Though there’s a carve-out for game consoles.

That carve out is so blatant, and so obvious, that I'm surprised that actually exists.

It really puts a negative light on the politicians who wrote the law for all of the voters to see.

I really hope there's some investigative reporting as to who wrote the law, and who wrote that clause, so we can identify them easier in the next election cycle.

They're already pushing for more and more current gen games to be released on the iPhone 15. It's pretty much there.

look up the specs and see for yourself. the new pro model is higher performance than the M1 chip

That doesn't give it enough gpu or heat capacity to run without throttling modern games lmaoo

Sony already has experience with that kind of stunt.
