I’m a gamer. The NO FAKES Act could get me in trouble.

Congress is considering the NO FAKES Act of 2025, which aims to combat AI-generated deepfakes by establishing property rights over one's "digital replica." This legislation could negatively impact the gaming community by making it illegal to create realistic representations of individuals without consent, potentially affecting games that rely on accurate likenesses. The act introduces liability for unauthorized digital replicas, which could lead to censorship and discourage developers from offering diverse customization options. Existing laws already provide protections related to publicity rights and intellectual property, but the NO FAKES Act may disproportionately affect small developers and non-commercial fan projects. Valve has announced plans to require developers to disclose AI use in games, promoting transparency.

Nvidia GPUs are broken in one of the most demanding new PC games, says developer

Nvidia users with RTX 40-series and 50-series GPUs may experience crashes when launching the Hell is Us demo, prompting Rogue Factor to recommend lowering graphics settings and disabling upscaling and frame generation options before starting the game. The developer is working on a patch ahead of the game's official release on September 4. Previous titles have also faced similar issues, with suggestions for Nvidia users to roll back driver installations due to ongoing driver stability challenges. The crashing issue is tentatively linked to Nvidia's DLSS technology, which has been implicated in crashes across various games. The system requirements for Hell is Us indicate that an RTX 4090 is necessary for 4K gameplay at 30 fps, while an RTX 2080 Ti is recommended for 60 fps at 1080p.
