Online collaborative pixel art platform Wplace has had many users drawing images from video games, but it’s also being used as a platform for video game-related protests.
Heavily inspired by r/place on Reddit, users can paint any location of the world map with pixels of any color, which has inspired some people to air their grievances through pixel art. As reported by Eurogamer, the location of Riot Games’ headquarters in Santa Monica has been targeted with a large art piece accompanied with the message “#SaveHytale” and the Hytale logo.
Riot Games is the owner of the studio Hypixel, which announced the cancellation of the Minecraft-inspired sandbox game in June after a decade of development. The developer had also announced the winding down of operations.
