The whole PR war between Epic and Valve can be summed up with: You mad, bro?

After the initial approval, California State Assembly fully passed AB 1921 (a huge win for Stop Killing Games):

All new games available in California will have to either introduce a valid offline mode, provide a solution for user-hosted servers, or refund every single customer in case of closure.

It will be illegal to sell or monetize games 60 days before servers shutdown. And the warning about that should be announced clearly at least 60 days prior the closure.

Bill does not apply to free-to-play games, subscription-based titles, or existing offline single-player games. So, publishers are left with some options to phase out.

I'm trying to complete Deus Ex HR without kills and you know what? One of NPCs lies down dead (how?) and the wall-breaking skill is super-risky — about 1/3 of breakable walls have guards behind them and that's insta-kill.

Please, don't game design like this, dammit...

Also, the game features Dopefish
Every game has to feature it
That's the rule

There is now a fake AI video guide and fake AI article on every technical issue you have. 99% of the time they are telling you to update Windows, then update drivers, then check if the game cache is fine.

Of course, that's bullshit and time-wasting crap, but they make money on you watching it so they DON'T GIVE A FUCK, OKAY?

Guides were bad before AI
It got horrific when AI became available
