Wow. If this is really true, it means microsoft, netflix, and black mirror are hand in hand breaching people's privacy. That's just wow

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch apparently takes photos of you through your Kinect camera (Update: Nope)

And the Mole People. Probably Santa too. MS should get more flack tbh. Shame.
Maybe ask someone he knows with the equipment from his network of contacts or acquire a Kinect to try it out himself. Plenty of ways apart from blatantly asking Era for someone to verify a shitty tweet, which is not a good look.
I'm not amazed that people almost always attribute this to Microsoft but I am amused by it. Just goes to show that perception is a hell of a drug.
Five mainline movies and one spin-off movie. The last movie is almost insulting. I had liked the entire franchise to some extent before that, apart from the spin-off, and to have that be the end was unbelievable. It should be a lesson for Hollywood that if your idea for the ending of a beloved franchise is shit, just don't end it. Eventually, someone more creative could come along and do it right.
Afaik there's really nothing illegal about this (as some are claiming in this thread). As long as the photos are only used locally by your device there's nothing troubling about it at all. Sony's The Playroom VR similarly took photos that it then displayed on your console with naught but a three second timer alerting you the photo was being taken.
Is DualShockers a professional outlet? Always thought it was some fansite.
Netflix be crazy with this episode, but not "lets devote a ton of time to put ourselves in hot water for the 1% of users that have this ancient tech still hooked up lol" crazy
Black Mirror wouldn't be the first to do this trick; Wario Ware Snapped did the same thing.
There's no issue with it if it's only being stored locally. Would actually be a really cool use of the Kinect/Playstation camera/USB camera and very much in keeping with the show!

Yeah, no Kinect shenanigans. Thread wound up being a great ad though, lol.
I was initially disappointed at how non-reactive the branches were to the fact that you've seen them before, but I was intentionally obtuse on this second playthrough, and there are a few more fun beats to find. "Skip to the next bit." "What?" "Oh for fuck's sake, I'll skip it for you." Still, I think it fails to deliver on its main idea beyond being a neat "just for the sake of it" gimmick that happens to be new for this platform. It's like a song that fades out instead of finding an ending.

I dont understand this
Yes. Yes it is illegal if this is not written anywhere in the description of the product.
For shame, guys. It's a videogame related name.

It's not in the terms because it doesn't happen.
The Kinect doesn't take pictures of you during the interactive movie.
Bandersnatch doesn't mention using the camera. This is because the camera is never used.

Caution as in creating a thread in one of the most recognized gaming forums in the world to try and investigate with other users if this is really happening?
