No one's pushing anybody to do anything. The dead game discourse is about keeping art alive and preserving a freedom to choose what to play.
Edit: Wow. Weird way to phrase things. A "dead" game is something you'll never be aple to play again (like The Crew). This guy is talking about "abandoned" games.
"Dead game" in this context refers to games that have low active player count. The obsession with active player count and daily player count is countered by things like daily log-in rewards that turn games into jobs.
Yeah, I've seen it in the article. But there's currently a campaign going on that's concerned with truly dead games. Calling a game which had a drop in player count "dead" is IMHO counterproductive, since it muddles the water for the current campaign.
"dead game" isnt owned by that movement and it has nothing to do with the article. "oh my bad" would have sufficed, blaming the article for your misinterpretation of the headline is silly
The campaign is called "stop killing games".
And palworld isn't dead. Youecan still play it.
