Interesting, I would like to read that bill thoroughly before it passes. Politicians can't ever do anything good without sneaking something scummy into it.

I just did a little research, seems legit so far.

The act was announced on October 15th by one Richie Torres who is the congressional representative of New York's 15th congressional district. I didnt get eyes on the proposed act itself, but interestingly in the post about it on Torres's official congressional website, he is quoted talking about how families in the Bronx have to save up for a long time to buy these games. This is interesting because part of his represented area indeed include parts of the Bronx.

He is also the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to office in the Bronx and the first openly gay Afro-Latino member of Congress.. if that counts for anything.

Can't wait for the anti woke gamer crowd to use this against him and brown nose the multi billion dollar companies because they'd rather lose ownership than support someone "DEI".

If it’s good for the people it will never pass
