Would be a fairly weak heuristic, with most social media images/videos already being like that.

Pointing the camera at a screen could potentially evade that.

For many games (and software, IoT devices, etc.), persistence/progression is tied to save files on your own device, and any authentication is more to the publisher's benefit of making sure you have an authorized copy - that's

If bills like this pass there'd be financial pressure for middleware providers to either license under terms that allow distribution at the game's end-of-life, or allow their middleware to be easily severed while still leaving the

If the bankruptcy process already involves identifying and administering the company's assets, I feel releasing the server software (as-is) to owners of the game could be part of that.

Both "giving almost no money to kids" and that the recipients (mostly adults) it did benefit were "based on religious affiliation" seem fairly surprising to me. If I donated a car, I would feel mislead by both.
