? No they aren't. Not outside twitter at least. Those incels are only relevant because people are outraged at them. It feeds the Engagement Algorithm. They don't have nearly the effect that their opponents give them credit for.

Also, the white knights were using the exact same arguments that the incels were using to criticize Stellar Blade. It's actually amazing how little self awareness "both sides" have. It's almost like the leaders of both sides don't really care about their "issues" and are only Algomaxxing.

No, executive suits delisting game titles and shutting down game servers isn't anything like twitter whine. Think of all the modern games built on the original Doom engine and how none of that would have happened without ID Software releasing their engine's source code. Never made them any money, but it secured Doom's legacy as art. Hell, we can only play Bungie's Marathon game because they did the same before getting bought by Microsoft. Gaming went "Mainstream" and something was lost because of that. At least some indie devs still get it.

Personally, I would change the law to only grant Copyright protections to game titles that had Public Domain plan. Game studios should have to submit source code and assets to their respective government and it be placed in lock down for when the rights expire. I would change copyright length back to 14 + 14 years.
