You can't ever re-experience seeing Star Wars again for the firtst time in theaters with everyone shouting and having fun. So we should destroy every copy of it.

Maybe /int/ can help us in this as well.

>>713581092
Wow, if only games used to have files people could share around indefinitely giving a game like Meet Your Maker a sense of value with fresh content still well after servers have shit off... if only file share and custom level existed... if only mods existed...

The real fun of MYM was swapping levels with your friends

>>713581092
This whiny gay furry will bend over backwards as far as it takes to misinterpret what game preservation means.

>>713583483
Yeah why can't you guys just admit "preservation" is you want free games to spite the evil corpos

stop playing subscription services and thinking they're games.

>>713581092
SKG would LITERALLY solve that problem anyway
He's legit too stubborn to admit hes fucking wrong

>>713584085
>you guys just admit "preservation" is you want free games
supermarket stores in the EU started to give out discounts on easily spoiled food before closing hours
it's woke, but better than having to burn it.

i.e. if you want to wait 10 years to get the free game sure. which this isn't even what is being argued, you retarded idiot. leaving a game in a playable state has nothing to do with pricing. how is your skull this thick to not understand such a simple concept

>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1at1k7qIo5dgPp6K1aCrYIyAgNOjY-IhF/

>>713584187
Technically every game ever made is a subscription service which can be terminated at any time for no reason according to the EULA.

>>713584085
I want to be able to play the games I paid for in perpetuity.

>>713584467
i honestly have no idea what MYM is but if that retard is simply saying people are fleeing the game because they don't want to play it, that's one thing, but if that game is relying on a central server (which i don't think) and that plug is being pulled without leaving behind any server software, then that's where SKG would come in. if that company wanted to sell software in the West

>>713584867
>erm technically the game on your shelf can magically teleport away from you.

>>713585032
Yeah most of the PC games already have. I can't use my World of Warcraft discs, or my Command and Conquer 3 discs, or my Planetary Ahnihilation disc, or my Orange Box disc, or my Wolfenstein TNO disc. They're all just bricks now because the online services those rely on have abandoned the disc copies of those games. Console games are getting that way too. If it isn't stopped now, in a few years practically every game will be like this. The only exception being some obscure indie titles.

>>713584980
The live service slop stops here

>>713580495 (OP)
The world is on the brink of WW3 and in late stage capitalism at the same time.

Even if it gets 1 million signatures, nobody is going to do even 10% of what Ross is asking. Changing the status quo that is currently in place would cost too much.

>>713584867
no it can't you retard. if they are selling you the software for usage but not the right to distribute it, then you have that right and that right should be enforceable regardless on what store the license was acquired (as long as the company or the rightsholder still exists)
>you don't get to have a slave just because you make someone sign a paper

retard, if companies want to skip physical and there's no way to resell your digital copy, then they will also get all the downsides of that: "give me access to the license i purchased, where is it, I don't care store X doesn't exist anymore. i want to download my copy"

>>713585601
>Even if it gets 1 million signatures, nobody is going to do even 10% of what Ross is asking. Changing the status quo that is currently in place would cost too much.
then you don't get to sell your game in that market and the money will be spent on games that do comply with it.
like literally 0 shits given.
sometimes you simply have to save people from themselves (as a people/government)

>>713585690
I agree that's how it should be. But as it stands the companies have all the power and we have none. Hopefully if this initiative passes it'll fix that.

Yes, live service games as we know them now would cease to exist.

good

>>713586097
SKG has nothing inherently to do with licensing.
the same licensing just that you cannot make the product inoperable because the company says so because either a) you have a new product or b) the company is getting sold / going bankrupt.

you brought up EULAs so i responded to that.

>>713581092
>you cant just host the files!!!!!
You 100% could have a community archive of tens of thousands of maps and host them all locally if the devs werent gay cocksuckers, you can literally do this with mario maker right fucking now....

>>713585601
That depends on what the law says. It'll probably be 100x more relaxed that what Ross is pushing for. But it'll still be a win for the consumer. Even if we just get a sign for every online only game that says "You are paying for a revocable license"

>>713581092
Watching Ross' video on this guy then seeing that pic just makes me more pissed off at this furry jew.

It's a skill to be both dumb and incapable of thought.
You're living proof of that.

>>713590298
The issue is that what they present as the problem isn't the real problem
Like they say it's about consumer rights and game preservation, when really it's just about trying to attack companies they see as ruining their video games
Like Gamergate, where they said it was about ethics in game jounralism when it was an excuse to attack woke shit in video games

>>713587608

>>713591275
The New Vegas disc is a steam installer. Even if the files are the disc, they're 13 years out of date, so steam will still force you to download the whole thing from the internet.

>>713582262
are you american?

>>713591368
oh its been so long that i've installed fnv from disc I just took your word for it. that's too bad, would be better to have a non-steam version, considering steam won't last forever.

>>713591209
I knew he was based, but not in the "one of us" way. I remember him calling le happy merchant a slur when a game referenced it.

What if PirateSoftware is just playing 4D chess? He pissed everyone off with a retarded take about stop killing games so that it would pick up more steam from the drama and people would vote for it out of spite?
Probably not and the guy is just an idiot but it's funny to think about.

>>713591427
Just cause he's not anti-semitic doesn't mean he isn't wise to the governments tricks. He's the guy who knows everything about disappearing into farming cults after all.

>>713591426
New Vegas is on GoG, but its been updated a few times and lost support for a bunch of older systems in the process. Better than nothing, but not as good as it could be.

what is the pirate rambling about? if he pirates games then why would this affect him?

>>713581092
Ok but does he has an agenda against SKG because it interferes with his plans or some shit and he can profit off it failing or is he just doubling down because he is a retard that was proven wrong in an internet debate and is just doubling down to save face (and failing at it)?

>>713591467
I didn't realize, holy shit what a fucking egomaniac. I can't even fathom the mindset to favorite your own fucking post like that.

>>713591429
No, he's just an industry shill. He stands to lose theoretical money from this initiative passing, so he's trying to stop it.

he deleted this btw

Part of me wants to believe that he's some sort of industry plant but the most likely explanation is that he's a narcissistic retard that doesn't like to be proven wrong, his past controversies pretty much confirm his behaviour.

>>713591572
Backwards compatibility is complicated because you can either package the dependencies with the game or rely on the system's. Even Microsoft that bends over backwards to maintain legacy compatibility makes concessions from time to time because it's not feasible to do that.

>>713591701
Unfortunately GoG only hosts the most recent versions of its games, unlike Steam which keeps basically every version of every game going back to release.

>>713591706
true true.

>>713591801
What broke it here is GoG galaxy integration. Even the offline non-galaxy installer still has the galaxy integration capable version of the game, which doesn't have legacy support. I don't even get why they try to force Galaxy anyways, no one uses that shit.

>>713580495 (OP)
Why did they demoralize everyone after trying to set up a huge petition?

I am ancient enough to remember that "a Jew" in the early internet was an euphemism for the rich elite and and the greedy and not necessarily tied to one's ethnicity. Maybe it flew over my head but my impression was always that people who came later took it too literally.
Maybe he's also like that.

>>713591921
People are more likely to buy games when they have a launcher in the background 24/7 and just browse it from time to time like Steam. GOG is in a pretty rough state financially because very few people use it.

The gfwl drm implementation on Fallout 3 is completely broken. The windows live launcher for the game just runs an installer exectuable which isn't tied to it at all, so you can just run than executable and play it without even installing gfwl.

Ross even talked about it in his very first video about the launch of the initiative

>>713594495
>its not 5000 pages.
1.3 GB of unformatted text

Isn't the petition just to force the EU to take a look at the situation, with no obligation to actually do anything the petition suggests? I don't get why people are so dead set against even that initial investigation step. If you want games to keep dying, then there's a good chance they would rule in your favor anyway that everything is fine as is, and the issue would be settled.

>>713582262
You couldn't even if you wanted to.

>>713594660
No. Legal act HAS to be proposed
>This popular initiative enables one million citizens of the European Union,[2] with a minimum number of nationals from at least seven member states, to call directly on the European Commission to propose a legal act (notably a Directive or Regulation) in an area where the member states have conferred powers onto the EU level.

>>713594624
I don't know what games those are but a lot of companies don't have massive agreements like that. i do agree that should be regulated. but still i think consumers know more or less what they are signing up to.

>>713594660

Pretty much and it's very unlikely EVERYTHING Ross wants will go through, he even states himself and some compromises would be nice.
Like at the very least, being able to play a game offline that doesn't really need online play should be the bare minimum.

>>713593990
I would be incentivized if they were to produce a superior product, instead of selling me the same thing because they disabled the old thing remotely to prevent me from using it.

>>713591829
That's not true. You can pull older versions trough GOG Galaxy. I remember doing that when Owlcat broke Pathfinder:Kingmaker with a patch so i went to GOG Galaxy and loaded an older version of the game. The most recent versions are for the offline installers.

>>713594424

>>713594180
It's far from it, but compared to the alternatives it is a veritable paradise. I wish the EU client states did not have to cripple their own economies to "strengthen the union members", EU production quotes here murdered several of our industries that used to be the staple of the country.

This but unironically.
>>713594424
Don't do this. The initiatives are checked for fake votes. If you are not a real EU citizen you are just wasting your time. The votes are going to get checked against the EU voters database(the same one that they use to check if people can vote in EU elections). There is no chance to scam votes in. This is not a ''petition'' the way people are used to think of. This is way more serious and official.

It's a bad idea to completely fake a signature HOWEVER fellow eu fags can sign on behalf of any family/friends you know the names and addresses of (provided it's a country that doesn't also require some kind of government id number)

People against SKG should just admit they're spiteful and don't want other people to have nice things. Or that they don't care about preservation because it doesn't affect them personally. I can respect these stances and I get where these people are coming from.
But for whom I have zero respect for are these fucking slimeballs that try to imply that the SGK initiative may have unforeseen consequences for online or live service games or worst of them all the fucking little worms that say shit like "think of the poor corporations". Or concern troll about indie live service (lmao) being a collateral in this when indie devs are the ones who usually allow you to self host and do everything that SGK is asking for.
Some people are jaded and that's fine but concern trolls like PirateSoftware are the lowest scum there is. Fucking piece of shit knows exactly what he's saying and he's being misleading on purpose.

The poorer countries are also generally less informed and don't care about it as much because they're used to just pirating vidya so this changes nothing for them. They also have a weird disdain for EU as a concept despite leeching from it far more than the basically nothing they contribute so they see this initiative as another commie shit they shouldn't support.

Bad faith argument, that's a thousands of third party EULA's put togheter

My fucking god, this is crazy. The existence of the City of Heroes private servers in and of itself (to say nothing for other types of titles) proves he's idiotic. Especially if all those user-created content and tools to do so is preserved, you absolutely run a private server that brings old content and assets, while also updating / expanding creating new ones - which can grow a significant server populace to give the "intended" experience. Aside from the subjective idea that something isn't worth playing without a massive population (something MMO private servers have already proven otherwise) , this is just counterproductive.

Even if you didn't think it was possible to preserve the

Libertarians are funny like that.
They are communism's greatest walking and talking advertisement board by equating anything that means a higher quality of life to the people at the cost of slightly less control by big corpos and the ultra-rich to communism.
None of these things are communism, but they make people think that it is... but instead of turning people away from the things you oppose (because they don't want to be associated with communism), you just end up making them sympathetic to communism instead.

If those signatures and e-cucks are not from the brown nations who haven't signed then it doesn't matter.

I don’t see the point of this. Let’s say the petition reaches 1 million signatures. It will take a long ass time for the EU to enforce it, up to three years. By then, we’ll likely be able to generate games using AI. So there wont be any need to perserve games.

>>713598467
The amount of work it took to paint that pales in comparison to the amount of work it takes to create a video game

The problem with the free market is the same problem as democracy: People are idiots. Then comes the unique problem that a person not buying only has one vote while someone who is buying can have theoretical unlimited votes if they keep purchasing.
Solution: I got none. There is no way to have a system that makes people stop being idiots while also allowing them to express individual rights and liberties.

the issue here is devs don't.

the industry would be in a whole diffrent place if they told you out right or on the box. (this game will end and you will lose your purchase or purcheses on X date.)

its not communism to think giving the consumer themselves the ability to play a dead game once you decide to nuke it. its pure commerce

>>713598815
Don't act like an ass and we won't treat you like an ass.
Developers for the past 10 years have been openly shitting on the gaming community, why do you think we are hostile? Also, if it the outcome is to save the games that you are creating, does it matter if people shit on you?

>>713598815
Yeah, heavens forbid if devs are held to the unreachable standard of 1996 Quake. This is an attack on their whole career.

>aaa slop game kills itself
>retards slop lovers who bought it get cosmic punishment

>>713598872
yes, but they don't

>>713598373
It's 2 things.
Firstly it's Maldvius Figtree and his army of fellow gay furries who are defending him because they feel smart agreeing with a nepobaby.
It's also all parts of the industry, developers, artists, musicians, managers and so on brigading because this is probably the worst thing that can happen to them.

SKG means that successive games HAVE to be objectively better than before. No more enshitification. They can't turn off an old game and release a new game with a worse consumer experience. The only way the new game will be sold is if it is better than before.

>>713598893
>the issue here is devs don't.
Really? Because the messaging here is not "tell people that your game expires", it's "your game should not be allowed to expire"
"Communism" is needlessly regulating things according to peoples whims

>>713584980

Why? I can’t imagine anything more miserable than playing a decade old abandoned live service game

No. It’s offensive to human dignity and debases the soul.

I hate this narcist fag so much

>>713598898
This is class-based moronics, there is no "we", people who make games are human beings you can't lump everyone into the same group and then mindlessly hate them

His entire brand is intentionally trying to align with piracy so that he can subvert you.

yes. i purchased the product. let me keep my hard earned product. or allow me to keep it alive my self.

its not needless. you are just a corpo cock sucker who is ok getting fucked in the ass and told to pay more.

we can complain about gaas AND not being able to keep the product i purchased. if consoles were being made to die 1 year into its life and they just told you "whoops. you agreed to this, buy a new one wagie" you are damn certain regulation would happen. i cant fathom why consumers having the right not to be fucked melts your brain

>>713598947

Lol no, ever heard of planned obsolescence? You still aren't making any arguments that aren't "I don't like it"

>>713598935
pretty much all EULA's state that the developer reserves the right to terminate a server without notice. Even if they say that they will terminate in three months and do it prematurely it's not a violation of law because it's up to them what to do with their private property and IP
Don't want live service games don't buy them and don't expect some communist legislation can ever be erected so retard bureaucrats who don't even play games can start penalizing game devs for not fulfilling gamer's lofty expectations.

I don't understand why the guy organizing this didn't reach out to big local European content creators and streamers. Most of the people in the EU DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH or don't cosume English media. Only nordfags do, that's why you have maps showing all the votes coming from those places.
If the retard talked to French, Spanish, Italian etc. content creators about this shit and asked them to publicize it then it would have worked months ago. It literally takes 5 minutes to reach out for people like that Sabaku faggot who has a massive following, that alone should deal with Italy.
The only English motherlanguage country in Europe is Britain and it's not even in the EU anymore LMAO, why can't Americans understand this?

Free market is worthless if consumers don't make informed purchases on their products. The last 10 years of gaming has proven to me that popularity != better products.

>>713599160
Well the campaign is about telling developers that they need to make their games "live forever" rather than just communicating their pricing plan
Which i'm pretty sure they're alreadty required to do anyway

>>713599183
I deserve VENGEANCE

>>713599237
Are we talking about the painting of the chapel or the construction of the chapel itself? Because the construction workers were definitely paid for their work

>>713599207
He did, no one responded. He asked his own EU audience to get him names of eurotubers... none responded.

>>713599207
Because Ross can't speak those languages and he even admits he is bad at this

>>713599207
Yeah he completely ruined it by not preparing a big list and just sending them an email.
There's thousands of European YouTubers that have thousands of subscribers who play old video games, play emulated games and he didn't speak to them.

>>713599207
Why didn't you reach out to them then?

Ross is literally the good guy.

>>713599206
but its for ANY game. not just live service or AAA slop. again guys really just cant fathom OWNERSHIP of your games

>>713599207
He's an introvert and can't even speak polish while living in Poland and look at the guy he's clearly dumped Cha in character creation. He tried very hard but effort doesn't always lead to results. Ross wished some gigachad would have done it in his stead but all we've got is him.

>>713599195
thats not the same shit retard. we are talking about "what you agreed to" it would be a pr nightmare and regulation would stop it.

>>713599386
So whos' going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars comissioning devs to make AAA games?

>>713599382
I don't need it, games are like condoms, just play it and then toss it away.

>>713598649

>>713599253
It's the reasonable lifespan of a video game. Planned obsolescence is an abuse of the consumer.

>>713599382

>>713599160
But you still have to buy the base game and expansions. They're useless without the subscription, so then what are you paying for exactly when you buy them?

Anyways, if you merely exclude games that have a subscription, then simply every live service game would just charge $1/month or switch to free to play with microtransactions and be free from the law. Maybe they address this, I haven't truly read it since I'm not euro.

>"the public" doesn't have the legal right to play (old online games)
Yes they do. If they paid for it and are willing to put in the effort to upkeep it, they have every right to keep playing.

if an indie game for some god unknown reason dieced its server based and once its gone its dead. i have my rights as the consumer and purchaser to keep playing that game. devs dont need to support it.

Stop you from doing what? The owners of the game stop you from playing it
Imagine saying "I have my rights" when you're just talking about your feelings, embarrassing

And yet we didn't need a representative to get people to not buy the switch 2 game keys.
I guess mainland Europeans can't think for themselves.

>It's not illegal to reverse engineer a game and build your own private server
It's not worth the effort if you're served a cease and desist from a corporate lawyer that could bankrupt you in spite of the legality.

What Vimm's lair was doing was not illegal in the slightest, in fact it's within our rights to keep the data for games we paid for so long as we maintain ownership of the original. Yet Nintendo used threats to take it down because the legal battle just wouldn't be worth it for a free site meant for enthusiasts.

There should be no legal battle whatsoever. Someone claiming legal ownership of a service that has been defunct for ten years should have no legal power over it anymore than someone has legal power over Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. If you aren't currently engaged in profiting from a service and show no intent to do so, there's no reason to attack anyone trying to preserve it. That is what needs to stop.

Yeah I'm sure EA will decide to not make and sell their squillion dollar games knowing they have to take the tiny extra effort to make sure they haven't timebombed the games
