It can't. It runs afoul of the most basic powers of the Federal Fucking Government, which is exactly the point. Abbott and his merry band of cockgargling cuntflaps are setting this up so they can send it to the Supreme Court in an attempt to get the fucking Commerce Clause overturned because that's the level of fascism we're at here in Texas.

You've very obviously never play LITERALLY ANY FUCKING GAME that has existed in the past ten years then.
The "issue" they're trying to bring up is concentration of teams in one geographic region. This argument falls apart when you realize the Islanders, Rangers, and Devils basically play in the same NFL stadium and nobody seems to care. It's just CA and FL people complain about.
The game needs to expand into new markets but contracting in large markets is not the way to do it.
Why Florida? I don't know, maybe because the Lightning consistently have some of the highest attendance in the fucking league? If you're going to ask "What about the Panthers?" I'll retort "What about the Senators?"
Why Arizona? Stupid question to ask when a team in Las Vegas just won the Cup. The real question is "Why Arizona STILL?"
Not defending Bettman in any way, because I can't believe he still has his job with how shit he is at TV deals (if you think he's bad though, check out what it takes to watch the NFL).
It's hard to argue against the number of teams in CA and FL when they more often than not have better attendance than most of the Canadian teams. People are showing up, even in oddball markets like Nashville. Seattle and Las Vegas have already seen postseason play, with one winning the Cup, and their attendance is solid so expansion is obviously a good thing...
...all of which I mention to make the absolute shitshow of the Coyotes look even fucking worse. The team should have folded a decade ago.
THEY PLAY IN A COLLEGE HOCKEY ARENA.
Absolute amateur hour. This isn't like an NFL team playing in a D1 college stadium. That's happened before, but in that case those stadiums are just as large with nearly the same class of facilities. For it to be a comparable reduction in seats an NFL team would have to be playing at a frickin' Texas high school field.
Arizona barely gives a shit about hockey. Want to open things up? Move 'em to El Paso, which I think it still the largest metro area without a big four pro sports team. You can even keep the name. Or move them to Portland. Milwaukee? Fuckin' SLC? ANYWHERE?
For Phoenix alone Bettman should have been gone years ago.
You know what else isn't there yet? Unity, Unreal, Source, CryEngine... literally every commercial game engine requires development if you're actually looking to push hardware limits. They're just toolboxes.
Godot is no different, except that developers are going to be much more likely to release their changes publicly.
Literally nothing. They have not created multiple games that dozens of companies have tried and failed to replicate.
