Never talked shit about about Chris, love the guy, but its absolutely true that he partakes in the same clickbaity tendencies that lead us to this problem in the first place.

I've seen him described elsewhere as "a poor man's idea of a rich man" and I think it's accurate.

With that said, I don't think it's his fault the petition failed, people just don't care usually.

edit: To give more context, Pirategames literally does not know what the Stop Killing Games movement is about, he thinks it's only about single-player games being always-online (yes that's a component of it but not the whole thing) and converting multiplayer games to be offline-playable single-player games but it does NOT mention that anywhere because it is NOT about that. However, I guarantee you that Pirategames will not admit that he was mistaken about his understanding of the Stop Killing Games movement, he will instead double and triple down and insist that he had the correct understanding of it. lol

Toxic behavior. Silence people for their opinions

With videos, yes, but not with shorts. It’s like TikTok where you swipe, but you have like and dislike buttons as well. I dislike all AI slob, Nile, nearly all of that shitty promoted stuff, but still get these.

Same with Spotify, my weekly mix rarely contains more than 1 song I actually listen to (metal, punk, hardstyle, hardcore) yet it gives me hardbass and this kind of genre where all you hear is distorted over-amplified bass every third of a second and that’s it… I dislike like a tinderella

middle name, sorry

Yup, I don’t watch his content, but looking at his actual viewership numbers, he doesn’t even remotely have the impact to make or break a petition by himself.

He wasn't a game dev apparently. He worked in security, and there are rumors saying he actually was a WoW moderator.

They hide it, but they do have RSS Feeds for each channel. I follow all the channels that interest me via my feed reader and only interact with the site to watch the videos. I never click any links to anywhere and am not logged in.

He's a capital G gamer through and through. He cares more about games than literally anything else.

Come on now dudes a dick but it's perfectly normal to go by your middle name.

It's not because he did anything wrong in wow that people are upset/memeing about, it's because he's unable to say "I'm sorry, I could have done better" without including any buts or "the others also messed up". It has just exposed him as an incredibly self obsessed person.

on that part sorry i still don't care. it's a child's game; there's nothing to apologize for. but his comments on stop killing games and accused farms are bad.

It's not about having a dumb opinion, it's about actually spreading false information. He lies consistently about what the movement is about and what the goals are.

The project doesn't clearly explain what its intentions are. The first time I saw the stop killing games initiative, I thought the exact same as him. Obviously it goes much further and it doesn't propose any law so europe and each country would be free to set their own limits, but from an external eye it flawed when these questions are not directly and transparently answered on the website

Ah, I see, your one of His. Once more, just lying. The project does clearly explain the goals and intentions if you have the ability to Read, or at least listen to Ross's multiple videos explaining them. He also explains Why he doesn't propose an exact law in his videos, and again in his most recent video.

Just stop lying and admit you are wrong.

big mistake bud, you just made the list

I wouldn't be surprised, his game HeartBound (I think) was literally a low-effort DeltaRune/UnderTale clone & it's still in development.

Reminds you of YandereDev doesn't it

Ah, I see, your one of His. Once more, just lying

If you can’t possibly imagine that people have their own opinions, you have serious problems. I can’t stand people like you that categorizes people into small boxes, effectively strawmanning them, as a mean to discredit your opponents. Classical manipulation technique. No, you don’t know me better than myself, thanks.

The project does clearly explain the goals and intentions if you have the ability to Read

That is just false. The blue image shared on Ross' videos should be on the website to better explain what they want.

or at least listen to Ross's multiple videos explaining them

In that case yes, but then my point was that it wasn’t clear, and having to search the channel of the creator of the initiative is something no one would do if they wrongly interpreted this from the start, as it was for my case. It was only after more coverage that I thought more about it.
