Lots of sane people arguing against planned obsolescence. Worthy of a signal boost.

Why the change to "Destroying Videogames" from "Killing Games"?

'Killing' is the movement, 'destroying' is the EU initiative. There is no rename, they both exist. Why different? They take you more seriously in law making settings if you don't use euphemisms and are coincise with your wording.

One is the American movement started by Accursed Farms. The other is the movement here in the EU.

You can‘t accuse corporations of murder!!! That‘s mean!!! Or something like that I suppose…

Because in the legal world words have meaning. Saying killing games makes good headlines but on a legal and professional level.

It makes you sound like a fucking child.

You don't win if you don't play the game correctly. Professional wording matters.
