Thank you, Thor! 🥳

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
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?
-
Can't wait for him to see this and claim it was his plan the entire time
Only way to get around it..

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.
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

The difference is that 30 Rock is not doing it to be mean spirited.
I think the root comment is just memeing? But I see your point, it's not funny. (Or it shouldn't be.)
-

So that's why he worked at Blizzard for 7 years and keeps bringing it up.

What does "just memeing" mean here?

I hate having to hear his obnoxious voice because my sister watches him all the fuckin' time.

Sounds an awful lot like what YandereDev did when he was still relevant.
-
And if you know anything about what he's talking about, you quickly realize that in fact he does not know it all.
Can I be a big time Twitch celebrity too if I doodle a series of completely nondescriptive boxes and link them with little lines in MS Paint as I talk?

Definitely. Especially if you have large breasts.

The job he got through nepotism?

I remember seeing gameplay of Heartbound in like 2017? maybe earlier. it's still not finished?

Absolute fucking clown. He's just scared of open sourcing old games because everyone will see how shitty his code is...
But that's not even what Stop Killing Games is about...

A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn't watch it because my view of him was souring.
From what clips I've seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).
*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.

This is not just a random petition, it has legal force to compel the EU to officially hear the issue.

It might get the EU to make a law.

My condolences. I don't even dislike the voice, his attitude just makes him so punchable. You think he's some kind of expert at first but then it dawns on you that he's just confidently stupid.
