requirements for game publishers to have concrete end-of-life plans for online games. basically if its a singleplayer game with an online component, it needs to be made able to work offline when support ends. if its all online (like an mmo or pvp fps) then publishers need to give potential buyers a guaranteed minimum support date (we plan to support this game until at least xx/xx/xxxx).

This, it only concerns players of corporate goyslop

>>212322792
companies can decide on something like 2 years from launch and then keep extending it every year as it continues to be profitable. keeping a server alive with no updates or players is cheap, especially if you dont expect to make money off it and just have a fresh hire restart it every time it falls over. either way having a big red flag like (this game is guaranteed support until [1 month from now] is a good way to stop rugpulls.

cant affect us non-euros negatively in any way. if companies decide to extra cuck their games for the euro market then we'll have a choice of buying the american version or pirating the euro version. if they pull out of europe, theyll still sell to america.

im also guessing its a language thing. the top countries are ones where everybody speaks english, followed by other large countries where enough bilingual (and anglo youtube watching) people exist who could spread the word to their countrymen.

Just don't play online games you absolute nigger of cancer. Online games are the what is killing the games to begin with.

Only redditors give a shit about that.

>>212323256
>keeping a server alive with no updates or players is cheap
But it's possible to have many players that you don't make enough money off of to pay the server costs

>>212326656
You're brown

this feels very gay

>>212322204
It's to help destroy the grey area that video games are currently in that companies are abusing. The goal is to make a decisive decision if video games are indeed a product or a service.
Otherwise soon it will be your very own car that a manufacturer can randomly brick on you for no other reason than it being "too old" despite it running just fine.

>>212326656

cars are already engineered to last like 150k kilometers tops

>>212326919
That's irrelevant if it's barely used, like only a few thousand miles on it but it's "service" is discontinued and in turn, the car is bricked.

If this cunt were in EU it would be nordic blue.

not a good look for us PC gamers

could have been a legitimate case, in regards to perpetual software as a service which you can be rugpulled on at any time, but as always redditors have to make it about vidya so it'll get immediately smacked down as a child's tantrum when it gets debated

This. Only niggers buy games without torrenting them first

If anons hurting themselves can affect the other side that hate then they will do it.

>>212328723
Yes, but there's no reason not to have this as well.

who gives a shit about mmos

>>212328723
I pirate to try it out, and buy it if I like it and want to get updates for it without much fuss

i'd sign but i'm not from the EU

I signed it earlier today. had to give them my ID number and real name which I don't like but it is what it is

>tfw this doesn't go through because no one actually lives in luxembourg and the threshold for a microstate doesn't cut it

I HATE THE EU I HATE THE EU I HATE THE EU

>>212330384
Well, it is an EU citizens' initiative and they have a legal obligation to address it if the initiative passes so it's expected that you'd have to give them a valid ID.

>>212330427
Lad come on, you don't need signatures in ALL the EU countries. The requirement is 7 and SKG has already met it.

>>212330384
lmaoing @ the state of eurocucks

>>212330427
did you read the message after submitting your signature? it only needs 7 countries to have a certain number of signatures. dummy.

>>212330474
be careful with those 5g signals. better wear a tin-foil hat.

>>212328723
always online drm keeps people from pirating shit, this means youll be able to pirate the singleplayer version of whatever you want once it goes offline

The fact that so many people care more about this instead of fighting prostitution and gambling is insane

Also this will just discourage game developers from making multiplayer games since there's no guarantee that anyone would buy their game during the period when they would have to keep supporting the game instead of shutting down the servers the moment they notice they failed. Single player is a much lower risk

>then publishers need to give potential buyers a guaranteed minimum support date
It doesn't say this and it's unlikely this would ever happen.
The minimum you can expect is that private purely-online game servers can't be taken down if the publisher has ended support.
>>212331791
>they would have to keep supporting the game instead of shutting down the servers
That's retarded and not what it's asking for.
For purely online games you could expect that private servers for dead games wouldn't be taken down, and maybe, if we're lucky, companies will have to enable game owners to host their own private servers.

Do not do those, those signatures will not be counted and it could lead to this failing even if there's over 1m signatures

>>212331791
This wouldn't require any specific length of time for the servers to stay up for

>>212332223
i read that clause, but you wouldnt think a shithole like latvia or bulgaria would actually verify those
