More than 10 million levels are now offline.

In a remarkably strange statement at a recent California State Senate hearing over the Protect Our Games Act (AB 1921, California's Stop Killing Games-endorsed bill to compel publishers to provide ways to keep playing discontinued games), a representative of the Entertainment Software Association declared private servers for the likes of Minecraft and Call of Duty "illegal," adding that, so far as the ESA is concerned, "we consider it piracy."

In a statement to PC Gamer, the ESA wrote that, so far as it's concerned, "Private servers infringe on the intellectual property (IP) rights of game publishers. Publishers reserve the right to exercise their rights against them."

This is self explanatory; to all who do not support the idea of ownership, there shall be no more funding, regardless of their game's quality.

Any time I want to catch with official news about what's going on, I have to scour the web. All they have a is Discord server which is a data-mining operation and a subreddit that has a bunch of random posts that are on topic, but not necessarily news.

The homepage doesn't have an official account for anything (peertube, mastodon, pixelfed, not even instagram or Xitter). What's going on?
