Stop Killing Games s'oppose aux lois sur la vérification de l'âge

Le groupe de défense des consommateurs Stop Killing Games s'est joint aux efforts visant à contrer les exigences de vérification de l'âge dans les jeux vidéo et les services en ligne. Il soutient que ces mesures menacent la préservation des jeux et les projets communautaires sans s'attaquer aux causes profondes des préjudices.

Stop Killing Games, connu pour sa campagne visant à protéger l'accès aux jeux vidéo achetés, a signé une déclaration commune s'opposant aux lois sur la vérification de l'âge. Son fondateur, Ross Scott, a souligné que de telles règles pourraient rendre illégales certaines distributions Linux en Californie et ont déjà conduit à la fermeture de jeux comme Urban Dead.
