"The momentum is real."

It’s amazing what a difference a little bit of time can make: Two years after kicking off what looked to be a long-shot campaign to push back on the practice of shutting down server-dependent videogames once they’re no longer profitable, Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner appeared in front of the European Parliament to present their case—and it seemed to go very well.

    Wup, there’s management. Let me guess what they’re talking about.

    “You, sir, are mad! Dinosaurs are reptiles! They must be cold-blooded!”

    “Now, you listen and you listen good: Birds are one of the closest living relatives to dinosaurs we have. And I don’t need to tell you they’re all warm-blooded.”

    “Do you know how difficult it is to maintain thermostasis for an animal so large? They’re cold-blooded, I tell you!”

    “Let me tell you something. There’s evidence to suggest that Velociraptors had feathers. Feathers! What does that tell you?”

    It’s amazing that Ross Scott has gone from delivering the funnies to absolute morale boosting for the gaming media.

      Hi5 for also being a Ross fan since waaaaaaaay before all this Stop Killing Games stuff happened.

      The man needs a trophy of a hand gripping a crowbar -> ‘For meritorious service in the defense and preservation of video gaming’.

      He’ll always be what Freeman sounds like to me.
