• 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?

      He’s opposed to it. He speaks with a very clam, professional voice, so people like to believe him. I get skeeved out by it personally. Honestly, we shouldn’t be taking advice from former Blizzard dev anyway. Nothing that comes from that company has ever been respectful to players or even human decency.

          Judging from the “quality” output from the company, he was just a yesman telling his bosses what they wanted to hear.

        I would like to thank you because, I immediately fell in love with the website you recommended.

        It’s mainly because they use RSS.

      Sorry, I went to sleep not long after I made that comment. I see I was beaten to it but, he was just so dramatically crass and rude when introduced to the movement, and said mean shit about Ross, the guy behind the movement, calling him gross, a greasy used car salesman, saying “he can eat my whole ass”. And after all of that, he refused to speak to Ross and continued to make 2 entire youtube videos, and some livestreams about shit talking the movement, fuck that snotty little prick.

          He wasn’t a game dev apparently. He worked in security, and there are rumors saying he actually was a WoW moderator.

            I wouldn’t be surprised, his game HeartBound (I think) was literally a low-effort DeltaRune/UnderTale clone & it’s still in development.

        Calling one of the most polite, succinct and eager to explain themselves YouTubers a greasy used car salesman is just an automatic red flag, just unbelievably skeevy behavior from him.
