To be frank, I do not think he's arguing in good faith so be prepared for some answer that gets away from his original 3 assertions:

1. That this initiative isn't thinking out every single consequence
2. That Ross Scott is acting in bad faith
3. A basic misunderstanding of how laws are created.

So yeah, where exactly was he acting in good faith? Did you reach out to him?

I knew you weren't arguing in good faith before when you said Ross wasn't acting in good faith and gave no examples, but now I know you're not.

Goal post moving my favorite!

Or are you one of those people that wants to see things to fail because that's all you can do in life?

So do you actually care about game preservation or is this just a really good example of how self regulation in industries doesn't work?

What the hell do you mean Ross isn't acting in good faith?

In what way has he been acting in bad faith?

Again, have any of his critics actually watched the videos? Or are you all just taking a word count limited petition as the full set of textual law.

DO you really think a pan-national entity like the EU would just allow laws to be word limited like twitter/bluesky?

And again, as I explained in the first post. The initiative doesn't become law suddenly.

Experts in fields affected, from business to consumer rights to workers and developer professional groups will get involved. The initiative is to even START this conversation in the EU parliament.

This is documented, spoken about and more in every video including the initial announcement video.

Also, all laws will have unintended consequences but I would rather consumer rights actually be protected and not everything be a "you rent and you will like it".

Like he has explained this several times, as his background is unironically in criminal law and thus on a legal basis he is focused on.

He's openly stated and asked for developers to jump in and help refine everything but he also involved lawyers in every part of the process.

You fundamentally do not understand what an initiative is in the sense of public policy and government.

For the EU, the initiative system is the first step to a lengthy process that creates committees which have all vest members of interest involved.

Because honestly, your post is filled with the same cynical 'golden oppurtunities' shit that stops good ideas in their tracks because they're not good enough for your opinion.

Did you ever stop that maybe reaching out, putting your two cents forward? Do you even know what initiative is?

Dude; did you even once bother to reach out to Ross and co about this?

Was it the tirade where you sat there and acted smuggly making a crap load of strawmans first or did you reach out?

Because from here I see someone licking their wounds after getting lambasted.

Chet is actively making one of the worst faith arguements I've seen, next to PirateSoftware.

He didn't watch the videos, and if he did, he clearly is conflating points or is misrepresenting on purpose.

Hi; person who actually supports SKG and actually watched the video.

No, that is not the point and he even states that if the devs can only do it on specialized hardware, when the EOL hits, they can hand out the files and say, "Hey listen, so fans, you'll need special servers."

He's fine with that

All of those French 3D animations.
