With the rise of the live-service model, video games have shifted from a product you buy to a service you rent, one that publishers can switch off whenever they want.
And here we go again, globbing every bleeding heart cause onto something that remotely has traction, only to inevitably smother it and snuff out any momentum the movement has.
Why would you phrase workers rights that way? Its like people have been brainwashed into thinking anything good for everyone, we have to come up with a word for it to make it sound awful…its propaganda 101, and you’ve either bought into it, or youre a bad actor. Either way, fuck off.
He’s right. Movements need to focus on their thing. Workers rights already has a movement and it isn’t specific to game development. The two should both fight for their interests but trying to combine things that have nothing to do with each other just muddies the waters. How do you write a piece of legislation that covers both how video game rights are handled and also mandates worker rights? It doesn’t make sense.
I’m 100% for workers rights, but is stop killing games about workers rights or consumer rights?
If you try and push every issue through every protest/movement you’re watering it down and making it easier and easier for people to dismiss it as unreasonable or unclear.
