I like this but why stop at Video Games?
john_strinlai•33m ago
it's easier to formulate and pass something with a smaller scope, like this, and then expand/iterate on it to apply more broadly.
2OEH8eoCRo0•28m ago
I agree. I think this is why lobbyists will be flooding this guy very soon. They don't want the door cracked.
hk1337•22m ago
Maybe in one aspect but it also raises the question, "Why is Congress concerned with details like this?"

Just trying to point out what could be the opposition for this, not that it's a bad thing to pass.

It's easier to pass a bill for video games than try to cram movies and music in the same bill.
Brybry•6m ago
I doubt it will become law either way.

Congress.gov says Rep. Ritchie Torres has sponsored 171 bills since 2021 and only one became a law, five passed the House and most of those were under Democrat majority. [1]

I'm glad they're spending time and effort on issues important to everyday Americans' problems.
iugtmkbdfil834•12m ago
You sound dismissive, but gamers as a whole is a demographic that is hard to be ignored and happens to span groups otherwise counter to one another. Any politician who would not take advantage does it to their own detriment.
bayarearefugee•10m ago
Yeah, I'm certainly not opposed to this law, but it seems like a strange thing to focus on as our democracy and the rule of law is crumbling in real-time.
skinfaxi•9m ago
I sincerely don't understand this mentality. Legislators consider more than one bill per legislative session. We can (and must!) push along multiple axes, otherwise we will always be behind right?
bayarearefugee•7m ago
The house is engulfed in fire and we're sweeping the kitchen floor.
skinfaxi•7m ago
If this were the only bill being considered I'd agree with you. By this logic we would only focus on one issue at a time and others would get worse in the meantime, so we would always be behind.

> Games with online functionality would also be required to provide an offline mode before the servers supporting them are shut down.

For some games, like MMORPGs, an offline mode doesn't make sense.

In lieu of that, they need to make the server binaries available, along with client functionality to let you choose a server. They shouldn't be required to offer support, but the nerd community is great at figuring things out. They'll get it working and produce guides.

Just because the fire department is insane doesn't mean that the cleaning crew needs to stop working.

> the rule of law is crumbling in real-time.

Why would the people in charge focus on this? They consider it a feature, not a bug.
