It is a law universally understood that at any given time on any given video game related subject there exist infinite number of people both complaining about the thing and growing increasingly hype about it

Thank you for your well considered response, although i have to disagree with several of the points:

“Turns out there are other markets where Activision’s reputation matters. They still need to hire people, which is harder than it sounds and VERY influenced by whether you think people are gonna actually abuse you. They still need good press just as a part of the normal marketing cycle.”

A similar post was made exactly 3 minutes before yours, but was about this being puritanical and anti sex.

Don't be an asshole on the internet!

More positive stories please 

“The restrictions imposed on players don’t come from a law; it’s an industry regulation recently passed by the National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA). As a parallel example: Imagine that you’re an American company that wants to dump radioactive waste into a lake, and the Environmental Protection Agency…

I largely game on consoles, recently bought my first ever gaming laptop, which I use sparingly, and am now considering buying this as a way to play that new/growing PC game library in my preferred manner (curled up on the couch). My big question is how easy it will be to run Game Pass in addition to Steam

If it were not difficult to not be an asshole, we'd be living in a very different timeline!

This is an interesting article / explainer, but I’m not sure I would arrive at the same conclusion. Big corporations engage big law firms all the time for all sorts of law stuff. They don’t need to make a big announcement about it. If they feel a need for legal assistance for union-busting purposes, I’m sure they’re…
