One Piece Follows in Pokémon’s Footsteps With Controversial ID Measures

Bandai Namco announces that One Piece Card Game shops will introduce a facial recognition system in an attempt to contain scalpers.

Card trading and collecting is a fun hobby for gamers all over the world, but for others, it's a business. And it's a booming one. Unfortunately, popular games are often the target for scalpers who try to acquire as much product as possible at MSRP, to resell later for much more. Many franchises with card games have become targets of this behavior, such as the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the One Piece Card Game.
