alt Hacker NewsIts because people are brainwashed by techno capitalists propganada and think they're going be in the "startup" founder position one day and thus defend the people currently in those positions no matter what, thinking their protecting their own interests (and its almost always the opposite).
There's nothing wrong with having an ambitious attitude, but why not be ambitious seek to build a better tech-biz ecosystem that is actually pro consumer and pro human..
People seem to think there's only one way, and that way is letting capital owners behave however they want incase they're also in that position one day.

Can't wait for the posts 10 years from now asking what happened to indie devs.
This bill alone won't do it, but as you pass regulations it gets harder and harder for a regular person to participate.
The worst rendition I've seen of this bill for Europe requires basically a development bond/retainer to 'ensure' there's dev time available to develop offline features. I.e, extra costs for devs who already by the numbers lose money releasing a game.
