This is an act of warfare. Their going after the last form of entertainment immune to their probes and agendas. I know that people aren't going to take this shit lying down, some people build their livelihoods around video games. For some people, this is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I've seen what happens when gamers get angry and boy, it's wild and what happens when a state makes it's people angry? Unrest arises.
Hardcore gamers end up spending a lot of time gaming. That already puts them into the periphery of all sorts of stuff, like networking with people, coding and nifty hardware like USB killers.
Imagine taking the enjoyment away from hardcore gamers and giving them extra time to do things that can prove destructive to ye who would sleight us.
Odd and extremely bold move. How long until components are next?
If components really are on the table, then I doubt anyone, not even leftist gamers would take kindly to that.
I'd hope that 4chan would be the one to get the ball rolling here and show that the people don't take shit lying down but 4chan ain't what it used to be. 4chan is usually the best at this kind of thing. If you're curious, watch Pool's Closed and Very Serious Business by Internet Historian. 4chan is extremely good at trolling, especially the media. I bet that they can piss off California enough to make a point.

Expect a lot of hacked accounts. And hacked street signs.
