@Dexerto 13:15 on the video. This post is inaccurate, the fight is not done at all. The Commission is practically outmoded due to the initiative receiving parliment majority. Practically rage baiting! Community Note please!

Ubisoft CEO is today having an "invitation-only" meeting with the European Commission, hosted by VGE, 2 weeks before the EC planned answer to our ECI.
SKG was not invited.
Thus, we publish an Open Letter, that we invite everyone of you to read it and share it for visibility.
@LambdaGen I'm very worried about that refund option, especially games with microtransactions. Do they refund the game itself only or also the microtransactions?
Just another reminder -- yes im aware proton 11 is out. yes I know GE-Proton is overdue for an update. yes, the reason it hasn't gotten one is because I'm still working on the video playback rework. I've got a TON of games with broken video playback working. It'll be worth it.
What's hilarious, is that this sentiment is a modern development for TF2. Statements like this were practically never said before 2016. Back then, YouTube videos translated almost one for one to the gameplay experience.
Then, something happened (gee, I can only wonder what), and the game became miserable to play. But, thanks to the power of editing, it's still fun to watch. You can cut out all of the bullshit that ruins the modern experience, and leave behind the quality nuggets of gameplay.
Presently, from the outside in, nothing looks wrong with TF2, but when you actually try to play the game? Well, we can't talk about that...
@Moritz_Katzner@StopKilingGames This EULA is forced on by Krafton. Not to mention almost all AAA games have these EULA now.
This is bad, but we should focus on the AAA game companies not AA/Indie. Especially with Subnautica 2 and Unknown Worlds who almost got screwed out of their bonus, which depends on sales.
@JuiceHead33 I mean, DLC is one thing, but long term support has been shit. It's been 7 months since the 100GB announcement for Fallout 4.
Not to mention 99% of the good content has been from the community.
Heck Bethesda has done nothing except monetize mods.
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.

I have obtained SHOCKING unseen footage of the Presentation from Bethesda to the New Vegas developers, recently mentioned by Chris Avellone.
I think they went a bit too far, what do you guys think?
