The ESRB has added:

Sure, ok...

I don't know what else to say about this, this will obviously turn into something else.

From the description, it sounds like you upload a picture, then show a face to a video camera. It’s not like they’re going through FaceID that has anti-spoofing hardware and software. If they’re supporting normal web cams, they can’t check for things like 3d markers

Based on applications that have rolled out for use cases like police identifying suspects, I would hazard a guess that

  1. It’s not going to work as well as they imply
  2. It’s going to perform comically badly in a multi-ethnic real world scenario with unfortunate headlines following
  3. It will be spoofable.

I’m betting this will turn out to be a massive waste of resources, but that never stopped something from being adopted. Even the cops had to be banned by several municipalities because they liked being able to identify and catch suspects, even if it was likely to be the wrong person. In one scenario I read about, researchers had to demonstrate that the software the PD was using identified several prominent local politicians as robbery and murder suspects.
