Saw people talking in comments at several places now, expressing animosity towards them to say the least, always presented as something that everyone seems to know about.

    The latest pile-on against him is due to him having some reservations about the wording and intent of the petition/movement and, because we’re currently in a era where False Dichotomy is king: anything other than 100% unquestioning support is treated as 100% unequivocal opposition, and vice versa. 😒

    His video’s thumbnail is literally him throwing the petition into a dumpster. If we were not meant to see him as 100% in opposition, that’s kind of on him TBH. He certainly communicates that way.

    Of you’re going to legislate immortality on games, then you’re going to need to make your argument for it clear and robust, who has responsibility for what, how deprecating technology is handled, and so on.

    Missing the point, as it’s not a piece of legislation, it’s a petition. Nobody expects it to be turned directly into law, but for the successful petition to start a process between various interest groups ultimately resulting in a law that’s a compromise. Of course, if you tell people not to sign the petition, that process will never start in the first place.
