alt Hacker NewsI don't mean to be combative, I've just genuinely never used a console with that. The perils of mostly using PCs and Nintendo ones, I guess? If it's standard with both Xbox and Sony that does cleanly explain the press any button screen, although I wonder why they leave it in for the PC ports.

I wouldn’t consider it a “peril.” You have to turn it on, it’s not a default setting. It’s a useful feature for some.
I don’t use it personally but tbf my Xbox has also been pretty much collecting dust for probably 2 years now.
I don’t think it’s standard on Sony. But then I just play games on a few PlayStations , never used the actual parental controls.
But I guess they’d have told me that I could attach a user to a certain controller.
Hah, I looked it up. Even on Xbox it’s just some kind of auto login but the kid could switch profiles after.
