I definitely agree that this is interesting, this was a great read!

Older games are better plus gamers can play all our existing games.

Give me a call when they’re in the bargain bin years from now.

If they’re still functional, thankfully there’s the Stop Killing Games movement.

I’m just worried some of them are botted, especially now that we’re less than 100k away from 1m.

5 minutes later and it’s 843k, almost 1k signatures per minute, not bad at all!

I don’t think you’re wrong, and I think the EU petition will go the same way, but it’s still worth signing regardless.

How is that better? If you configure your firewall rules incorrectly, this protects you against that. This ensures you have no connection if your VPN isn’t on/isn’t working.

I mean he already addressed that in his video to be fair lol

Always make sure that QBT uses your VPN’s network interface. I got some DMCA emails despite split-tunneling a VPN recently, and I realized it was bound to all interfaces by default - that’s no good.

How so? They work fine on me between laptop and desktop, phone and desktop, etc.

It really isn’t. You don’t even need to port forward, you can use AnyDesk or TeamViewer or any other option entirely for free. There are also open-source options too.

Where are they going? There’s no way it’s Linux, right? So I guess it’s Mac?

Well yeah, they have to hoard your advertising data somehow. How else can they advertise things that you don’t need to buy?

Devs geting screwed over by management (not even just game devs but all devs) is a tale older than time, sadly.

You’re right, I’m an abuse enabler because I made an observation about companies being shitty. Very well said.

Saying “You’re not alone” is supposed to be a wholesome thing to show someone that you care. Instead, it’s AI companies squeezing as much data out of customers and injecting as much AI into everything they can.

Society really took a wrong turn didn’t it?

Just unfortunate timing I would think lol

Great minds think alike I guess.

Is he wrong though?

I think that’s something they have, yeah. It’s kind of unheard of to me. I can only imagine public servants like librarians or library assistants getting stalked, harassed, etc because their info is publicly available for anyone to access.

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
