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.

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

    Just don't search this guy's name to see what other policies he has supported up until election season.

    Looks like he's a self-avowed Zionist who has predictably bad positions on Isreal, is a cryptocurrency backer, and reneged on his support for defund the police. Anything I missed?

    At age 38, he’s also nearly 20 years younger than the median member of the House, most of whom were born before Pong was released.

    There's your real problem!

    I'd argue it is a massive problem. Your legislative branch is so far behind the times that it isn't even funny anymore - they do not have any real insight into what is happening and why. I understand that you do not have to be an expert at IT stuff to be a good legislator, but your experience should at least reflect the experience of a common member of society, and they are so far away from that that it hurts my brain.

    It is a massive problem, but it's still one of many massive problems.

    Agreed their experience should reflect a commoner's experience. Hence why I will always say it is 100% BS that they get their own special health insurance, and many other such unfair things.

    We own the disk, not the intellectual property. We use the intellectual property that's on the disc we own.

    This is not a difficult concept for either regulators or the game industry to wrap their tiny minds around.

    I appreciate that the game example they gave complies with the legislation they spoke of.
