    But how can I be expected to sign the SKG petition, while people in West Sahara live under Morocco’s unjust occupation?

    Tap for spoiler

      SKG is privileged western bullshit. It is a way to distract from real issues while feeling like you had an impact on something.

      I just happen to have the foresight to know that 20 years from now it will sound stupid to brag that I helped change some obscure game development process for a tiny bit more convenience.

      This is all absurd and a waste of time, but whatever makes people feel useful I guess.

        Oh no! All the real issues would hang been solved if only I hadn’t taken 5 whole minutes to sign a petition for SKG!

        What is wrong with that? It’s not like actual democracies are a thing. The elites somewhat allow us to decide on “Western bullshit” topics such as killing games, gendered bathrooms, national dishes, and other issues that don’t affect their bottom lines. They don’t allow us to influence geopolitics. Sure you can yell about freeing Congo, and it should be… but ehh, if some people care about stop killing games then whatever. Anything positive is something - and I don’t even really play video games or care about this thing.
