WA Bans Gaming PC’s

Washington is among half a dozen states that are banning high-end, pre-built gaming personal computers. Niche Gamer reports Washington is joining California, Vermont, Hawaii, Colorado and Oregon in banning the products because of the large amount of electricity they use. This follows a study published in 2019 that shows computer gaming consumed four-point-one terawatt hours in 2016, which cost about 700-million dollars in energy bills. Gaming consoles are exempt from the law.
