Lol what a bunch of cope. One guy made a youtube video and that's the only reason why world governments aren't changing laws? The video has less views than his Inscryption playthrough. Is he the sole reason for Inscryption's success too? Is Thor actually a god who can make things happen just by leveraging the power of his 2 million subscribers!?
This failed because the average person does not care about "saving video games". Nintendo announced they can revoke your access to play games you paid $80 for on the Switch 2 and it's setting sales records.
First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy. It was thousands of advocates putting in various actions like writing letters, recording explanation videos and creating posters to name a few in bringing attention to this issue. The video is anything but cope if you had actually watched it you would know that. Second that’s disrespectful to all the efforts he has put into this. He never claimed to be the guy to “save gaming”. He has made it abundantly clear that it was always a team effort. The campaign had issues with exposure and misinformation.
I did watch the video. Half of it is blaming the PirateSoftware video for tanking the entire campaign. Ross literally blamed one guy for the failure. That's cope.
PirateSoftware’s video was the one that had the most views on the topic. Of course it’s going to make Ross’s job harder having to fight through all that misinformation people were given.
He did “just not blame one guy” but a multitude of factors. Like that government official wasting Ross’s energy canceling the meeting with him 3 times or the fact that the UK labour government wrote a laughably bad corporate response to it.
