"A lot of folks are worried because of that thing. You know what I'm talking about." I wish I did know, anyone care to get me into the loop?

I think it might be in reference to Westy, creator of Proud Father, getting arrested.

Wow, what a load of shit. The PROTECT Act and similar other bills just punish people over fiction. Of course most countries that have something like that are Orwellian nightmares (UK, Australia, Germany, etc.). Americans really don't know how good they've got it.

Yeah, I forgot the name of the game, but I know there was a developer who I think was from Germany, and he was having trouble with their law enforcement. Pretty sure his itch.io page got shut down for a bit. This was also like a good few months before all of this shit

You probably mean Killer7 (My New Family/My New Memories)
But he was (apparently) falsely accused of running a crypto-scam, and is currently waiting to get his files back so he can start rendering for his games again. Nobody got arrested, but they took all his computers, harddisks, etc., so he is stuck waiting for the forensics to return those.

Killer7 is not who it was, I believe the game was called "The Daddy Plan" but I could be wrong. That sucks for him though, hope that all gets resolved quickly.

Ah so *another* German dev then... :D
