UKs Online Safety Minister has announced all in-game chat will be placed behind an ID gate. Cutting of teenagers from the ability to socialise, risking the cybersecurity of gamers and driving up costs for Gaming industry gamersvoice.org/uk-gaming-re… #SaveOurGames #Stopkillinginternet
We just had a productive emergency meeting about the U.K. Government announcing they would restrict chat functions in games. We are mobilising on this issue! #SaveourGames #Stopkillinginternet more to follow tomorrow.
Wouldn’t such a tax just disproportionately hit gaming and gamers? A lot of costs will get passed onto consumers.
France has approved a proposal for a new €0.055 tax per GB of internet traffic, and game downloads could be affected.
If GTA 6 ends up being around 218 GB, downloading it could cost €12 in tax under the proposal.
The tax could also affect other big game downloads and streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.
However, it’s not law yet. The proposal still needs to pass through the remaining legislative process in France.
Games with paid loot boxes are being moved to PEGI 16 under updated European age-rating rules. Better consumer protection should tackle harmful business practices for everyone, not turn gaming into an ID checkpoint.

NBA 2K25 launched just over two years ago. On 31 December its online service which are a major part of the game will be shut down. Players paid full price for a game whose major features have a limited lifespan. #StopKillingGames. support.2k.com/hc/en-us/arti…
The Online Safety Act hasn’t made children safer but it has caused some gaming services to close down. Time for a re-think on how we create a safer Internet without harming people’s ability to play games and participate

If this were a story about a fictional character in a book or other form of medium it likely wouldn’t be a story. Why is it a story when it’s a game?? Is this just marketing or what? bbc.com/news/articles/ckn9wr… #GTAV #Gaming #hype #cheating

ALT We’re aware that Total War: Shogun 2 – Complete Edition has fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards. We’ve seen your feedback, comments, and reviews. We agree that the current experience is not where it needs to be. As a result we are working with platform holders to temporarily remove the game from sale and to reinstate the original game while we investigate the issues. Existing owners will still be able to access and play the game. We are working closely with our development partner to identify the causes of these problems, deliver improvements, and ensure Shogun 2 – Complete Edition meets the quality standards players expect from Total War.

Nexus Mods has issued an informal warning to the creator of the Mags Beep Bop Carter mod for Gears of War: E-Day after they shared alternative download links following the mod’s removal.
The creator pointed people towards sites like Ayaka Mods and DEG Mods, where the mod is available. Nexus Mods says directing users to external sites hosting content that violates its rules, including content it cannot legally host itself, is prohibited.
“There is a reason our filters catch those sites. Ayaka Mods hosts content that in suitable under our Terms of Service and illegal content under the UK Online Safety Act.
We've issued an informal warning just to let you know to avoid this in future. It's not publicly recorded and we have no plans to take any further action.”

It takes like 2 minutes and it might help not live in an even worse shithole that we're already in
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: youtube.com/watch?v=mQRcK9nY…

I put together a video going over the most damning parts of the EU Kids Act. It would make playing unsupported games online in the EU illegal, no joke. This is way bigger than SKG, most of the industry seems to be sleeping on this.

Why do politicians seem to hate people being able to play and enjoy games? This excellent video by Ross breaks down why the EU’s Kids Act is just awful. Children do actually need play and games as well to have a happy life. youtube.com/watch?v=mQRcK9nY… #Stopkillinginternet
This impacts not just the EU but gamers everywhere! Please do pay attention, learn about it and then share with mates in your discord and chats #Stopkillinginternet #SKGaming
All hands on deck! This is the biggest threat to Stop Killing Games yet!
The EU #KidsAct could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market and making private and community servers illegal!:
