UK government plans to track what you're playing

All UK communication companies, under the proposed legislation, will be obliged to keep records of all sites that users visited for at least a year. Categories that could be retained include information about social network usage, webmail, Skype calls, and gaming.

Woooow, that sucks for UKers, seriously... What the hell?

CommonSense4331d ago

the US and the UK are racing to see who can have the biggest police state. don't worry, this will come to the US soon enough (if it's not already here). this information is already stored by MS and Sony anyway.

The ms e3 conference this year seemed strangely like american pro military occupation propaganda. Or at least very pro war.

Who cares if the Government plans to track on what your playing, I don't care if they see me play the Last Of Us in the near future ;)

its not like my PSN friends know what I'm playing right now.

not Call Of Duty.

We may as well make it official & have a national funeral for the constitution. We r living so far outside its bounds that its simply being used as a symbol and nothing else. Its too bad because it was possibly the greatest experiment known to man.

@Zuperman

Yes of course "The Last of Us" wont seem out of order, but what happens when the government catches you playing "Wonderbook - Book of spells" 10 hours in a row.

depends I am from the UK, But my prefrence is offline gaming so they can't see what I am playing. The last time I played online was lbp.

However this has come up agaisnt stiff critism and even though the government say its needed to catch criminals etc no one will like this as it breaks privacy laws as well and given the governments recent track record of scarpping laws such as the recent pasty tax they might be willing to back down on this.

Stupid conservatives.

@ Zuperman You are the kind of retard that lets the government think its alright to do this

Sipping tea and plotting against freedom one game at a time.

I think the UK needs some encouragement:

Time to pull out the Mel Gibson Freedom pictures.

Hm..... I will not say much on this, only that things like this is happening everywhere. If not now, certainly soon enough.

TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."

It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol

VenomUK9m ago(Edited 0m ago)

-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!

-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!

Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
