Microsoft’s Xbox One has a device called “Kinect” in it. It’s always on, always listening. It’s the Kinect device that allows for you to turn on your Xbox One without actually pressing any buttons.
Swearing is one of the best things about video games. When the game cheats and your computer opponents start pulling off ridiculous feats of nonsensical brilliance, swearing is your only way of coping with the madness.
But in NBA 2K14, Kinect is listening. And the refs offer technical fouls to the more foul-mouthed. Better watch your mouth around Kinect.
