From Ubisoft’s The Crew to broader DRM and emulation debates, we break down the ethics, tech, and preservation efforts driving the conversation. Plus, Bo shares an update on his solo Godot card game project, ShadowLight. 1:22:52 no In this episode of Crowbar Kernel Panic, we dive headfirst into the Stop Killing Games initiative — a global pushback from gamers, preservationists, and developers against the increasing trend of publishers shutting down games, removing them from stores, or making them unplayable even after purchase. From Ubisoft delisting The Crew to the short lifespans of live-service games like Rumbleverse and Knockout City, we explore the big question: Do you really own a game once you’ve paid for it? We break down: * The origins of the Stop Killing Games movement * High-profile shutdowns and delistings * What happens to single-player games with always-online DRM * Publisher ethics: Should they patch games to work offline before decommissioning? * Legal and moral questions around cracking and emulation * The role of the modding community and emulators in digital preservation * How platforms like Steam, GOG, and Epic compare in this landscape * Why indie developers and players alike should care about this trend Along the way, we share our personal takes on digital ownership, recall games we lost to shutdowns, and ask if we’re headed toward a future where even single-player experiences come with an expiration date. To close the show, Bo gives a quick update on his ongoing Godot card game project, ShadowLight — a solo dungeon-crawler inspired by dark fantasy themes, with a twist on time, memory, and resource management. If you care about preserving games, owning what you buy, or just want to hear what it’s like to build a game from scratch while the industry melts down around you — this episode’s for you. 🚀 Stay Connected: YouTube: https://youtu.be/3R1rYNJw1_Q Send us an email at CrowbarKernelPanic@pm.me Join us on Discord. https://discord.gg/Nx6HgaAuZ3 Music from this episode "Bit Quest" and "Basic Implosion" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ stop killing games, game preservation, delisted games, drm, digital ownership, video game shutdowns, emulation, game cracking, the crew ubisoft, live service games, indie game dev, godot engine, godot card game, shadowlight, pc gaming, steam deck, game development, gaming podcast, crowbar kernel panic In this episode of Crowbar Kernel Panic, we dive headfirst into the Stop Killing Games initiative — a global pushback from gamers, preservationists, and developers against the increasing trend of publishers shutting down games, removing them from stores, or making them unplayable even after purchase.

From Ubisoft delisting The Crew to the short lifespans of live-service games like Rumbleverse and Knockout City, we explore the big question:
Do you really own a game once you’ve paid for it?

We break down:

  • The origins of the Stop Killing Games movement
  • High-profile shutdowns and delistings
  • What happens to single-player games with always-online DRM
  • Publisher ethics: Should they patch games to work offline before decommissioning?
  • Legal and moral questions around cracking and emulation
  • The role of the modding community and emulators in digital preservation
  • How platforms like Steam, GOG, and Epic compare in this landscape
  • Why indie developers and players alike should care about this trend

Along the way, we share our personal takes on digital ownership, recall games we lost to shutdowns, and ask if we’re headed toward a future where even single-player experiences come with an expiration date.

To close the show, Bo gives a quick update on his ongoing Godot card game project, ShadowLight — a solo dungeon-crawler inspired by dark fantasy themes, with a twist on time, memory, and resource management.

If you care about preserving games, owning what you buy, or just want to hear what it’s like to build a game from scratch while the industry melts down around you — this episode’s for you.

Amazon Luna Testing

Luna+ - 5.99
Ubisoft+ - 17.99

Games I played on Luna

Distro Testing

Linux Mint the clear winner
I have been testing a ton of games with a ton of distros lately on my new laptop and the results speak for themselves Linux Mint just came out on top.

Games I tested

  • Horizon Zero Dawn - There was a fix for the messed up grass and sound crackling during my testing so I went back and tested this one again and is now actually mostly playable on every distro except Garuda and ZorinOS.
  • Witcher 3 - This game had a lot of stuttering under anything but Linux Mint.
  • Metro Exodus (Linux Native and Proton) - Linux Native was not playable on any Distro I tried due to being half cut off of my screen or severe stuttering. Proton on the other hand was not too bad for the most part but Linux Mint still was the smoothest.
  • Halo CE Anniversary - Played mostly smoothly with some stuttering on the arch distros but was totally playable on all the Ubuntu distros.
  • Splitgate - Has some general Linux issues when comparing it to Windows but is playable on Linux with over 200 FPS on my system just some stuttering issues.
  • Valhimne - Playable on all distros except Garuda.
  • Project Zomboid (This game ran fine everywhere I tested probably due to low system requirements)

Arch Distros I tried

  • Manjaro - Was mostly fine but had some glaring issues such as multi monitor issues and gaming performance issues.
  • Endeavor - had some fairly deal breaking bugs like OBS and Screenshots not working with Plasma and generally more stuttering than on most other distros.
  • Garuda - Just plain didn’t work out of the box with its dragonized plasma desktop.

Ubuntu Distros I tried

  • Ubuntu Gnome 21.10 - This statement goes for all but Mint but basically stuttering was very prevalent on all distros except Mint. Other issues I had were getting optimus to work properly.
  • Kubuntu 21.10 - Other issues I had were, games not popping up on the right screens I wanted and super + shift + arrow keys did not help.
  • FerenOS - Same kinda issue as Kubuntu with games not working on the right screen
  • Zorin OS 16 - Extreme stuttering in most games even with graphics set to low
  • Linux Mint 20.3 - Once vulkan shaders were compiled ( which I allowed every distro to compile that I tried) The games ran smoothly with little to no stutters or slowdowns. Even my laptop fans are controlled correctly on mint out of the box. Caveat to that is I do have to set the speed profiles under windows but once thats set mint uses the correct settings.
