🚨 California's State Assembly approved a Stop Killing Games bill targeting games that need a server connection to play. Before shutting those servers down, developers would have to give 60 days' notice, then either release a patch that makes the game playable offline or refund players. Only applies to games released after Jan 1, 2027. The Senate still has to approve it.

Stop Killing Games is an international consumer campaign (started in 2024 by YouTuber Ross Scott) pushing to stop publishers from making purchased games unplayable. It's pursued an EU Citizens' Initiative and backs related bills like California's AB 1921.

Matt Damon recalls him & Tom Holland getting jealous of Christopher Nolan calling Zendaya's performance perfect on ‘THE ODYSSEY’ set.

“Tom [Holland] and I were obsessed with this. She got a ‘perfect’? I’ve never even gotten a ‘great.’ She got a ‘perfect’?

He and I bitched about it for the entire rest of the film. ‘Did you get anything today?’ — No, I got a ‘good, moving on’ — ‘Yeah, me too.’”

@KMc_head @Apocaloptimist5 This is only bad if you have bad shit on there, otherwise it’s an inconvenience but if someone has illegal shit on there and someone informs the police the police should use diligince and investigate properly so no wrongdoing is found.
