In a remarkably strange statement at a recent California State Senate hearing over the Protect Our Games Act (AB 1921, California’s Stop Killing Games-endorsed bill to compel publishers to provide ways to keep playing discontinued games), a representative of the Entertainment Software Association declared private servers for the likes of Minecraft and Call of Duty “illegal,” adding that, so far as the ESA is concerned, “we consider it piracy.”
In a statement to PC Gamer, the ESA wrote that, so far as it’s concerned, “Private servers infringe on the intellectual property (IP) rights of game publishers. Publishers reserve the right to exercise their rights against them.”
Why is the European Space Agency doing this instead of a moon program or something? /j
For a moment there I was wondering what was happening on the ISS for ESA to make such a statement
the astronauts running a private minecraft server on mission-critical equipment? :P
I had to google ESA multiple times because I kept getting AI summaries for the space agency.
today is a good day to ditch Google
Use DDG and turn the AI off.
AI is always useless.
