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?

I'm quite lost (disinterested) on MCU stuff as of late, what's going on about Thor? Is there a game?

Ah you know, not the outcome I hoped for but it's exactly what I expected from humans.

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.”

I agreed with Ross previously that Thor taking a really dumb fuck position helped get more attention on the issue that was, IMO, as hopeless as trying to get the masses to care about or understand Net Neutrality. That was what I saw repeated and upvoted at the time even before Thor revealed himself to be a gigantic narcissistic nepo baby bullshitter more recently.

If you watched the vid OP, what changed his opinion? I'll check it out once I'm home from work regardless.

I am not following Thor very much, what did he do recently?

yeah my opinion on piratesoftware was really cemented by his inability to do a charitable reading of the petition.

[–] [email protected] 96 points 4 days ago

It really was a good ole' internet argument where he was just obnoxiously wrong in his interpretation and remained just as confidently incorrect the entire time.
