To be clear, as our Chat tab has (tasvideos.org/LiveChat), our official form of real-time communication is our Discord server, which is where all of our staff reside. The IRC server is our legacy chat and practically is abandoned (as no staff resides in that server, nor even lurks there).

That majority includes Canvas. Used for schools (like half of them use Canvas). Thanks Amazon, doing your part to screw over the U.S. educational system.

My initial point is that the 3 games are ultimately lumped into the same exact legal issues as far many countries laws are concerned, not just 1 game is alone in having "legal issues" (that distinction is only possible for some countries, like the USA and Japan).

None, most likely. Any actual legal issues would be at most limited to user interaction on their website... which given the contents of those games I can see why they don't want to constantly moderate whatever threads to make sure people don't post a screenshot of the games.

As such, whether the line would be crossed would have to come from RetroAchievements' editorialization rather than a simple reading of various countries' laws... which they chose poorly initially before self-correcting.

Granted, I imagine under those countries laws Clover possibly would run into legal issues too, but that's a lot more muddy to figure out / not like a court would ever consider it since not like the game is being sold within such countries.

With that 1 game, it would make sense given even under US laws it would just be illegal.

The other 2, while in the US it'd be legal, in other countries it would not be (e.g. the UK, France, etc) and would be considered the same as how the US would treat the 1 game.

A minor update, more tests have been written here, with the first few being corrected (no longer invoking quirks tested in later tests)

Even for people in big cities, I would assume it'd be unlikely for everything you need to be happily located within your suburb, most likely you're moving around towards the city proper for work or something else, or some other surburb.

Unless you're in a big city and maybe not even including moving around different suburbs... how do you even do this? My family has to leave town at least for groceries, work and doctor/etc appointments. For in-person university we'd also have to leave town.

The feature is currently opt-in, not opt-out.

(Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if YouTube changes course and proceeds to opt everyone in with some greater rollout later on considering people are unlikely to opt in)
