    Ah, another post where I get to rant about Piratesoftware. Fuck that self righteous, egotistical, fear mongering, ignorant, big headed, grifting, skript kiddy, cornball. Dude couldn’t be assed even to read the Q&A, then makes up stuff about the initiative out of thin air. Dude is such a little weezel, I can’t BELIEVE he still has a following after his hate campaign against the initiative. The fact that anyone outside of his immediate family cares about what he has to say boggles my mind.

    TLDR: Thor, not my cup of tea personally.

    lol did you see my comment and post the article I linked?

    Anyway this is a dead end clearly. Part of it is so many of us can’t even sign the petition. Bummer these guys are done but i guess we just need to find a other way

    Signed it ages ago when it first came about, and it’s really sad to see it still hasn’t gotten enough signatures.

      Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?

      I mean that guy was a dickcheese even before he tried to torpedo this initiative. But wow did he add to his pile of stink.

        He abandoned his hardcore group to die in DireMaul. I have no respect for Thor.
