Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative
(www.dexerto.com)
[EU] Stop Killing Games:
The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.
The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.
Progress Tracker:
EU Final Day: 31/7/2025.

Yeah, 7 years ago, fuck lol.
I've been watching Ross since before SKG, before the Game Dungeon... even before Mind of Freeman, when he was doing basically MetroCop skits in I think Garry's Mod?
I genuinely recommend him as just a normal type of good, underrated (untill extremely recently lol) just uh, guy who reviews weird old video games, with wit, humor, critiques, praise, and often interesting insights into what the message of a game says as real world social commentary.
