Hijacks your political movement hashtag
Ragebait gets views
Wow, OP is extra faggoty this morning.
Do low test white men with long hair have nothing better to do than rally crusades to save videogames or some shit?
It's either that or killing niggers, pick your poison
on the bright side he shot himself in the foot a few months later by finally making people understand what a vile little rat he is
He's a nepobaby with industry connections. Access to algorithm manipulation matters more than anything.
People still watch that retarded faggot after he humiliated himself? Is his audience 12 year olds?
Is his audience 12 year olds?
Yes. His shortform videos get pushed hard
Nobody gives a shit about some shitty videogames EOS when there is a new old war going on right now
Oh no did the shitty petition fail?
hopefully it did, corporations shouldnt be held accountable at all, eu is full of cucks
jewish astroturfing
I ran into this guy once at a game conference, he's been married for awhile, I asked him why he didn't have any kids and he flipped the fuck out on me.
I always thought it was weird because you know, he's at that age, but when he saw my wife and kids he realized why I asked.
Either way the guys a weirdo.
hires mods as full time employees
immediately refuses to use a mana gem
bleeds subs causing him to be demoted in the algorithm
viewers halved within a week
What did he mean by this?
Is his audience 12 year olds?
Yes and also bots.
What did he do? I didn't realize until this thread that I hadn't seen him in my algorithm for a minute.
I don't really care about the moldy caveman but Malding Fagtree and ubishills are subhuman niggers
he's a genuine narcissist, he physically cannot admit that he made a mistake nor offer an apology for anything even when he is 100% in the wrong (which he will never perceive himself as being)
bailed on a hardcore dungeon in WoW, most of the team died lmao
The WoW stuff was the small of it, essentially he began to use his new found fame and influence to threaten to get people banned from video games if he didn't like them, and started mass reporting players in some new MMO because he wanted to farm a enemy instead of playing with others.
It started the whole ball rolling on his past antics of abuse of power all the way into his days at Blizz abusing his power and it turns out WHOOPS hes a nepo baby who threatens to take his ball and go home if he doesn't get what he wants.
you can literally pay google to boost your youtube channel
hight test men are totally posting on 4chanon the Anon Babble - ecelebs & porn board yeah nigger
I don't care about the WoW drama, but he was doing a "blind playthrough" of a puzzle game, and actually looking up the solutions to puzzles on his phone, while commenting out loud that he resolved it himself and would never look things up on principle.
Getting stuck, using his phone, visible on cemera, and in 1 minute A-HA! I figure it out! And doing the opposite of what he had been doing so far. Parody tier, but not as a joke.
I dont care about him fucking over people with 60+ hours in a game and getting them perma killed, or about him using his influence to threaten and ban people from steam, twitch, youtube etc, I don't care that he had a dev shut down and suing them, I don't care that he is a scum bag who embezzles money.
NO THE LINE IS WHEN HE LOOKS AT HIS PHONE AND MAYBE CHEATED ON A GAY LITTLE PUZZLE GAME!
Find some rope.
fucking over retards is pretty standard in shitty MMOs, but pretending to not be a retard shouldn't be tolerated
How far did the petition get?
Not even half way to its goal. Remember, it has until the end of July to hit 1,000,000 signatures. Do you think it'll make it?
Oof. Not a good look for the Mossman. I'm actually a little surprised by how little people care about this.
a american with a 99% american audience who only speaks about how things are in america and american videogames and no skills besides english tries to tell a continent of people with 30 languages who primarily watch slop jokes in english and the rest in their own language what to do
wonders why it didnt reach very far
Honestly? No. I don't think it will. Unless some extraordinary campaign shoves this into the highlight again, this initiative is dusted.
However, maybe it doesn't need to succeed anymore.
As a friendly reminder, the EU Commiussion is already making steps to ban a number of things in mobile games, such as microtransactions after a particular mobile game (some horsey game meant for little girls) got way too greedy.
ec.europa.eu
ec.europa.eu
This gives me hope that the changes you can 100% expect in the consumer rights in the coming years, will maybe open the gates where the EU takes such a radical approach to malicious design patterns in all video games, not just mobile games.
Wasn't it confirmed that piratesoftware bots his views? His twitch makes it very obvious.
Unless some extraordinary campaign shoves this into the highlight again, this initiative is dusted.
Ross just did a video saying he was in communication with GOG to put it on their email newsletter, and they led him on, but ended up rejecting it. He was also talking to Heineken, the beer company, but they want to do a gamer themed campaign next year and it won't be in time.
He also says he has gotten some private people to pay for YouTube adverts, on non-english Euro language channels.
So he is trying.
Turns out he's a pathetic ego maniac.
just lmao at modifying your voice to sound deeper and like howard stern "thor" JASON
Just remember, Ross didn't WANT to lead this. He's not a charismatic figure.
But nobody else was stepping up.
Consumer rights ARE important and so is the preservation of art.
He could have saved gaming
I wanna watch him review point and click games again =(
He roached in hardcore WoW (basically abandoned his team to die to save his own skin) and acted like a psychotic, narcissistic bitch about it. It wasn't the roaching that was the problem, but his behavior and reaction to it made a bunch of people put a microscope to his other behavior and there was a massive amount of other shit that came out about him being a retarded egomaniac for years. Stuff like lying about doing blind playthroughs while obviously looking up the solutions to genuinely impossible puzzles, kicking people from his guild for a wipe that he caused, etc. So he became a lolcow for a bit where people started meme-ing him for roaching and for a bunch of other stuff. He eventually got kicked from the WoW guild because he had been threatening to get other streamers permabanned off of WoW and Twitch, and that obviously soured a ton of his viewerbase (which was supposedly botted, anyways).
You're saying he sacrificed his on character to save gaming by pretending to be retarded?
Then why didn't he?
Wouldn't you rather see him drag his ass through some obscure attempt to copy what a more successful game exactly with nothing interesting added and he has nothing interesting to say about, because he just started recording and at some point realized he had wasted enough time on for it to be a waste to not be an episode?
lol
Yeah these old 3D games just lead to boring episodes.
He also lets these episodes drag the fuck on. I guess he saw comments saying that they liked the long episodes and decided that every episode from then on needed to be over an hour. Of mostly just recapping what's happening in a boring game.
We need more episodes like Trackmania.
He did for a time. It was a long time ago now but for a time he was one of only very few youtubers who shone a light on how much dogshit got thrown on steam for sale and held devs accountable.
There's a much bigger "muh devs can't do any wrong" movement nowadays mostly because they don't really get held accountable in the same way anymore.
he fucked around and found out.
He lost over half of his viewers, which is probably killing him inside, given that he doesnt need the money he gets from streaming. Hes a rich nepo baby.
What he WANTS is the clout, he wants to be liked and perceived as this high IQ genius gamer hackerman
He got exposed as the low IQ troglodyte he is, who does nothing but spew lies and larps as a game dev
All because his fragile ego wouldnt allow him to say "my bad, i panicked"
I think the worst one Is Conquest Earth. At least slavjank resident evil and visual sci-fi novel attempt has story beats that add some kind dynamic peaks and valleys for him.
And yeah, not understanding that it was the fact that his long videos used to have interesting things in them being what made people for longer vids. It's pretty retarded.
The idea is nice. The exaction is flawed. Why focus so hard on a live service game that's been on a downward spiral into death because it was like 2-3 games behind it's sequels?
Because it was european
begging corpos to spend money on things you won't

yeah ok bud
daily reminder that SKG is pissing in the wind at best and artificially creating another Nexon at worst
Probably not, but the signatures falling short is not the end of it because there are currently several other EU related branches looking into the issue of live-service games, and especially the launchers that collect data on singleplayer games.
This, it was a made in Europe game with made in Europe license agreements with European citizens.
It's not about the racing game, but it's the most obvious example because that Ross guy predicted the death of that game over 6 years ago. Ubisoft knew this too, but never bothered to do anything about it. Ubisoft didn't even bother to warn people who were about to buy this game that the game has an arbitrary lifespan. Now that there exists some level of fix to make the game run again offline, it's 100% clear that Ubisoft is just being scummy and it really was all preventable. Ross made a video about the game, so it only made sense for him to use this as the vessel to deliver the message.
This initiative was doomed to failure without someone picking it up who had a massive european following, but that guy didn't help. Him going a few months later and torching his goodwill entirely was fun though, total Mold vindication.
No, not close. Remember that even if it did hit 1 million the signatures they then need to be verified as legit. All online petitions have a large % of junk signatures that need to be culled.
Every european has a unique number tied to their ID, and the poll requires you input it.
And you know it isn't accepting fraud numbers and duplicates?
oh Anon Babble? yeah, so Anon Babble works like this. the site is basically a hacker mekka. the site uses encryption that make all the users have the same name. maybe you've heard about anonymous. the famous hacker group? yeah, thats them. so i was actually working at Anon Babble for a couple of years. the site admin moot, after hearing about my hacking skills, contacted me on discord where we talked for a bit, and he hired me as a security guy where my job was to keep one of the boards free from spam and remove off topic threads. my dad was one of the original oldfags, and moot actually based pedobear on him
It checks name+id combo, and checking duplicates is trivial.
But you have no idea if it is being done.
mutt
kek
I blame all the southern money-leeching countries that refused to sign.
They have always been nothing but a burden and are not real europeans anyways.
I genuinely think that. At least PC gaming.
you realize that pirate software uses viewbots, right?
The initiative was doomed to fail because most people have zero consumer rights awareness, just see every game boycott, or Nvidia jacking up prices while delivering less, people will still buy out of FOMO and even defend corporations.
Every big company is going to push for live service where they'll have complete control, consumers will own nothing and people will still praise it.
Maybe he would've succeded if UK was still in the EU, but I wouldn't count on that.
oh wow, this sir speaks confidently about things, he must be so very smart
UK had its own petition for this that actually got a government response and they just gave some PR BS "we understand your concerns but actually it's completely legal for you to own nothing and games getting shut down is OK kthxbye".
It was doomed because it's difficult to get the word across in Europe when the main figure is obscure American youtuber living in Poland who doesn't even speak Polish. It also doesn't help that Baltics and Balkans are places where people hardly buy games legitimately in the first place, so not only is there a language barrier but also consumer culture barrier.
If you ask from someone in Slovenia about how would they feel if the game they purchased was suddenly remotely rendered unplayable, they would just look at you confused and say "What do you mean, when I *buy* a game?"

Why focus so hard on a live service game that's been on a downward spiral into death because it was like 2-3 games behind it's sequels?
The fact that there are subhumans out there genuinely asking this is why this movement failed. This shit has been explained before multiple times, even on the FAQ and therr are still subhumans out there who can't just do a tiny little bit of research. It's actually how we got into this mess in the first place.
What is Ubisoft trying to achieve by spamming these threads?
Demoralization.
yeah? the wow controversy proved what a fucking retard that dude is
the famous hacker group? yeah, thats them
i was hanging out with a group of people afew days before the site came back and one dude brought up how Anon Babble went down because they lost a hacking war with some other shadowy website, he made it sound so clandestine and interesting.
From what I remember Mutathar was the one trying to claim he started the entire movement
