The One Pinned Post:
I do preservation and emulation stuff with obscure retro Nintendo systems like Satellaview and 64DD, I sometimes datamine stuff from Switch games, and I have a thing with mischievous cute wizard-like characters and I ended up making one myself.

Nintendo 64 with Development 64DD with a blue development disk and using the SummerCart64 Flashcart.

I signed the EU petition because it was the first time ever that I was given some sort of power to actually at least do something that can at least try to change. It's not the most definite solution, but it's something that clearly annoys them so I'm just down doing it

That point I clearly understood, and I don't disagree with it as I said in my first post, but what other options do we have is my question, everything is literally getting worse, so I'm not really here to accept "oh actually this could really backfire hard we need to talk" without any solutions

TBH I don't necessarily expect the Stop Killing Games movement to be fully honest
Honestly I just signed it to annoy the big game industry. It is indeed for symbolism for me, because we just have zero negociation power. Most people just buy and accept the bullshit.

It's not a bad post by any means, but it's so long for something that I feel like I understood the point for 1/4th of the post, so then I skipped around, and then I saw the end and I felt insulted by its apparent naiveté, even if the writer isn't full of it

Stop Killing Games will become an endless nightmare if we don't wake up

A contentious campaign and an industry asleep at the wheel

In all fairness to the article, it does actually basically say the same thing I said as I just read again, but it still comes with some naive thoughts, questioning about the punishment towards the industry:

That's the point. No one likes this, but the other side isn't doing any hint of good faith.

Au delà de la news, les gens comprennent pas le bordel que ça nous fout vis à vis des prestataires, clients, la pub qui fuit déjà.

Too much time spent on why it is not a good idea, but not much time spent on how publishers are so much of a fucking brick wall that we just rely on whatever we can to actually push and force them to do the good thing

WHY IS THIS NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

I half read something that talks about how Stop Killing Games is a bad idea (for essentially because legislation is shit, which, tbh, yes, I agree), the technicality of why, which I can also agree

but it just ends with essentially "it would be good if publishers could do concessions" & it angers me
