The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]
The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]
- The EU Citizens petition to stop killing games is not looking good. It's shy of halfway where it needs to be, on a very high threshold, and it's over in a month and change.
- paraphrasing a little more than a half hour of the video: "Man, fuck Thor/Pirate Software for either lying or misunderstanding and signal boosting his incorrect interpretation of the campaign."
- The past year has been quite draining on Ross, so he's done campaigning after next month.
- It will still take a few years for the dust to clear at various consumer protection bureaus in 5 different countries, and the UK's seems to be run by old men who don't understand what's going on.
- At least The Crew 2 and Motorfest will get offline modes as a consolation prize?
You're viewing a single thread.
PirateSoftware is an enormous cunt.
And he makes no effort to hide it.
I genuinely don't understand why he has such a rabid fanbase.
Youtube shorts.
Imagine you're a gamer, one who is interested in game Design. Your view history has games, gaming, game design, but it's also full of algotrash talking heads, scam baiters, shit slingers. You open the YouTube app on your phone, and it immediately opens to shorts, you don't remember settings that as the default but it's fine, you recognize the creator and the 45 second clip was neat. Swipe up. Next video, it Nile Blue dropping a beaker of chloroauric acid. Next video, its Chris Boden yelling about some kind of electrical infrastructure you don't understand (and that's pretty cool). Next video, Thor, speaking softly, explaining an aspect of game design that you never thought of. This one catches your attention, its in your wheelhouse, its something you're genuinely interested in. You click the profile, swipe through a few more shorts. Your algorithm is permanently damaged. Your a pirate software fan now, whether you like it or not.
Or you can use freetube and never see algotrash talking heads in your feed and never enter into this cycle.
Hey don't talk shit about Chris he's a fun dude who shares his passion and cool knowledge and that's pretty cool.
Never talked shit about about Chris, love the guy, but its absolutely true that he partakes in the same clickbaity tendencies that lead us to this problem in the first place.
and he acts like a 12 year old hopped up on meth and red bull.
I really fucking hate that, too. The algorithm is so fucking vile and evil.
I cant even watch the content i want to watch on youtube, like fishing and guns (with the exception of forgotten weapons and InRange, which the algorithm doesnt seem to view as gateways to right wing indoctrination (cause they arent) and seem to be safe.. at least for now.), because if I so much as hover my mouse over one of the thumbnails of that kind of content, I immediately get blasted with 3 months of right wing extremist pseudo-intellectual diarrhea that I cant escape without completely resetting my browser.
but if I spend an evening watching retrogaming stuff? Oh fuck, Youtube just completely ignores that and pretends it never saw me show interest in that.
I've seen him described elsewhere as "a poor man's idea of a rich man" and I think it's accurate.
With that said, I don't think it's his fault the petition failed, people just don't care usually.
edit: To give more context, Pirategames literally does not know what the Stop Killing Games movement is about, he thinks it's only about single-player games being always-online (yes that's a component of it but not the whole thing) and converting multiplayer games to be offline-playable single-player games but it does NOT mention that anywhere because it is NOT about that. However, I guarantee you that Pirategames will not admit that he was mistaken about his understanding of the Stop Killing Games movement, he will instead double and triple down and insist that he had the correct understanding of it. lol
i don't watch him but i hope this isn't about what he did in wow because the sheer fact that anyone even gives a shit seems wild to me. but hey i hate MMOs so maybe that's why.
is there other reasons people don't/shouldn't like him or is it just vibes
edit: nvm got an answer on another content
It's not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it's because he's unable to say "I'm sorry, I could have done better" without including any buts or "the others also messed up". It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.
on that part sorry i still don't care. it's a child's game; there's nothing to apologize for. but his comments on stop killing games and accused farms are bad.
big mistake bud, you just made the list
