As stupid as this proposed ban is, the author of this article does not seem to understand that it is Sony/Microsoft/Valve who have to comply with the ban. The state doesn't have to do anything other than pass the law and/or regulation. Sony/Microsoft/Valve need to figure out the 'how' - and if they can't, pay the fines.
That's correct, but then the issue does become Federal. It's not like the state can easily collect on those fines from out-of-state entities without the backing of Federal courts.
Sure, but how far do you take it? Are you going to hit Valve/Sony/MSFT for failing to block people who use VPNs or other means to hide their locations? Or just require them to do something superficial?
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
