Ross Scott: "The "Stop Destroying Videogames" initiative has received official accusations of it (and myself) of violating EU rules! These would be serious charges, except that they're false (inv.nadeko.net)

Copy of the claims

clams: False "No Funding" Declaration

evidences:

Multiple media interviews identifying Scott as handling "the standard day-to-day work of running the Stop Killing Games initiative"

Scott described as the primary strategic decision-maker and public spokesperson throughout the campaignConservative Professional Value Assessment:•Intensive Periods: "Many weeks" of 12-14 hours/day during critical campaign phases

Conservative Estimate: 15-20 weeks at high intensity (12-14 hours/day) = 1,260-1,960 hours

Regular Campaign Work: Additional ongoing daily campaign management throughout 12+ month period

Professional Rate: €50-75/hour for campaign management/advocacy services (market rate)•Minimum Estimated Value: €63,000-147,000 in professional contribution

**Additional Considerations: **

This represents only documented intensive periods, not total campaign involvement

Scott has managed strategic decisions, media relations, and operational leadership throughout

Even conservative calculations show contribution exceeding €500 threshold by 125-295 times
