Unfortunately, that's not sufficient to keep that bullshit out of big-budget single-player games. Publishers can force it upon developers - and will. Once a few games get away with it, the cult of executives will figure they're losing money if they don't fuck you as hard as possible.

The Babylonians knew a * b = 1/4 * ( (a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2 ), and and used tables of 1/4 * x^2 to do multiplication by addition. It took three thousand years for Napier to discover modern logarithms. The slide rule was invented eight years later.

I think broadcasters are legally required to announce who's broadcasting, at some minimum interval. I know it affects ham radio - because slow-scan image transmissions worked around it by watermarking their callsign in the image. It'd also explain why Sirius XM does it so goddamn often when every receiver already has a screen.
