Where? I haven't seen that.
Apparently some gamer streamer with a much bigger platform put out a bunch of videos criticizing the initiative and intentionally misrepresenting their goals.
He also refused to talk to the guy behind the initiative to get clarifications whilst still putting out more videos dunking on it. Most likely the critic got paid by the industry to muddle the waters and turn people against their own interests (as per usual).
Bro used to chant stuff like "DRM is bad for the consumer, and I won't stand for it!" But after hearing about the initiative it instantly becomes "cmon guys, let games die, its just how things work. Get with it. Cmon you guys." Such a little weezel.
For real. It’s not hard to understand at all and he’s clearly misunderstanding on purpose.
With DRM being so prevalent these days I’m worried we’ll just have decades worth of games we can’t play one day because publishers want us buying their new games and re-releases of old games.
I make a point of buying physical copies for console where possible and from GOG otherwise. Especially when I am likely to want to replay the game a few years later.
