Louis shit the bed here a bit. I get what he's saying but the "software industry" still hasn't presented a good argument because they're the ones that created this issue in the first place. It's no different from a printer that stops working because they store some part of the software online and can remotely disable it, and no software architect (read: codemonkey) is going to be able to explain that away. There's no way he would even consider they might have a point there. He probably also doesn't realize Ross is living in a third world shithole entirely off canned beans and stale tortillas. If he's going to give Ross the life coach treatment on taking money from the audience, he should focus more on how asking for a few dollars isn't morally much worse than asking for their time.

I'm more concerned Louis is going to pick a massive dishonest shill who runs circles around him with technobabble with no actual defenses. Oh, the magnetometer in the game disk might explode? That sounds scary!

don't forget the sega dreamcast potentiometer (pots)

Relentlessly mocking smug people who do the whole dunning-kruger professional retard bit needs to be normalized. I remember people outside of Kiwifarms being so much softer on Mald when he originally did his SKG stream. That was a mistake.

 

[Rockzo]

Other Frost put out a vid.

Bellular News chips in:

He was too soft on mald but found to be a good video

-I like Adobe Creative Cloud, no i don't know what Photoshop CS5 is I don't miss it.

God if this happened to the general software industry it would be an absolute disaster

Hopium like that? FOR FREE?

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Fantastic you magnificent bastards and bitches.

Even if many are fake bot shit, we are looking good.

 

[SFINAE]

And that's a wrap. Very nearly 140k signatures today.

We even have Gatcha tubers talking about this for the Weebs now.

Late reply but I'm not surprised gachafags are onboard too. It's slowly becoming more common for gachas to release offline versions, like Animal Crossing PC, Grimlight, Alchemy Stars, Brown Dust 1 (a pretty wide range of big/popular to small/failed games) and Dragalia Lost is a good example of a game that ended 3 years ago but is still played on private servers today. Even though nobody plays these games expecting to have their pngs forever, every time something announces EoS the companies get flooded with requests for offline or gallery mode.

What I'm getting at is that Maldy has less self-respect as a consumer than gachafags, and thinks game companies should be even more predatory and IP-jealous than Nintendo's gacha branch.

 

[Frightened Rabbit]

We almost got to 140k in a day, we were deprived of it by 32 votes.

 

[VietMan]

I'm having archival issues so I'm just gonna link the tweet here.

Done.

 

[SFINAE]

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE

 

[thx1138]

I hope people don't take their foot off the gas, that the momentum keeps going and going over the incoming weeks before the deadline. I'd love to see this hit 4 or 5 million.

Also I'm not sure if it got posted here but one of the Helldivers2 devs lit into Mald and tore him a new one, it was glorious.

Louis's video is 100% Sisyphean and 100% correct. You can't lament being in a position to enact change. You can't forego personal profit in your endeavors. If you do something great you have an actual need to finance yourself so you can keep doing it. It's suicidal not to. When you're 30+ you don't get to shuffle your obligations in life to make room for video games. You fight for these things so the youth has an opportunity to enjoy the things you did that are deteriorating and disappearing. It kills me knowing that kids experience such a gay, retarded, walled garden Internet.

Even if there is botting, the votes are rolling in at an extreme pace. If the botted votes are 1379 per hour, that's around 33 000 botted votes a day.
Admittedly this number is pulled entirely out of my ass (absolutely insane behaviour dude), but that still makes the margin of error much smaller than we might have suspected. Around 10%, accounting for today and yesterday, and assuming the potential botting will continue. This means that, should the votes keep rolling in, we still have a good chance of making it.
Welcome to the finding out timeline.

What was it I said before? Oh right, NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!

I thought it was Pilestedt who did, but surprisingly not.
Who was it?

If Pilestedt tore into Mald I think he'd have a stroke on stream lol. It was this guy:

 

[Squawking Macaw]

Someone on the StopKillingGames Subreddit pointed out potential botting on the EU petition.

That's a concerning amount of bots. At that rate we might need to overshoot substantially to make sure we hit 1 mil, we can't rest at the finish line.
Hopefully the EU doesn't decide to throw the whole thing out because of some botniggers.

 

[Inspector Rex]

Eeeeh, idk, Ross isn't even a EU citizen. I get why he doesn't want to lead a full-fledged political campaign with funds and stuff.
