There may be ripple effects from this bill. But honestly, I think things are more likely to improve afterwards then if the industry was 'self-regulated'. If the companies do something that is just or more predatory than before, it will likely be regulated as well. This bill would set a precedent. It's not like congress is gonna pass a popular bipartisan bill related to the gaming industry and forget about. They will likely abuse that and will be keeping an eye out. The gaming industry is not functioning in the 'dark' anymore. They can't just turn around after this and do something more predatory and assume that everyone will just forget that they can just regulate it like last time. <br><br>That said, there will likely also be layoffs.
