Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively' (www.pcgamer.com)

It's amazing what a difference a little bit of time can make: Two years after kicking off what looked to be a long-shot campaign to push back on the practice of shutting down server-dependent videogames once they're no longer profitable, Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner appeared in front of the European Parliament to present their case—and it seemed to go very well.

Where's the line?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would say things that actually affect people's lives like worker rights, wealth inequality, pollution or energy transformation. Not things that just slightly limit their vast entertainment options.

I would say preserving any kind of human creation is a valid cause. Like that lady that taped all TV program in the 90s. Like 90% of early celluloid films were melted for glue.

valid != important

And this is also human creation

So we need you to tell us what is valuable and what isn't? Have you ever been to a museum, passing by some rocks and broken plates?

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The plates you've seen in museum, were you able to eat out of them? Were they preserved for their utility of as artistic/informative pieces?

The video games, do people want to preserver them for display or do they want to still play them?

I'm not saying video games are not valuable and you can't try to preserve them. I'm saying there are not that important. Right to repair, personal computing, data protection and open standards are for example more important. I haven't seen influencers and the influenced fight for those things as hard as they fight for couple of old games.
