    A lobbying group from the Entertainment Software Association made bold and sometimes questionable arguments against the bill, including claiming that a community running private servers for games like Minecraft would be illegal.

    WTF

      That’s not “questionable,” that’s straight-up evil and totalitarian. There’s not any ambiguity about it, at all: the ESA wants to destroy private property ownership and subjugate us all as cattle to be milked.

        It doesn’t fucking matter. Not even a little bit. It’s 1000% an attack on property rights and must be stopped by any means necessary.

          Well then. I think someone is misconstruing something. Because surely they are not claiming Microsoft needs to stop offering what you just linked. … I assume the server software you linked isn’t forced to be public access?

          I’ve been out of the Minecraft game a long time. I assumed Bedrock was facilitated by Microsoft servers only. It’s all I used back when VR was new in Bedrock.

    What’s it take to pass a bill in the California senate? The yea votes outnumbered the nays. I wish the author of the piece had gone into more detail about that.
