[EU] Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.

You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.

Here’s to pirate software forcing the internet to be contrarian for the good of gaming!

What if all this drama is just 4D chess and PS is secretly supportive of it?

Apparently the joke absolutely flew over everyone's head

No.

PS made the videos shitting on SKG over ten months ago. And has been perfectly happy not to lift a finger as the gain in signatures slowed to a crawl. Sitting pretty as his fucking hitpieces remained the first search result for SKG for over half a year.

The recent burst in attention only came because Ross finally decided to respond by calling PS out on his bullshit. He tried to be nice about it by responding in the comments of PS's videos back when he first made them, but the ass literally deleted his retorts.

I can see that very clearly

I laughed (but I was helped by the edit)

Holy crap, you're right. This is a Light Yagami level plan, if not better!

If he doesn't triple down on his shit take, it's pretty much guaranteed that he's going to try and take credit for SKG succeeding. People like him can never be wrong and will twist reality and facts to that end.

Edit: And he did. https://x.com/PirateSoftware/status/1940956598178140440

Could you just forget about this guy already? What he did is more than undone by now and bringing him up is just useless drama.
