Muta has so many videos on game preservation and he still can't give his full-hearted support to the initiative. "Muh nuance, muh vagueness, muh heart in the right place. Everyone involved in the discussion is right, I support game preservation".
Cool, thanks, Muta. Looking forward to the next video where you complain about companies not caring about preservation.

Cock balls and cum

To be fair, it looks more like a footstep, but also, it looks like there's a rooster inside of it (see attachment):

It appears that they're doing an interview with Ross, like right now:

The cynic in me suspects that muta knows thor is full of shit, but won't pursue due to the fact that thor is still somewhat popular and muta doesn't want to put in the effort.

 

[The Tall Man]

PatricianTV known for his long form Morrowind analysis did an interview with Accursed Farms about his effort for games preservation.

 

[Douglas Mortimer]

I was shocked when I loaded up YouTube today and saw he was talking to Pat and Sessions

Can't wait to listen to it tonight

Germany is the fourth country to successfully surpass the threshold.

 

[Fellen]

Three more countries need to pass the threshold. The closest countries are:

• Denmark (93.76%)
• Netherlands (91.99%)
• Ireland (63.34%)

Also 4k away from 300k total. Getting 100k signatures a week at this rate. Might actually see it succeed by Christmas.

Don't tempt fate, especially since Central Europeans are making the push, don't want to get bogged down in Belgium and France.

I support this initiative, but I don't have high hopes for it on the long run. The people who will decide on this in the end are not well informed on the issue to begin with and often resist gaining further information if it doesn't come from their assistants. There might be a small percentage of people calling the shots who understand what's even the point in this. Forcing Apple to change to USB-C was something everyone there had experience with. They all probably had tons of Nokia chargers and micro-USB cables in their drawers.
Then you add lobbyists to the mix and there are chances the whole thing gets neutered down to the point of being ineffective, or maybe it gets twisted to serve the opposite purpose via weasel words.

It works a little bit differently.
If the initiative reaches its goal, the people named as the organizers will meet with representatives of the EU to make their pitch. If the EU decides this is something worth pursuing, they will essentially build a working group consisting of the organizers, some EU lawyers, and industry lobbyists.

The representatives of the initiative will then try to invite people from GOG and CDPR who are pro-SKG to join as lobbyists, which would help them immensely.

A lot also rests on the organizers of the initiative being able to argue their case effectively.
They definitely have the technical know-how since there is a game developer and a network engineer among them.

If they can manage to explain the basics to the lawyers—who might not know much about video games—such as the issue of a product a customer paid for being remotely destroyed at any time by the developer or publisher, then that is an easy case for the lawyers to understand and work on in favor of SKG.

This, of course, assumes everything is handled above board.

300K reached. Cheers Gentlemen.

Considering how corrupt the EU is and how much lobbyists screw with the people with power, I've got no trust in this. I wish to be proven absolutely wrong with this.

You have to consider that EU bureaucrats love lining their pockets by fining big tech companies. They probably love the idea of getting some of that sweet gaming money while being seen as the protectors of the citizens.
