Comment on Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold

On May 30, 2020, a petition titled “Justice for George Floyd” was created after unarmed African-American George Floyd was murdered by police, leading to mass protests. The petition earned over 19 million signatures, making it the most signed petition in the platform’s history, surpassing the Article 13 opposition petition over a year earlier.

And what the fuck did the petition do? Protests work, petitions don’t do shit.

    How about you stop wasting energy trying to discourage people with your negativity. The people who sign petitions are the most likely to protest on the issue.

    And the people who are on the edge of protesting might choose not to because they get a sense of accomplishment from signing and sharing the petition.
    
    How about you stop wasting energy trying to get people to performatively do nothing instead of getting out and actually making themselves heard?

How can you compare the mishandling of flaky criminals with a rapsheet as long as your arm with the purposeful destruction of art by billion dollar corpos?
