Why does a graphics card app know how fucking old you are?

    Yeah, most people in this thread are focusing on gen Z, but why can't a minor play video games? What if a kid wants to play a game like Rollercoaster Tycoon or the Sims, must they really be 18 years old? And why does a hardware component then verify that? It's like age verification on a plate before dinner, fucking weird.

    It doesn't, but the app requires making an account on NVidia's website, which also allows you to access their GeForce Live cloud gaming service, and therefore is affected by the law because certain games are deemed unsafe for children.
