Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Stop Killing Games has a chance again
He's still on an absolute tear, it's going to be close

Copper armor should have a 90% increased chance of being hit by lightning
its only use is suicide bombing during rain

They're doing so good
They want to get the EU to regulate companies making online only games that die when they pull the servers
is the main thing
So if you are closing a game, you have to patch it to allow lan/self hosting and remove drm
is an example of one of the proposed fixes
at 1 million signatures, the EU is legally required to look into it
The things they want are straight benificial unless you are a gay furry who chose a username to ape searches for bypassing paying for things
If they get the signatures, they will get this, EU likes these kind of regulations a lot
and the proposed rule would be that you are unable to sell digital products in the EU, that do not have an end-of-life plan that leaves them functional (good faith definition)
which is really reasonable!
"hey when you shut down, release your server binaries, and if people want to they can fuck around with them"
They don't have to patch anything or release source code, nothing extreme, just a "hey you can't sell people something and then render it non-functional"
this tracker site is cool
what turned it around unirronically, was him dropping that video calling PirateSoftware a faggot
he had given up, and released the video with the context of
"well, I don't have to be professional or diplomatic anymore, I can just shit on this faggot for ruining a good thing"
uh, tldr he's a faggot
both literally and literally
idk, he's just a complete and utter contemptable person, who made it his personal mission to fuck with this so as to feel smug about being important
Explaining pirate software in a funnier way, he is the reason tobyfox yelled at matpat on twitter
he's been "making" a undertale clone for the last 8 years, which is way he was so against the stopkilling games thing because he has drm on it which he famously declared genius by using valves achievement system to do it
did you see the leaked email Polu
the full one, not the one that MS "leaked" themselves
"xbox is only where it is today because we let people go"
Phil is a shitposter at heart lol
ZeniMax is the largest cut so far, they're down 650
Rare lost a couple 100
the waiting until the end of the workday part
is so funny to me
"everyone keep an eye on your email for a surprise before you leave for the day!"
since studios aren't announcing it until the end of *their* workday, i.e seperete for Europe, EST, and PST etc., there will be more and more waves of news breaking
I wonder what the biggest cancelation will be, the Zenimax MMO is big but I could imagine there being more big ones once the US studios start firing tonight
it's ~10,000 firings total

it's more amazing just how bad they are at publishing games
