If the SOPA act passes, i bet all my games that there will be alot of riots

Unless the government plays Minecraft/likes Notch. This is hardly going to make them rethink.

Small changes lead to bigger ones. If you read the article, other companies are also protesting, not just Mojang. I'm sure there's plenty of people who play Mojang games who are still unaware or just don't care about SOPA, and temporarily shutting down Mojang will let them become aware of SOPA. I think Reddit did the same, too. Its protest caused enough outcry that US Congressman Paul Ryan, a hardcore Republican by the way, even changed his stance on SOPA from supporting it to now denouncing it publicly. One company, then another one, then more will follow. Everyone is passionate about his favorite website, favorite game, etc. If SOPA is causing all these things to shutdown, then who do you think the public is going to turn against?

In that sense, I agree.

I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.

This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
