Eh, I have issues with the wording of the initiative on register vs the ideology behind it. Some parts ARE too vague. The obvious intent of it is one thing. The specific wording to convey it is another. And its missing the mark, or a mark at all in some places.
But also don't agree with PirateSoftware and have issues with his approach about it.
I don't think the intent or ideal BEHIND the movement is bad. I support that ideal 100%. The concept and implied intention of the suggested law is a given. But 'givens' are not how laws work when the specifics of how and what are missing.
Reading the paper submitted to the register I could easily see it exploited by game companies, or misinterpreted by the 50+ year old non-gaming politicians that would be the ones rewriting it to ratify it into law, fucking over smaller game companies down the road with their games if it has any non local only parts that are 'quintessential' to the game itself, and not just becoming a local only husk of the games mechanics.

ITS AFRAID!! someone woke up and told a pr person to write something cause they got umcomfortable ... GOOD. FUCK EM ALL, they didnt release a single good game for years and can shove live service up their buttholes
What would be cool, ImmOOO, is if games were sold with this sort of stuff baked in. Eg: the offline mode is always available from day 1. It would demonstrate they A) have a plan and B) can't reneg later on when they go bankrupt and/or don't care anymore.
Not only that, but it becomes a logo / selling point / filter on Steam for games. That way it's easier for people to see which devs actually bother to take any of this seriously and ignore the shitty devs that don't.
We can help that if we stop sharing tea about him in videos giving it attention
To me, hes one dude, why is talking about his singular opinion on it important? it seems he gets more coverage than the thing it's about.
I didn't know who he was before all the post about him in here.

See. THAT should be in the 'WTF did I just watch" thread
An hour long video about a single person that people keep saying we should stop giving attention to.
Do we really need an HOUR to explain: StopKillingGames exists, some online personality was vocally against it.
I made it 17 minutes in, and it just got to the point about his personality...I myself dunno how this has anything to do with it.
Great guy or asshole, or faking great guy? He's against it outside that. Feels I just watched 17 minutes of framing a view on a person, to frame a conclusion on something different later in the loooong video.
A bit like setting up "And our next speaker on fluid dynamics is Bob. He is against the new plans for the bypass on the hydro dam., Keep in mind bob is rude to his kids, divorced, owes alimony and is not pleasant to have lunch with. Bob your up take the mic"
I guess every movement needs a villain. And 'gaming industry' was too impersonal and faceless. So run with a face you can single out of the masses.
He is a shithead, but why all the focus on what one guy thinks? Why not focus on an actual CEO or company accused of doing it, that is fighting it? the people that its about stopping? Not the opinion, on the opinion, of someone random online.
