I don't know why but Stop Killing Games doesn't sounds as gamer-friendly as its pretends to be and instead it sounds like another communist movement that demand more government authoritarianism. Besides the fact that this "consumer movement" is shilled so hard from game sites and youtubers is suspicious. Especially when said gaming sites and youtubers also shill for greedy game companies' practises and defend ESG-pandering to video games.

Also the fact that EU also shills for Stop Killing Games is way too suspicious. Same fucking EU that treated Gamergate as a misogynist, racist, terrorist movement. Same fucking EU that use European citizens' tax money to fund ESG-pandering video games. Same fucking EU that bans and censors "problematic" video games.

Also from all serious issues that video games industry has, why should I care more about dead online games? And why should I care about dead online games in the first place? It's like demanding from a restaurant to not shut down just because you want to keep eating there instead of just going to another restaurant.

Most of them die soon or later. Even big budget ones by Sony that only last for two weeks. Gatcha games also have same fate: if they're not big hit, they shut down in just few months even if they use a popular brand. There's a reason Nintendo stopped caring for mobile phone games the moment they released Switch and it printed money. Also the timing was perfect since few years later the mobile phone games bubble finally ended.

its a retarded idea that would only make things worse for gamers. you have to be retarded to think it is a good idea. you're never going to get games that are playable forever. they are not gonna give you their server code. you are just going to be forced into a timed-license model

God I hate gamers. Insufferable man-children.

Been pirating all my life, not going to stop

>>509217649
Your right. The government involvement preventing dumping of toxic waste into rivers and not allowing people to shit in the street is communism too.

All the games I care about are older games at this point so they can be easily pirated or there is an open source implementation of the game engine and assets. If modern games were any good and they are trash then maybe I would care. You couldn't get me to care about modern games

This is very much an issue of theft and fraud. If buying isn't owning then pirating isn't stealing. They sell us a game, they make us believe we're owning a game, they do everything possible to make you believe this, but in reality it's actually a dated concert ticket. Sell me a concert ticket if that's what you want to do and the fact you can tell they understand this because they fight tooth and nail trying to stop regulations that would force them to write this up front.

This is the most millennial soi infused reddit phrase on the internet, yours is just a contrarian faggot version. :)


Well it's definitely not theft because I don't own the game, you can't steal something that can't be owned.

>Game companies ruin their games with ESG-pandering, rushed releases full with bugs, overpriced, half of their content and more being locked behind paid DLCs, day one patches that censor their "uncensored" remakes, big budget games that look worse than mediocre low budget PS3 games, video games banning you forever just for saying a "mean" word once etc

picrel really upsets the /v/edditors too.
none of that gay shit matters to a game when the default state is to just torrent a game
the real problem is that the actual developers are illiterate, unread, uncultured, talentless freaks that couldnt recognize a good game if it was fucking them in the ass.

>r*dditors losing their shit over online games being shut down
Just play actual, offline games, retards. Offline games last forever and they're easy to be pirated.

>>509218216
you're being disingenuous on purpose, industry shill. every game now is an online game since that's how they sell you their shitty lootboxs and gay battlepass bullshit

It is moral and justified to pirate videogames that don't have an EOL plan that leaves the game in a resonably playable state, since if buying isn't ownership, then piracy isn't stealing

>>509218670
That's not what I said lmao. Also pirating doesn't work if they embed all the game logic into server code you fucking retard, this impacts you too.

>>509218900
Also, unlike online games, you can actually own offline games. Unless you're a retarded consoomer who spends money on renting Steam games.

>>509217756
Consider.
I buy a single player game. That game should belong to me forever.
However, with steam bullshit, if that game has drm or online activation, I dont own it: as soon as the company wants they can take it away from me.
Which means that I dont own it.
And I'm not a fan of not owning things I purchase. So kill yourself as of now, rat.

qrd

>>509218975
>if they embed all the game logic into server code
Not my problem. You should try playing good games and not supporting multiplayer/mmo canceraids that killed video games in the first place.
I hope your online games keep getting shut down, your reddit tears and reddit movement are fun to laugh at.

>>509219050
>Buying Steam games
Your fault, retard. Either pirate them or buy them at GOG or Switch.

>>509219097
so you're really just doing some unhinged rant, okay, it's actually incredible because if this is really your opinion "Stop Killing Games" doesn't impact you and if anything you should support it because it rapes the companies you hate so much
sorry about the brain rot anon, maybe the early alzheimers will make you happier

>>509218790
no, you won't.
you will be forced into either a game pass type subscription or timed licenses, you will be paying full price for a 1 year license on steam. if you're lucky companies will just circumvent the rules by releasing multiplayer portion as a free dlc. cant complain when something free stops working

>>509218829
I know it seems crazy and outlandish, but I quit the industry just before covid because this exact reason.

It's cultural rot. Western developers at the lowest level are incapable of creating good games because they haven't read any amount of good fantasy literature and have never played a good game in their life. They have nothing to inspire them to be creative or competent.

Yes, steam becoming a monopoly is a problem, however, I used it on my example because, lets be fair, few people use alternatives unless Humble Bundle does something interesting
problem is, corpos invented a worse type of drm cancer and they will try their best to shove down everyone's throat.
Piracy is not on its best moment, so I'd rather exercise consumer rights while I still might have any than have to rely on the mercy of corpos when piracy is dead.
However this convo is going to be over soon because Maldavius Fagtree has sent the CP spammer to destroy the thread.

>>509219281

You're just mad that you can't crack his DRM. It's funny because he actually doesn't have any DRM software, he just uses the Steam Achievement system to record progress so if you don't have a valid Steam key you don't save your game.

Will this effect games retroactively? I understand it would be impossible for certain titles, as the studios are completely dissolved, but what of things like Babylon's Fall? Or is it just flatly going forward?

>>509219381

Not sure what denuvo has to do with this, it isn't related to online games going offline, it's drm protection against piracy of offline singleplayer games

But you're not buying the Company that Makes the game, you're just buying their Product.

>>509219639
>>what is denuvo
Something that had its way paved by the slippery slope of steam setting the precedent of making mass adoption and end-level customer popularity of DRM successful.

>>509219747
Bery few laws work retroactively. Most likely it would be only going forward.

>>509219687
What a fucking retarded analogy.

Games were an escape from all this bullshit...Government control,woke bullshit,and political agendas should not be in any game at all...Newer games seen to be lacking in a lot of things,especially being fun to play.It's all about the newest Unreal 5 graphics and not much substance...It's all just for profit now like video cards...

>>509219784
Its related to ownership, anon. At the core of this is the intention to keep owning and using what you paid for.
Not to mention that if servers go down you lose the game, be that online or offline.

>>509219896

There is no intrinsic misunderstanding of how a restaurant operates and what you get when you buy a meal. For example, if I buy a meal at a restaurant, someone doesn't come 10 minutes after I get my plate and take away my plate before I'm done eating. Game Developers absolutely want you to believe that you will have access to that game and anything you bought inside it for as long as you want. The entire practice operates on fraud and withholding information from users.

>>509219989
Denuvo has a yearly licensing fee, if a company goes under it's not going to keep paying a license, and if the company goes under it's not going to affect your ownership of an offline game either. Denuvo is used for offline games. again not sure what it has to do with anything

>>509219896
Even re-releases of old, niche Japanese games aren't safe from this shit even in fucking Japan. And yet Japanese companies have the nerve to complain about piracy. That's why I rarely play modern games. And of course I don't touch any modern "remakes", "remasters" etc (with few rare exceptions).

And also this cringe reddit movement has an almost identical overlap with that net neutrality soi shit from last decade.
