I think this will cause a big schism in the Stop Killing Games movement. Game devs who were sympathetic to the movement will expect that this is enough, but a lot of people in the movement will be unsatisfied with the carveouts for MMORPGs and XBOX Game Pass and the like.

As someone in the movement since basically the beginning, this bill is enough in a lot of areas.

Subscription games already always had a "no pay, no play" expectation, so I don't see any problem with that carveout. The only real problem I can see is that in-game purchases in free to play games are not additionally explicitly named. (Though, "no monetary considerations" shouldn't include ftp + mtx)

Also, most gamepass games are available for purchase as well, so I don't see the problem there either, except the possibility that a game is removed from gamepass so you lose access despite paying, but that's something for the courts to figure out.

Right, well, the courts will figure it out, and if they decide on something you disagree with, and someone else in SKG agrees with it, is that not exactly what I predict?

A lot of people in the movement think game companies are the root problem when what they actually have a problem with is current copyright law.
