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.

I had my own son radicalized by Tik Tok's algorithms. With some parental guidance he managed to "break loose", but no, there was nothing wrong or fleeting with his views before that happened imho.

Extremely scary to watch.

Add to that radicalization pipeline bit the fact that obscene wealth like what Notch came into tends to be extremely socially isolating and directly causes people to lose touch with reality. Not to be like "oh the poor billionaires," but having that kind of money literally causes mental illness. For their own good, no one should be allowed to have that kind of money.

I think there is a 'not' too much - or do I read it wrong?

Yeah I missed that one. When I was writing it I changed my wording from "they should not be allowed," to "no one should be allowed," and missed a word. Thanks.
