    “Anonymous” is a weird way to spell Ubisoft. JS.

    The complaint alleges that the sorts of hours Scott says he’s often dedicated to the campaign “far [exceed] any reasonable volunteer threshold”.

    lol, those arbiters of reason want to talk about what is the threshold of reasonable?

      Yet it’s completely okay for corporate lobbyists to spend more time with politicians than with everyday people.

      Yeah, Ubisoft would certainly know a thing or two about reasonable hours to work on something:

      https://www.eurogamer.net/700-ubisoft-workers-strike-in-france-over-failed-salary-negotiations

      Yep, they know so much about reasonable working hours that uh, they caused a union to be either formed or joined en masse by their employees, to coordinate a strike against those ‘reasonable hours’, and other shitty shit Ubisoft does.

      Vive le Syndikat, mort aux esclavagistes.

[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.
