The California State Assembly has passed the Protect Our Games Act, a bill centred on protecting consumer rights as detailed by the Stop Killing Games movement.
EU trade body Video Games Europe - which represents the likes of Ubisoft, Take-Two, Warner Bros., Riot Games, Activision Blizzard, Microsoft, and Nintendo - insisting the initiative's proposals would make games "prohibitively expensive to create".

Offline games out number online games by the thousands. Unreal Tournament (1999) has remained playable with self hosted or community hosted servers since launch.
