Razer Partners with Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity for Game ID Verification
Razer has partnered with Tools for Humanity, founded by Sam Altman, to launch Razer ID Verified by World ID. This initiative aims to verify human players in video games, reducing the impact of unauthorized bots.
Key details include:
- Verified Razer ID will be integrated into user accounts and first implemented in the game Tokyo Beast.
- The system utilizes Zero Knowledge (ZK) proofs for data security, allowing identity verification without exposing personal information.
- Players can verify their identities using a passport or through an iris scan at designated locations.
- 59% of surveyed gamers report frequent encounters with unauthorized bots; 71% believe these bots damage gaming experiences.
- World Network, associated with Worldcoin, has faced regulatory scrutiny over biometric data privacy across various countries, including Hong Kong and Spain.
While this system targets bot verification in gaming, concerns remain regarding its effectiveness and potential misuse of verified accounts.
