It's unclear whether the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) will survive Congress, but regulation focused on Big Tech is going to include video games. What happens next?
the regulation in this case is more about exploitation of children in online spaces, not so much about violence in videogames. That question was settled in the 90s.
Tell that to the IOC who refused to feature any shooters at the Esports Olympics because they’re “too violent” - they even forced Fortnite to make a target shooting mode for its entry!
well that’s the Olympics. They are the dictators of their event, for better or for worse. Rules in the Olympics are important, but they are not legislation or regulation.
I had never heard of it, but I went to find out who won the SC2 gold medal and found out instead that they only included video game versions of established olympic sports, i.e. the fortnite was target shooting mode because target shooting is a sport that’s in the olympics.
