- The EU Citizens petition to stop killing games is not looking good. It’s shy of halfway where it needs to be, on a very high threshold, and it’s over in a month and change.
- paraphrasing a little more than a half hour of the video: “Man, fuck Thor/Pirate Software for either lying or misunderstanding and signal boosting his incorrect interpretation of the campaign.”
- The past year has been quite draining on Ross, so he’s done campaigning after next month.
- It will still take a few years for the dust to clear at various consumer protection bureaus in 5 different countries, and the UK’s seems to be run by old men who don’t understand what’s going on.
- At least The Crew 2 and Motorfest will get offline modes as a consolation prize?
This is a PR issue. For some bizarre reason they decided that game preservation should be independent of the right to repair movement a movement that had fairly significant momentum by the time they started talking about games preservation. So for some insane reason they separated the two concepts in people’s minds and that resulted in nobody caring.
Then they decided to whine about the fact that it was unsuccessful despite the fact that they’d essentially done everything they could to kneecap the movement.
What does game preservation have to do with right to repair? I support both, but if people don’t care about preserving games, latching it onto the right to repair movement is just going to drag it down for no reason.
Nothing, one was simply trendy and OP doesn’t know how movements work so they just lumped it together
