No need for a photo ID, Epic is also under fire for the amount of data it already collects from children. They are well aware who is playing.

Having a core feature included in a game by default is common sense. It is so common sense that many games have minute long sections where it is outright impossible to mute trolls because the controls for voice chat aren't always accessible. Quite sure Fallout 76 didn't have any controls for it at all when it came out. The only choice in that case is to mute sound permanently, which is fucking stupid. > Having a core feature included in a game by default is common sense. I rarely use voice chat and the build in one even less. Call me old fashioned but I often just use a team speak server when playing with friends - once it works, it works for all games.
