  And how many people will actually see it? when he releases a video, i get it on my feed. but i have never seen a text post from any of the creators i’ve subscribed to.

  A petition I don’t think will do much.

  This isn’t just any regular change.org petition, that can be ignored. It’s an official partition based on EU rules, where EU parliament is forced by law to listen to the initiators and talk about the topic, when it passes.

  That may be true, but that wasn’t the point he tried to make. The problem is that netflix used to have everything at a good monthly price and once they dominated the market, enshittification and price hike started, plus all the other companies wanted in on the action, starting their own service.

  Now MS is trying to do the same to the PC gaming market.

  Not sure if this is true, but i’ve been told, when you flush food down the drain or toilet, rats living in the sewer might come looking where that delicious meal came from.

  Also many young people are so used to games requiring online connection and being shut down, that they can’t imagine a better way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG’s new preservation program intends to keep classic games playable ‘forever’⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as you keep a pc with the specs and OS of the time the game was released. GOG is also making an effort to patch these games to make them run on current hard- and software without the hassle of finding and downloading fan patches, running emulators/virtual machines and all the other hoops one might have to jump through to get an old game running.

  Of course you could theoretically pirate the gog version after they made it run, but given that these games usually cost about 5-10 bucks and some go as low as 1-2 when on sale, i think that’s worth it to support these efforts.
