Comment on The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]
lime@feddit.nu 1 day agothat was sort of the point though. a big case with a narrow focus can later be used as a fulcrum for a wider scope, given that the original case has the right spin. it’s also easier than going after the anti-repair people.

But politicians will actually be prepared to get behind right to repair. But they regard games as a bit infantile, and don’t really want to be involved. A point that was made right at the start of all of this and was then completely ignored.

that’s an assumption. for all we know they would have connected the two, or seen one as harmless and implemented it, or lobbied against both.

People are already talking about to right to repair, so why not take advantage of that, why make life more difficult for yourself than it needs to be?

because to most people software is not a thing that can be repaired.
