@Wyrm_trainer@VeryTastyCactus@DooMYouTube Eh it seems like it's a permiating thing that hasn't gone away. 2020/2021 pushed so many people out of the scene it's almost hard to recognize at times. Crazy how much turnover there's been since then in every region, at least that was my experience in chicago.
@Anonymous756838@DooMYouTube I understand why they felt that way before the shit hit the fan, Nintendo truly did do try to hinder it for a good long while before the pedophile thing was even a blip on the radar, but they finally were on the verge of getting the support and they totally ruined it all.
@starsuper64@DooMYouTube I understand why ludwig didn't. Without smash ludwig really isn't anything. It gave him his launching pad and platform and at his core, he was always a smash bros guy until he truly blew up. He doesn't want to bring more negativity to the thing that truly launched his career.
The video game industry is lobbying against Stop Killing Games
California is considering a new law called AB 1921, also known as the Protect Our Games Act.
If passed, the bill would apply to paid digital games sold after January 1, 2027.
It requires that if a company shuts down the online services needed to play the game normally, it must give players 60 days' notice and either release a patch so the game can still be played or offer buyers a full refund.
The bill does not require companies to keep servers running forever. It simply prevents them from making a game unplayable without warning or a solution for those who already paid for it.
The Entertainment Software Association, the main group representing video game companies in the United States, is lobbying against the bill.
Their arguments are basically the usual ones:
>games are licensed, not owned
>online services are complicated
>third-party licenses expire
>security risks exist
>this could be hard or expensive to enforce
Supporters of the bill, including the Stop Killing Games campaign, say this is basic customer protection because when you buy a game, it should not suddenly stop working with no remedy.
The bill gives companies clear options and applies only to future games. A hearing is scheduled for this Thursday in the California Assembly Appropriations Committee.
If you are part of an organization in the United States, especially in California, you can submit a letter of support to the committee. This is an important step for better rights for players who buy digital games.
@Wario64 EA making a decision that undoubtedly benefits consumers in 2026, even after being acquired by silver lake and the Saudis? I'm shocked, hope they keep it up
@TH3MAF1A@SynthPotato Technically the apples of eden and the rest of the sci fi stuff in the early games were connected to ancient aliens and not magic at all really. The "magical" aspects of the world were essentially untouchable by humans which is why the artifacts were such a big plot device
