Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers


Recommended Posts

I agree with sethos, this is probably some wii fit mock-up they've come up with...or we're going to start seeing heavyweight and lightweight divisions in gaming now :laugh:

Hopefully they can make controllers that send electrical signals to check body fat percentages, then send like 50,000 volts through the controller if you are too fat to play.

Half of the replies here are on a level of dumb I cannot understand.. How do you people even manage to get out of bed ?

Here's what's gonna happen.. you are gonna OPT IN to the program ( Cause NO Business is stupid enough to force people into this ). Then you are gonna give them your Height, Weight, etc.. ( Just the basics, no "Medical History" .. you think MS wants to be responsible for that kind of information ? Hell no, it's of no benefit to them to know if your a twig or a whale, they aren't a medical/pharmaceutical company ).. Then you are gonna keep the program/game/console/whatever up to date with your information, thus giving it a History.. Then it's gonna limit you, or not..

And if you get the no answer, you will always be able to opt out again..

The Worst Case is the MS makes some stupid avatar games and the like that are from people in the program.. boo hoo.. If you think and big games are gonna limit who can play them, you're delusional..
