🎙️ Ross Scott on Stop Killing Games, Consumer Rights, and the Fight for Game Preservation | The Marty O’Donnell Show Ross Scott—creator of the Stop Killing Games movement—has become one of the loudest voices in the fight for gamers’ rights. In this episode, @MartyTheElder sits down with Ross to unpack why game shutdowns are more than just an inconvenience—they’re an erosion of ownership in the digital age.
