  • 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?

Don't give up hope just yet! Last month a ban on conversion practices got nearly 1 million signatures in the last week!

From an email I received from the ECI recently:

In a stunning final push, the initiative for a ‘Ban on Conversion Practices in the EU’ gathered nearly one million signatures in its final week - closing with over 1.24 million in total on 17 May.

it's not hard to imagine why a ban on conversion therapy is gaining signatures while a ban on killing live service games is not. Stop Killing Games is noble, but ultimately amounts to media preservation. Meanwhile, conversion therapy is literal torture of vulnerable children. Only hardcore gamers really understand the Stop Killing Games initiative, while most sane people will quickly sign anything that improves the lives of children.

Yeah fair, its just sad that we seem to be giving up with over a month left when this has been in the top 3 most popular initiatives this year.

Hopefully this video and the non-english sponsors he has been working on get more people talking again and hopefully talking in different languages to capture the people who have missed this because of a language barrier.

Next campaign:

"Save the games, save the CHILDREN!"

  • Let your children have a better childhood
  • Play your favorite childhood games with them
  • Don't let publishers decide what's best for your children
  • Make sure your children can play the games with their children
  • Childhood is the time to play, think of the children!

...wonder how successful that would be.

Here's hoping there's a final push for SKG, then!
