Does Ubisoft have a room full of people dedicated to enforcing bad ideas or something?

Who uses social features in single player games?

so players can only interact with people on their friends list unless the account is verified

Seems fair to me, not like interacting with strangers is a core part of the game.

I don't get Lemmy's view on this shit, everyone's up in arms about roblox being a pedophile playground but when Ubisoft tries to stop kids talking to strangers they get mad at age verification, what are the companies supposed to do?
