Oh hey, nightmares beyond my wildest dreams;Defense Matrix activated! Fortifying gameplay integrity and positivity in Overwatch 2
Defense Matrix encompasses our infrastructure of systems designed to help protect the integrity of gameplay and promote positive behavior in Overwatch 2.playoverwatch.com
I’d say they’re on a fools errand trying to make the community less toxic. But I am happy to see them finally trying to address the fake/Smurf/alt accounts issue. Curious to see how the phone number requirement goes.
Dont worry guys, the heavily analyzed voice chat is totally used for the singular purpose of 1984 thought control and in no way shape or form used for anything else. Oh wait they literally say the people and systems extend far beyond this;Machine learning and audio transcriptions
For years, our team has used machine learning to detect and prevent disruptive behavior, cheating, and disruptive text chat. Our detection methods leverage multiple systems, including your in-game reports, to identify behavior that drives down the quality of the in-game experience. We’re expanding our detection capabilities by introducing audio transcriptions in the following weeks after launch.
Audio transcriptions allow us to collect a temporary voice chat recording of a reported player and automatically transcribe it through speech to text programs. The text file is then analyzed for disruptive behavior by our chat review tools. Once the audio recording has been transcribed to text, it’s quickly deleted as the file’s sole purpose is to identify potentially disruptive behavior. The text file is then deleted no later than 30 days after the audio transcription.
External
The Defense Matrix task force spans further than the Overwatch team and Blizzard Entertainment. Our external task force includes a broad range of involvement throughout Activision Blizzard King and extending beyond. Overwatch has studied the effects of cheating and disruptive behavior across multiple Activision Blizzard King franchises. In addition, we’re working with external partners and security vendors who design anti-tamper, anti-cheat, and anti-reverse-engineering technologies.
Curious to see how the phone number requirement goes.
