⚡️🎮 NEW - 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.
