Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

Hijacking.

Are you European Union Citizen? Do you like games?

Do you want to own games again? and not just "License" them? Then please join the Stop destroying Videogames Initiative.

Initiative - https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en

(Only sign if you are a EU citizen!)

It's an initiative to get the European parliament to discuss the matter all together, and Iirc, it already has some members that support it. (So It's not just any ordinary petition that will go nowhere.)

We have already collected 42% of the 1 million signatures from European citizens required. But the deadline is June 2025 and if we don't get enough signatures by then, it won't be looked at by the European commission. So to at least get the matter to be discussed, please sign!

(ONLY FOR European Union citizens! No one else! Please do not sign if you aren't an EU citizen. Also No Brits! there's another initiative for the UK.)

Short video explainer about the initiative - https://youtu.be/mkMe9MxxZiI

You can also view the petitions for other countries - (Australia, Canada, UK, Brazil.. and more)

You can look at a turd from a different angle and it will look like a brownie.

A comfortable home or segregationist suburban dystopia?

Family vacations or inefficient car based infrastructure fucking up the planet?

Fun hobbies or mindless consumerism being sold to you as a hobby?

Living to a ripe old age or being relegated to for profit nursing homes to count your dying days?

Which seems more apparent?

No, please don't sign if you are American. That can harm the petition with false signatures.

This is strictly ONLY for European union citizens!

Don't worry, you can still help by spreading the message among your EU friends or family members(You don't have to be a gamer to care about this or vote in this!). A lot of the exposure to this initiative is lacking when it comes to non-english speaking EU citizens. You can help there.

PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games

Fuck pirate software. He derailed the conversation on stopkillinggames with his disingenuous straw man arguments.

He's one of the most pretentious fucks I've seen.

"$80 games are bad for the games industry!"

There, I didn't have to be a shill to say this.

Libertarians be like

Reply in thread

All libertarians care about is how they can make money and benefit from a situation.

They don't care others are getting fucked as long as they can have their tea.

They don't actually want a free market, they want a market where they can burrow their tendrils deep into society and suck off as much as they can.

I am big fan of their prepandemic work. But if you can get past their click bait videos, I think they still do good content.

Science pieces spreading awareness about something are their best videos.

This recent video on fentanyl was very good.

The south korea one, the vaping and weed ones. Very good at condensing complicated topic while still retaining pertinent information that's new and not patronizing.

Whats getting on your nerves at the moment?

My fucking Brain. I have severe ADHD, and difficulty understanding concepts that are even more than a little complex. I forget stuff so easily. I fucking hate it so much, it is massively fucking frustrating.

I have passion, time and a want to be better. But changing myself is like walking barefoot through a narrow corridor, shoulder wide and full of glass shards on both the walls and the ground. All the while I keep forgetting where the exit is, even as it is right infront of me. Things that should take normal people a day to do, takes me more than a month. I hate it, I hate that it takes me so much time. And only fear drives me to do things, WHY? Why can't it be something that I want to do instead of fucking fear. I fucking hate that. It's like my brain has some bottleneck that just can't be gotten rid of.

If I weren't lucky with my circumstances, I would have killed myself.

U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one

Most people like trump, because "strong man". No one really even knows who JD vance or Usha are. But I guess they'd like her, they like rishi sunak. Being rich is seen as a virtue. There's also a weird obsession with seeing indians in powerful positions, some sort repressed complex.

She's fine with the racism because "she's one of the good ones". She and vance are neoliberalists, opportunists. Watch them try and make as much money as they can before they get kicked out.
