I understand that in your simple brain calling videogames "toys" makes the entire premise sound dumb, but people with a functional brain can recognise that this is a consumer rights issue in general, which just so happens to currently be manifesting in the realm of videogames in a disproportionate fashion.

And yes, they do still care about consumer rights even if there are bad things happening in the world. What kind of logic is this?

Also, it doesn't matter whether they care or not. Once it passes, they are legally forced to enter the process, and the process will take months or even years whether they personally think there are more important issues or not.

If we weren't able to discuss anything in politics other than the most important pressing issue then every parliament ever would be talking about how there are people who don't have access to drinking water and who starve to death, and nothing else would ever get discussed.

That reminds me, there is another initiative. which tries to ban meat from all shelves. (no joke)
under the guise of animal cruelty and sad faces, they want to end farming completely and its close to a million.

I see it as a problem, for a couple of reasons, one of them is personal. I have irritable bowel syndrome, and 'meat' actually helps prevent pain and get a normal stool. It also contains lots of b12, iron and other vitamins. Some people are completely dependent on meat and follow a so called 'carnivoric diet'.

Plenty of people want to eat meat; so- I honestly hope that one fails. I don't know where they got all their votes from, but probably already existing animal rights activists. I also think they automatically signed the petition there, rather than manual, by using data these groups had of their members.

I literally never heard of this petition here despite knowing animal rights activists, yet somehow they have 500% threshold on votes worth from my country.. sigh-
I think it goes too far basically.

I think there are ways to farm, without being cruel and keep suffering to a minimum, both for plant and animals. Sometimes its nessecary to farm animals for people.
A lot of european food cuisine culture also depends on animals; eggs, milk, etc. It would be devastating to tons of businesses as well as history and ... simply to the tourist industry as well. I suspect that one would lead to huge economic problems.

In any case, I hope it doesn't go anywhere. Not all ECIs are a good idea.

What do you idiots think happens when it reaches 100%? Maybe they'll consult a committee of industry experts who will explain why this whole thing is impossible, but probably they'll reject the idea long before that.

Peak dunning krugers. You have absolutely no idea about how gamedev works.

>>509253336 (OP)
just signed it

>>509256900
Best from what I can tell, it's going to be a hearing where experts from both sides can argue their points and the commission then goes into discussion over making new legislation or not.
I just hope that there are actual industry experts that get involved with this that can make the simple argument of "It was possible before" and "people have reversed engineered servers from scratch without middleware software" to counter the major points that publishers will bring forward.

>>509256900
>You have absolutely no idea about how gamedev works.
Are you looking at a mirror? Making games not require online services is very easy for most games

>>509257150

>>509256900
>What do you idiots think happens when it reaches 100%? Maybe they'll consult a committee of industry experts who will explain why this whole thing is impossible, but probably they'll reject the idea long before that.

World of Warcraft: Classic (the entirely of its code comes from Nostalrious)
FiveM
RAGE:MP
Star Wars Galaxies
Battlestar Galactica Online
Project Reality (Battlefield 2)
Venice Unleashed (Battlefield 3)
Kyber (Battlefront 2)

Even if they bring industry experts, they gonna bring from the opposite side which will means there are plenty precedents of private hosting of dead games (Like GunZ)

Even so if they cant release documentation, binaries, source code (Which EA did and they are 1000% the most scumbaggy company on Earth)
Private servers do exist but they can copyright struck them any time, any moment, if legal protections come from it, Companies will be forced to lose rights unless they relaunch the servers in a new version, which means new copyright

>>509257309
There are people who have worked on big games (I can find you a video of someone who worked on WoW/Warcraft III and another person who worked on Helldivers 2), but then there are also people who have worked with server architecture in non-gaming spaces, then on top of that smaller developers like Running with Scissors and the people who made Totally Accurate Battlegrounds.

>>509253338
this, the whole industry deserves a swift death as do gamer cattle

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

>>509257309
this, on side you'll have a senior gamedev with 35 years of experience in the industry vs Joe Chudnik, a 33 year old unemployed smelly gamer who lives with his mom

>>509257237
>Are you looking at a mirror? Making games not require online services is very easy for most games
Online games like MMO (lets say Star Citizen) use local hosting for launching servers, developers straight up showed and said that they slap the new stuff into their local server, hit an .bat and launch the server and then start their own client.

So it's not impossible to make the client of each player run its own server, its not different than Counter Strike 1.6

>>509257424
Another good example. Helldivers 2 runs the entirely of the game in client side, it just forces you to stay always online for the overall campaing progression and store, but the enemies are all client side. If you plug out your internet, it works perfectly fine.
Same with hitman 3 (got private servers)

>>509257150
>"people have reversed engineered servers from scratch without middleware software"

Don't you need X EU states to reach a specific threshold of signatures relative to population before it passes? For example if all signatures came from Germany France and Finland the petition fails because cunts like Belgium and Estonia didn't have 0.1% of the population sign it?

It's more accurate to compare it to owning a car, except the car runs by connecting to a server for some fucking reason, and then they discontinue the servers and your car shuts down.

Can I get a quick run down? Are faggots expecting game devs to pay for servers indefinitely on 10 year old games? Or are they demanding corpos give everyone their games for free after 10 years?

What is being asked that after game devs stop supporting always online games, they either remove always online DRM, or modify games in a way that allows running private servers for it.
The devs can even keep selling the cunt, as long as it still works in some reliable manner.

>>509259888
No, retard. All they want is the option to host locally so the game can continue even when all official support ends. Like games used to be before you were born.

>>509259888
It's asking devs to have to patch their games to not require a connection to their servers to work after they turn off their servers. It's left fairly open on how they can implement that from a small patch to remove a online check to straight up giving the server files so people can host their own server to play on

No, it means even more dedicated servers. Just instead of them being exclusively hosted by the developer/publisher, now anyone can host them privately.

Ubisoft is sinking their stock and company on purpose because shedding the dead weight of their libtard employees and their contracts in lieu of AI replacement is a good move on both economics and spiritual matters. They will then be left with many many undervalued IPs and the tools to remake Assassin's creed and whatever else without the libtard agenda and they will get rid of UBIplay or whatever shackles they put on to hamper their sales on PC. It is a bold move, but getting rid of their cancerous employees is the only way to ensure a profitable future. The remake of Assassin's Creed 1 will let you know this post was 100 percent accurate.

You have no idea what a dedicated server is. Back in the day pretty much all FPS games had dedicated servers that were privately hosted. A dedicated server just means that it's a machine that's set up only to act as a server. What you were talking about is peer2peer.

I think it would be good if publishers wouldn't be able to copyright strike servers of dead games for IP they own.

/v/ Trannies think that a Petition must be political and can't be associated with video games.

>>509261533
First of all, laws against companies change because people are angry all the time. You are a stupid child absolutely clueless about the world. Second, if the law changes due to the petition, they absolutely will be complying.

nobody is trying to convince you of anything. you don't make anything. you don't influence anything. you don't do anything. when did you last leave your house?

>>509261624
I didn’t make an argument. I’m explaining to you that chimping out in defense of corporations is a bizarre, pathetic strategy and makes your side look worse. Prattle all the meme replies you want, literally everyone can tell how mad you are

Do you think the entirety of DARPA is all DEI hires? There's still skilled professionals doing top work. Those skilled professionals are not on Twitch soliciting children to donate emotes with their parents' credit card. That's only something a poser Reddit bugman does.

>>509261719
you have no basis for a complaint. you weren't wronged in any way shape or form, you're just shitting and pissing your pants because companies aren't doing business the way you want them to. even if this makes its way to some official's desk (which it won't) it'll be promptly dismissed and laughed at.

>pro gamer and pro consumer streamer has the position of "Director of Strategy" within the marketing department at "Offbrand games" owned by local rat "Ludwig"
>becomes anti consumer friendly because his way of living is threatened but doesn't say anything
> weeks later sequel of live service game releases, its more pay to win and scummy than the previous release, with Always Online DRM

I wonder why

>>509261644
>I think it would be good if publishers wouldn't be able to copyright strike servers of dead games for IP they own.

The most logical outcome is that if they refuse to release any private server binaries, source code, etc... They will just outright lose copyright strike capabilities of dead games and the versions they run on, if they want to recover the copyright, they gotta launch a new version of the game...

For example.

EA shuts down Battlefront 1 and 2 servers.
Loses copyright against private servers
EA relaunches Battlefront 1/2 + adds new content.
EA regains copyright against private servers if they copy what they added AFTER the release date, if private servers copied the content EA added, they get a copyright strike, but the old version of the game counts as legacy... Similary how Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered are separate products.

I've personally made sure that like 10 people from Bosnia who have EU citizenship sign it, despite the fact that the last game they played was GT4. The great kikening of video games shall be halted.

>>509253336 (OP)
can I get a qrd on wtf this is? I don't play vidya

>>509262649
the qrd is that video games, despite being purchased, stop being available to the buyer once the service is discontinued, meaning the product the user pays for becomes unavailable despite having paid for it and this practice is therefor in opposition to consumer protection, not to mention how it would preserve video games from going away

>>509262648

ah, I get it. very obvious now. thank you.

>>509262405
damn that's pretty good.
we need to pump these number up

>>509262649
How it used to be:
>buy video game
>developer ends support/goes bankrupt
>don't care because you can still enjoy the game to this day

How it is now:
>buy video game
>developer ends support/goes bankrupt
>the game is gone forever and you can never use the thing you bought again

Based Ross: This is wrong and anti-consumer. We're going to change it.

Goldberg/stein/witz/etc: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP THE COUNT

>>509262525
Then whats the issue with making such "licencing" illegal?

>>509263142
Licensing allows them a legal loop that basically says that you dont own the thing you "PURCHASED" and has plenty buttons that says "BUY". It will define game purchases as "PURCHASES" rather than "LICENSING".

Because game companies been using the licensing term to rugpull games and cease them to be functional, like Splinter Cell Conviction and The Crew.

It wont make licensing illegal but It will prevent companies for making games into "Temporal licenses" when you paid 80 dollars for using it forever... It's practically dancing around the truth to say that you own what you paid for.

It's like if Elon Musk or any car manufacturer could steal your "Tesla" because they reached end of service, yet you cant get second hand parts and the software of your car (that makes the engine run and turn on) goes off, basically you own a brick.

>>509263142
the issue is that you have no case. it's like saying you want to make car rentals illegal because you don't like the fact that the dealership can take the car after your contract runs out. it's literally toddler tier thinking, which isn't surprising seeing as it's coming from career gamers.

Seething tranny moderator lmao

>>509263487
But I have case if it is made illegal.

>>509263487
>the issue is that you have no case
Then why are you guys so terrified? Why run this desperate 24/7 shill campaign against something you claim will fail?

>>509253338
NIGGA THATS NUTS

>>509263709
It wont make licensing illegal, but it will redefine games as a product rather than a license.

A car rental gives you a car for a temporal time. Not lifetime.

Games often go by "LIFETIME TEMPORAL LIMITED ACCESS LICENSE"

What the fuck is that, its basically a legal lingo to say you dont own your LIFETIME thing

>>509263487
I've seen you are a retarded memeflag. Not to be argued with because you are likely a shill. However, for any lurkers around. If a company no longer offers support for a product you buy, you are as a customer entitled to fix your product however you see fit, because you purchased it. If you merely purchased a licence to use said product temporarily, as the car rental example puts, the customer should be told in advance the duration of the rental contract. So they can make an informed decision instead of it being up to the whim of the company.
Paradox, as money-grubbing as they are, have the right idea to their HOI4 DLC rental scheme, pay, use a month, lose.

>>509263709
you can't make anything you dislike illegal, spurdo. you have to make a case why you're being wronged.

>>509264008
I know, but I'm just hassling that memeflag faggot.

if there wasn't the politicians should be making one in response to this petition.

>Create a subsidiary for every game
>Subsidiary licenses IP
>When game shuts down, they go "independent" and than bankrupt
>No one told hold accountable
>Repeat

It's a nice idea in concept, but they're just going to start using Hollywood structuring.

Absolute best case outcome is there's some third party that escrows servers binaries and will run them for payment. Because the devs aren't going to open source shit.

>>509265077
why?

>>509264176
....you have memeflags unfiltered?

>>509264722
There is for most other forms of transaction, including your car rental example as well as any form of rental or licensing. The limit to it is explicitly written beforehand, and in the cases that there isn't there is a caveat for an advance warning. Such as a homeowner evicting tenants in a legal way for any reason. The game industry getting updated with everything else is just a logical progression. Something you are unable to comprehend.
