I'm pretty disappointed that Stephanie/Jim Sterling hasn't even covered "Stop Killing Games," which I would expect her to if she stood for anything she said she does. It's a petition with 1.4 million signatures that would preserve video games and their art. It looks like it will be successful, and the Ubisoft CEO is fighting it, and yet, she has pretended it doesn't even exist.
Today I started a thread on her sub to ask if she really didn't support it, in case I missed a video, and they deleted it within an hour. For a video game critic, her sub really can't handle any criticism. She is like a god there.

I don't like toxic cults of positivity and I'll nearly definitely stop watching her channel shortly. She has had a year to cover the petition like any of the good guys or indie developers on Youtube, and there is a petition in her own country (the UK). Her community generally looks spiteful though, and are unconcerned with fixing laws or activism.
Her videos are just rehashed and tired now. I learn a lot more by watching recent Ross Scott videos and hearing him complain as he faces firsthand problems with the video game lobbyists and lawyers who are trying to obstruct his petition from even reaching the EU parliament. He stands on the floor of the mosh pit, and her view is that of an out of touch 10,000 foot ivory tower, but she isn't curious enough to learn about what is happening.
She could have been a journalist and talked to any of the iniative's activists about it, tweeted support, or called on her audience to sign a petition that would change history. Her failure to use a tiny smidgen of her influence when it could make the world better, speaks more volumes about her real character to me than any number of rants she has ever made.
