If you’re specifically talking about The Crew, you’re missing the point. If you’re getting flippant, and mean online games in general, God forbid people take an interest in the health of their hobbies.

I get the sentiment but there’s probably bigger things that we should be campaigning for than saving NFS: The Crew.

There can be multiple problems worth fighting for at once. Gaming is an escape for many from the harsh reality we all live in and I also just generally think art should be preserved as much as possible.

The campaign was designed to save all future games, The Crew was just a useful catalyst to launch from, since it was a very visible example of what they were fighting against.
But yes, saving games is pretty minor compared to stopping literal fascism. It’s just a shame that PirateSoftware fucked the campaign so hard, and stopped a big influencer from basically pressing the ‘win’ button by talking about it.

I don’t know. Fascism hates art and capitalism only sees value in it when it’s making them money/giving it power and capitalism and fascism are very closely related. Therefore it’s actually a part of stopping fascism, or at least stopping them from getting what they want entirely.
