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.

Wow, what a great leader you have. I'd sure like to support a guy that says you deserve this for not helping him. Can't admit that there isn't any fault on your end like how you pitch this idea in the first place? No? Going to just blame everyone else but yourself? I think I understand why he didn't get the support when he needed it and now has to rely on drama to get attention now.

>>713685753
So what? Make it playable offline, what's the big deal? Have those autists be able to play it on private servers, not like you gonna lose money anyways since its not being sold

No, they just keep running these mmo's privately, which is closer to what the initiative is asking for, retard-san.

no it isn't. it's asking for governments to force game companies to effectively turn games Open Source whenever they enter EoS. Anyone who isn't a card-carrying communist understands the implication of that, and refuses to touch the movement with a ten foot bargepole.

If they really cared about you and their game they would release server SDK by themselves

>>713687698
The point is that nobody cares except total loser faggots who cling to online games they autistically play solo years after everyone else quit. It adds costs for the developer to make a migration plan for private servers if that's even feasible or forces them to keep running servers. That cost will be another excuse to jack up game prices, and you faggots are already too poor to buy games.

>>713687878
Server tools used to be almost ubiquitous, zoomie.

>>713687947
Yes, but the internet got dumber and dumber, so people don't know how to manage their own firewalls. That's why the matchmaking and negotiation through master servers is done. Want to go back? Kill everyone who got on the internet after 1989.

It has nice momentum but the campaign should get attention constantly until the goal is reached. some streamers could put links and make promos for it. instead we got like the first month and now the last one and unless more big youtubers join in and promote it there no chance of reaching that treshold.

If that initiative succeeds or fails does not really matter to me, since I just won't buy live service games, I don't really buy multiplayer games to begin with and I already have a huge backlog.

>>713688856
>We don't need steam refunds. Just don't buy "bad" games.

>>713687878
Oh no, not the cost. It's add maybe 0.1 percent to the game's budget. And it's about being able to use a product you paid for. Currently they can turn off the game any time they want without refunding you

>>713688891
Don't get me wrong, I am all for that fucking corporations in the ass. I just don't personally need this.

>>713688915
The really fucked up shit is stuff like, "We can take your game away for any reason" in the TOS, how is that shit even legal to begin with?

>>713686078
>effectively turn games Open Source whenever they enter EoS
Even for games like MMOs, no it isn't. Most MMOs that have private servers aren't magically open source software you fucking mongoloid.
To begin with, open source is a goddamn license not some magical state of existence for software. It means that you can legally take the code and make your own from it without any due to the original software creator. Making something "open source" at its EoS would mean that once any game hits EoS, people could legally take that game and make derivatives and sell them. Nobody wants that.

>>713689115
I hope someone takes your games away.

None of those examples are relevant to this.
If the devs want to take a game and chock it full of fucking DLC, microtransactions, battlepasses and day one DLCs they're welcome.
All they need to fucking do is make sure that if the game requires online, there's an EoS solution to keep it playable after the servers go off. That's all. Everything else is whatever.

>>713691651
Nothing in the EULA ever says anything about EoL support or lack thereof, you disingenious fuck.

Steam has a 2-hour refund window.
Any difficulties are your own fault.

>>713691506
A sticker on a box costs more in lost sales than a small EoS patch that stops the client from checking that you're online every 3 seconds.

>>713691651
EULAs are rarely enforceable or legally binding outside of shitholes with 0 consumer laws. An EULA is the equivalent of taping a "if u enter this house u consent to anal sex" note to your door. If anything it makes your anal rape even more illegal.

All you are demanding is a boilerplate disclaimer on every online game that says what everyone already knows.

There is no possibility of meaningful change of practice.

I've yet to hear one good argument against this initiative besides the fact that it gives more power to the government, which is a consequence of investors demanding infinite growth. Kinda funny that if companies just made good games none of this would've happened.

The products and services of that era were categorically different (and, yes, better).
You can't force Hollywood to "make good movies again" either, even if you know the recipe.
Your agency as a consumer in deciding the features and qualities of a product or service lies in the decision to purchase it or not and in concerted boycotts.

If your favorite restaurant starts selling literal shit because a bunch of coprophiles moved into the area, you can't make them reprise their old menu.
Slinging shit is simply too lucrative for them.
The "stop killing games" initiative is like petitioning the government to outlaw selling shit (that people are happily consuming).

Yes, and I'll easily support any with actual promise.
All that this could possibly precipitate is a boldface disclaimer that service will end at some point.

>>713693971
It advocates for an end of life plan for video games that don't have any. It's immediately concerned with live-service games since those are the ones where players simply just lose access to a game they paid for, but given how much game developers want to push for live-service since it's a cash cow as well as take control away from consumers with game streaming or game passes and whatever, it's a good anchor that can help non-live service games in the future too.

>>713694269
Then none of them will even be worth my time, and I can to something more constructive.

>>713694269
With everything being pushed into being online only having this as a foothold against it would be good.

>>713694401
The end of life plan is to retire the game.
At most, they'll be more explicit about that.

Since then I hated the guy for openly spreading misinfo about cybersec and I wasn't surprised to see him pop up on /v/ with other controversies.

>>713695325

Just to clarify if anyone cares, a company wouldn't need to maintain the online matchmaking component for this. If you could boot up the game and play some arcade/against the AI then that's good enough. Community would likely find a way to do online again anyway

>>713693971
Imagine if publishers were forced to have a "game will be playable until at least X date" disclaimer for paid always-online games. They'd be incentivized to actually make better games that they can be more confident in and not just throw shit with a 1 year expiration date at a wall.

America is a nation of slaves and slavers. You average American has the slave mentality build into them.
>videogame publishers will keep acting like this in the USA since they know that there will be no push back in the USA
This is why the push for videogame refunds had to come from outside of America. This is why SKG is happening in Europe and not in America. America is not the land of the free, America is the land of the slaves. Slaves to corporations, slaves to the filthy rich. This is why videogame EULAs are legal in the USA.

>>713696251
>If it's within a year, you get a refund (already true).

Stop being a fucking retarded faggot and turning this fucking thing into a "MUH AMERICANS" shit
The reason Americans don't give two shits about movements like this is the exact opposite of what you describe. Americas are individualistic to a fucking fault. Which is why the majority of arguments boil down to
>It doesn't affect me
>I make the choice not to buy
>It's your fault for choosing to buy
Americans don't give a fuck about getting involved in other people's fuck ups. Which isn't always the correct stance, but it is what it is.

At this rate we will maybe get 560,000-570,000 today. Maybe bit more as it is still early hours. If we could get at 600 000 i belive there still a small chance as long as the media attention remain.

All the footage I've seen is just him calling it bullshit or dismissing it or saying it's dumb, not once have I seen him give a credible answer as to why he thinks any of this. The closest answer I did find was someone theorizing it was because he's a "game dev" and thinks employing an end of life service to games is impossible but as far as I could tell he only ever worked at Blizzard as a QA employee (basically being a janny in WoW).

Corporatist principles actually.

>Which videogame publishers are most likely to get affected by this?
The ones you should be boycotting already anyway. Still doesn't hurt squeezing their balls a bit.

You are all disgusting commies.

>>713697623
that you have never read it and never made a purchase deiscion based on it. I never doubted that these lines exist

>>713697516
oatmeal?
sounds yummy.
cant think of a whiter meal than oats and cream

>>713697694
Lmao Marx would fucking keel over and die if he saw direct democracy protecting the customer. Kindly kill yourself.

>>713697586
It is defeatist bullshit when you don't even make the faintest attempt to fight for your right to actually own what you purchase and instead waste your time pissing and moaning and trying to rain on everyone's parade.
Basically you're a corporate cocksucker and a "useful" idiot who holds no real beliefs and never will.

People celebrating this failing is proof that they deserve to suffer. I take no comfort in what happened to video games, but I do take comfort in the fact that it mostly affected bad people who deserve to feel pain anyway.

>>713697740
>It's not my fault that I can't read or understand the concept of a contract

>>713697827
Is this how communists are born?

He clearly stated what his beliefs are right there in the post

>>713689671
>we're unironically stuck in a war without end on the internet. Fighting fucking bots and shills every single day non-stop.
The flood of Expedition 33 threads was organic and a result of people genuinely loving the game.

>>713697659
Discarding principles because they protect things you dislike is the essence of tyranny.
Without a rigid and inviolable framework, the law becomes a shanty of popular caprice.

>>713697843
it's quite literally not my fault that the agreement isn't presented to the customer until AFTER money has changed hands, possibly irreversibly

>>713697912
He only believes it because that's what the corporations tell him ergo it's not real

>>713697936
EULAs are literally loophole cope contracts created taking advantage of a legal grey area that exists within digital goods. So you agree with me.

>>713697956
Literally nobody geniunely cares about this, Steam refunds exist, and the only games that get shut down are the ones nobody plays anyway

>>713697873
That is the very quintessence, yes.

>>713697985
No he believes it because he understands what it represents to make laws against things you just don't like

>>713698005
>literally no one cares
So... He's right and you're backpedaling to a non-argument.

>>713697956
How many times do you retards need to be told you can read the EULA before you buy the game and even get a refund if you disagree with it? I literally posted a link to three you 70 IQ subhuman. End yourself.

>>713698039
>understands
*misunderstands
Again he's just a corporate cocksucker and so are you

The initiative doesn't ask for or demand public or private servers be maintained forever, or be coerced into some kind of offline singleplayer experience.

It just mandates an "end of life" plan so players know when and how a game will go offline.

>>713698101
Physical point of sale for games has no EULA visible. Go to GameStop and confirm yourself.

>>713697995
EULAs exist because consumers are litigious.
They've gotten so bloated as to be practically meaningless.
But the more regulations there are, the greater the liabilities and the longer the contracts.

I unironically believe that AAA companies would assassinate the person behind a movement like this if it had any actual chance of working, if it came to it.
They've invested decades into manipulation tactics and slowly setting lower and lower standards each year as fast as they could be accepted. They're clearly not worried. They haven't even tried to force a counter narrative, unless you think Piratesoftware is bought. But then, all it took was that ugly, unpopular narcissist to completely derail the movement?

I support stuff like this because I anticipate a harsh crackdown on piracy by governments/big businesses at some point I'm the future, and piracy is basically the only thing preserving a large amount of good videogames

>>713698157
>I don't have the internet but I want to play a live service game, I also can't read

>>713698116
No, there's no misunderstanding
There's people with principles who see the bigger picture and reactionaries just trying to punish people they don't like

Is anywhere ITT aware of how Chet Faliszek is the biggest of all time?

>>713698229
>I anticipate a harsh crackdown on piracy
there's no reason to anticipate this

>>713698150
Won't they just say the bare minimum "we plan to end support for this game in the future, you won't be able to play it" and be done with it

>survival of the fittest
>social darwinism
don't let my heckin' shitty games nobody plays die!!!!!

>>713698273
The ferret rapist is deserving of punishment for his assassination of SKG and the other shit he's done.

>>713698317
they dont want to say even that because it would potentially scare customers away.

>>713698359
Well at least you admit you're just a torch waving member of the mob instead of someone with intelligence or principles

>>713698317
The bare minimum right now is flipping the switch without informing anybody.

>"If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing"

Oh yeah? So if you give a prostitute money, does this entitle you to rape her for the rest of her life?
Fucking retard.

>>713698353
The shit I buy shouldn't become unusable just because it isn't trending on TikTok, zoomzoom

>>713698150
wrong
the game has to be in a "reasonable playable state" which is retarded and vague

>>713698424
hey bud, I paid for a month of WoW, now they're saying I can't play it 31 days later?
STOP KILLING MUH GAMES

>>713698150
the developer cannot know when their game will go offline until after it has sold copies and they can measure its success.
worst case it could be like 2 weeks e.g. concord.
so it makes sense to just say "we may shut it down at any time" which is already typical EULA

>>713698391
Better than being a cocksucker who doesn't want to own anything.
Enjoy being nothing but niggercattle for the rest of your life

>>713698460

>>713698424
Piracy was never stealing, it's copyright infringement. You're actually not allowed to call it stealing or theft or you'd get rightfully bullied by the judge.

>>713698502
You can't "own" a video game you idiot it doesn't physically exist

>>713698424
A prostitute is a service. A game is a good.

>>713698317
Or they could just fucking release the ability to private server stuff once EoS is reached.

>>713698391
>intelligence or principles
You're clearly a fucking weasel, but you have no principles to speak of.

>>713698498
It doesn't even ask that there be an "end of life" plan before release.

>>713698317
That's where the specific laws kick in to enforce the company to be *specific* about the cessation of the EoL support.
Exact dates and shit.

>>713698528
I can physically hold the cartridges and the discs.
Therefore it does physically exist and thus own it

>>713698482
Because the CI isn't a law. Lawmakers will make the law and define what's the edge then. It's not really up to Ross.

>>713698528
>it doesn't physically exist
Do people like you think data isn't a physical thing? Why do you think we need storage mediums? Just because it's infinitesimally tiny and weightless does that mean it doesn't physically exist? Does air not exist?

>>713698502
I own a house, something that actually matters, not some shitty video game from 12 years ago I'll never touch again.

>>713698529
A car is also a good but you still need to do regular maintenance on it or it will become useless.

>AAAAAAAAAH SAVE ME CAR COMPANY. YOU HAVE TO REPAIR MY CAR FOR FREE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I GAVE YOU MONEY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHI'MGAY

>>713698529
the disc is a good, the server is a service
you know, like the word SERVE
Actual 80 IQ retard

>>713698482
What's retarded or vague about that? A game is either playable or unplayable after EoS.

>>713698652
So... When you buy a car can the company remotely brick it, retard?

>>713698652
It's reasonable to expect a repair manual and aftermarket parts. What's being asked for is the game equivalent.

>>713698435
>By accepting this agreement, I acknowledge access to online services can be terminated for saying "nigger".
>*Accept*
>...
>"Nigger"!
>You have been banned for saying "Nigger".
>WTF?! Nobody told me I couldn't do that! Money literally STOLEN! I'm gonna sue!

>>713698618
Alright then I hope one day in the future you get a call from the bank or a realtor telling you that you suddenly don't own your house despite buying it and paying off the mortgage.
See how you fucking like it then

>>713698675
Unfortunately that is not disclosed at point of sale for many titles bought physically, making them directly violate the European Misleading Advertisement Directive
>but it's on the back of the box!
It has to be clearly visible.

>>713698703
then opening the menu cand pressing connect is "a reasonable playable state"

>>713698710
>>713698737
You're just mad that you can't leech off of developers and publishers for free just because you dropped 50 bucks on a game 15 years ago.

>>713698652
Terrible analogy. It's more like if the car company confiscated your car and didn't even give you the option to maintain it yourself

>>713698765
>actually defending that
Hi Jason.

>>713698652
A game doesn't need maintenance

>>713698786
Nope, because I read the contract and know what I paid for.

>>713698793

These threads are the best example of the campaign to destroy chans. You see the autist trying to destroy any discussion posted in the same easily identifiable way, either it's a group, a bot, or just a single guy with no life. You can see that at least 33% of all posts in this thread were made by him (who has no interest in the subject, he is interested in making the board uninteresting to other users.), and the fucking moderators, who are completely oblivious, do nothing.

>>713698891
For purposes of this part, “clear and conspicuous” means that a disclosure is difficult to miss ( i.e., easily noticeable) and easily understandable by ordinary consumers. * * * In any communication using an interactive electronic medium, such as social media or the internet, the disclosure should be unavoidable

>>713698424
No because the money I payed that prostitute was for a specific amount of hours of sex, not a lifetime deal
I mean, I guess you could pay a prostitute for a lifetime of sex...I guess that's marriage.

>>713697603
he co-founded a game publishing company along with another tuber (that does all the work) mere months prior to SKG. skg mainly impacts publishers

>>713698609
Caveman fucking response, the game is a configuration of data than can be endlessly replicated, not the physical object that stores a copy of it

>>713698765
That's not how it works, because terms of agreement are not law. You can't just write anything you want in the EULA and expect people to be compliant with it. There is actually a specific EU law that prevents it.
Therefore Blizzard stating in their EULA that they can revoke your game licence under any pretext would be illegal in Europe. That's why USA is a third world country.

>>713698960
>buy online game
>don't go online to check EULA
you're a retard

>>713698940
>you lose your copy of the game
That's your problem

>>713698652
You know what you're absolutely right.
I shouldn't be expected to be able to have the right to repair my vehicle.
I should be expected to buy a new one whenever the one I own breaks down.

>>713698482
How is it "vague"
Any game can easily be made single player. Even an MMO can be made single player easily.

>>713697603
He doesn't hate it, probably even supports it. That won't make him special though which is what matters. He's special now because he's "the voice of reason" regardless of how wrong it is.

Yes. Updated and new technology is better. Your presence on the road is a liability while you're in that dingy ass rustbucket that you bought five years ago.

>>713698482
>vague
What is vague about it nigger? You must be able to play the game and by reasonable this obviously means you need to actually be able to PLAY and not just launch it which i am sure some publishers would try and to.

>>713699102
Forcing you to play always online on official servers that they can take down on a whim

>>713699005
Can you say "nigger" in online games licensed in the EU without Interpol raiding your house?

>>713699065
He's the voice of a tranny, not reason

Honestly can't tell if you're being ironic or just retarded.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know physical media didn't actually count as physical fucking media.
How do you manage to live when you suffer from braindead retardation

>>713699189
Yeah, I play Helldivers 2 with an American

>>713699235
What does this even mean?

>>713699186
What's even funnier is that they are now doing this for singleplayer games that have ZERO reason to have online components.
>this singleplayer game you bought
>you can't play it now
This thing personally pisses me off and i hope SKG passes so we can finally be rid of this shit videogame publishers are trying to pull.

>data doesn't physically exist
this is the man who would say atoms don't exist because you can't see them.

>>713699289

Yes, i can.

>>713699325
Data can be endlessly replicated at no cost

>>713699189
Obsession with niggers is an American thing.

>>713699189
Yeah, I can. Can you boycott Israel?

>>713699338
I don't understand the question

>>713699406
>electricity and storage space doesn't cost money

>>713699460
Then a game would be worth 0.001 cents

You do understand you just don't have a way to refute it.

This might be our make or break moment.

>>713699616
You have literally no idea how to communicate
I have no idea what "physical media" means in your small little brain
The physical media stores a copy of the data that represents the game, an intellectual concept, this data can be copied endlessly
You buy a license to to play the game, owning the physical media has nothing to do with it

>>713699667
He's Canadian.

>>713684667 (OP)
qrd? what's it about?

>>713699763
Forcing publishers to have end of life plans for vidya with online
Whether that be shit like MMOs or hero shooters, or games that require online connection to run their single player like some ARPGs.

>>713699763
A law to make it illegal for companies to make games you bought unplayable. For example you can no longer play Dark Spore even if you bought it because the authentication server was shut down. The law would require devs to allow people to play it either single player or host their own server

>>713699690
So... is a book a license? It's a physical medium containing data (noun a piece of information.) that can be copied endlessly.

Where do you even sign this shit?

/v/ contrarianism has gone to far. I’m supposed to believe that companies stealing games I bought 10 years ago is “Reddit” now? Get out of here.

Owning the physical media has everything to do with it you malformed troglodyte.
I physically own the fucking video game it is mine.
The data that is stored on the disc or cartridge is physically fucking stored there.
Of course the fucking data can be fucking endlessly copied because you can fucking make fucking backups of it.
It doesn't change the fact that I physically tangibly own the damn thing.

>>713684667 (OP)
Be realistic, it was always gonna die because a petition means nothing. Even if the European Commission is obliged to consider the petition, it doesn't mean they'll do anything about it except give you an answer about how it's very important, but it's not a priority for us at the moment.

Yes but /v/ is not the only place where SKG is getting visibility. Remember that Youtube exists and gamers that are underage watch youtube videos. I am sure that at least a few underage gamers would've loved to be able to vote for SKG(if they understood what SKG would mean for the future).

You do not own the video game

>>713700101
Shit, you're right, live service shit is an exclusively videogamey problem

This is why i hope SKG works and gets the needed amount of signatures. That will futureproof videogames against videogame publishers becoming more and more predatory.

>>713699821
>>713699823
won't the usual methods around that still work though? like selling the title to a throwaway company and close it anyway i dunno

>>713699986
Lol, it'd go down like this
Germany, Hans Zegenzauer (91): I fucking hate ze americanz, move forward
France, Samir Bordeaux-Trivetre (37): I am also, not uh fond of zem
Spain, Jose Capote (41): Àpple bricked my AiPhone! Fuck em!
And so on and so forth.

>>713700167
Are you a fucking hillbilly or something? The law objectively exists, a video game is intellectual property owned by the people who made it, you have a license to play it, that's it
These are facts, not opinions

>>713699981
>>713699904
You're both faggots for different reasons
A book is no different from a game. It's product you're entitled to use ad infinitum (supposedly) but you don't OWN the contents of the book. You can't go around printing a book and then reselling the prints. Heck people get in all manner of shit for reprinting school manuals for later use, and public libraries have gotten into shit over it too. Never mind science articles and other such shit.
At the end of the day, physical media makes it easier to use what you bought since it means they can't just cut you off with a flip of a switch, but you don't OWN it. Ownership implies something entirely different from a legal standpoint.

>1 month left
>need to double the vote count
Yeah I don't think that's happening

>>713700094
No one is seeking to own the fucking intellectual property. I OWN a copy of the intellectual property which I may use as I see fit except for things that violate LAW, not cope corporate EULA.
>>713700221
Owning a copy of the work isn't owning the intellectual property of the work you slimy fuck. No one is arguing that and you're a strawmanning snake.

Stop using your phone, pc, internet, drink no more water and dear lord do not eat anything you bought since all of that shit is regulated since otherwise corpos would fuck you so hard you'd be dead within a fucking week you massive fucking retard.
You niggers can never, ever argue in good faith. You fucking know that you're wrong on every level yet still do it.

You guys are alright sometimes

>>713700281
>I OWN a copy of the intellectual property
No you don't. You can't "copy" intellectual property. You can copy physical data (but you can't own it). You own the physical medium the data is on. You have a license to play the game.

>>713699934
surely he actually released a game if he won that award...

>>713700337
Some things should be regulated and some things shouldn't
Video games shouldn't be regulated, this is my honest opinion, sorry you find that hard to deal with

>>713700262
>Ownership implies something entirely different from a legal standpoint.
Ownership is the state or fact of legal possession and control over property, if I purchase a copy of a copyrighted work, I have property, POSSESSION of that copy. You are not in any right to remove it from my possession.
>BUT YOU CAN'T REPLICATE IT
No one is arguing that you can, copyright law exists to protect artists from that, and I support it. What I don't support is you making a disgusting, slimey argument that implies ANYONE thinks ownership of a replication is not real and always needs to be a license.

>>713700221
And it's a fact that I own the disc and/or the cart.
Therefore I own the video game.
I am not talking about owning the IP.
I don't want the IP.
I am just stating that I physically own a copy of the video game or the software and it is permanently mine until the day the disc rots or the heat death of the universe

>>713700331
This, we should leave being a dystopian, anti-democratic supranational entity that actively steals money, sovereignty and rights from european citizens to the big american corporations. I obviously support TTIP. And I am trans, if that matters.

>>713700396
>if I purchase a copy of a copyrighted work, I have property, POSSESSION of that copy. You are not in any right to remove it from my possession.
That's not how it works

doesn't work like that outside of murica

>>713700431
>And it's a fact that I own the disc and/or the cart.
>Therefore I own the video game.
Wrong, because a video game is IP

>>713700390
>Video games shouldn't be regulated, this is my honest opinion, sorry you find that hard to deal with
Good thing it's not about regulating video games, but shitty business practices.

>>713700347
>You can't "copy" intellectual property.
Do you know what a copy is? Do you know what "owning a copy" means? Do you know why we refer to game sales, DVD sales, CD sales as "copies sold"? Because they are legally sanctioned copies produced for mass consumption.
>You own the physical medium the data is on.
I own the physical medium AND the data inside. I may do with that data what I see fit within the confines of the law. But EULAs are NOT law.

>>713700493
That's literally how it works everywhere that has IP law

>>713700507
In other words regulating video games

>>713700457
That is exactly how it works. Pass a law course retard. Spreading unsanctioned copies is a punishable crime, which is why I specified the LAW.

>>713700518
You can't "own" data. Data isn't property or intellectual property. You own the physical media (which is property), and you have a license to play the video game (which is intellectual property).

i've stooped low but even i have limits

>>713700624
>You can't "own" data
Lol

>>713700390
If the companies can't be trusted to regulate themselves then it should fall on the government to forcibly regulate them.
>>713700495
I still own a copy of the video game.
A COPY
Get it.
Owning a copy does not mean I own the IP.
It means that I own my own COPY of the video game.
If you're not going to argue with anyone in good faith then you should make like a tree and fuck off.

STOP ATTACKING THE BULTIMILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES

>>713700721
What are the legal ramifications of selecting some files and pressing Control+C Control+V?

>>713700281
Anon if you owned the game you'd be able to do what you will with it including make copies of it to resell it.
You don't own that game, you own the specific copy and that's that. You've got to spot conflating ownership in the big sense and ownership of the specific copy because that's part of the reason this shit gets so bogged down.
Ownership, by the way, is IRRELEVANT for this mess. I don't want to own the fucking game. I just want the corpo to guaranty I can keep playing my copy.
>>713700396
It 100% always needs to be a license to use the work. It simply cannot be a license that can be revoked. That simple

>>713700752
>It means that I own my own COPY of the video game.
You own physical media, you have a license to play the video game (which is IP)

>>713698317
No one will buy something that is going to end in x days, hence the corp shills.

>>713700624
>You can't "own" data.

>>713700814
You're doing the thing again.
You are being willfully ignorant.

>>713700980
yea you can and you do. what your license doesn't have is the right distribute said software

>>713698538
It's so funny how a lot of the zoomers and stuff I've seen defend these practices don't grasp the fact that. was never a problem until recently. But their scope of knowledge is only the past five years or at worst 5 minutes of what's happened

>>713684667 (OP)
>>713685027
finally
WE
WILL
OWN
NOTHING
AND
BE
HAPPY
YAAAAAASSSSSS

>>713701069
Ignorant of what? You don't seem to understand what ownership entails. The video game is IP. You do own something when you buy a physical copy of a video game, but it's not the video game. It could be a dumb client that connects to a server, and the owners of the server could shut down their server and your client would be useless. And then you would say "but I own the video game, I'm entitled to have it work". But you don't own it

>>713701138
Well yes, before we had everything digital shit didn't matter
Even books. You brought up books, and nobody's gonna come into your fucking house and take book copies away or god forbid update your copies to reflect a recent print or edition. But ebooks? Goddamn right you can get fucked in the ass. Legally even.
Science articles and school manuals though, that's the big one. Libraries get into shit all the time over those.

>>713701212
>You do own something when you buy a physical copy of a video game, but it's not the video game.
Oh yeah right my bad the video game I bought was actually a music cd.
Are you for real?

>>713701212
That's where you're being retarded yourself
If they sell you a fucking game, the game needs to work period, forever, end of fucking story?
>Oh but muh servers can't work forever
Cool, make it so the game works offline once you're done hosting servers. Fucking Thor brought up FF14 as if that game couldn't easily be made to run entirely offline with just a few numbers adjustments on the dungeons and raids. Heck not even since with the thrust system you'd just need that implemented everywhere.

>>713701313
How many times do I have to tell you a video game is intellectual property
You own a physical disc, you may have legal rights in that the data on the physical disc needs to match the data that is the physical manifestation of the intellectual property that is a video game, but you don't own a video game

>>713701385
>If they sell you a fucking game, the game needs to work period, forever, end of fucking story?
There's no law that says so

>>713701419
No I own a physical COPY of the video game dipshit.
Get it fucking right

>>713701476
Legally you don't because a video game is IP, you own a license to play it
You're just going round and round in circles

>>713701446
Yes, which is why this fucking initiative was created.

>>713701518
Pretty dumb idea
Why should game developers be required to constantly mantain their games for free
Nobody else is required to sell products that work forever

>>713701582
Retard. Nobody is asking for this. They are asking for the ability to maintain the game to be given to the consumer. If the developer does not want to support said game anymore they should let the people who bought the game be able to support it with private servers.

>>713701515
I'm going in circles because you can't disprove the fact that I physically own a copy of a video game.
It doesn't have anything to do with owning the IP.
It never had anything to do with that.
Like how many times must it be stated that owning a COPY of something does not mean you own the IP.
God you're such rat fucking bastard you know

>>713701582
>Why should game developers be required to constantly mantain their games for free
They're not, they're just required to make sure the game runs offline. That's all they need to fucking do
For example. It's not their job to guaranty you maintain a copy of that game. If your disk borks? That's on you. If Steam goes belly up and you can't download the game off Steam anymore? That's on you.
But if the game requires access to publisher/dev maintained servers and they no longer want to maintain that? Make it so it doesn't need that access.

>>713701752
>They are asking for the ability to maintain the game to be given to the consumer.
Nobody else is required to do this for their products either
Games don't work forever, old games don't work on newer operating systems

>>713701768
>you can't disprove the fact that I physically own a copy of a video game.
Look into IP law, read the EULA that comes with the games you buy

>>713701816
dumb fucking zoomer retard

>>713701515
This is utterly deranged thinking that equates digital=No ownership.
>You bought a book on Kindle? You don't own the book just the IP.
>You bought an album in Apple Music? You don't own those songs, just the IP.
You're a genuine scumbag.

>>713701847
A EULA is not legally binding.

>>713701768
You're going in circles because you're the one that needs to bend. So long as you claim owning a copy isn't own a license you're going to be constantly confronted with the fact you're legally wrong.
You own a license. Period. The fact it's through physical media doesn't change the letter and intent of the law.
The goal here is not NOR SHOULD IT BE to change this fact. Merely to make sure that if you own a damn license, that's a lifetime thing that cannot FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER be revoked or denied access to. Just like if you own a book, they can't deny you access to your fucking book by going into your house and taking it.

>>713701419
in eu everything is either goods or service
software is treated as goods

nobody is claiming that owning a good gives you the ownership of the ip. if you buy a car you own that car but don't have the right to start manufacturing them and selling them using the name.

>>713701847
>The contract says they can do this.
If the company made a contract saying they can rape your mother, I don't think that suddenly makes it legal.

>>713701847
>EULA

>>713701914
Yes it is you dumb fuck, why else would they exist?
Here's one you can read:
https://www.ubisoft.com/legal/documents/eula/en-US
Some quotes:
>THIS PRODUCT IS LICENSED TO YOU, NOT SOLD.
>All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the Product (including, without limitation, all text, graphics, music or sounds, all messages or items of information, fictional characters, names, themes, objects, scenery, costumes, effects, dialogues, slogans, places, characters, diagrams, concepts, choreographies, videos, audio-visual effects, domain names and any other elements which are part of the Product, individually or in combination) and any and all copies thereof are owned by UBISOFT or its licensors.

>>713702000
Contracts aren't above the law you idiot

>>713685027
I kneel.

>>713702031
Still doesn't change the fact that it wouldn't hold up in court.

>>713702148
So long as the contract is legal (which that is), then it will hold up in court
You have literally no idea what you're talking about

>>713702063
Yeah, that's my point.
A contract or EULA isn't innately the end all-be all line that determines legality if the contract is unreasonable or breaking preexisting law.

>>713702213
EULAs aren't legally binding.

>>713702264
Yes they are, you have no idea what you're talking about

>>713702292
No they aren't

>>713702031
>why else would they exist?
To scam retarded people who are not aware of their rights.

>>713702292
Source?

>>713702326
You know nothing about the law and are simply repeating dumb shit you heard 4chan users say
Type "Are EULAs legally binding" into Google and enlighten yourself

>>713702397
So now you result to google having to do your arguments for you.
What's it like being born with no sense of shame?

>thread about EU law
>some retarded burger sperg spergs out about burger EULA bullshit
nobody cares faggot, go be retarded elsewhere

>>713702478
Argument? This is simply a fact. I told you they're legally binding. If you want proof, Google it and see what actual lawyers say.

>>713702530
And it's simply a fact that you're a bullshit artist

>>713702597
Type it into Google bro

>>713702031
You can't sign off your rights you dumb nigger
You can't sell yourself to slavery, any contract having such a clause would be automatically void
Consumer rights are rights too, and there are consumer protection laws that will always take precedence over whatever the fuck you can write in an EULA
Some years ago a company did a funny and added a clause to the EULA that said "by accepting these term and conditions you sell your soul to us", you think that shit has any legal weight? Get real retard

>>713702530
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-user_license_agreement
>Enforceability of EULAs has been a controversial issue and varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, it is possible to enforce a EULA that is shown to the customer after purchase, but this is not the case in Germany. European Union law only allows for enforcement of EULAs insofar as they do not breach reasonable customer expectations.

>>713702635
>You can't sign off your rights you dumb nigger
That's right
But you don't have a right to play a video game forever

>>713702629
How about you go fuck yourself.

>>713702148
If course it would hold up in court you fucking idiot. It's copyright.
It's not some bullshit "we can harvest your organs" nonsense like you think it is EVERY PIECE OF MEDIA SOLD TO A CONSUMER is a licence, so even if there wasn't an EULA to agree to you would still only have a licence for the game and that's world wide so you can't use
>lmao murrica
As an excuse.

Why are you SKG supporters such fucking ignorant corpo cocksuckers? You wouldn't even need this initiative if you just looked into what you were buying.

>>713702665
Why? Because I'm right and you're a little baby?
Grow the fuck up man, this is embarassing

>>713702687
Yeah nah you're just talking shit

>>713702653
>European Union law only allows for enforcement of EULAs insofar as they do not breach reasonable customer expectations.
Anon, that means everything applicable to actual law is enforceable you fucking moron.

>>713702753
Okay go on and explain how without looking like a desperate American nigger.

>>713702828
Only american niggercattle give a shit about EULAs

>>713702754
>insofar as they do not breach reasonable customer expectations
Learn to read.
Unless of course you think it's reasonable expectation for the thing you payed for to become unusable 10 years down the line for no reason

>>713702931
You need to find an actual definition of what "reasonable customer expectations" is here

>>713703005
Holy shit you DO think it's in any way reasonable to loose access to a game you payed for 10 years down the line for no reason

>>713703005
It's whatever me as a customer reasonably expect

>>713703084
No I don't

>>713702660
if we treat games like products i get to keep the product forever, like a CD, a book, a VHS, and play it forever
If we treat games as services consumers need to be aware of the end of service date
If a GaaS has a subscription, fine, your terms are clear.
If it's a one time purchase, sold with a perpetual license, and in 2 years the publisher pulls the plug making me unable to play my game, that's a scam
And you're a cuck for defending this practice

>>713685213
>>713685027
I thought this was yms.

>>713703152
I defend the right of businesses to practice whatever business model they want so long as it's honest, personally I don't like GAAS, but you always have the option to not buy these games

>>713703213
Nah this guy fucks rodents.
YMS just fucks dogs.

forsen

these threads are perfect evidence of how compromised this site is by corpo shills

>>713703231
How is any of this honest?

>>713703361
If they tell you what you're getting into then it's honest

>>713703231
>so long as it's honest
So you ARE against them after all. Good thing we agree.
