so, you know how sometimes you're just chillin' online with your friends, chatting away in voice chat or whatever, and you're like, yeah, this is the life? well, sony's about to make some changes that might affect how we do all that. apparently, they're introducing age verification for playstation users who want to use online communication features, which is pretty interesting, right?
i mean, it's not like it's a huge surprise or anything - sony's just trying to comply with global regulations and make sure everyone's having a safe and age-appropriate experience. but still, it's gonna be a bit of an adjustment, especially for those of us who are used to just hopping online and chatting with our friends without any hassle. according to some email that's been going around, sony's planning to roll out this age verification thing worldwide later this year, although they haven't given a specific date yet.
