don't need to game that bad.
