Stop Killing Games law is now going to be voted for in California. ESA (video game companies lobbying group) tried to put it down and failed. If the law will be applied (and it's getting traction among ones who will vote), all new games available in Californiaβ¦
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.

Deus Ex is on sale by the way: https://store.steampowered.com/app/238010/Deus_Ex_Human_Revolution__Directors_Cut/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/337000/Deus_Ex_Mankind_Divided/ #DeusEx@GameDEV
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 β about 1/3 of breakable walls have guards behind them and that's insta-kill.
Please, don't game design like this, dammit...

Meet Modern Warfare 4 So, North Korea? It didn't work for Homefront, but it was cool at times. And equally memorable in Crysis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLbst85USN8 #CallOfDuty@GameDEV #Activision@GameDEV
Wait, they literally stole the character from Battlefield 4 into MW4!

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

Finally, DLSS update has reached Helldivers 2. Apparently, the shit is completely broken now. At best you will get shimmering. At worst, flares!
So, I was wrong, the answer is yes: https://www.gameunion.tv/en/games/helldivers-ii-game-engine-discontinued-autodesk-stingray-it-135
Also, Helldivers are... fallen to BUGS! :D
