If buying a game doesn't mean I own it, pirating a game doesn't mean I'm stealing.

Ya es OFICIAL
Ahora, cuando compras un videojuego, lo compras para un rato, no para toda la vida
La Comisión Europea acaba de rechazar la iniciativa de STOP KILLING GAMES (1,3 millones de firmas) afirmando que "no puede proponer una obligación legal" que exija a los editores mantener los juegos jugables después de que dejen de venderse comercialmente.

The EU Commission's decision prevents the introduction of new legislation
Existing legislation can be amended by Parliament regardless of the Commission's decision (The Digital Fairness Act in this case).
Therefore, the Commission's decision is not final for SKG.

All because members of the EU met with lobbyists and Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillmot behind closed doors and likely had their hands greased.
Pathetic, embarrassing, corrupt behavior by institutions meant to protect the people instead choosing to protect corporate interests.
'Stop Killing Games' has failed to secure new EU legislation despite having 1.3 million signatures
The EU says it “cannot propose a legal obligation” requiring publishers to keep games playable after they stop being sold commercially
Community note
The EU Commission declined to propose legislation via the Citizens' Initiative, but campaign organizers state they are continuing by seeking to amend it into the Digital Fairness Act through the European Parliament. x.com/StopKilingGame… digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commis…

Can't even say I'm disappointed... cause that would mean I expected anything other than this failure of a "response" 🤷♂️

Today, the @EU_Commission replied to the European Citizens Initiative "Stop Destroying Videogames".
New legislation will not be proposed, but exchanges will be initiated with consumers & industry to improve the management of videogames' end-of-life.

Important context: Just before the hearing, video game lobby including Ubisoft organize a private meeting with the European commission without the Stop Killing game initiative gamesradar.com/games/racing/t…

This decision is not unexpected. But we were prepared. Hence, we're pushing forward with @Europarl_EN ammending #StopKillingGames to the Digital Fairness Act. We can move on without the Commission and their non-decision, as @accursedfarms mentioned before: x.com/StopKilingGames/status…

This is not making you look anything but exceptionally weird...
Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban.
‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’
‘Keir Starmer’
‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

Politicians want the state to play mummy and daddy with bans on social media because they think ordinary people can't control their kids. But we can - it's these MPs who seem to have a parenting problem. This is an exceptionally weird clip to put online.

New Blog Post: The Sad Unusability of Video Game Reviews. There is a way that pro reviewers can be helpful. It just doesn't work for video games. Even if there were reliable reviewers. Which there is not.
So just use Steam refunds a lot!

It’s so mysterious when a big new game fails. Maybe if they made the characters even uglier it would have succeeded.

Always aspire to have the self confidence of a racist who hasn't looked at the average Korean woman while making judgements about them anyways.

"You're really saying that in a franchise drawing exclusively from European mythology and folklore, you have an issue with a monster Gary Gygax invented for Dungeons and Dragons in 1974?!"
Some of you folks are beyond parody...
God of War is a fantasy franchise in which you confront Gods of various mythologies, has a talking decapitated head, wield ever burning blades chained to your arms, and throw an axe retrieved by a telekinesis.
But sure, go on, tell me how a Gelatinous Cube doesn't fit.

Let’s see if a random fork can break 6.74M views.
The series finale of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” drew 6.74M viewers on Thursday night, making it the most-watched weeknight episode in the show’s history.
• The finale was up sharply from the show’s 2026 Q1 average of 2.69M viewers
• It’s also above “The Late Show” series premiere on Sept. 8, 2015, which averaged 6.55M viewers
• The most-watched episode remains Colbert’s post-Super Bowl broadcast on Feb. 7, 2016, which drew 20.55M viewers
