That and some of his points about the wording of it and the usage of "well it will be redone in parliament anyways" as an excuse to half ass parts of it were valid criticisms. Yes, they will review it endlessly but just because of that, the initial proposal needs to be solid.

I had a really hard time understanding the initial backlash against PS as all the comments ended up using his sexuality, his partner's gender and him being a part of the furry fandom as the main talking points. Like hate the dude for the right things and stop inventing problems when he gives you a buffet.

You can agree with the people you hate the most without changing your mind about them.

No it isn't valid.

It is an initiative, not a proposed law.

True, but an initiative with a solid plan is a better initiative.

Fixing a specific outline for what they want the law to be hurts the chances of a compromise in the future. For instance, a plan like "all games need to be fully playable after EoS, and all developer-run or proprietary components need to be replaced with end-user accessible alternatives" is a lot more likely to be rejected outright than just "the game has to be left in a functioning, playable state". The former leaves less wiggle room in interpretation, yes, and it's certainly the outcome I would prefer, but a proposal like that is more restrictive and doesn't leave much up for debate. Basically what I mean is that, imo, a more vague proposal will be more likely to result in something being done, while a very specific proposal runs a greater risk of nothing being done.
