Oh no, not putting this into a conspiracy. Not at all saying Thor is part of a large shell company.
The issue I am pointing to is how people (Thor included) defend and fight for those same multinational corporations. Hell even you by belittling one aspect of enshitification as lesser and not worth any attention is not doing any good.
Remember that we can do more then one thing at a time.
I think it’s a little gross how much we’ve chosen to pile on as a community.
The man is still advocating (to this very day) against Stop Killing Games, why does he get a pass? Why should I give a flying fuck about companies that have been bleeding a hobby I enjoy for years. Why are people so FUCKING WILLING TO STAND UP IN DEFENCE OF THE INDEFENSIBLE!
Sorry that last one is not the games industry only. But really why do people think its gross to call someone on their bullshit, but not gross to play defence for a multinational company?
Again, I answer. A lot of people.
This man has allowed his hubris and ego to destroy him, a story people like to see. The petition is not yet done and is now getting hate articles done on it (odd that). People are still posting about him as he is now the poster child of a shitty industry most dislike. The harassing of the studio he worked for is news to me (and I think a lot of people as it does not seem to have yet happened).
People who “move on” like you are talking about are a modern day plague, its how we get the absolute clown world we now live in. Have some principle and integrity.
And I am telling you (not likely the only one) that this is very much a real issue. What you are looking at is someone killing their career over the need of their ego to double down over and over. They have become a figurehead of the worst part of the games industry.
This is not going to “go away” anytime soon, and as Thor is still digging deeper will only get worse.
I mean this guy was just about the only opponent to this petition, he went HARD and is now being dumped on.
Not in the slightest in this case. He very much did say that live and also still stands by what was said. The idea that you need someone to walk you though it to such a degree is odd and likely is because you are looking for a particular reality that you can agree with.
Like I could understand if we were talking about some event that had opposing claims here, but in this case the man in question does not even deny that was what he said. And if you want “the context” more then what was on that clip, the live stream was just that he was made aware of the campaign and this is how he reacted.
This initiative can eat my ass, the whole thing. It can eat my entire ass

Its like the most used clip in almost any coverage of this, I don’t get why you keep asking as if its not a well documented thing.
You, do not. Don’t run old ass windows versions that are not actively supported. This is not a controversial statement.
Do run them, go ahead. Not supported does not mean non functional.
Your attempt to compare your usage vs the usage of a financial institution is not only a false equivocation, it’s particularly stupid in light of the fact specialized contracts exist.
I worked for 15 years in the industry (7 years in the banking division) I am very explicitly comparing nothing as both myself and most banks I worked with are using legacy software in the same way. Its about risk management and understanding what can be done to your system, running an old OS is not on the top of my risk list.
Just backup your data, manage your accounts and passwords with the idea they may be compromised. This is how people not trying to sell you something operate.
Not sure how its done in your country, but there are very much windows 7 machines here “raw dogging” the internet. Its more about risk management then anything.
I mean we are in a world where right now the security solutions are worse then the risk of attack. Right now attacks are done mainly with social engineering and the new systems make bonzi buddy look tame.
There is little point punishing my self by changing my windows 7 machine that I like just so that I can change out old vulnerabilities with new ones. I swear software fear mongering runs half the industry right now on nothing other then inertia.
Critique the actual fault at play, bad writing,
That seems to be what is being done here. Everything that I have seen on this has done what you asked, said what they where critiquing then giving a clip from the game as an example. If people can not be critical of media for any reason, we have an issue.
… I hate to out myself here but I have played some of those games cracked.
I mean there was even a whole thing on Far cry 6 running better cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLnGG92usI
And RE Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMXhdPeCfk And Hogwarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_bab5wtHY
I looked up Nier: Replicant and yeah, also cracked (I will not share as I think that breaks rules)
EDIT: Also in the link you provided:
"Did Hogwarts Legacy remove Denuvo?
Notorious game cracker has removed Denuvo from Hogwarts Legacy after just two weeks."
It was a many hour stream yes. But no that is the context, other then Thor just getting it flat out wrong and then doubling down there is not much more of that part of this story.
And if grabbing the first video covering it on youtube is “walking … to [a] conclusion” then I guess so is this very thing I am typing. I guess we should all just stop what we are doing until someone digs up the original livestream in its totality, then at that point we can argue about if it really is the true copy…
Come on the dood in question here does not dispute that is what he said, just the other day he thrust the knife in one more time.
