Subject: Virtual reality assault?

obi_jon 4.01.24 - 04:41pm
What? Like in an online multiplayer game or something? Wouldn't it rather depend on the game and what playing the game involves? The whole point of some games is to virtually assualt each others characters and blow them into tiny virtual pieces, for example. If the game developers have included the ability for avatars to not only ''virtually assault'' other player's avatars somehow but which can also be ''virtually assaulted'' themselves, then isn't that a part of the game? Else why did the programmers include such a thing in said game in the first place?

This all sounds extremely legally dubious to me somehow.(dontknow) I could imagine them having to put disclaimers in games and have people sign up to online consent agreements before they can play maybe. * +

It's getting into thought crimes territory if you ask me. What even counts as being ''virtual assault'' anyway? * +

You need to sign a code of conduct thing before going online in the latest COD game. * +

Apparently there are a couple of cases being looked into now. One of a woman avatar being surrounded and groped by several male avatars and another case of a 16 year old girl being virtually sexually assaulted. *
