Great news for @StopKilingGames! "CA Assembly Appropriations Committee just voted YES to move the bill to the Assembly floor." - @Moritz_Katzner @ChrisWardCA and California waltzed over the gaslighting non-arguments from the ESA. We are one step closer to our goal!

Je ne sais pas si on se rend compte, mais cette nuit il y a eu une avancée majeure quant à la préservation du jeu vidéo en Californie. Vous savez qu'on se bat ensemble avec @StopKilingGames et @UFCquechoisir depuis des mois pour éviter tous les cas typiques style "The Crew" avec des serveurs qui ferment, des jeux qui disparaissent, leur mode solo compris, sans aucun scrupule. Aujourd'hui c'est une très étape importante de franchie : une commission de l'Assemblée de l'État vient de donner son feu vert au projet de loi AB 1921, ouvrant la voie à un vote décisif de l'Assemblée plénière. Juste pour résumer hein si cela s'applique, ce serait une victoire de malade : Avant de débrancher la prise d'un serveur, l'entreprise devra obligatoirement prévenir sa communauté au moins 60 jours à l'avance. OUI. Mais surtout, elle devra offrir l'une de ces "vies supplémentaires" aux joueurs : - Une mise à jour gratuite permettant de continuer l'aventure en se passant des serveurs officiels de l'entreprise et l'immortalité hors-ligne pour le solo : Une version du jeu jouable indéfiniment sans aucune connexion requise. 💰 Le "Refund" absolu : Un remboursement intégral de l'achat si jamais il est concerné par un retrait de vos bibliothèques. Les protestations de l'ESA, L'Entertainment Software Association, le Lobby de l'industrie n'a pas eu d'incidence pour une fois ici. On attend maintenant que l'ensemble des législateurs de l'Assemblée valident. Ce pourrait être un tournant. On va peut-être y arriver ✊ On attend ! Bravo à @ChrisWardCA qui porte avec vaillance le « Protect Our Games Act » (Loi pour la protection de nos jeux) auprès de l'Assemblée !

In honor of the @StopKilingGames community, all its supporters @JoshStrifeHayes @accursedfarms @DoesItPlay1 @Deathlyrage @RWSstudios @MarketkaG @ChrisWardCA (can’t mention the endless list, character limit xD) WE SAY AEY! #StopKillingGames

We took apart @theESA lobby paper against @StopKilingGames. Watch @accursedfarms video down below 👇

We have a new video featuring @accursedfarms tearing down @theESA's argument against the Protect our Games Act (which is essentially a more detailed rundown of the points in our counter-response to the ESA)

I was asked to make a video on the ESA's response to the pro-#StopKillingGames California Bill. The ESA 100% lived up to their reputation in this. youtube.com/watch?v=gjUaH1…

@OnimaruRyujin We (and the law) are making distinctions on how games are sold, not singleplayer vs multiplayer. Chcck the chart below for a longer explanation. @accursedfarms explained this in a few videos in the past: youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?li… youtu.be/sEVBiN5SKuA?li…

@StopKilingGames how do you think this will affect digital games that are primarily single player like for example crimson desert will this allow us to own the game even if it does not need internet to connect to play or verify license

The Entertainment Software Association and Stop Killing Games campaign have been busy lobbying over the pending legislation. bit.ly/4d9zuPa

La ESA protege a la industria del videojuego de forzar la preservación: buscan tumbar la iniciativa Stop Killing Games elchapuzasinformatico.com/2026/05/la-esa…

La ESA no tuvo suficiente con matar el E3, ahora quiere hacer lo mismo con Stop Killing Games 3djuegos.com/industria-gami… #3DJuegos

You've seen ESA's response to the Protect our Games Act, now see our counter-response:

The industry is lobbying hard against @StopKilingGames The ESA is now pulling the same moves in the US that VGE used in Europe. Opposing AB 1921 (California’s POG Act). They’re using the same tired scripts: ❌ "Games are licensed" ❌ "Servers are complex" ❌ "Too expensive"

Stop Killing Games says age verification laws make game preservation ‘harder or even impossible’ 🔗 massivelyop.com/2026/05/11/sto… #StopKillingGames @StopKillingGames @accursedfarms

Pure villain behavior from the ESA once again. At this point, it should be a PR liability to be part of this group. Imagine opposing customer rights and the preservation of history. Couldn't look ourselves in the face anymore, if that was our stance.

Industry lobbyists ridicule "false premise" that "consumers 'own' digital games" amid Stop Killing Games fight gamesradar.com/games/industry…

Game industry lobby group that argued against preservation efforts from libraries is now pushing back on Stop Killing Games, saying it could prevent 'new games, features, and technology' pcgamer.com/gaming-industr…

"The industry wants people to think this is a demand for eternal server support ... it isn't" - E3 owner and Stop Killing Games clash over Californian games bill eurogamer.net/esa-e3-califor…

The industry is lobbying against @StopKilingGames again. Entertainment Software Association (lobby) is opposing AB 1921, California’s Protect Our Games Act, with the usual arguments: “games are licensed,” “servers are complicated,” “security risks,” “too expensive.”
