Thor from Pirate Software must be absolutely seething rn
why?
He hates StopKillingGames, because he thinks it will make bad actors try to ruin devs because he expects people to try to profit from being able to provide game access to players when the devs are out of the picture. So therefore we can't stop killing games, we need to just let games die and stop feeling entitled to the necessary code to run servers. And besides we need to get comfortable buying games with temporary licensing deals that are more convenient and cheap for the developers so they can not renew them if the game isn't successful, and if the license runs out then we need to accept that the music or car or whatever legally needs to be removed. And we need to accept that if corporate wants to delete our accounts or sew our mouth to somebody's ass then that's just gonna have to happen because it's what we agreed to. Turns out the man is a business bro shill cunt totally cool with the new bullshit because it's preferred by the suits.
He was strawmaning the stop killing games initiative.
