Why does Activision need pregnancy data? - The GamesIndustry.biz Podcast


Listen Later

Rebekah and Brendan discuss the latest industry headlines from the past week.

We kick off by addressing the ease with which mobile developers are able to apply kids age ratings to inappropriate games on Google Play via the International Age Rating Coalition's system.

Then we weigh in on the debate surrounding Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and the question of accessibility. Yes, this is well-trodden ground but Brendan reflects on the accessibility once found in the classic arcades and how this diminished in favour of more complex titles.

And finally, we discuss the recent revelation that Activision Blizzard has been paying staff to voluntarily allow access to health data -- including monitoring their pregnancy.
