STOP KILLING GAMES!!!!

>>508784869 (OP)
kek i just recently learned about this cringe. basically some retard is angry that the video game industry shuts down live service games after a while. i played an online only game one time it was called War of the Roses. it was super fun, super hilarious, and i was actually pretty good at it. paradox interactive eventually shut it down. why? i dont know. and i dont care. imagine having a life such that you seethe over a game getting shut down even though you pAiD fOr iT? how many games, how much reeeing and seething has occurred since then? complaining about games one has paid for that did not get shut down but they still hate. the woke shit grift alone has fed gaymers with enough fodder for the past 10 years.

>stop trying to protect consumer rights

>>508785290
For multiplayer games, yeah who cares, but it sucks when they do it for single player games.

This shit is retarded. Do I miss play ing phantasy star online (the first one)? Yes. Do I wish I had been a NEET faggot so I could grind that game like crazy back in the day? Yes. Am I going to crash out over that? No.

Disappointment is a part of life (ask you AI gf), get used to it.

lol a gaymer is an amorphous blob, both literally and figuratively.. they bounce from game to game, from genre to genre, from review to review. just as film buffs suffer when they watch a really bad movie, so too does the gaymer when their game sucks, is ruined, or shuts down. their consumer rights are fine, in that they have "libraries" literal lists (or even shelves) of 1000s of games. their rights are not harmed in the slightest as they have no argument against losing anything. gaymers are the most conspicuous consumers on the planet, sometimes even rivalling niggers

Sounds like you didn't learn much about it then, because you're not even close to right.
The movement isn't about things like Fortnite, which are live service games. Those are games that receive regular updates to keep players coming back to experience, and pay for, new content. This obviously could not be sustained without constant developer contributions, and once the devs move off the project the game cannot be supported further.

What #stopkillinggames is about is single player games, or games that can otherwise be run from a single computer, getting erased from the internet when the servers go down when the servers were never essential to the game functioning in the first place. This shit started with games like Diablo 3, which required you to be logged into a blizzard service and maintain a constant internet connection even when playing single player locally or the game would shut you out. This practice has only become more common over time, and when the company stops supporting the game or goes under or whatever else causes an interruption of service, the game you paid for vanishes into thin air despite this being an easily avoidable outcome.

The scope of #stopkillinggames also extends beyond video games itself, and the common consumer has a stake in this working even if they never touch a video game in their life. Because whats really being fought over here is: how are the mercy of tech companies are you? What are you entitled to when you pay for a product? Why are we settling for *temporary* access to a product that can be taken away from us at any time when we pay full price for software, when having permanent access used to be the norm? This damage has already spread to other things people use, like how Microsoft Office is a subscription service now instead of a one and done purchase.

retarded mutt, there's no reason why war of the roses needed to shut down, they could've just provided the server binaries and continue to profit from sales of the game

Yeh, I don't give to much of a shit about game developers and their creations.

>>508784869 (OP)
Hey kike if someone buys something it belongs to them. The anger is justified.

>>508785390
consumer right to what? force game devs into slavery maintaining a live service server for the rest of their lives?

>>508788293
literally no one ever said that. if you dont know what you're talking about then just pipe the fuck down retard

>>508788364
it's unironically literally what you are saying without all the extra pilpul to hide what you're saying

>>508785290
Keep coping, you can't even sign it, lmao stupid mutt

>>508784869 (OP)
I don't really give a shit. I grew up in the golden age of gaming and we never made a big deal about it, called ourselves "gamers", or played 24 hours a day. Fuck you and your gay little cult.

Very fine GPT post.
Also it's about all games that could be shut down by the publisher, not just singleplayer ones.

There was a dude who made content for Chilvary 2 and one time he complained about the game having cheaters and the devs heard about it and banned the dude from the game. Shortly he committed suicide.

lmao is the idea that programmers ship a local server in the games you buy (and own) so that you can run your game without relying on an internet connection or an external provider. The movement advocates for freedom and independency from big globohomo third-party providers.

Back in the day, local server being shipped into your games was normal and expected because an internet connection should not be necessary to run standalone software. What if you don't have internet? What if the company that created the software shuts down alongside the datacenters?

the whole thing is people demanding going back to a normal kind of customer service where you own what you buy.

When that Accursed Farms dude came out with the idea I instantly knew it was stupid and naive.
What was he thinking.

>>508791501
The thing is the whole dedicated server thing was way simpler back then.

Because today bad software is the norm.

We are witnessing a bloated industry who races into production without taking into account quality. Today Product Owners are constantly searching new ways to produce profit and the generation of artificial scarcity with this kind of behaviors is perfect for them because makes the people to be eternally dependent of them. The idea of a piece of digital asset totally free in the hands of the customer terrifies them because it renders them unnecessary to enjoy the product.

Given the right conditions, information and digital assets can last virtually forever, it's the old philosophy of automobile manufacturing: A good vehicle you buy can last for decades with proper maintenance. Today, companies are looking for an acquisition cycle, through lives services, planned obsolescence or NFTs.

>t. Didn't read the FAQ

>>508788293
Why does a single player game need to be live service in the first place?

Im surprised /pol/ doesnt see the potential of this initiative
this isnt just about games, when this goes through its going to slam open the door for all digital """ownership""" kikery especially in the software market or shit like "buying" movies on streaming platforms

I understand his last video is him crying because a live service game he likes is being shut down.

His posture on the matter is absurd because he has ties with a company that operates under the live service business model.

Nothings gonna happen except maybe in Europe because they love government intervention. At most they will just very explicitly state that this game has an expiration date. All video games have done is changed their model from "your own copy, play forever" to "access to play". Its no different from other time sensitive access to entertainment like seeing a movie in a theater, play laser tag, etc. You are now paying to access a virtual venue to play a game instead of owning it. If this sort of transaction was unacceptable then consumers wouldn't buy it but the majority do not care. If you're not part of that majority then tough shit, go find a different company that will offer you what you want. Its insane to want the government to force a seller to give you a better deal just because you don't like the deal being offered, for a non essential entertainment product of all things.

I hope all games become unplayable and the industry dies completely
wish I could take back the thousands and thousands and thousands of hours...
