Yeah that’s the one. It’s sad that people take what guys like this say at face value. He’s obviously got ulterior motives (own live service game in the works and/or paid by industry) to oppose regulation that would only benefit game enthusiasts.

For real. It’s not hard to understand at all and he’s clearly misunderstanding on purpose.

With DRM being so prevalent these days I’m worried we’ll just have decades worth of games we can’t play one day because publishers want us buying their new games and re-releases of old games.

I make a point of buying physical copies for console where possible and from GOG otherwise. Especially when I am likely to want to replay the game a few years later.

Apparently some gamer streamer with a much bigger platform put out a bunch of videos criticizing the initiative and intentionally misrepresenting their goals.

He also refused to talk to the guy behind the initiative to get clarifications whilst still putting out more videos dunking on it. Most likely the critic got paid by the industry to muddle the waters and turn people against their own interests (as per usual).

I wish people would boycott but most people don’t know or think about right to repair, game preservation etc.

Nintendo is selling record numbers of Switch2 and they can just keep phoning it in because they have proven that people are willing to pay a subscription to rent emulated copies of their childhood games whilst replacing drifting joy cons every month.

Doubt this will be the end of Nintendo even though I would be happy to see some consequences for companies that clearly hate their paying customers.
