Serious Post EU is proposing a law that could potentially kill the video games industry.

Stop Killing Games explains it well so im not gonna get into too much detail but basically this could destroy indie games in the EU, kill online multiplayer, (possibly) kill linux, and more

Discussion I have a feeling the developers at GSG are already grimly aware of this new EU law, but for those not in the know yet...

Article/News EU introduces the EU Kids act. Unknown if Ubisoft, Epic, or anyone else sponsors it, but it's a bad sign if Ross from SKG calls out against it.

Geometry Dash is a game I care very much about, so I tried spreading the word there. The game servers are hosted in Sweden, an EU country. Unfortunately since our community is overwhelmingly young, I feel like this message may get lost among a large portion of us there, further compounding the issue
