While PirateSoftware did a lot of damage, it's just sad that European gamers have to be coaxed by US streamers to act in their own self-interest. Are they just unable to care about anything without US social media telling them to care?
To be fair Ross does live in Poland.
Who is Ross?
Ross Scott, Accursed Farms on YouTube. He's the one behind the stop killing games initiative. You may know him from his Freeman's Mind series or Ross' Game Dungeon.
I've been following Ross since he was making skits about two hl2 metrocops nearly two decades ago.
Whoo boy, its wild that ... this guy who just loves older games and semi-regularly reviews them... had to like... start an international movement, to attempt to ensure the corpos wouldn't be able to destroy gaming history by making it into an entirely ephemeral, temporary experience.
He'll always be Dr. Freeman to me =D
If anybody is interested in reviews of some truly weird, old, rare games... Ross has been doing that for a decade, check out his Game Dungeon series... only reason he hasn't made so many new ones lately is because of uh yeah, having to take time off to spearhead a push for legal reform so that future reviewers of old weird games might actually be able to do that.
The guy spearheading this cause.
