This is interesting development in this saga. Could seriously impact gaming industry, or at least parts of it.

Pfft! All the writers left Bioware a while ago. 😛 Anyway, this is just US games Co no? Unlike media there are more good games coming out of non-US than media.🤷‍♂️

It has some bonus comedy to it this time, they want "protections against unrestrained use of artificial intelligence". So basically, "I'll not work until you agree to stop replacing me!" I don't think this ends well for them. All the hacks and moochers that can't write better than ChatGPT better have some marketable life skills like knowing how to change a tire.
