  Yes, but only in a legal environment where showing that this CEO made decisions for their own profit that would reasonably predictably lead to some number of deaths (10, 100, 1000?) would validate a defense of defense of others.

  Worth noting that this game was written as part of a game jam and was already amazing even just a few days into development. itch.io/jam/gdl---metal-monstrosity-jam/…/140169

  Requisite downvote, but also mention that the devs of Tin Can are about to start alpha testing of their multiplayer sequel named Space Chaos.

  It’s a Block Pushing Game is a sokobanlike from the creator of Baba Is You. It’s relatively short but has multiple novel mechanics. I enjoyed it enough to create a curses client for it.

  PS: If you like Baba Is You, Hempuli publishes multiple new games per month, mostly clever sokoban-likes, at hempuli.itch.io

  humble games is a game publisher, only connected to humble bundle through corporate ownership. most games in humble bundles aren’t published by humble games, and most games published by humble games don’t end up in humble bundles

  And then products without that label would gain at least a little a bit of market share. Most people still buy inefficient fridges because they are shinier, but at least a few read those yellow labels mandated by law and choose the more efficient ones.

  My proposal is for a mandated label on software and hardware to indicate that it will stop working when some online service goes offline.
