Something tells me this won’t happen. You’ll probably always have a mic in a Sony controller moving forward. You can always just leave it muted.

The microphone housed in PS5’s Dualsense controller could be a big deal

With a software controlled mute button! Physically disconnecting switch or fuck off. I have other gaming devices to choose from.
This is arrogant Sony.

Even if there is data abuse, it should absolutely be mentioned in the PS5 EULA. We'll just look for it and read it around launch time.

No and no.
As you like to game with everything hanging out for the sharing just skip the middleman and give us all a lap dance on gaf.

...And click OK to use your hardware.
Data abuse is growing because gamers are too lazy to fight for their privacy rights.

I hope Sony enjoys listening to me scream about my teammates not healing me in Overwatch 2

True, but I am talking about reading it online before buying anything, of course.
And if you do find something fishy (or phishy) in there that was not present already this gen, raise people's awareness then.
If they steal people data without asking permission to use it first (which is 99% of the time done via the EULA), it absolutely is illegal and a class-action lawsuit should follow.
It goes without saying, if I vehemently disagree with the EULA terms, I just won't buy anything.

Lmao Holy shit.
Remember when we were supposed to be heavily concerned about the NSA spying on us and how it was terrible for a piece of tech to be always listening?
Now apparently its a big deal because its in a controller. Which actually makes it worse because at least back then you could completely remove the kinect, along with the tin foil hat.

The ability to reply to messages with your speech could be pretty cool. That way you don't have to leave gameplay to respond to somebody's PM.

The tech that Nintendo used is old, the tech evolved over the years. Wait till Sony releases the info how the tech works.
It is not the function of the mic to replace a headphone.
As is stands now the Tempest hardware 3d wil work on headsets first, later on Tempest will work on the speakers on your TV.

For me personally, nothing you said is really a game changer. In games, maybe, but then you really need to want to play those games. In OS it's overrated, and can easily be picked up by using Alexa or Google Assistant.

This is $200 man. lol. I say this because I have it. That controller value is atrocious for what you get.

The "spybox" and the "choice" of having a microphone was a sticking point for a ton of blue players. But now I guess it's ok.
Hey guys I've been using this on my Xbox One for the past year:

I'm really excited that Sony is including this functionality built-in and they will undoubtedly improve it with noise cancellation.
If this does influence devs to start creating more games with voice functions guess what? Those same games with those same voice funtions will be released for XSX and PC. You will just need to use a regular headset or buy an accessory to use said features. Not the end of the world.
