    Making this limited to just video games is stupid. This practice spans so many industries, including cars now with remote shutoff abilities.

    Funny how so many super-popular & obviously good for constituents legislation proposals get announced shortly before an election, but almost never actually make it into the law books. It’s so obvious, it’s cringe.

      He’s had a long time to push that legislation. Waited for that genocide money to keep him interested.

      I can’t tell what makes me cringe more. This politician announcing a “Gamers Rise Up Act” a month before election, clearly pandering for votes, or the non-zero number of sad men who will actually vote for him because video games.

    This AIPAC freak tried to call a Jewish comedian antisemitic for not supporting Israel’s genocide

    This is the dumbest, most patronizing thing that I’ve ever heard of in regards to gaming. Imagine being so down bad for votes that you have to appeal to people too stupid to torrent games or use emulators.
