California Bill Aimed at Ensuring Game Playability Post-Server Shutdown Faces Criticism from ESA for Misunderstanding Game Mechanics
Earlier this month, Stop Killing Games, the campaign group seeking to prevent online games being rendered unplayable when publishers shut down their servers, threw their support behind a Californian bill aiming to put a requirement that studios either take action to keep games running after server shutterings or provide full refunds into law. As said bill – dubbed AB 1921 – continues to meander through the lawmaking process, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) have come out in opposition of it, arguing the proposal “doesn’t reflect how games actually work today”.
Official Announcement: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Collection Set to Debut in September, Every Pack Contains Pikachu
### 2026: The 30th Anniversary of Pokémon and the Highly Anticipated Celebration Set
The year 2026 signifies an important milestone for the Pokémon franchise, celebrating its 30th anniversary. In honor of this historic occasion, The Pokémon Company has revealed the launch of a special 30th Anniversary Celebration set for its trading card game, set to make its international debut on September 16, with further releases lined up for the year.
The Pokémon community has been keenly anticipating information about this anniversary set, with fans first alerted by a report from PokéBeach, indicating that the Japanese edition of the anniversary collection, named the Celebration Collection, will feature six-card booster packs, each guaranteed to include one of 30 distinct Pikachu cards. All cards in the set are crafted as foils, eliminating any standard cards and ensuring a high-quality experience for both collectors and players.
The initial hint about the set was revealed on February 27 during Pokémon Day, when The Pokémon Company shared abstract images of cards representing the three decades of the trading card game. The announcement sparked widespread speculation, particularly concerning two prominent cards featuring Mew and Mewtwo that seemed to stand out significantly. Hopes were high that the set might contain reprints of vintage cards, a thought that excited many collectors.
However, recent confirmations clarify that the collection will indeed showcase 30 classic cards embellished with a special “30th” stamp and, where applicable, foil enhancements. Among these reprints, collectors can look forward to another version of the highly sought-after Base Set Charizard, a card known to achieve staggering market prices.
Adding an extra layer of intrigue to the Celebration set is the introduction of a new rarity known as Futuristic Rare. These cards feature vibrant, neon designs and will illustrate Pokémon through “striking artwork reminiscent of hope toward an unknown future.” The details regarding the quantity of Futuristic Rare cards in the set are yet to be revealed, but they introduce an innovative twist to the collection.
A significant change in this anniversary celebration is that, unlike prior releases, this set will be available simultaneously in Japan and internationally on September 16. Historically, international releases have had a delay of two to three months, frequently combining multiple Japanese sets into larger launches. This simultaneous rollout is a welcome shift for fans globally who have regularly waited for new sets to reach their markets.
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding the set, an unexpected change has raised some concerns: international booster packs will only include five cards, while Japanese packs typically contain six. This revised pack size may leave international collectors feeling underwhelmed.
In conclusion, the Pokémon 30th Anniversary Celebration set is set to provide a remarkable experience filled with nostalgia and excitement for fans worldwide. With its unique cards, exclusive rarities, and simultaneous release, it is expected to become a significant highlight in the history of the trading card game. Collectors and enthusiasts alike should mark their calendars for September 16, 2026, as Pokémon continues to captivate audiences three decades after its launch.
“Midnight Moments: A Cyberpunk Diorama Builder for Enthusiasts of Neon Signs and Rainy Atmospheres”
I’m finding the relatively recent trend of supposedly calming diorama builders in games to be an interesting one in that there’s a clear desire amongst creatively inclined folks to be crafting something in virtual environments, just not necessarily at scale. Just this week I wrote about Sandcastle, a literal sandbox game where you build sandcastles, and of course there’s Tiny Glade too which good ole Christian Donlan loved. And now there’s Midnight Moments, a cyberpunk diorama builder that has me thinking about the function of these games.
