My guess is that the content used in the game may have been garnered from his day job, and therein lies the risk.

- jff 14y agoThere's a difference between "Lots of callers can't remember their SIN, I'll use that" and "David Johnson, of 123 Maple St, Vancouver, BC, gave 112211 as an invalid SIN, let's put him in the game".
- purephase 14y agoI agree. I don't know the game, but it seems likely that there is more to it than your first example. I doubt that they would be reacting the way they are otherwise. Of course, this might be my own misplaced optimism.
- jsnk 14y agoThe distinction doesn't matter. Callers agreed to their conversation recorded only on the condition that 1. it will be used for training purposes and 2. security purposes. There was never an agreement regarding the callers' conversation recorded to be used in a game that makes mockery of the callers and potentially make money from them.
- katbyte 14y agoI don't think he recorded it as much as remembered experiences he had and transcribed them down independently.
- jff 14y agoTake a listen to the video. It seems to me that he's imitating (badly) caller voices, not using recordings. That would indeed by highly unethical.
- talmand 14y agoI hope you are not suggesting the guy asked people on the phone to answer his questions multiple times with different answers each time so that he could record them to create a branching storyline that the player chooses from in the game?
