I know ameritards and hired corporate shills are strong on /pol/ but this could have ramifications that lead to you actually owning not only your electronic toys but also your fucking purchased software. Imagine being actually able to have a perpetual Adobe copy that never runs out.

No, stop playing video gaymes.

>>508765604
Any law that would address this issue would effect software overall and potentially consumers' rights across entire spectrums of products. Games are the sugar pill to get people interested, but it could have effects on everything from server software to Adobe's cloud bullshit.

>escapism is gay
Get off the internet and go to work then.

>>508765763
okay but literally fucking everything is trying to move to a 'software as a service' model from point of sale machines to the fuel pump regulators in cars. this would require companies to not kill your property when they don't feel like letting you use it anymore. it's a planned obsolescence "you will own nothing and be happy" thing, not just toys.

The only way for my country to start voting for this is to campaign this as "games will be easier to pirate".
We can't afford games with our median salary of €1000 and among the highest food prices in EU. Losing access to purchased games is not a problem when you're not buying them in the first place.

this is definitely more on-topic on /pol/ than on /v/ since it's politics related

>>508766190
That's not what this initiative is about tho.

To all Italians: The Pope will die in his sleep tonight unless (You) sign the initiative

>>508766268
Then that's why it'll fail
It's some complicated ambiguous autism shit, rather than something simple and obvious that can be effectively campaigned for.

Total gamer death, age of tabletop wargames now faggots

>>508766268
>>508766190
According to Israel Prime Minister it says they are forcing jews and jeet to complete the game before launching it.

>>508766306
It's more like it would require companies to release enough infrastructure that fans could choose to run their own servers for online games once the company decides to shut the official ones down.

>>508766112
Discard your constitution and sign petitions you absolute faggot.

>>508764378 (OP)
I don't really feel like it

>>508766306
It's just "Companies must release their server tools if they shut down an online-only game" so that people can keep using what they paid money for.

wait,
hold on,
since activism is political, is it within the rules of 4chan to beg for signatures and votes on /pol/ ?

>>508766466
Whats wrong romani bro?

>>508766592
i like freeman's mind guy but i steal all my games so this doesn't affect me

>>508766673
You would be able to steal even more games or more functional ones if devs were forced to release source codes and/or server binaries.

>>508766756
Nobody would force companies to release source code, anon.

>>508764378 (OP)
i already did
I'm kinda surprised this hasn't gained more traction.
It will end renting games online as "sales" and we will get to keep games after servers shut down.

Dude it's 9.40 am and you are on 4chan

No wonder your salary is so bad if you're not working

>>508766965
You are not working either Ahmed.

>>508766756
>>508766811
fine, there, i put my name on it

>>508766554
And that's an unreasonable demand that will never succeed
What WOULD succeed is requiring that single player games have a setting by which they can bypass the need to access a server, and that this must be activated by the company before shutting down any servers.

>>508764378 (OP)
fuck piratesoftware. motherfucker single handedly killed this movement.

>>508766965
I work from home. I'm just fucking around before a meeting.

>>508767065
To clarify, if the gameplay is inherently online, provided by the company's servers, then a reasonable buyer would understand that this is potentially a temporary provision.
But if the gameplay does not inherently include an online component, and the servers are merely used for under-the-hood functionality of no interest to the buyer, then the buyer has grounds to claim that they have been ripped off when the game stops working due to server shut down.

>>508766306
The point of this initiative is to allow games to still be played even if they depend on servers. For online games this means that once they stop supporting the game, they will have to make it playable without them running servers. This means in practice that they have to release the server software so anyone can run their own private server and you'll still be able to play that game.

The problem with online games is that once the support stops, the game is completely dead and lost forever unless some autist goes out of his way to write a replacement server (which isn't trivial and takes a lot of time and effort).

This is how things SHOULD be. If you pay for something you should be able to use it and not depend on a publisher supporting it for eternity. If they no longer want to support it, fine, then release the server software and let others deal with the headache.

Well, you could.
It's too bad that software that doesn't add terrible DRM models become uniquely easy to pirate, but they do.

didnt this already fail to gather enough signatures once? its a noce thought but gwtting people to give a shit about preserving games is a tall order

All that would do is have companies make weird loophole-y "multiplayer" games. Just singleplayer games with a leaderboard or ghosts or some shit.

Imagine if you could only play trackmania on mutliplayer servers. Its almost the exact same gameplay, but you can see other people's ghosts also trying the same track you're on.

Reminder that this cunt aka "Pirate Software" used his reach to throw shit at creator of the initiative and initiative itself
Used his platform to maliciously misrepresent the petition, saying it's demanding from game creators to upkeep game servers indefinitely instead of at the end of life cycle of game releasing to public the tools necessary to make the public upkeep the game servers itself. Thor aka Pirate Software is an industry plant, he's ex Blizzard and Amazon Games Studios employee, of course he's going to hate on this idea.

>>508764378 (OP)

I've been waiting for this to happen for years, not because I agree with it, but because the writing has been on the wall. People don't understand intellectual property as a concept, which is why they think piracy is wrong. Hopefully these entitled retards get absolutely nothing but waste all their time and energy fighting for it instead of annoying people with their other batshit ideas on the Internet.

Fugg it anything to punk the faggots at ea and jewbisoft

I hardly buy any new games anymore
Pic related was one of the best new games to come out in a long time
