Like a stern, cigar-chomping general, EA has grown tired of its players befriending their enemies, and has come up with a way to stop it. A new patent from the company, titled"," is meant to catch players on opposing teams who unfairly partner up before they can ruin the game for everyone else., the system would utilise an AI to sift through a wealth of player data and make judgments about whether their in-game behaviour constitutes collusion or not.
If an analysis of a player's out-of-game data and in-game data suggests something up, then it's time for punishment. Unlike the discomfiting AI-based surveillance of the detection system, the proposed punishments are all standard fare, and include being"removed from the match, disqualified from rewards, suspended, banned and so on".
EA says punishments could be automatic or may follow a"a human or algorithmic review" of the collusion-detection system's output, which sounds like quite a major decision to be undecided about. The whole thing already sounds like a privacy minefield with a major potential for error: I'm not sure removing humans from the equation entirely would make me feel much better about playing a game using this kind of tech.
Of course, it's important to remember that this is just a patent for now, and companies regularly churn out patents for systems and technologies they never end up using. Still, it's interesting to see where EA's head is at these days. Another recent patent from the company proposedbased on how well you played.
😂😂😂
Invasion of privacy
Jokes on them, social media will be dead soon.
they should implement a decent game too
Ok
EA would first have to make a good MP game lol.
Oh. Too bad no one wants to play their new shit games lol.
Finally, i can be toxic to my own team more often.
How to kill your game before its out.
BF is dead, never buying anything from them again
Wut
Just make a good game lol
Oh what could possibly go wrong
Lame as fuck
Can they simply make a good game?
How about no?
Ah, so This is how the basilisk is born. Carry on then.
This is a real bad idea. Giving a corporation access to your social accounts. Imagine your entire library is suddenly gone because of what you posted or if you criticized EA. EA lost half it's value because its executives told customers to pound sand. This is their response.
'For gamers by gamers' has turned into the anti-gamer business suits. It's like EA is trying to kill their own company
That's very big brotherly of them to money sink into that system.
Dont worry guys, it's not like anyone's actually playing this game anyway...
This could not *possibly* be enough of a thing to warrant wasting time on such a thing. Also, who cares? Oh no! Some of these people are finding a way to have their own fun with a game that is still within the confines of the game's code!
I feel like I’ve never experienced this 🤔
Yikes
I see a teensy tiny bit of good in this system and a whole bunch of red flags.
What a great way to make sure your community is toxic. EA truely knows what gamers want. Can't have friends playing against each other.
Invasion of privacy much? Chat history should be purely monitored for abuse by players against players. And they sure as hell shouldn't be monitoring social media related to their players. That isn't in their wheelhouse at all.
'Don't worry guys this will only be used to S̶p̶y̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ monitor the game and make sure everyone has a fun and safe experience that definitely won't be looked at by the NSA, CCP and the rest of the spy community.'
This is unrelated, but they should enable back the ability to chat with the enemy. It's so fun trolling them, making them triggered every time there is an 'ez' win.
Of only EA put this much effort into their games.
So we can’t have friends? We can’t shit talk ? What else do they wanna ruin
How about an AI that makes your games as good as they were 10 years ago?
I don't play shitty multiplayer games anymore but lmao, no.
Why is that so much of an issue
I can see no issues with this and cannot forsee any mistakes being made by this AI. Nor would this be seen an invasion of privacy in any way.
Minority Report...for gaming.
EA taking notes from the CCP
It's really not that serious
