For non-brits: The UK has a “TV License” that you need to pay £££ to watch live or VODs of TV channels. Me and many non-boomers are exempt since we NEVER watch TV on any device, only YouTube. This is a move to make YouTube count as a branch of TV and require a TV License too.
so the government is planning MANDATORY CHANGES to how content is discovered on YouTube in the UK.
- they want YouTube to prioritise mainstream broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Channel 4 over user created content with a 'prominence regime'
this is absolutely insane and is going to severely affect everyone british youtuber should this go through. YouTube have started a campaign to fight this, but we need your help to ensure this doesn't go through like this, since this could RUIN the site
The UK government are looking to directly get involved in the YouTube algorithm to push “traditional” media and downrank independent creators
This cannot be let to happen, it will affect EVERYONE.
I urge every single CC to talk about this
The US bill which requires paid games to be playable after they shut down has failed to pass a State Senate vote 🎮
Stop Killing Games says it will try again with 'the funding to do this properly'
(via @VGC_News)
🚨 UPDATE on the freedom-killing KIDS Act. The bill has not yet shown up on the Senate legislation tracker, but we CANNOT RISK them rushing it through like they did in the House.
Call your Senators NOW and refer to it as H.R.7757, the KIDS Act.

This kills consoles. No hyperbole. The whole point of a console is to a special, in person experience with the games, going to the store, getting the disc out, and playing it forever to your hearts content
If all consoles will be now is just PC’s with less features, count me out
this is genuinely the worst news i have heard. no more sharing games with your friends, no more buying games second hand, no more OWNING your own games. fuck you playstation
