I feel like he fell off the face of the Earth after the one-two punch of shitting on SKG and then roaching in HC WoW.

The whole thing probably blackpilled Ross like crazy. But if he paid attention to modern gaming as a whole this was all a long time coming.

It never was going to succeed. Ross is just bitter that Thor pointed out the holes in his movement and blames him for all of his own failings.

Take your (you) and kill yourself.

4chan really is nothing but shills and bots now, huh? Ross rules, and you're gay if you don't like him.

Liking his game dungeon videos doesn't mean I can't think he's a retard for making this petition

Does this mean we get more than 3 Game Dungeons (two are Halloween and Christmas) a year now?

who?

>>713441553
Jaded cynicism is so boring and played out. We're born to die; every battle is ultimately pointless. The point is in where you put your effort, do you might as well do what you believe is right, especially when it comes to standing up to corporate greed.

>>713441259
You didn't even watch the video. little thor was btfo, cope and seethe

>>713441617
you get one extra per year because one game dungeon is spent on government shit and the other is spent on The Movie

Point of the movement

What /v/ thinks the movement is
>COMPANIES SHOULD KEEP UP THESE OLD GAMES FOREVER! SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR COMPANIES!

I don't really blame Pirate that much for this even though I hate him and wish him nothing but the worst, I kind of blame Trump.
SKG was struggling to get peoples' attention during Biden, a comparatively "boring" administration. The current one is going out of their way to draw attention and freak people out like every week. SKG regaining momentum was a long-shot before the political circus arrived. Afterwards the thought of it breaking out enough for people to engage in some activism over it was impossible. Too much overwhelming shit happening.

The amount of people I see saying shit like
>yeah but the game wouldn't work without a central server
in regards to SKG is infuriating. That's the fucking point you mongoloid, the game WOULDN'T work without it, so let's stop making games reliant on a central server.

If this guy was attractive then SKG would have passed

>>713442639
>>>you should release private intellectual property (((for free)))
It's all in the AI anyway, I don't know if you've noticed but IP doesn't exist anymore, everything you do is going into a database and everyone can copy it by paying the database owners.

I guess gamers just don't like being able to play their games.

>>713442946
are there that many fags and women in gaming?

>biggest actor against SKG is a furry retard that probably stole breast milk during his time at blizzard
Can't make this shit up.

>>713442180
I doubt it would have gone through either way regardless of people becoming distracted though. It's hard to get people to give a shit about anything other than immediate convenience.

He lost like 75% of his viewers after getting exposed and is now basically a lolcow.
He lost all credibility. No one takes anything he says seriously.
He's now known as "that one Nepo baby who hasn't accomplished anything on his own but speaks on every subject like he's an expert despite knowing nothing, and who cheats while streaming games and is a huge narcissit and chronic liar

oh wow lmfao anyway you fuckers gonna do shit about us nuking iran LMFAO lil bro thinks he's ppl drink ur milk

>in the future you will own NOTHING and you will like it
today it's corpo greed trying to control video games and other digital software, but in 25 years it'll be corporations attempting to control everything in our lives. every product will be a temporary license, you won't own anything, and every thing you buy even down to your fucking toilet paper is going to be deeply controlled and regulated by the corporations

at the risk of sounding gay, SKG is like the last gasp of a society who was born outside the hyper-capitalist system trying to defeat it. this is the most effort anyone's put into defending consumer laws and if this failed, no future campaigns to improve consumer protection laws will succeed, and our fate is sealed. we will eat the bugs, live in the pods, own nothing, and like it. our society is doomed.

>>713443390
>75% of his viewers
25% still supporting him is a concerning number.

If there was any doubt /v/ is infested with AAA marketers and shills these threads are proof. The only reason to be against SKG is if you are a room temp IQ troglodyte or on a corporate payroll.

>>713446004
the guy is an enormous retard. right after he got his dungeon group killed, he logged onto that other MMO he was shilling, made a mistake that got the raid wiped, immediately threatened to kick whoever was responsible, then started backpedaling when people pointed out he was the one who wiped the raid, coming up with a dozen gay excuses on how it wasn't actually his fault

he's a huge faggot and surprise, huge faggots flock to his streams because they don't know any better

holy shit is that gordon freeman

>>713440292 (OP)
this should have been a broad-based movement called Keep Servers Alive that affected all SaaS. calling it Stop Killing Games, a misleading name which doesn't actually express the goal, and making it only about games is what caused the movement to fail because people hear the name and immediately dismiss it as gamer manchild shit that can be safely ignored.

>>713445850
>It was literally the 2nd most popular EU initiative of the year.
Imagine bragging that you're the 2nd biggest loser. I hope they shut down another shitty ubislop game just to make fun of that smelly retard and his dumb petition.
>>713446312
It was a stupid petition made by someone who doesn't understand the industry. There's bigger problems that need fixing before everyone drops everything to make sure some youtuber can make a 3 hour long slop video about a dead racing game. Ross is exhibiting sociopathic behavior for even trying to get people to make legislation about this shit while there are kids starving in Africa and there are people dying in wars and anti semitism is on the rise. Fuck him.

Definitely shills. They've been working from a script ever since these threads started. Don't for a moment think that publishers, especially Ubisoft in this case, won't spend resources on combating these initiatives. After all, we already know that real, actual shills are paid to post on 4chan

>>713446312
It's summer and current year 2016+9, over 75% of 4chan is made up of zoomers who have literally never played a video game that didn't have DLC or an online server to connect to

remember how when diablo3 came out and it forced an online connection, how it was massive major gaming news that overshadowed the whole game? because back then the people playing diablo3 were old geezers who played diablo2 and remembered what it was like to own your games and have full control over them

now I would like to point out to you that diablo4, which came out 11 years later, also forces an online connection to play. how many news articles pointed this out? how many people got upset over it?

none. fucking none. because the people who remember how digital consumer rights have become eclipsed by babies who were born into the system and don't comprehend what it was like before.

Have you considered just not being a perpetual cry baby? 11 years ago internet connections were flakier so naturally people got a little mad about the diablo 3 always on connection. Now if your home internet goes down you can literally just turn your phones hotspot on and keep playing. Your boomer offline bullshit lost the same way the horse and buggy lost. You're a relic of a time forgotten, either move on or accept your an old and gay fossil.

He already did a thing on him. I meant more like a "THE FASTEST RISE (AND FALL) OF A YOUTUBER" "DISGRACED" with a thumb of piratesoftware and cropped gay furry porn. Easy 5 mil views for the dramatuber and it wouldn't be a stretch to fit in a 2 min explanation of the petition inbetween vineboom sound fx of Ross saying he's dumb.

Perhaps it was just too early. As more games start to die and more people become aware, the more likely it is that something will be done about. Remember how EA fucked up loot boxes in Battlefront 2, leading to a bunch of laws being passed because the case was so bad that it reached lawmakers on its own

He didn't even make it to court. That would actually require actual effort. He made a petition and then milked his shut-in NEET gooner audience to sign it and make videos about it so that he could make money off the advertising revenue. He's a demon.

You have no idea who Ross is

This whole thing was a ploy by The Mould to infiltrate the EU parliament.

Are you fucking retarded?
Okay, imagine Overwatch 3 comes out and it's such a massive flop it kills Activision Blizzard somehow, they shut down the servers and all of their always online games die. No more Overwatch, no more WoW and Wow Classic, no more Warzone, no more Diablo
This is the complaint. If a game company ceases to have their servers function why is MY money stolen. For WoW at least you can say it's a subscription service. But Diablo shouldn't need internet access for 90% of its content so why is the server side connection required?

i guarantee you that bethesda is pissed they established their games as being the quintessential modern moddable PC game because now they can't charge you $4.99 for a 20% exp boost in Elder Scrolls 6 when a console command can do it for free. can't sell a bikini skin for the new booby waifu follower if a modder will do it for free. I ASSURE you that the suits at bethesda have been wracking their brains for years trying to come up with a way to implement this without losing their entire consumer base. that whole "paid mods" fiasco was just the beginning, that was probably just a dry run for what they'll implement by the time elder scrolls 7 is released.

In all fairness that IS how normies think and you absolutely have to cater to them when it comes to shit like passing laws.
I can appreciate Ross at least said "Yeah I know. I suck. But I'm all there is."

MAYBE SOMEONE WITH MORE CHARISMA AND BRAINS SHOULD TRY THIS AGAIN WHEN THE NEXT SHUTDOWN HAPPENS (Hitman is most likely to have the biggest impact)

Freedom won.

Vote with your wallet doesn't work like that at least without significant public backlash. Sad but true. It's like signing petitions, unless a lot of people a billion minus one it then there's not gonna be too much effect to the bottom line and as you can see the idea has been normalized among too many of the gaming audience

>>713448892
>Because you willingly gave them money while knowing the consequences.
Actually, plenty of people don't know the consequences, because the majority of gamers haven't experienced it themselves. Also, a lot of kids buy video games. Consumer laws are needed because otherwise consumers get fucked in the ass, as proven by all the pro-consumer laws that are already present in society

>>713449308
You still license said installers and the second they revoke it by banning you you're basically at the mercy of it being entirely economically unfeasible to sue you for retaining them.

>>713446312
You are forgetting that there are also people who want to watvh the board burn and pretend to be shills because its easy (You)s.

it was worth giving it a shot. i'm glad i did my part and even shilled it to my friends and socials.
in the end, the game was rigged from the start
future generations will rightfully blame us for failing to defend our consumer rights in the digital era

Unlike Ross, I would actually be happy if this killed the GaaS faggotry.

What's your favorite game series, anon? I'm going to send a letter to the publishers to let them know the financial benefits of housing everything on a server so they can shut it down and force you to buy the next one when it comes out, while simultaneously adding loot boxes and pay walling features in the last game. But that's fine, right? You just wouldn't buy it. No skin off your back. And when the next series does it, and the next one, that'll be fine too. When everyone does it because sheep will buy it anyway and it makes them more money, you just won't buy anything. That's what winning looks like.

This belongs with Right to Repair

>>713449687
>But it's almost impressive how dishonest that pirate software faggot is.
He MUST be a paid shill. At one point he thinks that Ross' campaign would attempt to make all MMOs from multiplayer to singleplayer
>quote PirateSoftware: "What would you do if Final Fantasy XIV shut down? You'd have to re-balance it to become a single-player game. What would you do, make every raid soloable?"
this absolute retard played classic WoW for a living, and i KNOW that he knows what a WoW private server is. obviously if Ross' campaign won, and FFXIV shut down one day, people would use the provided source code to run private servers.

so PirateSoftware pretending that that wouldn't happen and instead saying "they'd have to spend hundreds of dev hours rebalancing the game to be single-player" is either the most retarded take ever or he's being paid by corpos to spread misinformation.

>oh the industry will die

>>713446928
How many of those votes do you think were people genuinely thinking by mistake "Finally no gay propaganda", judging by how retards around the world were interpreting SKG?

This was what really pissed me off, I follow of bunch of random youtube gaming channels and not one, NOT ONE of them put out a video in support.
There would be the odd twitch question and they'd always respond like "yeah I really agree with what he's doing I think it's a good thing" but I never saw any action from any of them, big or small, to actually push people to signing the petition. It makes me sick, no-one actually cares.

Look, if if's purely mmo crap then yeah, people should know what they are getting into and it's hard to justify doing anything about it.
But if game has singleplayer component and it's still tied down to the company server and they shut down then that shit should be opposed. As well as avoided.

More or less accurate. Older gamers phased out when they saw how gay the industry was getting. That's why the current industry acts so surprised when they get the mildest of pushback. They're used to their customers being the perfect consumers, they're not supposed to have standards

Because so far, since its beginning, theres been NO reason for this to not pass. And these shills sure as hell wont tell you what dire consequences they "fear" might happen. Instead they will seethe about the bottlecaps again to deflect, without ever answering the question.

As if they don't currently

>>713451184
This. When they are of hating us Indians, you surely know they were lose.

I wonder how many of the piratesoftware dicksuckers who even understand that an always-online game that can't be played without an external server. Actually requires more work to make than a game that can also be played lan or whatever.
The latter is the fucking default. Gutting that stuff out of the game is the extra stuff. It's not that you'd put it in, it's that you just wouldn't remove it in the first place.

You guys are pretty retarded, not gonna lie.
Also, admittedly I haven't kept tabs on it, but did Mold Mann at all touch on the fact that it's already completely legal and there's zero recourse for developers to ACTUALLY prevent you from running games, and that the legal distinction in America is that it's specifically illegal to try to circumvent drm, specifically, because the law as it already exists would make it illegal for companies to try to prevent the reverse engineering of software to maintain its functionality?

>>713451221

They kind of are already doing this with Steam, but /v/ is not ready to admit this because there are too many gayben cock suckers here.

>>713452347
besides the ones that don't, as anon points. I know Warband, at least, doesn't actually need Steam to run, but to my mind this is still inferior to GoG where you can buy the installer too. But of course better than to be forced to use the launcher.

>>713440991
He lost his mana to keep going in life. So sad.

>>713442946
It clicked when Ross started talking about this Thor faggot and playing his clips. People with excellent speaking voices get to do whatever the hell they want. Ross has a bit of a lisp and a higher pitched voice, so even when he's speaking sound logic it doesn't stick for most people. Thor has a deep, booming voice with fantastic diction, so even when he's speaking absolutely retarded horseshit, it comes across as believable. It's incredibly frustrating.

>>713452229
Team's doing literally the opposite. I have games on my steam account the publishers have completely pulled from other platforms that I can still download and install whenever I want. If I bought The Last Remnant on any other platform and ever Uninstaller it to save space I'd be SOL if I ever wanted to replay it, Steam is the only reason I don't have to keep a personal copy archived to have access to a game I bought.

>>713441423
been like this for years

>>713452460
I do pirate them, yes.
Not many because most games are shit or pozzed or boring, but yeah, if it's likeable and on only Steam I will pirate.

>>713452412
You can keep crying about it, but actual people are going to have zero sympathy for you retards being on of the biggest fucking cancers on online game discussion.
>>713452524
As the implementation goes, you actually aren't, because Steam's DRM is designed to verify if someone actually paid for a game, not rob them after an arbitrary period of time after their purchase. Again, you don't actually know what you're talking about.

I do know, because I know that Steam doesn't give you offline DRM free installers, the thing that I actually want.

>>713452698

Why would I need sympathy? My side didn't just get BTFO.

>>713452793
>I do know, because I know that Steam doesn't give you offline DRM free installers, the thing that I actually want.
An entirely arbitrary metric meant to make GOG's deal sound better.
Portable versions of software are a thing, and there's quite a few of them on steam.
Mostly because (as gamers) independent developers know it's annoying to have to reinstall an entire ass game.

This campaign was so cursed even the jannies were against it.

>>713453039
It's more annoying to be to be on devs time and their shitty updates to break mods and such so I basically have to wait for years when they drop support of the game to play in peace.
I want to control software I have and use it on my time and continence.

He's not your real dad.

Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.

It's hard to imagine or admit for those with any sense, but the meme was right about what pretending to be idiots does.
There are in fact people genuinely poisoned by a decade of irony like those conditioned into pathological lying from their environment. Except unlike a liar who feels shame from those they don't mean to deceive, eventually leading to recognizing, admitting and possibly attempting to reconcile their behavior, a contrarian has no such sense. In fact they feel increasing contempt the more they're confronted with their neurosis and seek to insulate themselves from that.

Ask around enough and you'll hear from someone you know about someone they know with that sort of shitty behavior, and if you look into said person you'll find they congregate to and with likeminded delusional nutters they can vicariously live through and receive back pats from.
What seems extreme to even those like us is not only normal, but ideal to them and the more cases like this they can spitefully subject others to that the better for them. Due to social media fusing so much with real life it's not going away anytime soon.

I guess then I should clarify that I want DRM free installers + the game (or sing player portion of it if it has MP also) to run offline.

It doesn't matter what legal crap says, I am talking about pragmatic down to the ground situation for me as a user. With GoG or piracy I can get the installer and just use the shit offline, only download is online side.
And it's what I want for games.

This voice is fake btw, the same way that vtubers use higher-pitched voices to sound more cute. His real voice is pretty mid

>>713453878
Basically one of the first major promotions that Pirate Software nigger did was paying that mat pat game theory guy to promote his game as "the next undertale" but not actually link it or mention it in the title of the video, this was an entirely cynical decision meant to piss people off who played Undertale and get someone who actually gives a shit about games to promote it for him by getting Toby to chastise the gay theory guy online and drag attention to it.
MatPat is still a faggot, but in this particular case, he literally just straight up got fucked by an advertising client (Pirate Software), and took a massive reputational hit to promote a piece of shit early access walking simulator bootleg of an existing popular game that people actually like.
It is honestly probably up there in the top 10 scummiest things ever done in the industry to me.

>>713454262
I mean the entire system for post visibility (karma) is designed around destroying wrong think.

Piratesoftware geting BTFO aside, it's sad to hear how frustrated he sounds at the start. Man really tried everything possible under the sun and yet couldn't reach his goal. 99% of people would never put such efforts into their beliefs as much as he did. You would think with how much "gaming is dead/bad" is such a popular sentiment people will jump head first into a chance to improve things even a little. But nah, why put out the fires when you can complain about it instead?

>>713451710
but iranians die in Iran, not the other side of the planet? what does this have to do with thor being a faggot? are you brown and muslim?

>>713454515
I agree that Karma is a problem, but the biggest issue is the moderators deleting posts based on some arbitrarily criteria, cooperate interests, or some chronically online internet drama you need to be on three different Discords to understand.

So, even if you're post does survive the 'Darwinian' process, it could still get axed because some neckbeard had a bad day and thinks you're trolling.

>>713447473

The movement could technically be started again, which is a plus. The issue is that it has to be made by someone else per the EU's criteria for Initiatives.
If someone remakes it I hope it's retitled to concern Software Regulation because then you can rope in corporations into liking it.
E.g. Wanna support your obscure shitty software but the software provider discontinued their DRM in 2015 and never patched it? Well now they need to patch it for the future. Just make a point that it should also cover software targeted toward entertainment such as video games as long as it is paid for.

Reminder that he tried to redeem himself by streaming his therapy session with Dr k, and Jason was such an unlikeable narcissistic trash bag that Dr k crashed out on him, basically calling him a subhuman. "The way you act, it's not how humans behave. It's like there is something missing in you"

Aside from the very first one, literally none of the videos about the campaign got more views than his usual Game Dungeon/Freeman's Mind videos.
He's been far less productive on GD/FM since starting this campaign. He's actively hobbling himself financially by focusing on the campaign as opposed to the videos that made him popular.

In short, you're a turboretard.

>>713457147
>you not buying things has a stronger influence than you think, demoralization is for faggots you may not see change right now or tomorrow but your actions feed into a greater whole that benefits everyone
it's not demoralization, just being realistic really. For any kind of change to occur, it requires an organized boycott for it to matter. I can vote with my wallet all I want, but unless enough vote the same way all I'm doing is saving money for myself. Individual action is for the self, for real change to occur it requires a movement. Trust me, I know this better than most because I am a vegan lol

As someone who works a corporate job your description did genuinely put a sparkle in my eye.

I worked in corporate IT for about 4 years and I got sick of licenses existing after a while but I also ran into plenty of obscure shit like certain printer software or whatever needing licenses. On one hand it might force corporations to be more rigid but on the other they wouldn't need to fix what ain't broken and introduce tons of new problems.
Of course, some CEOs are absolutely retarded and basically just lucked their way to the top but you're gonna run into at least a few who think "hmm maybe i can keep running office 16 instead of whatever this 365 is"

naw there's footage of him speaking with a higher voice, but I don't think he pitches shit down, I think he just voice trained.

>>713459475
Just remember that no one has ever organically become big. They always have a connection somewhere. Ross is only as popular as he is because of his previous work with Machinima, and not because of his actual competence. Unfortunately for him, Figtree has bigger connections despite being wholly incompetent, which contributed to the movement tanking.

Even worse, Figtree is such a narcissist he's probably gooning seeing how "salty" /v/ is.

Imagine blaming thor for your failed initiative when it was you that watched it fail for 12 months. Thor released a few videos on the first month, what did Ross do to boost it back?

This initiative failed not because of thor or trolls here. It failed because no one really cared, the creator of the initiative included.

beats me I watched the video a bit ago and I'm not skimming through it again to find the timestamp. it's around the part where Ross is talking about how Pirate Software effected the momentum of the movement, and how his influence has waned since then.

He did a few on first month, nothing happened afterwards.

>>713460269
Ross tried to reach out to him and he deleted his comments like a little bitch.
He literally refused to engage in the discussion.

What the fuck are you even arguing here you retard? Do you think Machinima spawned overnight? Newgrounds too? Do you really think Microsoft was made in a garage by a "bright, gifted child" and not Gates coming from an uber-wealthy family that gave him the resources to create his own company?

I never even typed that Ross isn't worth following, and explicitly said he's competent. I did type that Ross has a smaller following than Figtree despite the latter not being competent, which is why SKG was washed away by a tidal wave of piss.

Learn to read, and if you argue with me again, you're brown.

>>713460376

anon the shills here are paid to do one thing, spread misinformation

>>713460494
Sounds like a cope

Man, I really was hoping that Pirate's Software's sperg out would promote the campaign more then it hurt it, but apparently, at least from Ross's perspective, it created a chilling effect for other people to talk about or promote it.

Since then, I think I understand why Thor did it, He's a perpetual teenager who needs to be pedantically correct about everything and needs to refute everything bad said about him. So, when people in his chat called him out for misinterpreting and making silly arguments, he went into 'defense mode' and never got out of it.
The drama he's been rolled into this afterwards has repeated this pattern over and over again:
- Thor does or says something disagreeable
- People get upset, attack him
- He spergs out about it for weeks
The problem is that he's a 1% streamer and people are going to talk shit about him no matter what he says and I don't think he's capable of dealing with that.

>>713460598

Or at least do better than going stand still for nine months. He might claim he did stuff but it sounds like all he did was asking other youtubers to advertise his campaign for him

You're right about him creating a chilling effect Ross even states that in his video that a large Youtuber was directly dissuaded from coming out in support of the campaign because of Thors videos.

This Piratesoftware guy, he absolutely had malicious intent.

I think what actually happened here was:
>Thor makes a quick, off-the-cuff comment about Stop Killing Games

>Someone in his chat calls him a retard
>Thor, a narcissist, hyperfocuses on any and all criticism of his superior intellect, and makes it his SWORN DUTY to disprove the claim that he is a retard
>Spends the next hour explaining his (retard) opinion
>People continue to call him a retard so he doubles and triples down and keeps talking about it until he's spent the entire day on the topic
>Defending his dogshit opinion about the Stop Killing Games movement has now become his singular goal in life
I don't think Thor honestly intended to talk about SKG as much as he did, but he got baited into discussing it because he can't stand criticism

>>713461668
I heard that PirateSoftware was consulting as some live-service game that Ludwig(another big streamer as I understand) was making at the time.
Did anything come of that?
It always seemed that Thor wasn't really that technically competent, using GameMaker instead of rolling his own engine, not understanding how you can architect an online service to have swappable parts, and constantly feeling like he had to defend his cred.
What I'm wondering is if they started making a game, but realized that Thor doesn't know how to make an online game and that killed it.

Ubislop is just a vehicle to save all future games.

>>713462024
This is correct, but instead of taking an item the company simply bricks your device.
But faggots still buy that crap and they will defend those scummy companies.

>>713462076
Nah, he's got too much of a cult following and industry backing to ever disappear. Thor has been in so many fucking shitshows so far and has just walked away because at the end of the day as long as he's got even one whale left he's good.

>name your son Thor
>he turns into the most effeminate backstabbing bitch possible

>>713461916
I don't buy always online crap because I know it's always online crap. It's your job and your job alone to make an informed purchase.

>>713461927
Checked it out, it was a game publisher, here's the games they've published: https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/offbrandgames
All three of them are furry games, the two released games seem to be small successes.
Quotes I've found from Thor WRT to the company:
>I’m going to help manage the relationship between developers and us to make sure there is mutual benefit for both sides.
>I’ve seen far too many instances of publisher over-reach, and I’ve wanted to do something about it for close to a decade. This is a chance to help push our industry in a better direction, and I am super happy to do it.
Lol

everybody moved to subscription, keep up boomer

>>713462024
you arent buying a product, you are buying limited service
if you hire a maid to clean your room you expect you now own her for ever?

again, its just retards who cant deal with their own decisions

>>713448083
>he stole the money he didn't want people to give him!
Kill yourself you brown retard.

>>713462253
that's probably not his real name

>>713461980
pls redeem, body

>>713462302
>you are buying limited service
Only for monthly fee games. In every sane country buying a videogame is buying a product. Stop regurgitating american political anti-consumer stances, jew.

>>713462270
here's some more context if you're unaware, this was an offshoot of ludwigs company "offbrand" which was him helping streamers to create big events like streamer awards or whatever the fuck, and the "parent" company completely failed and he closed it because it was unprofitable after he turned it into a co-op

>>713462024
>make game
>20 years later, retired
>get sued for every penny because the networking provider you used on that old ass game goes out of business

>>713462173
What legal loopholes?
Literally everybody seem to know now that those products arent for ever, they still buy them.
People could demand change, they wont, in fact entire industry is moving to mobile, and pc and consoles will be dead in 20 years so who gives a shit anyway?

>>713462350
I think he is also has jason as his middle name, or the other way around maybe. But as far as I know, Thor is really part of his full name.

>>713462461
It was never going to be retroactive, retard.

>>713462461
It's not retroactive you shitposter.

>>713462461
Maybe don't make your game rely on an external server, or at least release an offline patch when you decide to end support.

>>713462461
Hilarious how this gave Ross a migraine because it's the first thing to be clarified and yet the number one lie repeated ad-nauseam

>>713462358
Not in your hand, then its not real
You are buying online access to a time limited service, and no amount of screeching wont change that, its the refusal to accept reality thats a big problem here

>>713462350
It's Jason apparently.

>>713462646
>getting fucked in the ass isn't the problem, it's your distaste for cock that's the real issue here

>>713462685
>furfag
of course

Oh what a cool initiative, I would hate it when my console shuts down it's online services
>actually we are keeping consoles exempt from this, they are free to kill their entire library
Uh, ok. It is great I will be able to play dota overwatch even if valve or blizzard dies
>actually we are also keeping "games as a service" exempt
Ok... so we are exempting two types of games that are most vulnerable to this. Then what would this law be about?
>uh so there is this game called "the crew"
Actually I don't care

>>713462583
are you retarded? it doesn't matter if it is retroactive because the same scenario can happen in the future you dumb fuck

>>713462519
>People could demand change, they wont
Near half a million people in one continent did
>in fact entire industry is moving to mobile, and pc and consoles will be dead in 20 years
Because of every other whale
>so who gives a shit anyway?
The people just mentioned, do you have dementia?

>>713462753
>make a thing in the future
>disregard laws
>get fucked
Oh no!?

>>713462741
Genuine retard.

>>713462741
>Uh, ok. It is great I will be able to play dota overwatch even if valve or blizzard dies
>>actually we are also keeping "games as a service" exempt
It's literally an initiative to let you play those shitty games after blizzard dies you brain dead retard.

I hate retards so much it's unreal.

>Bro my singleplayer always online games
Who cares?
Yawn, Thor owned this faggot already.

>>713462873
disregard what law? making it illegal to use third party networking? you trying to kill mp indie games?

>>713462753
If you intentionally made the game, after the supposed regulations have taken full effect, which break said regulations. Then you've got no one but yourself to blame. You absolute mouth breathing nigger retard.

>>713462741
Pretty much. These are games that should be banned from being made, not saved.

>>713462975
Based retard

>>713462987
Release an offline patch when you end support or die, retard. Also name one fucking indie game with reliance on an external server to play it.

>>713463000
And this was recognized by EU citizens as an undue burden. That's why it was rejected.

>>713462707
If you getting fucked at the gay bar every day you got nobody to blame but yourself.
People love this model of selling products, and few retards wont change that.

>>713463000
The same can be said for people buying these games. If you are buying a game with a kill switch, that is on you

>>713463009
It would effectively ban them from being made in one fell swoop.
>>713463078
Companies love this model, people are either indifferent or hate it. Nobody goes
>oh boy that game I played when I was 9 can never be played again!

>>713463000
no you retard...my game relies on 3rd party networking. i have no control over if they shut down in the future.

>>713463076
I see no contradictions with my post.

>so uhm if a studio shuts down a live service game they should allow the community and fans to host servers on their own
>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STOP THAT!"
Why would anyone be against this so much?

>>713463053
Super auto pets. Backpack battles

>>713463157
Why did you tie the fundamental playability of your game entirely to a third party you do not control? Are you retarded? No indie devs do this in the first place so I guess you are.

>>713463157
The code that made it rely on 3rd party networking must've just willed itself into existence huh?

>>713453369

>It would effectively ban them from being made in one fell swoop.
Lying isn't going to get you anywhere

>>713463232
>why would you use third party solutions? hurrrr
see youre a retard and if you had your way there would be no multiplayer indie games

>>713463353
Anon no multiplayer indie games do this. Most are peer 2 peer.
>>713463297
If it costs more or is more annoying to make them tied to external servers than not, it's banned.

>>713462970
Yes, all these retards wishing for big daddy government to help was exhausting.

>>713463439
you don't know what you're talking about dumbass lol

>>713463127
I'd be ok if the devs publicly disclosed upon initial release the exact time the game is going to be killed. They're never going to do that though, unless forced.

>>713463460
>government should never be useful
>instead, the world should be begging big daddy corporation for leniency
When you have two groups that both hate you, government and corporations, you play them against one another. It is the only power you have.

>>713463484
That's because you are intellectually incapable.

>>713463516
>play them against one another
More like you're trading one evil for another. This would never have ended in any way but poorly for us caught in the middle.

>>713463585
you just said indie devs don't use 3rd party networking solutions, so you're either an idiot or a liar, pick one

>>713463516
>When you have two groups that both hate you, government and corporations, you play them against one another. It is the only power you have.
this desu
fight fire with fire

>>713463642
Anon the evils are literally fighting over you. It is as good as it gets for you, the tasty morsel. Monster, demon, hope they kill one another, etc.
>>713463659
What do you think peer to peer is? Do you think you have to go to peer 2 peer corp and rent out a listening server? You can literally just run it in your basement.

>>713463495
>exact
That would be a very stupid thing to ask. I would be ok with a "this game will work at least until 2028" and they can extend that date as it approaches if they wish or kill the game if it is not making money.
