I'm late to this one because I specifically wanted to avoid the ~internet drama~ surrounding it, but I asked 20 game devs what they thought about Stop Killing Games. Some of these answers were genuinely fascinating - huge thanks to all the devs who helped out!

NÁZOR 💬 Keď si kúpite knihu, nečakáte, že jej autor v nejakom momente príde k vám domov a vezme vám ju. Nemalo by sa to stávať ani pri hrách, píše Ross Scott, zakladateľ hnutia Stop Killing Games.

Keď si niečo kúpite, je to vaše. Prečo to neplatí pri videohrách? - euractiv.sk

Erasmus Magnus @erasmusmagnus.newgrounds.com · Aug 6

The @stopkillinggames.bsky.social campaign has come to a close. And so, I've written subtitles for the end of Stop Killing Games. Both of them. In fact, I've written subtitles on nearly every SKG video! If you appreciate what I've done, even a $1 tip means a lot:
ko-fi.com/erasmusmagnu...

Ross W. Scott says, "thanks to everyone who's assisted with the Stop Killing Games campaign"

On the Accursed Farms forum for English subtitles, which is for "all subtitle submissions, questions, and comments for the English language," the last seven out of eight videos on Stop Killing Games have had subtitles submitted by me, Erasmus Magnus (aka Erasmus Roterodamnsus)

Ross W. Scott looks worn out as he says, "This is what I'm looking like almost all the time now"
