[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.

Wasn't he already rich, though? Once you're over, like, $10mm, you don't really need to work anymore.

And then when he took the money, I think he just squandered it on bullshit.

If someone handed me 2 billion dollars I'd probably be building trains and houses, or maybe something for the climate crisis. Not jerking off alone in a house full of candy. He's a shithead failure of a human, if that's all he's done.

As a millionaire i would definitely accept an offer to become a billionaire. When you already have enough for a carefree life, money becomes power instead and then you can exert your will on the world. I can definitely see how that is really tantalizing, especially nowadays where virtually everyone has an unspecified feeling of being powerless against the system.
