It's interesting to me to hear people automatically fault the user in this case. It's not microsofts fault for having a device that automatically takes pics. Or not having an interface that makes it easy to manage what you want to do with this function or the pics that it takes. Delete? Someone had to go to a forum to ask other users how to use this function, assuming it is a function.
I've played games naked. I've played multiplayer games naked. Why fault the user for undressing in the privacy of their own home because they're getting hot? Why assume they have air conditioning? It's winter in half the world and summer in the rest. Maybe they're in New Zealand and also poor. Naked IS air conditioning in that case.
I have a digital camera. Should I assume it's taking pictures all the time? What about my laptop camera? I have a friend with an x-box 360 camera attachment. Should that also be something to watch out for?
When it comes to faulting people, it makes sense to start at the origin, and work down. The device was made by designers at Microsoft. They somehow went against convention of user freedom of choice in operating the device to say, "snap a photo every X seconds (X could be greater than 60 seconds)." I can understand the logic; it has no interface aside from motion, so automate some functions. But photosnaps? Automatic photos of people in their private world? I'm a designer of a different school of design, and I can tell you that's shit thinking on Microsofts part.
The naked person is free and clear in my book. I've done all kinds of unspeakable in my living room, WHILE a game is being played. Automatic photo function is... not welcome.
(I just had a scary realization... it's a total voyeur cam! O_O If someone doesn't know that the device automatically snaps photos, you could spy on them. o_o I'm covering EVERY kinect I see forever on.)
Damn it man you almost made me choke on my drink! I smell incoming lolz.SimuLord said:
Now my first reaction is: lolololol but I controlled myself and I wonder who would dance naked? Must be pretty annoying if you get my drift.
Now obviously he/she wanted to play naked (He/she never thought of turning on an airconditioner, opening a few windows/doors right, right? /s) and the hammer has fallen. A clear flaw in this and should be fixed immediately.
Ahem. *Browses for pictures.
Note about the escapists; mods here will set you on the ban-wagon (likely starting with probation) for having content-less one word posts like this. Add some conversational content to your post, or risk your account. (I am not a mod. I've just seen it happen. Lots.)I say old chap said:
Well, if you say so. I simply found a funny post that I wanted the poster to know I thought was amusing. If single word replies of praise for another's post get you banned, then so be it. Yes, yes, I could have put a longer sentence, or even a few, but you don't always want to convey lavish praise, that would be needlessly sycophantic. Have a good one.Firia said:
That is complete crap.
A game, or game system, that automatically takes pictures while it's being used is not only useless but a complete waste of memory.
Yes, I am aware it probably can be turned off.

Well at least it doesn't post it to the internet! Why would it automatically take pictures anyway? Shouldn't that be something you request?
"No one knows. Maybe it browses through them at night. While you sleep."
Wow, it's a racist AND a pervert. What next?

O.T. ahhh Sure it was an "accident" and I bet you the game was waiting for someone to just start playing it naked or for them to do something stupid to catch them
I think this is troll news. If you read though:

You can clearly tell it's a troll thread. The thread only has 18 posts and no one from Harmonix or Microsoft addresses the issue. Troll news.
