LogInRoss Scott is planning to go back to his previous content.
If you don't know what the Stop Killing Games campaign is, you need to find out as soon as possible, and I'll help you here because the issue of video games becoming unavailable for players out of the blue is getting worse with every title publishers take off the market, like what happened with Ubisoft's The Crew, which started the whole drama.
Long story short, last year, the company announced the racer's servers would be shut down (and you "cannot complain" because you never owned it), with people losing access to it entirely, which enraged those who loved The Crew and pushed YouTuber Ross Scott, also known as Accursed Farms, to file a class-action lawsuit against Ubisoft, which turned into Stop Killing Games.
The SKG EU petition collected over a million signatures (1,448,271 by the end, according to Scott), with support from a Vice President of the European Parliament but pushback from AAA publishers, naturally.
Now, Scott is ready to wrap it up, as he said in his latest video. Although players all over the world can and should keep fighting, the campaign's creator, who has experienced a massive burnout, is planning to go back to the content he had made before the whole issue.
In the video, Scott reflects on the whole campaign, reviews the strategy, and talks about his plan for his YouTube channel. He also shared his view on how we can save game worlds, if not games themselves, using AI to generate models and textures for recreations of titles that are in danger of disappearing.
"Part of the reason I hate seeing games destroyed is because so many just have fantastic worlds. So it's a slap in the face to me every time a great one is destroyed forever. Hey, Anthem is due to shut down. A bunch of people say it's not a good game, and they're probably right. But look at that world! That looks pretty cool! Of course, I would want to see that! Too bad EA is dumping all of this in the trash so no one can ever experience it again. This is also why I can get resentful towards people trying to defend this practice. It's art destruction! And it's preventable."
