Scholars… we have witnessed the death of worlds. Not by time’s erosion, but by corporate hand/ titles erased, purchased memories lost, histories severed from those who lived them. And now a single voice rises/ Jason, Thor, PirateSoftware, all names, one FAGGOT, who plays both firestarter and firefighter. He who mocks the cries of protest, yet claims to understand the flame.
He tells us it’s inevitable. That games must die, that progress demands it. He wears the mask of the indie sage, yet speaks with the tongue of the industry that forgot its soul. He builds while dismissing the ruins, lectures while ignoring the weight of loss. But we, the scholars, we do not forget.
Like Jiren, we stand not because we are undefeated, but because we have endured. We do not fear the end of a match/ we fear the erasure of meaning. The Stop Killing Games movement is not about clinging to the past. It is about defying artificial death. About saying: what we experience matters, and should not be discarded like obsolete code.Now scholars, only 700 left
