Companies Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony will join forces to create the safest and most enjoyable online community of players on the Internet. The joint initiative of platform holders was announced on the corporation’s official website Microsoft…
Platform holders have adopted three main points… Below is a direct speech:
Prevention: empower players and parents to understand and control gameplay.
- We provide controls that allow players to customize their gameplay. We provide parents with the tools and information they need to create an appropriate play experience for their children.
- We understand that for security features to be useful, they must be easy to use. We will promote the availability of our security tools on our platforms and support channels, through services on our websites and in retail stores to reach more players and their parents.
- We keep parents and gamblers informed through our codes of conduct, terms of use and enforcement practices.
- We invest in cutting edge technology to help prevent inappropriate behavior and content before the player is harmed.
Partnership: We are committed to partnering with industry, regulatory and law enforcement agencies, and our communities to improve user safety.
- Industry commitment to safety is critical. We believe we have the opportunity to partner for the benefit of the video game industry and all players to offer a safer gaming experience.
- We work with industry trade organizations, regulators and law enforcement agencies, and experts to design and promote online security initiatives.
- We are committed to conducting collaborative research for the benefit of the industry.
- We believe that there is no place for aggression, harassment and cruelty towards young players in games. We work with our community to promote safe gaming behavior and to encourage the use of reporting tools to identify unscrupulous players.
- We partner with rating agencies such as ESRB and PEGI to ensure that our games are relevant to a specific audience.
Responsibility: We consider ourselves responsible to make our platforms as safe as possible for all players.
- We make it easier for players to report violations of our Code of Conduct and, in addition to removing content, we are taking appropriate measures to enforce laws regarding violations, including limiting players from using our services for inappropriate behavior.
- We fully comply with local laws and will respond to all legal requests from law enforcement agencies. We will promptly notify law enforcement if we observe illegal behavior or if we believe a player is in danger.
- We publish our rules and requirements and ensure that the players complained about are aware of the rules for interacting with our platforms.
According to the statement Microsoft, all of the above can be achieved thanks to the development of new technological solutions, the integrity of the players themselves, as well as careful supervision by the departments specially created for this purpose. Working in tandem with Sony and Nintendo, the American corporation intends to freely exchange its practices and effective strategies, which should have a beneficial effect on the entire industry as a whole.
