    Even more pathetic to see that the petition is not a very good one but does “just enough” to solve a problem only to cause another one

      Did you watch pirategames shilling for the big studios? He doesn’t even propose solutions or start his own petition. He just complains about how it would impact poor old him in some theoretical scenario.

      Don’t fall for it. It’s like a poor person complaining about taxes for the rich because they might get rich someday (probably never). Rich people have to pay their fair share and gamedevs should stop making games that die when you unplug a server. They did before, they can do it again. They don’t want to because subscriptions make more steady money.

      Don’t be a shill.

        Its easy to call Thor a shill cause hes making a live service game but some of what he says is valid.

        Even ross himself considers games “art” so imagine if you painted a really nice piece and then someone takes it and adds a little modifications or straight up takes that same piece and begins to profit out of it.

        That is a detail that matters the most because no artist wants their work to “practically” be stolen

        Disappointingly ross never addressed that in his video where he “explains it all”
