That's a really good question.
I think right off the bat, we'd have hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits flying. Most game companies would simply cease to exist.. remember, Sega and Nintendo even had a gun!
The next steps would be interesting.. would they want registration of our games? Would there be "buy back" programs? Unlike a physical object, I can go ahead and give you my dvd or cd, but is the game really gone?
And that's not even considering the backlash. Many of us - like myself - grew up with video games. (Kid Icarus ftw!) And now many of us are technology professionals with massive platforms, discretionary funds, and near legendary stubbornness.
I think it would make the SOPA reaction look like a fart in the wind.
- dromidas 14y agoYeah, lets ban violent video games. That way I'm forced to pirate them instead of buy them on Steam sales. I haven't had to pirate anything since I was a poor college waif.
