Comment on Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone
sevon@lemmy.kde.social 2 days agoUntil last week I thought it was done, but somehow it flipped around. Things are looking pretty good, with massive youtubers and streamers taöking about it.
I’m glad the ball is rolling again. This can change gaming and set a precedent for other things as well.
It flipped around because the founder of the movement, Ross, of AccursedFarms on youtube… released a video giving a status report…
And spending a good deal of the video explaining how Thor, PirateSoftware on youtube… has basically been making up bullshit and spreading nonsense for about SKG for months now.
After that video… basically every single AngloSphere Gamer Youtuber has been putting out videos spreading the SKG messsge, and dogpiling on Thor for being a confused narcissist.
Yeah, I’m aware of the drama. I just didn’t expected this level of stonks to turn up.
Turns out people need villains with faces. And the gaming industry wasn’t personable enough to truly hate.
As a data analyst with an Econ Degree and specialization in Econometrics:
Data and graphs and tables and lists mean nothing to anyone other than nerds, people need a narrative.
As a person who also has a Poli Sci degree:
Uh, the same, but with much more evidence.
To be honest, neither did I… and I may have accidentally replied to the wrong comment, could have sworn someone was asking ‘why line go up fast’.
Oopsie!

Hopefully this will translate to all software. Next step: Stop killing hardware

OMG yes, open source all hardware drivers within say 1-5 years of a particular model getting retired?
Now there’s a dream, haha.

Publish schematics with every piece of hardware you make. Paradise for repair technicians and retro tech enthusiasts in a few decades.
