The Gaming Industry Reacts to the Net Neutrality Repeal

Neutrality

Yesterday we saw the vote by the FCC made in order to put an end to Net Neutrality as we know it. This move has flipped the gaming community over its head. Gamers and Game companies from all around the world soon voiced their concerns and disapproval of the decision taken by the FCC.

The FCC clearly doesn’t give a damn about what the consumers want or what the citizens want. However, there are still many more steps that must be successfully completed before Net Neutrality is officially disbanded. However, that doesn’t mean that industry giants can’t voice their opinions now.

Many online-reliant companies, and individual brand owners, could see a massive backlash for this as well. Soon we started to see people like the famed YouTuber Markiplier making a comment about this situation. But soon other streamers joined him as well:

Markiplier urges gamers and his fans to go up and rise against the Net neutrality decision.  He wasn’t alone either, many industry giants like Arc System Works and joined in the campaign to ask gamers to continue fighting.

Heck, even Devolver Digital voiced their concerns the only way they knew how:

More and more are using the #NetNeutrality hashtag to spread the word as a call to arms. The very internet at stake can be a powerful tool. This is starting to sound like a repeat of the events from the SOPA and PIPA acts when they were about to be passed.

Net Neutrality is the very reason why we stay together as a free Internet. To attack on it would be violating our basic right of freedom of expression. However, this and many other fellow community members (And even people from other outlets) are gathering to offer their input.

Overall, the discussion needs to continue, game developers have already voiced their concerns. This is something that needs to continue to be talked about all the time. Remember, call your fellow congressmen and convince them that Net Neutrality needs to stay.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

The Final Horizon DLC from Sonic Frontiers is surprisingly hard

Sonic Frontier’s third and final free DLC update, The Final Horizon, is frustrating some players with its difficulty. Some say it’s Sonic’s hardest gameplay ever.

Many players complained about this unexpected difficulty spike in a 12-page GameFaqs forum post called “This DLC is way too hard” (thanks VGC). One of the main complaints about Sonic Frontiers was that it was too easy, and Team Sonic overcorrected, which makes it surprising.

Final Horizon, the last free update, let players play as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy and complete a variety of optional challenges, which is the challenge. Many are breaking down after a vertigo-inducing tower that requires pixel-perfect platforming without checkpoints, apparently inspired by viral Twitch hit Only Up!

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s cinematic trailer appeared suddenly as the wait seemed endless. It shows us that together, we can overcome anything.

The scene is surprisingly sad, with flashbacks to each Spider-Man’s tragic past. As property damages mount, Peter and Miles have emotional internal monologues while fighting Venom.

Venom appears to be about to lose when he realizes they can be stronger together before the scene fades to black. We won’t know how this story ends until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on October 20.

Do you think teamwork makes the dream work? Should you see more of Insomniac’s latest or are you sold?

We’ve accepted playing without our favorite character and are starting to like Reload. The setting, story, and cast have always been great, and the more we learn about the proposed changes, the more we want to return to Tartarus.

With Persona 3 Reload, where are you? Did you play the game before or is this your first time?
