So you can fuck around with a fucking smartphone and have to take your picture everytime you go to Best Buy or Family Video thus wasting time. I'll leave it to the rest of you to air your well justified outrage at the ESRB and share your ideas of how many angles, and directions this can be abused to rape gamers. Why they'll just invent new ways to rape humans in the name of protecting kids who're no longer virgins and will probably be just fine.

Any time the government knows your personal business it can be used against you, but I won't go into that because this is primarily the foot in the door to implement universal ID to access the internet.
Once they have the tech in place, it would be simple to expand it to include all online activity.
Ever wonder why all those publishers were pushing so hard to force players into using a launcher when the games can run just fine on their own with a little DRM?
GOG is the only one, to my knowledge, with DRM-free, standalone games.
