The ECI is actually gaining numbers again! neat!
From when I last checked a few days ago, it went from approx 450k to over 550k! Impressive!
Let’s keep the momentum going, so far this week, we’ve seen videos from:
penguinz0 has certainly caused a large influx, and I’m hoping Jeff will also have an impact.
Any more?
Lots, on channels run by generally awful people that I wouldn’t want to link to. The kind of people who just want to get people angry about video games. The kind of people who direct hate mobs at Sweet Baby Inc (without even understanding what it is that company does) and complain about games being “woke”.
I meant to say, any more videos supporting the movement which may have caused an influx in support. Sure, there are indeed videos by some semi prolific developers with a following attempting at crashing the initiative, but as you mentioned, we are trying to get the initiative to pass, not tank it :)
They are awful people, but they’ve made videos in support of the initiative and likely drove their followers there. If you search for Stop Killing Games on YouTube and look at the recent videos, there’s a who’s who of “oh no, not him”.

It seems to be due to rage bait YouTubers running with the beef/drama between Ross and Pirate Software, because of course it is. That’s the only thing that gets anything on social media to spread, it seems. In this case though, I’ll take it.
