I love this is a thing. But I do want to point out it has zero chance of passing. Gaming companies will lobby against it hard, or they will attach a bunch of riders to it that it doesn't move on.
U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres introduces the "Power to the Players Act" to protect digital game ownership The bill would require games to remain playable offline after server shutdowns and protect consumers from losing access to games they purchase

Zeta set scalpers are in shambles and they should be. Get out of my hobby and let us actually enjoy it. Sorry, but MTG is not "financial security" and shouldn't be treated as such magic.wizards.com/en/news/an…

AHAHAHAHAHA! Scalpers getting got will never get old. The RICO violation one got me laughing the most because Pokemon doesn't owe the after sale market anything and calling "scalped prices" fair market is laughable in itself
It turns out that speculation carries risk and the line doesn't always go up...

Take-Two out here claiming we will all be game streaming in the next couple of years anyway, and I do need to remind you that many areas still do not have the infrastructure to support that nor will they in just a few years.

Say it with me "Corporations don't care about you outside of the money you give them." Also, the argument isn't "Do you specifically buy physical," but rather "Do you trust Sony to always have that content because you paid for it" and the answer should be no because they don't
Made the mistake of seeing what some content creators were saying about the Sony physical games fiasco. "It's not a big deal. I only buy digital. I trust Sony." A Sony executive would throw your mother into a woodchipper it it made his profit margin graph rise a centimeter.

My cat kept bugging me so I would roll over and he could have the spot of the bed I already heated up.

This man is out here saying "We want to turn being able to obtain knowledge into a utility" and people are still funding this? If you see this and think AI is clearly the way of our future, then you can start paying your bills upfront to this man because this should terrify you.

I see this floating around and see people spin it two ways. "Xbox is going AI despite saying they weren't" and "AI execs are jumping ship." Given that courts are catching up with AI and floating that whole industry will end. I think it is the second one
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma overhauls Xbox leadership with new executive team makeup: ▪️Jared Palmer | Former CoreAI VP of Product joins as VP of Engineering ▪️Tim Allen | Former CoreAI VP of Design joins to lead design ▪️Jonathan McKay | Former CoreAI Head of Growth joins to lead Xbox growth, data platform and analytics ▪️Evan Chaki | Former CoreAI General Manager joins to simplify dev and improving how Xbox operates theverge.com/news/923908/mic… #Xbox

What you made mattered...No, I don't think the AI slop this allowed mattered much...unless you want to talk about natural resource waste that is. Now then, @AnthropicAI should follow with Claude because creating AI slop videos is not "for the betterment of mankind"
We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

I know some of you who see ny posts bave noticed more of a political tint as of late. But I honestly just can't sit by while I witness the atrocities being committed in the US. As escalation rises, and more people comment with lack of empathy, it makes me feel for my loved ones.

But @Microsoft , how will we get the RAM and CPU's to run these personal assistants? @nvidia won't sell us the big boy toys anymore lol
Microsoft AI boss says that in five years “everybody will have their own AI companion” Mustafa Suleyman added that it will know people “so intimately and so personally” they choose to “live life alongside” it

Will never understand the people who say gay people shouldn't show their sexuality while turning around and making out in their "straight" relationship...so you only care if you don't like it, got it.

Wizards out here pulling back the Monster Hunter secret lair drop and citing the fans being upset ..yeah, no. Capcom was likely upset about the poor quality control and reception and told Wizards they have to pull the drop and rework it.

Damn @VerizonSupport , that is over 20 spam calls in under 8 hours today. Who did you sell your numbers list to this time?

“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it. I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief. Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.” Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

Randy Pitchford really should learn to stop going on Twitter rampage against game performance criticism. Given your game also crashed my entire PS5 within the first 4 hours of playing, I would say the criticism can be warranted. Give the team time to fix those issues though

Gonna just say I am a little disgusted over all the honorifics involved in Charlier Kirk's death. You don't see these same things done when a school is shot up, or almost any other person is shot and killed. So why him? (And yes, I get it is because the Right loved him)
