S.978 and Operation Rainfall - Major Industry Events in 2011 - Extra Credits
The landscape of the gaming industry in 2011 was significantly influenced by legislative threats and grassroots consumer activism.
- The 2011 S.978 bill proposed classifying unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content as a felony if the stream value exceeded $2,500 or the licensing value surpassed $5,000.
- Operation Rainfall successfully pressured Nintendo to localize three specific Wii titles—Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower—for the North American market after the company initially claimed there was insufficient demand.
- The S.978 legislation faced significant opposition due to its broad language, which threatened to criminalize individual content creators and impose severe penalties, including the loss of civil rights and deportation.
