Can you even call it GTA online if there aren't a dozen 12 year olds running around screaming, "N***** and F*****".

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.

I mean the whole "ban gta" movement was started by rockstar themselves. They riled up the masses about how dangerous gta is, and it worked. The moms hopped onto the train and the whole movement gained momentum and the made billions.

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.
