Freeman's Mind fans of the EU, it's time to step up! The creator of Freeman's Mind and Civil Protection (Ross Scott) has launched a European Citizens' Initiative (direct democracy tool in the EU) about consumer rights in video games whose goal is to stop games from being destroyed when they shut down; letting players be able to keep playing the games they've bought. If you're totally new to what's going on, I'd recommend these videos from this playlist: youtube.com/watch?v=q4KmZz-70bs&… youtube.com/watch?v=w70Xc9CStoE&… youtube.com/watch?v=sEVBiN5SKuA&… Go to stopkillinggames.com and it'll tell you what you can do to help. But the big thing is the EU Citizens' Initiative. Try getting bigger YouTubers and streamers (especially with an EU audience) to talk about this or have an interview with Ross or one of the official organizers (Ross is open to talking to anyone with an audience above 100 followers and who aren't extremely edgy). It needs 1 million signatures before next August. Sign here if you or your friends, family, etc. are an EU citizen of voting age! [16 in Belgium, Germany and Austria, 17 in Greece, 18 everywhere else] (remember to double check your information to prevent your signature from being invalidated!): eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/sc…
Good initiative.
Ross Scott situation is crazy ! (im in)
He could've finished FM 2 first before making this political movement. But well good i guess. Not an EU citizen so I'm not gonna matter - games are not necessary to survive anyways.
Wait this is political?
I think Ross is more concerned about this subject that he's obviously passionate about than finishing a video series that wasn't going to be finished for a long, long time at the rate he was producing them anyway.
Yeah thats what I'm seeing. But at least finish them first. I only came to his channel for FM (and occasionally Game Dungeon - which is the reason I got into SiN 1998).
Well, video games preservation can be political since it involves changes in law, if I have to guess.
in any case, I do hope he'll win. I dont want to see another Louis ROSSmann, where he failed to have his fight for "right to repair" succeed.
To put this into perspective, FM2 started seven years ago, and he's only just finishing Ravenholm. I don't think he's going to want to wait another seven years to pursue something that matters to him and it doesn't seem like a good look to be more concerned that he didn't finish your free entertainment. I get it, similarly I wish Smooth Few Films would get back to the revival of Leet World that they announced years ago, but like Ross Scott, they do not owe it to me.
Yeah. tbh I no longer watched Ross. Ran out of interest these days. You're right though, its all on him anyways since we're nobodies.
