I wasn't even aware of this bill they are trying to pass but it scares the living shit out of me none-the-less. Of course, it will 'probably' end up as one of those bills with a bark much stronger than its bite but I'd rather not take that chance. If it got out of hand, every country could have a different internet which completely defeats the purpose of the internet.

I'm only speculating here but if there becomes a tangle between foreign/domestic servers and the transmit of data then yes FFXIV very well could be affected because it would hamper the game's ability to send data across country borders.

All kinds of censorship bother me on a moral level and this one is just completely out of control. Even if this bill doesn't completely destroy everything, it sets a prescedence that opens the door for new bills that give governments (Even the US government!) even more power to censor the world to death to fit their ideals.
