We just can't catch a break, can we? The EU Kids Act is nightmare fuel, if you look beneath the honorable surface claim of "protecting kids online". The breakdown: www.youtube.com/watc... #StopKillingGames #StopKillingTheInternet

All hands on deck! Ross explains how the EU Kids Act could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market! youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you"

This could legitimately end Stop Killing Games.

While we’re not pleased with the ESA’s behavior (obviously), we’ve received reports of serious threats toward individuals. This behavior does not reflect SKG’s values and anyone found to be doing this will be banned immediately.

This is a grim moment for the gaming community. Sony PlayStation announced today that it will cease all physical games production in 2028. This will essentially erase legal game preservation and ownership on their platform. The ESA lied to lawmakers to bring down the POG Act ...

11385224

Stop Killing Games @stopkillinggames.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

So, we’re quadrupling down on these statements now? Telling California Senate lawmakers that community servers are illegal and "the black market of video games" is certainly a choice. But sure, as we all know, it was likely just a misunderstanding. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

The ESA has sent another statement for what it calls "additional clarity". Here are the key differences:

- Narrowing the scope of what private servers cause trouble, specifically, ones that "host or distribute copyrighted game content."
- A "without authorization" was snuck in there, too.
- "While publishers may take different approaches," was added to the statement that publishers "reserve the right to exercise their rights against them".

Sony killing physical games will have more ripple effect than we first envision. It will hurt retailers. It will damage any affiliate marketing. This will hurt media and creators depending on affiliate income like us. Which means less exposure for games. Which will hurt sales.

One thing should now be very clear: Ubisoft is not the biggest player pulling the strings of lobbies like ESA and VGE. Sony now has a prime interest from 2028 going forward that customers don't have the slightest say. SKG needs to succeed or we can kiss this hobby goodbye.

An image with a blue header reading "LEAK. The devastating verdict on Chat Control. Internal Document: Council Legal Service on 10 June 2026." Below are three text boxes. On 'voluntary' mass scans of private chats: "The concerns have not been dispelled, as it continues to involve a general search of interpersonal communications." On the selection of targets: "An objective, sufficient connection to CSAM is required. However, such a determination is a state task and cannot be left to service providers." On Chat Control 1.0: "According to prevailing opinion, the Interim Regulation was not a legal basis for scanning interpersonal communications."
