Re: Brandon White and the damage he caused
To put it into perspective, Brandon White to video game preservation archivists is how James Somerton is to queer history fact checking.
People have been talking about this guy FOR YEARS.
Cookie's Bustle - The Game Almost Erased from the Web (above video, 12 mins)
This Game Is Being Deleted From The Internet... | Cookie's Bustle (27 mins)
[Pre-Stream] Vinny talks about the Cookie's Bustle situation, Rubber Band Man (video below, 11 mins)
Vinny got a STRIKE ON TWITCH over this (which could have spiralled into Vinesauce being deleted).
Archivists got TEMPORARILY BANNED over these wrongful DMCAs from Brandon: (Bluesky)
The Video Game History Foundation's explanation on how they freed Cookie's Bustle is a great read.
Also, something something, history may not repeat but it certainly rhymes, lol:
