"We got together with Ross Scott of Accursed Farms to discuss the Stop Killing Games initiative that he is presently spearheading. The Stop Killing Games initiative aims to preserve games in a reasonably playable state even after the game's publishers and/or developers abandon it, helping ensure consumers keep some level of what they have paid for rather than having all access revoked and the game destroyed."

    I remember bringing this up on r/games years ago

    In typical reddit fashion, it got downvoted into oblivion

    I remember seeing people get downvoted for it too and apologists were like "acktually you pay for and own the license to play the game, not the game itself"

  • So many bad actors on reddit, I blame my own naivete for not realizing that so many accounts are being run by employees of major companies sent to defend the company's interests.

    It took me way too long to realize that the mods for game's subreddit that I play way too much are actually the devs for the game

    They were always extremely critical of any suggestions for improving the game that were actually genuinely good constructive suggestions

    I thought they were just being a-holes, turns out they weren't just a-holes

    So funny to see people complain about SKG popping up everywhere, "oh, that thing about consumers rights and videogames. Don't really care I wanna see cat memes." Just a simple scroll and it's out of site, but instead they complain people want better rights? Boggles my mind.
