Since the whole GME thing there have been a bunch of followers.
- this is not an official account in fact it started out parodying the funko pop obsession
- when DACH GameStop rebranded i just took the @ and was never asked to give it out
- i was never contacted by GameStop
Bobby Prince, the legendary composer behind games such as DOOM, DOOM II, Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem 3D, has sadly passed away.
May he rest in peace ❤️

🚨🇪🇺 Ursula's Democratic European Union Plans to Crack Down on VPNs!
"The new EU age ID verification system will not be 'bypassed' via VPN access."
Not even China does this to their citizens.
@lmkifiwin It's not over. We prepared for this
We're moving forward with EU Parliament to amend the Digital Fairness Act, pass the Protect Our Games Act in California (email your state senator before June 22) and investigations into The Crew's shutdown by @dgccrf@acccgovau, Germany, etc.
@EU_Commission First time in a long time you were behind California but you're slowly following. You still would need to ban the word sale or purchase for goods a consumer does never fully own like books or movies with drm that need servers to work and you might be on California's level
1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.
THE ANSWER WAS NO.
The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.
The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have
1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.
And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.
Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.
If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.
Video games providers must treat consumers fairly.
Under EU consumer law consumers must be informed about the duration and conditions of a video game’s lifespan.
If the supply is stopped earlier than the contract states, players should be reimbursed.
@WasAcop I mean Linux is fundamentally uncontrollable. The Americans accepted that because if they push that hard your fridge might need an I'd from you or any other smart device
@glowjellii Like if you can afford some people have success with mental healthcare body image issues are crazy hard to deal with for some. Your figure is already extreme as it is
