Stop Killing Games US is taking on the Entertainment Software Association over California’s proposed POG Act / AB 1921, a bill focused on protecting players when publishers shut down games they already sold.

Moritz Katzner opens with context on the bill’s progress and the upcoming committee vote, followed by a breakdown of the current bill text, how it changed from the earlier draft, and why the ESA’s arguments against it fall apart under scrutiny.

Topics covered include the California bill, game shutdowns, refunds, licensed content, online services, preservation, and the difference between ending support and deliberately making a purchased game unplayable.

A detailed look at one of the biggest current fights in game preservation and consumer rights.
