>>715799923 Nobody would have jumped on pirate if he kept his mouth shut. He painted a target on his own back then had the audacity to complain about being a target. Dude is a straight up retard and anyone who defends him should be thrown into the ocean.

>>715799923 How did he force Pirate to say hes actively against it and I quote 'I hope you get everything you asked for but nothing you wanted' ? thats a pretty impressive if Scott can manipulate people like that
im not a mald fan, but theres no way the initiative would have gotten 1.4 signatures if mald didnt act like a complete sperg. ross' video kicking this off wouldnt have had the pull if not for the drama
>>715799923 funny how simply replying to what pirate says automatically makes him the bad guy

Ross may have done this and has been earnest and honest.
but he has cut throat legions that won't hesitate to lie, attack and destroy behind him. When the powers of the legion was unleashed Ross was basically pushed aside and that's when the winning started.

>>715799923 You're right. That Ross faggot kept saying for almost an entire year that he would win without drama...then as the end approaches he has no choice but to turn to drama to motivate the Eurocucks.
>>715799923 Ross totally knew he was cooking drama. He went out of his way to say the initiative failing was his fault (SKG signatures dropping isn't evidence when it's normal for an initiative to lose momentum) and to portray him like an asshole (reaction segment). SKG would've failed without this because people love a villain but it was still underhanded.

>>715799687 What if we abandoned the veneer of satire and sarcasm and approached each other in sincerity? What if we actually said what we felt and believed instead of dismissing honest conversation?

Ffs shills, half this board at least stuck its dick into BATCH scripting, and that's all you need to have as experience to know you're spewing bullshit.
>>715804932 Why do you think they're so mad, anon? Every SKG thread for the last week has been a victory lap rubbing their noses in it. they're fucking fuming over it and can do nothing but throw an ever more embarrassing tantrum in response.

>>715806350 Sorta, Ross himself said when he started the thing that it probably won't work or change anything, in essence SKG is an attempt by him to change the industry for the better, or at least have government have a closer look at it because shit companies do there is ridiculous
>>715806548 It stopped being capitalism and started being monetary oligarchy when a few companies can create a monopoly that controls 80% of what you even look at every day
>>715805027 If believing this keeps you happy for the next 13 days, hey, more power to you. But you should probably start planning what your cope will be after that ;) >>715805886 Based. I'll never get tired of rubbing this on the noses of corpo shills.

>>715806650 case in point you don't even know what the word 'monopoly' means, modern gaming is no different than what the film industry has been like since the 1920s. actually no, there are far more publishers and game devs than there are Hollywood studios.
It's an entertainment product, not a life necessity. The funny thing is, getting this emotionally invested in what is functionally a toy is the pinnacle of bougie mentality.
I still watch it sometimes when going back over his library
He did such a job of concisely laying out the issue, his positions on the matter and addressing all the obvious objections, and yet so many people just fling their strawmans right past it

>>715804329 Middleware that does not confirm with legal requirements will not be used anymore. Those middleware companies then have the option to go out of business or comply with the law. You know when car companies said that having safety standards would kill them, because that's just not how making cars work? That was retarded too and didn't work.

>>715807286 Most people who want to explain to you why he is wrong didn't even manage to read the first sentence of the mission statement. Which you can immediately tell by them thinking this is something that's only about single player games or only about live service games or only about games that have the letter Y in them.

>>715808113 If you can't make a new product better than its predecessor, then there in no point in making a new product in the first place. Killing the better product to force people to buy the new one is straight up planned obsolescence.

What a stupid position anyway 'Oh but we HAVE to be allowed to install remote kill switches in our cars/lawn mowers/whatever other product you can imagine, how else can we FORCE people to buy our new ones?'
