So which games will stop releasing in the EU because of this?

>>509384043 (OP)
do you think dropping about 50% of your possible revenue is worth it though? I don't think it is.

/thread

>>509384043 (OP)
Any game that is not released in the EU because of SKG should have never released at all

>>509384043 (OP)
Any online-only slop, and good riddance.

>>509384043 (OP)
It's not a big deal to provide a local servers with bots, publishers just went in a full kike mode

>>509384044
you lost + got raped

>>509384043 (OP)
this has nothing to do with video game and everything to do with you being a faggot mongoloid addicted to eceleb drama kill yourself

>>509384043 (OP)
It will be a very tiny amount.
All the big ones DO have the resources to implement sunsetting mechanisms.
And I barely know of any indie live service games. Does realm of the mad god count?

>>509384048

I think this really shows what companies like the EU go through when you criticize them.

>>509384043 (OP)
none that will be missed

>>509384044
They already did, and clearly they want to shit up /v/ even more.

>>509384045
>EU
>50%
Try 20 and that's prolly generous.

>>509384057
it depends on the games
soccer games are very big in the EU but football or gacha games probably make less than 5% from the EU

>>509384057
They know what is on the table, you don't need to make up smaller numbers for them

>>509384043 (OP)
chai knees games

>>509384043 (OP)
No worthwhile ones.

>>509384043 (OP)
None really. They will hire a bunch of saars to code a server emulator and call it a day.

>5 threads nuked in under a minute
Seems like the 5 rupee check just cleared!

>>509384043 (OP)
The really bad ones like the occasional SEO american sites that refuses to serve euros due to GDPR.

Dedicated servers here we come.

>>509384043 (OP)
All not eurojank games will be banned

>>509384043 (OP)
my game

t. from EU

None. At best some old farts pretend to discuss is somewhere for 2 minutes and throw it in the trash and move on to other stuff.
That's how those usually goes with petition related stuff.

The ECI demands the politicians respond to it.

>>509384070
Ok i responded to your message now what?

>>509384043 (OP)
STOP THE COUNT

>>509384043 (OP)
None since regional pricing makes stellar blade without dlc 70€ in the EU while the € is stronger than the $.
They should ban gachas and lootboxes while they're at it and finally save gaming.

>>509384071
Are you a politician? Can I have your autograph?

>>509384043 (OP)
Games that are sold in the EU will be more valuable, and companies will stamp their games with applicable EU stickers just to market them. It's going to be the CE certification but for video games. It's incredibly obvious that this will happen.

>>509384067
Unlikely.

There's a push for IT regulation in the EU in light of the various burgerisms lately so this actually comes at a perfect time.

On topic, but not too hot. Perfect to try a few things in the field.

Lots of games that have 90% asian audiences who dont need europe. Thats mostly gacha though.

>>509384074
no but politicians are good at responding but doing jack shit

>>509384070
With any luck there might be a broader discussion of preservation but personally I don't hold out much hope

>>509384075
Sounds like EU games are about to double in price if they need to be made on a separate manufacturing pipeline.

>>509384057
>hmm... should we implement this feature that can earn us 20% more revenue
>or should we just lose this 20% sales for no good reasons aside of to spite the EU players?
Hmmmm...... truly a impossible choice

>>509384077
Imagine a world where gacha were confined to asia

>e-celebs making videos left and right
Not signing your shit anymore.

>>509384043 (OP)
most realistic scenario, none because making a small fix is better than avoiding half a billion potential customers
best case scenario, no more gacha games in the EU

>>509384082
the west version of gacha is shit like EA games

>>509384080
>separate manufacturing pipeline
Fancy words for no-drm patch and bundling the server.exe with the main one.

You could try selling it at 2x the price. Who knows - it might even work.

>>509384088

>guys instead of just changing how we sunset our online services, let's split our workforce in two and then develop two completely different versions of our games from the ground up

>>509384043 (OP)
just like how steam stopped selling to the EU to avoid refunds?

>>509384085
jealous? burgers take pride in corporations fucking them over and the state not intervening because it would be communism.

I wish I could access roaches discrod to see the insane brainstorming you have to come up with your bullshit takes.

>>509384096
>dude making an offline version of a game built from the ground up to be always online doesnt cost anything! Thats why so many devs already do it? Because it's super easy!

>>509384088
>Hmm.. should we design the game with the limitation in mind?
>Or should we not care about it until when we have to kill the game?
>Hmm... truly a impossible choice
>Also, 20% profits to implement a solution for that
Gee, you're either absolutely retarded or just a fucking shill.
I'm gonna go with both. You're a retarded shill.

>>509384099
>guys we're going to need a completely different version of our game if it's going to run on identical server hardware but in a different building

>>509384088
Not my problem, if new games are too expensive I'll just play old ones.

>>509384101
>dude world of warcraft could totally be made a single player offline game with a small patch

>Nooo you don't get it they'd have to develop server tools to give out
You guys do know multiplayer game developers make local server tools first so they can test shit?
You aren't this dumb right?

>>509384099
Alternate versions already exist, anon. Localizations, adjustments per region, etc.

those aren't production ready and contain many swear words and gay porn

Its literally a political movement. Why are you mad at being moved to where you belong?

>>509384102
>guys no we can't just allow people to run their own servers, I'm afraid we're going to have to insist that we include an offline mode in our always online game, yes I've already run this past the finance department and they are completely on board with this massive cost outlay, it's the only option we have

>>509384106
WoW would actually not be covered by the initiative as it is a subscription.

Yeah I knew the corpo bootlickers were all american.

>>509384162
>Its literally a political movement.
about what?

>>509384043 (OP)
None because its a huge market of 450 million people. All the corporations cuck out after threatening like Google and Meta.

>>509384080
You realize that already happens with other products and it's basically no skin off their back? And there's actual physical conformity there.
Just don't have a mechanism to revoke the license arbitrarily. It's really that simple. How the fuck are you shilling for not owning things you buy? Are you going to shill for eating bugs next because legislation against that would harm meat producers?

>>509384162
Btw
Whats politcal about wanting game preservation?

>>509384211
Your rights end where muh profits begin, this is publisher genocide!

>>509384109
Ms and apple only changed because it was more profitable to make a broader product. They could've just outspent little eu countries but they realized a USB c port would make them more money and save them on costs from making expensive proprietary lightning cables while also discouraging people from buying them because they dont work with chargers they already own.

You have TWO things to refer to, one of them being wrong, and the other one being a backfire
>Edge is more integrated into Windows than Internet Explorer ever was and can not be removed without breaking the system
>USB-C got developed by Apple, Apple was the first company to offer it and Apple was the first company to have an USB-C only device (MacBook Air). You force others to buy from Apple.

>>509384043 (OP)
same number as the companies that said they wouldn't sell in europe no more because of the cable standardization so none of them
every once in an eternity eu gives an actual good law or regulation by mistake, this is another one

Mods getting uppity doesn't change that fact that the initiative is hitting 1 million today

>>509384323
Tell it to wu kong. 90% of their sales are from Asia.

Games as a service is the most jewed shit ever. Its a product. Its a license of ownership at the point of sale, you are not entitled to take ot away or force a change(update) if I refuse

>>509384354
Really smashing it.

>>509384043 (OP)
The whole world toes the line every time the EU does something like this so I suspect the answer is none

>>509384447
Ubisoft & company don't get to dictate terms to us, Adolf.

>>509384354
btw. i signed the initiative, because it makes that furry faggot mad.
I loath the EU, but if i can abuse EU bullshit to make a homosexual furry mad with 20s of my time: I am all for it.

Looking at previous ECIs, where the people doing them even had to go to court and tried to sue the Commission for ignoring them, even thought they achieved almost 2 million signatures in one case... you are in for a big huge assfucking if you believe it changes anything.

I never owned a single Ubisoft game.
I don't like to get buttfucked, no matter if its a big corpor or big government.

That being said, Ubisoft got sued for that "The Crew" thing and that is going to achieve much more than a petition ever will. Ubisoft is a French entity and the French judges love to punish their own companies.
They already announced that it will be different for the next "The Crew" game.

>>509384704
>I never owned a single Ubisoft game.
that isn't a statement on whether you bought one or not

how about making StopKillingEuropeanRaces petition now? I wonder if it will be shilled as hard and endorsed by Your favorite e-celebs))) surely)))))))

>>509384043 (OP)
Thread so potent to the jewish corporations that dilating troon j*nnies couldn't handle it lmao

>>509384810
Sure, let me clarify that:
I never bought a single Ubisoft game. I never bought a temporary license to aa Ubisoft game.
The last time i made a microtransaction in a game was around 2014 or something in LittleBigPlanet.
I did not buy any game that released in the past four years and also no license to them.

Happy?

Hopefully western games will be cancelled because of this.

>>509385097
>company makes game
>to play game, you have to be connected to their server (even if it's a single-player game with no other online functionality)
>company shuts down server
>you can no longer play the game that you own
This initiative is to get the EU to pass law that will stop this from happening, it's a consumer rights issue and a property rights issue.
No company can unilaterally revoke your right to use property you have legally purchased.

Literally 0 games will stop releasing because of this. Unless the devs dont want money. Reosanably playable is not a hard requirement for studios, just give minimal server binary that has like movement and thats it, players can do the rest.

>>509385097
another one of those

>>509385097
To stop devs just turning on a switch that says No game anymore :-) you dont own anything and you will be Happy:-)

>>509385288
Load up Concord right now.

>>509385288
Everybody knows about piracy you monkey nigger, but you cant pirate a game that has all functionality on the developers server. You need to create your own servers i.e. mmorpg private servers

>>509385097
you buy a game today and you dont if you can still play it tomorrow
companies can just shut down the servers or make it unplayable because of some form of DRM and you get basically scammed and cant do shit about it because there are no laws anywhere to prevent something like that

ITS HAPPENING

>>509385346

we do not have this moralfaggot issue such as you deluded mongrel morons, and thanks to many russians you can download pretty much any game you like for free

just kill yourself faggot okay?

>>509384080
No, its just EU versions get to enjoy all their online experiences being p2p.

>>509385483
This is the best you can do? No arguments at all?

>>509385575
there is not a single game worth shit that is not available for free
and i mean any
back in the day u faggots used to gloat about how diablo cannot be pirated
10 years later i played it for free
you are just a man-child that probably does not even play or care about video games, you are just here because your eceleb told you to care
how about you take a rope and do it?
>>509385629
what do i need to argument against literal man-children that do not understand how real world works? go obsess over what ever your jewish master told you, i am so SURE that GOVERNMENT will save you
jesus christ EU faggots are just pathetic

>>509385679
>s-stop having consumer rights
No, I think I'll enjoy living in a civic society where the LAW backs up my right to property that I've purchased.

>>509384102
I had an mmo on ps2 that had not only a single player story mode but also a limited offline version of the online game included so you could test out what the online missions would be like

If a fucking mmo can do this then so can the next lootershooter or tower climbing simulator

It has many times, that's the beauty of the EU, they love stomping on these uppity corpos that try to fuck over consumers. If there's one thing the European Union is good for it's consumer rights.

>>509385815
It's not (You) being governed, it's the big corpo. Small governments should exist to govern big corporations, who try to shekel the populace. This is a step in the right direction, even if it disproportionately affects slop games that have trash drm/online services to begin with.

>>509385870
contrary to your propaganda we still have plenty of prisoners and central land asians to do that
>>509385889
