Saw people talking in comments at several places now, expressing animosity towards them to say the least, always presented as something that everyone seems to know about.

Thankyou for giving a perfect example as to why we hate pirate software. Because of his bullshit, this is what you think the Stop Killing Games movement is about.

Maybe try to not get your opinions on such things from narcissistic youtubers.

    It skirts around the issue in its wording, but the proposal in actual real life practice is, indeed, effectively demanding this.

    The proposal doesn't actually supply any specific solutions to the problem, it's just stomping its feet and throwing a tantrum about the problem, but literally doesn't actually give a real solution.

    "Waaah, I don't like it when they do x"

    "Okay well, what alternative do you propose?"

    "I dunno, I just don't want them to do that cuz I don't like it"

    Sorry mate but you have to actually genuinely be able to describe a practical solution to the problem if you wanna make any headway. Otherwise it's just gonna get tossed out as pointless.

    Or...

    If you indeed try and push something like this through, game devs will just go "okay fuck it, you don't get anything at all then because you demanded something functionally impossible from us, byeeeee" and congrats now you killed your local game dev industry, good job :)
