TL;DW: >force companies to ensure people can play singleplayer offline and give out server software when games reach end of life, or at least make a big and obvious disclaimer that you won't be able to play the game after the publisher's server shuts down (like those health warning on cigarettes). This isn't difficult, this was standard fanfare 25 years ago.

why do people keep saying concord?
concord did the absolute minimum of refunding anyone who "purchased" this piece of shit

>>509375705
Based. Nobody can refute this.

Any year now Ross, surely your EU masters will save you…

Unironically, /v/eekend game nights on this travesty would've been beyond based.

When this fails, will I get a refund?

we need the government to regulate games, so that we get less games because game devs can't be fucked dealing with draconian laws. and yes this will somehow help games, because reasons.

Collectivists love to hate companies (who only get powerful by either having consumers buy their shit or petitioning the government via lobbying which is already immoral) but then venerate the government for initiating force on any productive person.
Newsflash pals, the government is the biggest landlord in your country, they nickle and dime you at every turn with taxes on both your income and every purchase you make. But it's totally "moral" when you get 1 out of millions of votes (while the government imports millions of people that outvote you) instead of being able to vote with your wallet.

death to jannies

I find this a bit silly. This is like the male version of a pussy parade. I don’t like games dying either but forcing companies to provide server software etc is a bit ridiculous.

Back to the /v/ containment, lil bro nobody cares. I swear you fucking man children with your little toys never learn.

Companies are expected to provide patches, why not the software?

>>509375931
>but forcing companies to provide server software etc is a bit ridiculous.

No, they get IP rights granted by the state, the least that can be asked in exchange is that if they want to torch and kill the product, tey have to give up the shit to allow people who bought it to still access it

>>509376111
if the game is still accessible then its by definition not 'killed', retard.

>>509376111
>>509376068
Is not even that, companies should give the people the possibility to host private server if they intend to discontinue the serivice on line games

>>509376196
they should because you said so, ok nigger.

>>509375931
I expect companies to leave their product in a functional state. The current state of the industry is like having a car manufacturer slash your tires after you pay off your lease

FUCK PIRATE SOFTWARE

>>509376362
We stopped giving support for Tesla, we are discontinuing the software, so you cant turn your engine on again.

>>509375699 (OP)
the sweden one should have an afro

>>509376362
stop buying games from incompetent developers then, retard.

you can't legislate game developers to be more competent, retard.

nigger.

>>509376068
Why should they?

>>509376111
I don’t see why you’re entitled to server software. Can’t you make your own?

>>509376402
You missed a comma.
It should say:
>FUCK, PIRATE SOFTWARE

Games are for children and faggots

>>509376362
So maybe it should only apply to games that are multiplayer only? In which case how do you differentiate that from any other discontinued service?

Tranitors ruin another thread

What happened to reverse engineering the code and making your own server software and new versions of the old software? That’s literally what my generation did. All my old games are still online. It must suck to have to appeal to a court just to keep your shitty Fortnite clone online.

how the fuck is this /pol/

>>509376606
Why shouldn't we legislate competence?
>>509376735
There's a number of single player games that have been bricked by EOS, like The Crew. It's not unreasonable to make developers consider their end of game lifecycle, considering pretty much ever other industry does it for their products

>>509376627
Why shouldn't they?

How is this political?

>>509376833
>Why shouldn't we legislate competence?
what sort of reddit niggerbabble of a sentence is that supposed to be

speaking against the ruling kike technocrat caste is considered a revolutionary, politically incorrect act.

Americans can't comprehend refusing to swallow cum on demnad, their ocuntry is a goypig ranch ruled by, among others, big tech.

>>509376273
They should because they sold a product to a customer.
Let's say that I sold you a car with location tracking (the car wont start unless it has access to these location services) and after 6 years I shut down the servers for location tracking for your model because maintaining these legacy servers is no longer profitable, you now have a bricked car.

>>509376606
>vote with your wallet
I'm sure it worked for the 12 million players of The Crew...

>>509376969
It means the government now decides what games you can play chud

>>509377076
Do you get paid by the post to defend game developers, or do they do a lootbox system for you?

>>509377336
the petition literally asks for the games industry to be ruled by technocrats, you europoor ESL retarded nigger

>>509377448
im literally a game developer who has coded and done qa for thousands of hours, go and learn to code faggot.

When you buy something in the EU it only needs to work for 2 years before breaking. Why should the rules be different for electronic toys?

>>509377352
theres literally a fan made project to revive the crew called the crew unlimited, you stupid nigger.

go gargle some more eceleb cum

Almost at the end :)
well done guys

>>509377641
who asked nigger

>>509377711
Didn't you just tell me to learn to code? Your unity scripts are probably getting pretty good, I can give you some pointers if you ask nicely

>I'm sure it worked for the 12 million players of The Crew...
The retards got exactly what they voted and paid for.
There're tens of thousands of games that run locally, no issue as long as you meet the hardware and software runtime requirements. If you really wanted to vote with your wallet, you should buy those games instead.
All you niggers will achieve is more legislation and more goverment for a fucking non-issue and ultimately will get almost nothing in return and pay a heavy price for it, including more taxes and less freedom.
If you bought *ANY* game that requires someone's else hardware and infrastructure to work, that's 100% on you. Any sort of SaaS(including GaaS) is doomed to end by fucking definition. If you don't like this crap and spent money on it, that's because you have a freezing point temperature nigger tier IQ. Fuck you.

>>509375699 (OP)
I'm just not gonna sign. live service slop isn't some cultural artifact worth saving, especially if it involves dragging the government into our vidya

>>509378065
voting with your wallet doesn't work

>>509378065
'Voting with your dollar' has not worked once since some jew came up with that expression to placate the goyim

>>509376833
Is single player available? I can understand if the game is always online, that’s bullshit.

>>509378171
then learn to code faggot and make your own games

>>509378317
make your own racing game then, you goddam lazy niggers

Someone can say your fav game doesn't deserve to be preserved because it's a shit game.
Is this a valid argument to you?
Someday in future someone might want to play a game they paid money for and I personally think it is unfair to remove access to game just because you personally don't like it.

>>509376606
Why are you spamming this entire thread in full-rage retard mode? You are not even European

>>509378065
>Any sort of SaaS(including GaaS) is doomed to end by fucking definition.
What if we change the law and make sure that publishers won't be able to pull the plug without leaving games in a reasonably playable state? That would be crazy...

Already voted myself in the first week of the campaign. Today voted with my dad's info, later on I will do the same with my sister and mother's info. Too bad grandpa and grandma passed away. Two more votes wouldn't hurt.

They should do it because the Population says so that is Democracy nigger.

The Government exists to serve the interest of the Population, i know currently it's to suck off a few guys while going against 98% of the will of the Population for Companies that thrive on importing foreigners to keep their Paper profits up.

What if I use a proprietary third party hosting solution for my game? My game is designed with this particular hosting solution in mind and would never work with anything else due to its high level of abstraction. This third party charge me the hosting costs monthly. At some point it's no longer profitable for me to keep the game running.

What now? Only that particular third party company can host the game and they're definitely not going to do it for free.
