imaging publishing an indie game with online elements and then be required by the fucking government to work extra hours to prepare the server binaries for the public.

Why should I (a consumer) give a fuck about what developers want? Most devs don't want to make a good game either, if they could shit out literally nothing and get paid for it they'd be happy. Imagine being such a cuckold you want worse products so devs can be lazier

Worked just fine with every multiplayer game in the world (excluding MMOs, really) before 2012.

In fact I just got done playing Quake 3 which I know is a game that is older than you, but thankfully it's still playable because developers used to be competent and didn't want to fuck their customers.

I'm already complying with this because I'm not a soul sucking jewish retard. Fuck anyone who doesn't remove online DRM after abandoning a project.

>>105714349

we put that shit in layers of obfuscation and tricks to make it impossible for hackers to get around and understand how it works.
not talking about monetization, but actual game code,
like player attributes, position, health or inventory etc etc
all that shit needs to be locked and hidden

studios don't want to re-write the obfuscation encryption layers every time they ship a new game, they can keep those parts

no matter how easy or pointless the law is, it's still a deterrent for some devs isn't it?

Most regulation in the world is beneficial to the people. If you didn't have safety regulations, for example, there would be 100x more car crashes and plane crashes.

Pretty much no indie devs are making games which would be affected by any of this.

Most devs are on board with this. It's just some of the more influential publishers who are not.

again, they aren't the same because the stakes are higher. government shouldn't be regulating things as unimportant as video game server binaries. if gamers had any self respect they would vote with their dollars and these shitty companies would go out of business and the problem would solve itself. but they don't, because they're pathetic, unprincipled dopamine fiends

>>105714443
Security through obscurity is and will always be gay and retarded. SSH server is fully open source and yet reliable for critical life and death shit.

>government shouldn't be regulating things as unimportant as video game server binaries
This isn't actually about "muh game binaries". It's significantly more important than that. It's about regulating how products and services are sold in order to protect customers.
>we're selling you a product
>but we've decided that it's actually a service we can kill at any time for any or no reason, without telling you when the service will end or what's the minimum guaranteed lifespan
That's the actual problem. This would be illegal in almost any other industry.
1. If games want to be sold as a product, then they need to have an end of life plan (removal of online DRM, distribution of minimal server binaries)
2. If games want to be "rented" as a service, then they need to clearly state at which point the service will end and reimburse customers if the service ends before it was planned.
The current situation is some game studios inventing a 3rd, non-existent scenario where the game is advertised and sold as a product, but effectively behaves as a "can die at any moment" service. It is the equivalent of Google/Apple selling you a phone, then arbitrarily decide to permanently shut down your phone.

>>105714798
>assuming they used proven crypto algos instead of rolling their own(and why in the name of fuck would you do that) they can just change or remove the keys or keygen code.

You're assuming game devs follow any good software engineering standards. They clearly don't from what's been shared.

>>105714863
>source code might be lost.
Sure, but nobody is discussing games that are currently lost/abandoned.
The theoretical laws made by the EU would not be retroactive. Only ongoing projects that are created after, let's say, 2030. would be affected.

If he set up a reverse proxy and actually uses his deck to host these things and controls it via tmux or whatever, that's not absolutely noob shit. He clearly has some degree of understanding. But then he recommends DuckDuckGo (which is literally Bing), Protonmail (which he hasn't even used), Brave (which he hasn't even used), Librewolf (which he hasn't even used), and a bunch of other stuff that makes it clear he's just parroting posts he found online.
I dunno. This is more impressive than his PC build or Linux install videos because it seems like he actually might have done the stuff in this video instead of paying some dude to do it for him like I suspect he did in the other mentioned videos.

I can buy basically all music on disc or DRM-free download, infact I can buy more music physically drm-free one way or another than there is available on streaming services
Overwhelming majority of movies are released on blu-ray which are not being remote bricked. The tiny minority that is streaming exclusive is a problem sure but still its not as evil especiailly legally like games because its very clearly disclosed how long the subscription lasts for at time of purchase. Obviously they should be forced by law too to disclose how long certains programs will be available on the platform and release them on disc or DRM-free download but thats besides the point here.
On games the end date is NEVER disclosed until its two weeks before it, major difference even to shitty movie streaming platforms (which again you dont have to use for 99% of movies). With gaming you have no alternatives thats why its the worst there and the first that should be tackled, ofc after that im all for going after the movie, music and software industry as a whole.
>>105717239
Music that can exclusively listened to behind DRM must be 0.0000000000001% modern indie generic slop. Not even that because its all on youtube too not just spotify.

Maybe a system that requires such hostility towards the consumer to even exist shouldn't exist to begin with.

>>105714244
>imaging publishing an indie game with online elements and then be required by the fucking government to work extra hours to prepare the server binaries for the public.
That's quite literally what most indie games with online elements do, or at the very least they come with an "offline mode" that lets you play the game without logging in, sometimes with the multiplayer completely accessible without account stat tracking.

>>105723736
Anon, the monetization will get worse, not better. They’ll just charge subscriptions instead of giving you online for free

>>105723826
Then I'll just play on 3rd party servers exclusively.
If they try to charge for server side content on servers they don't host, I'll just play on cracked servers like I used to.
This is not the first time this game has been played.

/g/ is retarded
corporations love open source because you're working for them for free, or for very cheap
one open source project can be spread to multiple corporations, and if each one donates a few bucks to the retard to keep going they all get to use it without having to hire more internal devs that just suck money out of the company
open source devs are even worse than wagey slaves, at least the wagey gets paid

>>105723853
Anon, skg doesn’t mean they have to give you third party servers. It means they have to, if they kill their servers. They’ll never kill their servers, but instead they’ll charge you baseline for something that is now free. The WoW model for every game

Eventually player counts get so low that they have to stop running the servers, the only reason WoW stuck around was it's dedicated player base that refused to admit the first MMO they played and fell in love with turned into a complete shitshow not worth paying for.

kek they can just release game 2 at full price as an expansion pack for game 1 that completely invalidates game 1. It would be just one game with rolling releases. Call it a new season pass or whatever, WoW serves as precedent for games invalidating previous content
And they can just keep on laptop running the server if they want, there’s no law for minimum availability.

Linux is not only a kernel. It is a community. The perfect fucking size. Big enough that every major problem has already been addressed by someone else before. Small enough to keep away the normies

This guy is miles ahead of what LTT is doing. I was never concerned by LTT bringing in the normies as they just fuck around, don't convey any knowledge, use windoze and the fanbase is mostly some retarded gamers - not harmful. Also, it is watched only either for fun or by some wannabe IT bros

My life has been so much easier not having to watch 3 minute videos by some fucking pajeet to troubleshoot a problem. This is going to be back once Linux becomes mainstream

We need to find a new platform to gatekeep and keep away the retards. I suggest openBSD or nixOS

Anon, if you buy most online games you play for free. If this law causes studios to start charging for a subscription on top of the game, then you're paying for something that used to be free.
Another way to get around some hypothetical law is to release all games as F2P. Then you'd be in no obligation to keep supporting it because the customer didn't buy anything. Welcome to World of Genshin Impact, all games are F2P gacha now.

Yes it's worth it I started paying for it this year and it's awesome.

>>105724553
OMG
You pay for the game, but not to play. It's free to play.
If now you have to pay for the game, and to play, you're paying extra for something that used to be free.

If they're forced to keep servers going they're not going to be the ones losing money. All costs are offloaded to consumers. It's how tariffs work, do the countries pay the tariffs? No they don't, the customers do.

>>105724598

>>105724661
>You pay for the game

Anon, if you have a personal seat license or a season ticket for some venue, you still have to pay to get in. Do you think Packers fans get to go the games for free? They pay for the seasonal ticket (the full price of the game) but they still have to pay for each ticket (the right to play online)
Buying the game and playing online once you bought the game are two different things. How is this not obvious to anyone?
It's the difference between WoW (buy game, also pay to play online) and any game where you buy the game, but once you've got it playing online costs nothing.

>>105724744
Let me explain the obvious issue with your logic here anon.
Paying for it is require to play it. If you have to do that then it is not free to play it. Just as it is not free to do anything else you pay for. It doesn't matter practically speaking WHAT part of it you are paying for. And the practicality of it is the point that matters.

>>105724809
So subscription services. Just say subscription services instead of saying it's free to play.
Holy fuck.

why did you delete your image sir

>>105724827
The act of playing the game once you have your license is free.
The act of playing the game once you have your license may very well not be free if some law passes that requires studios to keep servers on forever.
Then, you will be paying for something that used to be free.

>>105724844

I don't like windows, don't have it installed for years, but even with how pajeet infested it can be you could still have less problems overall with windows because almost any application you need is there, and ONLY because it has such a huge community, be the community bad or good. And that "not so bad" level of windows is despite the dogshit base that is the OS itself.
Now, I have trust in Linux because the whole ecosystem by itself is good, not the people using it but the devs know what they're doing even the most retarded Red Hat systemd slop developer ever is miles ahead of whatever some genius at microsoft is doing.
And still, Linux is only behind because of the lack of community around it, devs won't bother targetting Linux to such a few users that won't even pay for anything. Linux is not good because there's retarded neckbeards like you using it pretending to be smart.
So the Linux ecosystem by itself can be much better only by gaining volume, the near impeccable base is there. Linux only stands to win by gaining a larger userbase.

Literal lie, you already have to have server binaries to run them on your own all we are asking is for you to release those binaries, thats it or if for some reason you dont run binaries then release the code, literally asking for ZERO hours of extra development

Not really because you can hardcode some things in the binary for your specific architecture, but it would have to be modified for use by others

>>105725713
All you have to do is tell on the release the users need to patch their system to reroute the harcoded IPs to the ones they want, you dont have to do it the user can proxy the game on their own internally faking the IP, as for microtransactions a literal non-issue, you can still play the game without the shop working. That is the bare minimum they are asking for, no work on your side just released binaries, not even a fucking guide, would it be great of all of the above were worked on to make it easier? yes, is it asked for and forced on the developer? no.

This is why metrics are important. Either the work was approved before payment is agreed, or it's not a valid employment situation and would in fact be extra work outside of an existing work agreement.
If the workload is established in the original agreement, then it is in fact just the normal expectation.
From there, the argument is about a reasonable threshold and slimey semantics. But without metrics, any argument on this topic is pointless no matter who it's for.

Meh, I did all that crap and more but reverted most of it because I need support and proper maintenance to stay productive.
