Also, “dot” with a hard T is like super common in programming naming. It’s a pretty reasonable mistake to make.

Ubuntu. Oo boon too? Oo bun too? ... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.

Exactly, _seems_ competent. But only seems, he's a narcissistic nepobaby who just can't admit he's in the wrong be it in video games or real life. I just can't understand why anyone would follow a piece of shit like him

"I see what he's worried about" they mumble around a mouthful of profit oriented testicles.

He pretended like this would force studios to publish sourcecode and that they have to give up on drm. I am not shure if he or someone else said this but someone also pretendet like new laws would somehow retroactivly apply to all games and now sstudios would have to give up server code that propably has thrid party software in it that they dont have the right license to just release it.( this is also a point i read alot from comments everywwhere and its stupid.) First, anny new law will take a ton of time untill it iss written then passed and then goes into effect. If this law passes studios will know way in advanced that upcoming releases in the eu would be under this new law and therefore can take this into account when builsing their infrastructure for online play/drm like in case of the crew. Also anyone who is active in piracy forums where devs work on stuffk ows that they dont need aourcecode to get it running. People will chow through assembly if they want to make a game work, some decompiled lego island over the course of a year to preserve it.

You mean "lets have people say whatever they want without any consequences or repercussions, no matter how wrong or hurtful they are"?

I don't like pirate software like any other guy, but I want to put credit where credit is due. He wasn't ranting about Godot being woke last year. He was actually actively defending it from all the bigots. One of the very few YouTubers or streamers, I saw. You have probably mistaken him with Asmongold. He has long hair too, and he is right wing nutjob pos.

> welcome to the internet Yeah, this is the sucky part about the modern internet. It used to be that the internet was a place for discussion and we've twisted it to a place to enforce conformity. I don't know anything about this guy, so maybe there's a more established pattern here, but ideally we don't jump down someone's throat when they do one or two unpopular things, but instead wait for a pattern to emerge before getting out the pitchforks. But everyone needs to be first, because the first one gets the eyeballs and there's not much downside to ruining someone's reputation unnecessarily. It's stupid and I hate it.

your takeaway from individual people being unhappy after everything that has come to light about an individual popular person is missing the actual situation/thing that is happening right in front of you? quite a bit more went on than "differing opinion" and even then people are luckily allowed to be upset about that since this is an influential person, welcome to the internet.

Can you or someone share those slides, becuase I'm not seeing that either. I looked at the English language initiative text on the website on my lunch break and did not see them.

I think I'm just tired of being handed a pitchfork whenever I browse YouTube or read about Stop Killing Games.

I don't understand why he's getting flamed so hard. I get that it's an unpopular take, but the reaction is way overboard. Why is the community like this?

Honestly I think Pirate Software was 90 percent in the wrong. He misunderstood the thrust of the Stop Killing Games movement and took his discourse too far. I think it's a little gross how much we've chosen to pile on as a community. In the real world we have in front of us some of the ideas put forth by Stop Killing Games will actually be hard for companies to implement. I don't feel bad for them nor do I support the murder of games. It's just not a simple prospect.

Unpopular take is a bit of an understatement. He called the entire movement shit and trashtalked it instead of just disagreeing. He also, after all the responses, doubled down and said he hopes "the movement gets want it wants, but not what it needs." It's also not really a one off situation from PirateSoftware This just served as a way for others to shed light on how scummy he is as a person in general.

Also without stating any actual concerns while fighting their gag reflexes.

These are kinda wild takes. The gaming industry for i die companies is wild and expansive in a way I dont remember 20 years ago. Was I just naive? Amd I naive now, and the guy who made a game on his own and uploaded it to steam was really just part of a large shell company? I mean youre comparing these to the multinational coorporations that are ruining our environment, and healthcare (in the US). I dont feel like theyre the same? Maybe there needs to be tweaks so that the extra burdens dont inhibit small companies, but do the big ones. Maybe thats already in it, but its hard for me to take it seriously when youre comparing customer's desire for a good product with a child working in a mine.

Is there some kind of summary I can read? I don't follow him and only read a couple articles about the situation and it didn't seem all that bad. But maybe it was.

Not in the slightest in this case. He very much did say that live and also still stands by what was said. The idea that you need someone to walk you though it to such a degree is odd and likely is because you are looking for a particular reality that you can agree with. Like I could understand if we were talking about some event that had opposing claims here, but in this case the man in question does not even deny that was what he said. And if you want "the context" more then what was on that clip, the live stream was just that he was made aware of the campaign and this is how he reacted.

My point was that this rage mill has produced a lot of extreme negativity and this post, among others, and the comment thread within, is propogating it. And, as far as I can tell, it is over, at best, Thor taking the possibilities of this petition as written to the extreme to illustrate his concerns for its vagueness. And even if he is dead wrong, completely mistaken, and now knows it and won't admit to it, that does not, in anyway, justify the position he is put in now. I'm not say that you personally support him being swatted, or getting death threats, but not letting this shit go after a year of bullshit, letting it fester and boosting the rage, that's what leads to that shit. Just let it go.

Oh no, not putting this into a conspiracy. Not at all saying Thor is part of a large shell company. The issue I am pointing to is how people (Thor included) defend and fight for those same multinational corporations. Hell even you by belittling one aspect of enshitification as lesser and not worth any attention is not doing any good. Remember that we can do more then one thing at a time.
