!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Truth is that most people don’t really care about this. Game preservation is niche. This petition failed because there isn’t enough interest.
The type of people that would watch videos about this are also the type of people that are already invested in this topic. People that didn’t sign the petition are people that don’t even know, or care, about this.
That said, piratesoftware did misrepresent the movement, and I’ll take that into account if someday one of his videos pops up in my feed
Everyone is too busy getting in their "Pirate Software bad" to actually give a shit about the Initiative.
Can anyone name someone of consequence from the EU that has talked about SGK? I genuinely want to know. SKG is a good thing that seemingly only people in the US and Canada seem to care to rally their audiences for.
