The TPP Effect On The Video Game Industry

How the Trans-Pacific Partnership will affect video games


What is TPP? [Trans-Pacific Partnership]

Watch this video to learn more (Jan-2016)


----OLD 2015---
The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is a deal currently being negotiated between 12 countries, including Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, United States, Vietnam - and currently, drafts leaked to media suggest that there's a lot to be afraid of. The Governments can still refine or reject parts of the deal that aren't in the public interest; but without public pressure, there's little hope of hearing about, much less putting a stop to, the devil in the detail.

[Warning long version below] Seek out the other videos below this video if you want to get straight to the negatives in under 2-minutes!


The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free-trade deal is 5,544 pages long

The full TPP treaty text can be read here.

Everything below highlights the negatives of TPP [Shorter Versions] that get to the point!

The Trans-Pacific Partnership: the dirtiest trade deal, you've never heard of

Below video is directed towards Australia, but highlights other dirty things that can and will affect other countries listed!

[United States] The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the largest--and worst--trade deal you've never heard of and Republicans in Congress want to work with the Obama administration to "fast track" its passage.

It's not the John Oliver video I was hoping to find but will have to do for now, I decided to put Australia's video on top since it highlights things a bit better for those looking to quickly understand what the TPP is.


Hopefully... You now have an inkling on what the TPP is, and realize how bad it is for ALL of us.

    It's already been ratified and is still secret, this will spell major problems for us little people very soon...

    The scariest part of this whole agreement is the high level of secrecy around the contents of the agreement. In the absence of facts, all kinds of wild speculation will fill the vacuum...

    But any fan of "New World Order" conspiracy theories will no doubt find the TPP a fascinating topic...

    TPP has been buried in light of all the "conspiracies" coming true and being played out in the world stage in our manipulated media at this time.

    It's pretty damn important as if you just put on the tin foil for a second, it almost feels like everything is a diversion.

    Some heavy reading for the war-mongering :expressionless:

    Corporations want more power the greedy bastards! ...and the way things are going It has a very high chance of passing without opposition. This is setting a very dangerous precedent, very few are paying attention to this one and you should. This is on the very stupid levels of SOPA/PIPA which saw a high volume of opposition on every level! With enough public outcry we can put a stop to this!

    We must! We cannot let this pass!

    I hope john oliver does a show on this, if he has not already.

    The entire thread has been rebooted with tons of new information and videos. Nobody is going to read the full 5000+ page TPP-Text that can be read here. So instead the videos above, and the video below will have to do to help you understand what the TPP is. Actually, nobody really understands the Trans-Pacific Partnership to it's full extent, and it's had a very high level of secrecy throughout the years.

    Why might you ask? Click and find out!

    (Especially if you download songs without buying them, games, movies, etc. *cough*) and much more. Totally did not pirate some early released episodes of Game of Thrones. Just tossing that out in the open....

    NO SERIOUSLY...CLICK AND FIND OUT NOW, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

    Here is a newer video which is now a recommended watch
