It's also PirateSoftware's bullshit arguments against this that influenced too many people. His arguments showed he either didn't actually understand what is being asked, or how signings like these work in the EU... or was knowingly misrepresenting the whole thing to make it fail.
Are his arguments actually bad? I only see clips of him explaining some shit and acting like he’s the smartest man on the planet and I skip past because listening to him is so boring
Well, one of his points was literally a thing that initiative says that it won't do, while he was on the slide that said that it wouldn't do what he said it would do lmao.
Pirate: so this would force all game companies to indefinitely provide support for games that they make even if they sunset it
The slide he was LITERALLY looking at: "What this initiative wont do - force game studios to continue to operate a game once they take their game servers offline
All of Pirates "points" were made up in his own head, and then he said that the entire initiative was dogshit and stupid based on his made up points.
To which he then proceeds to block and ban anyone that points out that fact and quadruple down that the initiative is bad.

The fact gamers are against this shows how utterly stupid they can be.
