props to the team at LiC for a swift and clear response. one thing to be aware of is they’re losing more than just refunds: there’s kill clauses for contributors, deposits lost on printers, the designers will need pay for the work they’ve already done. this is a big hit, so support them how you can

You know where the power lies Which side are you on?

A comparison of messages between Stop Killing Games and the European Commission: Stop Killing Games wants to play the games they paid for, the Commission wants you to submit your face or ID to play private Minecraft servers with your friends or else you're breaking the law. At the bottom, text reads "Which Message will Resonate with Voters?"

Video games journalism is in the thick of a generational change, and it fucking sucks. Eventually, things will improve, but what comes next won't look like what exists today.

I was born just early enough to remember the era when we didn't think we would ever get another Star Wars movie, and that was okay. We now live in the era when there must *always* be another Star Wars movie, and I do not like it.
