Yes, he has some good points that I agree with - like the bot takeover, and some other ones. However, he is a narcissist and know-it-all. He took SKG to the extreme, assumed it will be reality, and then bashed it to end. That is not how you do it. And you don’t say “eat my whole ass” to someone trying to keep games playable after sunset - especially as a gamer and a game developer. It is not a law, it is an incentive to show support and let legislators handle it, so they know we want it. The guy is not a lawmaker, he is a YouTuber and a gamer, ofc it is not gonna be worded like law.
Yeah, at my work we have a legal department who does all the lawyer writing, but as a cyber analyst I have to do analyst writing. We don’t conflate the two, I never write legal stuff and would never try. They don’t pretend to understand technical stuff and wouldn’t bother trying. No random youtuber would be capable of writing law, except maybe legal eagle?
I had a think about some of the ‘licensed content has to go away after x years’ which he talked about with the cars in the Crew. Before live service was possible, there were similar deals to put content in games. Think GTA etc. What licensing model was used there and why can’t it be used today. His arguments assume you know nothing about the industry and take things at face value. They also assume that it’s a binary situation. Not a fan of that kind of thinking personally.
