    I think you got wooshed here

    The guy in the picture is PirateSoftware, accused of sabotaging the Stop Killing Games initiative in the EU.

    This post is part of a coordinated harassment campaign by big angy gamers because bad nerd man say companies won’t listen to their little lib demands to the EU

    So instead of regrouping their efforts (which, I might add, they did, and they got their day in parliament) they (started off by) basically trashing this dude until he lost a large portion of his community. Because like they didn’t like how he defended his position. About video games. And now the fucking internet won’t shut up about it even though they got their way again through toxic bullying. And it annoys me. So I shitpost about it wherever I can because I hope it annoys them too.

    • There’s a lot of distorted facts here, but the weirdest one to me is “instead of regrouping their efforts (which, I might add, they did, and they got their day in parliament)”. The first half just contradicts itself (“instead of doing X, which they did, …”???) and the second half (“they got their day in parliament”) is verifiably, obviously false: The EU petition is still ongoing and collecting signatures. The deadline is July 31.

        At first, they did not regroup, they just started attacking this guy.

        Eventually, they did get their shit together and they HAVE REACHED enough signatures.

        So now that they are winning, why does PS matter at all anymore? Why has this annoyance turned into an online crusade that I have to constantly hear about? I do not give a shit about these gripes with this guy, and considering that he was ultimately irrelevant to SKG, I’m not sure why they care so much either
