Hey everyone. If you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy!

    /r/Games basically said they wouldn’t close up because it’s Summer games news week so why hurt the people coming to the subreddit? But also some kind of “we stand with the blackouts so we’ll make some very light changes in protest”.

    I’ve generally liked and preferred Games to other choices on Reddit, but it showed they just didn’t care. Went ahead and unsubscribed because of that weak response.

      Yeah, I didn’t understand that either. Its not like video games are some sort of resource that lives may depend on, like r/ukraine which is more understandable. Oh God we wouldn’t want to miss a Nintendo Direct or something, would we? 🙄

      I can kinda, sorta understand their reasoning and I think Summer Games Fest is very awkward timing for them to blackout.

      If they don’t participate in further protests (and I see more blackouts happening), that’s when we know they’re full of shit.
