    The difference is that 30 Rock is not doing it to be mean spirited.

      What u attempt to accomplish? Maintaining games also takes time and effort and server costs and they likely kill them to save costs.

      There is no way this petition is gonna do anything

        He has literally said that the MS Paint doodles aren’t meant to be super descriptive or helpful. He started doing it in his meetings at Blizzard, because he found that any visual aid was good at keeping executives’ attention. Whenever he had to do a presentation, he’d use MS Paint every few minutes to keep them focused.

        And now he does the same with his viewers. He busts out MS Paint every few minutes, just to refocus the viewers and keep them engaged. It’s not to help with whatever he’s describing; it’s just to keep the viewers engaged, so he keeps making money off of them.

        To his credit, at least he admits this. It’s not like he’s hiding his strategy. He just does whatever will push him to the top of the algorithms and keep viewers engaged.

        I'm sick of that excuse. The whole I'm dumb or I don't know or it's for the algorithm excuses people make to try and deflect criticism. Guess I've just seen to many people of prominence use that excuse one to many times over the years.

              When games put DRM in them that requires a server

              And I buy that game

              And then they take away that server

              I want my money back

              Or for them to patch the game so it works

              It’s not fucking hard to figure out

                It’s playing the game by the rules as written. If the Game Master is upset at a player for using their own rules against them, that’s the GM’s fault. I can’t begrudge a guy manipulating a mega corporation (in this case, manipulating Google/YouTube’s algorithms) for profit. He needs viewer retention to stay at the top of the algorithm, so that’s what he’s doing.

                  then don't make single player games (or sections of games) require a server.

                    In Ross' video, IIRC, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.

                      Absolute fucking clown. He's just scared of open sourcing old games because everyone will see how shitty his code is...

                      I mean, he's said before that shitty code doesn't make for a good or bad game. He gave examples of lots of successful games that have "bad" code and that it doesn't matter and people should just make games.

                          I've just heard so many of the same excuses for even scummier people over the years of always shifting the blame to justify whatever is necessary to get the bag. The excuses seem ever less convincing.

                            At best we get fresh new EULA's to click through on our way to play our game.

                            I've signed a lot of petitions over the years, and I'd sign this one too, but it's pretty naive to think this will actually do anything useful.

                              I watch this dude sometimes, he says he's a fulltime game dev but all I see him do is play other games. The game he works on has seen very little progress.

                              Would be nice if he at least admits he's a streamer and not a game dev.

                                For those who don't know, this streamer is only tangentially related to the stop killing games petition because he made a comment about it being BS because he misinterpreted what it was supposed to do. He used his misinterpretation to spread false information about this petition leading to it not getting the support it initially should have.

                                When the guy behind the petition made a statement saying he didn't think the petition was going to get enough signatures in part because of the misinformation being spread about it, PirateSoftware doubled down on his false claims and all of this lead to people doing the research they should have done in the first place and deciding to support the petition after all.

                                What we should probably be learning from this is that we should do our own research, and find out things instead of taking the word of random people online.

                                Edit: electric has brought to my attention that it wasn't just one clip, but in fact a whole video dedicated to spreading misinformation that was made by Thor from PirateSoftware. Just wanted to be clear about that.

                                  Its okay to stop running the servers. All gamers want is to have the stuff it takes to continue to enjoy the game after the companies are done.

                                    I've also noticed this from watching his stream and the more I learn about the guy the less I like him. He seems to misrepresent and oversell himself quite a bit.

                                    Btw did he tell you about the time he worked at Blizzard, for the millionth time?

                                        Not sure if it's still the case, but the code of balatro was a single giant file with if cases for every card

                                        Bad code can make great games. But it will also make them very hard to maintain
