Reminder for people who think the pushback against this is because "developing games would become more expensive":

>This has nothing to do with development cost, it's all about planned obsolescence. Publishers WANT games to be inaccessible at some point because then players would be forced to buy a new one.

>The worst thing for publishers is for games to never die, because people would still play old games. There's even a study that was done which confirmed that, on average, people are playing games that are at least 6 years old. This is terrible for sales, or at least it looks terrible in the eyes of publishers.

>That's also one of the major reasons why console companies are against emulation. The last thing Nintendo wants is for hundreds of thousands or millions of people to still play Gen1-Gen5 Pokemon without buying whatever the new generation is. And judging from pirated downloads, discussions and videos, there's still a fuckton of people playing PKMN versions released between 1996 and 2005 instead of buying and playing the new games. From Nintendo's perspective that's a $5-$100 million loss in sales per PKMN generation. So, they're literally losing sales to their own abandoned product.
>If they could just remotely kill that product (delete all old ROMs and cartridges), they believe it would bring them dozens if not hundreds of millions in profit.

So I get that there is attention for it due to Cr1tkal covering it, but I thought the problem was the language barrier.

>>713685985
The problem was that bad faith actors managed to muddy the water in the beginning, but now they lost control of the narrative.

>>713685985
Largely, yeah. The EU was never going to work like the US for this reason: the people are too divided by culture and language to even know what's going on in their neighbor states unless it gets big enough for someone to cover it in their own language. Imagine there being a language barrier between Texas and Colorado. Total dysfunction.

>>713685978

I'm glad that this has somehow picked up steam again. If it makes it, that'll be great, if it doesn't, at least we know there are people out there that care about this and might take up the mantle.

>>713685985
>I thought the problem was the language barrier.
It is. Most Euros don't speak English at all and at most just understand a dozen of words. Similar to how a weeb would understand a dozen basic Japanese words.
The generations which know English are all under 30yo.

I have no idea what's going on. What got killed?

>>713686082
>Imagine there being a language barrier between Texas and Colorado
Holy KINO this would be so peak, we need to ban English in all 50 states and only allow injun languages so this kino could come true!

>>713686168
>>713686082
So why the sudden uptick? If the problem was the language barrier then why is it suddenly now surging again after more english videos came out?

Still confused why there are fags on this very board unironically bitching and moaning about this

Unless if the game has a dedicated autist who can trick the game into connecting to a random server instead of the one hard coded for the game, not really.

>>713685985
Yeah, apparently Americans can't speak or understand English properly.

>>713686332
It's for games that require servers they phone home to. MMOs, live service, etc. Things that effectively cease to exist entirely when the devs take down the official servers. This would let players host their own servers.

>>713686359
So you don't know.

>>713686362
Which games does this affect? Examples?

>>713685985
>>713686082
that's bullshit, most young people in europe know english, especially when they play games
I know france, spain and germany translate a lot of their games, but even still most online-focused games are in english and they watch a lot of american tubers too

>>713686368
People managed to get the shit like Tera, Ragnarok Online, Lunia, and the old Capcom MMOs working

>>713686332
That would require that some autist can reverse-engineer the server software and then write a mod for the game that tricks it into connecting to either a locally hosted server, or a community-run one.

>>713686186
zoomers learning MMOs don't exist in perpetuity and started having buyers-remorse for all the money they wasted on Fortnite, so are now trying to force governments to seize the means of production and nationalise video games.

EU is literally the only option that matters, with the UK as emergency backup

>>713686397
>MMOs
Oh for fucks sake. So subscription based shit specifically? Games that didn't have an offline mode to begin with since they're entirely server based? The reasonable expectation there would be that they'd shut down at some point, if that's the case.

>>713685981
Did you take that from the page or something? What incentive are devs going to have to release games when they need to fork over an endless amount of money to keep dead servers active? This question has not been answered nearly a year onward.

>>713685981
I think the Pokemon comparison is pretty poor when it comes to SKG. Pokemon community has their own fans of nuzlocke, comp, and speedrunners who plays the older games. There is also connectivity between all gens + Pokemon Home.

Planned obsolescence is a good way to put it in general tho, as it is basically what devs/publishers are doing.

>>713686398
All MMOs, all games with centralized matchmaking, all games with persistent worlds, all games with live service elements like Helldivers 2.

Anything that requires connection to a central server to play.

>>713686373
Goverment involvement is what allows corporations and their bullshit in check.

He's yanking your chain. It's any game that someone has paid for. In fact, MMO's are the only exceptions that Ross outlined because those do have set service dates.

>>713686376

All games that are shit and should not be made

>>713686542
it's easier to just say you hate video games.

>>713686551
Oh, okay. That makes more sense then. So basically like those newer games that won't start unless you're signed in to your [insert publisher here] account. Fuck them for doing that.

If that's all this is about, I support it.

>>713686551
>MMO's are the only exceptions that Ross outlined because those do have set service dates.
what does that mean? mmos have expiration dates? first i've heard of it

>>713686475
You're mostly interacting with millennials and gen z then, since these generations grew up online.
Most of Europe just doesn't know English. I actually live here and I traveled to most Euro countries.

post yfw a law gets passed that requires Nintendo to release a server tool for legacy versions of fucking Mario Kart

>>713686649
Subscription MMOs are subscription services and as services, they're not goods.

How did we get thousands of signatures in the dead of night (EU time)? That's really impressive

>>713686606
That much should be obvious if you take a look where we are posting

>>713686693
yes i know, but it sounds like mmos somehow have set expiration dates
maybe i'm just reading it wrong

>>713686672
>tfw nintendo gets sued for shutting down mario royal

>>713686649
In the initial video he brings it up as a grey area because of subscription fees. So any game that has a mandatory subscription in order to access the game could get away with just being shut down, since it's primarily a service, rather than a good.

>>713686672
Nintendo is the one that's going to be least affected, all of their games are playable offline and they're dedicated to preserving their always online shit (see pocket camp getting an offline release). None of their games require server verification to start and are only partially multiplayer with no microtransactions. They're actually pretty good at preserving their own stuff.

>>713686634
Yeah, think of those games that for some reason don't have community servers and rely only on the developer server. That's what this is trying to punish.

>>713686649
The simple explanation is that MMO subscriptions are like any other subscription: You pay for a month of access and you get that access for the set period of time. Ideally, these wouldn't also go down in flames either but baby steps. Meanwhile, other games are treated as goods, sold as goods but are treated like services with no specific period of service. Could be 20+ years (Guild Wars) or 1 week (Concord).

>>713686709
>gamers have shit sleep schedules
What? No way?

>>713686373
yeah bro, let corporations decide on everything, that's soooooo much better

>>713685985
People can speak and understand english, that's not the problem.
The problem is that their native language doesn't have coverage about it, and many people don't go out of their way to listen english-speaking e-celebs.

>>713686739
It wasn't a paid product and offered as a free subscription bonus. There's literally no angle of attack to "get" Nintendo with this. Which is why I hope they'd support it publicly but optics and such

>>713686743
>>713686751
got it anons, now it makes sense, appreciate the explanation

>>713686649
>mmos have expiration dates?
Fucking obviously. They're entirely server based, you expect those servers to stay up forever and ever until the end of time? It's like demanding 4chan remain available to you for all eternity because you paid for a pass once, it's so clearly unreasonable it shouldn't have to be explained why.

>>713686756
>>713686709
Probably Russiabots in their siberian timezones (Ruzzians are the only ones pushing this so EU forgets about Ukraine so they can annex it.)

>>713686743
yeah if the game is explicitly advertused as a service you subscribe too, it wouldn't be covered by the same legal protections you should have when purchasing a product
right now everything is a shitfest of logins and servers when they shouldn't be able to

>you expect those servers to stay up forever and ever until the end of time?
obviously not, but i'd rather have the publisher be forced to release server code so people can enjoy it after it's shut down

Alright /v/, let's say you're Blizzard/Epic/Tencent etc. You're making an online-only game, but SKG's ideas become law in the EU.
You can't abandon the market, but you're clever. You can probably take advantage of loopholes to screw people over and force them to buy the next game anyways.

How would you "maliciously comply" with SKG while still TECHNICALLY following it to the letter?

I'm surprised he hasn't deleted it yet.

They just Killed Mario Kart World too.

Nintendo already does it, why can't (((they)))?

>>713686967
Never technically retire the servers, just leave them on outdated hardware with 1/1000th the power needed to make the game playable.

>>713686967
Make every game subscription based.
Wait no, that would still turn people away.

>>713686982
Daily reminder he's mainly assmad about this because he wants to make his own live service crap.

>>713686967
probably make some shit like "by paying for this product you're given a lifetime subscription to our services" or whatever and then when they shut it down they just say "well the subsceription expired, it's for the lifetime of the product duh" or some shit like that

The numbers would be higher if the UK was still in the EU

Nobody is asking for servers to be online provided by devs/publishers. The initiative is focused on the complete opposite - the situation when servers no longer exist.
Players (customers) should be given a way to self-host the minimum necessary server for the game to function. Either that or the game should be patched to have a built-in mocked game server to stay at least somewhat playable.
Talking about the specifics is pointless because it would depend on the game's tech stack and code structure. But, as a dev, I can tell you that this is not only doable but in many cases trivial.


>>713686498
>I think the Pokemon comparison is pretty poor when it comes to SKG.
The comparison is fair because this:
>Pokemon community has their own fans of nuzlocke, comp, and speedrunners who plays the older games
wouldn't be possible if these games were made with planned obsolescence like many modern games are. If all the game logic is done on a server, then it's a monumental task to make the games work by just having access to the compiled client.
If a more malicious company was behind pokemon, each time they released a new generation they'd just kill games that are 2-3 generations behind and all the exclusive pokemon from those gens would be micro-transactions in the new game.

>>713686880
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>713686437
Do you realize just how much work from very talented people with better to do must be put into doing something like reverse engineering? It's impossible to do it for every game, specially (You)r favorite one when it goes down.

>>713686982
Honest to god question, does piratesoftware have some kind of humiliation fetish?

MMOs are fucking gay soulsuckers

>>713687029
This gets brought up quite often but FaggotSoftware's involvement with Rivals of Aether 2 is marginal at best. He's basically a figurehead for the publisher and there are still people above him in the chain of command.
Him being against SKG isn't some long-nosed scheme, he is simply retarded.

>>713687132
>I can tell you that this is not only doable but in many cases trivial.
most overlooked element in this whole debacle

>>713686967
Just keep spaghettifying the code with endless updates and release new content as expansion packs that are required in all but name in order to play the game?

>>713686967
Instead of releasing dlc for the first game, leave it be and make the same game with some differences but with the dlc included that was originally planned for the first game. Repeat again for each dlc

>>baiting this hard
Not a single one you have ever answered the question. The only dev teams that are going to suffer really, let us be honest here, are small indie teams that can’t afford to keep up tons of servers for dead games. Companies should have a right to choose what they make open source and what tools they provide to their community, you can’t force things like this. I know you Europeans are used to getting your way about everything but there’s a reason a single American store like Home Depot has more value than all EU start-up companies from the last few decades. You’re all about uncontrollable regulation instead of innovation, this is why you lost your crown and why it will never return.

does anyone remember MAG from PS3? How great would it be if the game was left in a playable state somehow and you could still boot it up today, even with just bots?

>Which games does this affect? Examples?
If you want to play Monster Hunter Frontier in current year, you have to rely on internet autists hosting servers for you, for example. Frontier was also jap/korean IP locked for it's whole natural lifespan iirc so ironically it became easier to play after it died and autists reverse engineered servers for it.

I do wonder how this would affect something like City of Heroes. Where the game is dead, but Homecoming has an official license from NCSoft. The City of Heroes situation is obviously a bit different (since the code was leaked, there was a secret server running for years, etc), but I'm imagining a scenario where instead of releasing the source code or an executable or whatever, the company just offloads the responsibility to keep the servers running onto a third party under some kind of NDA to keep the code private. Is that considered alive? dead? undead?

In the case of steam, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only account bans I know of are community bans (No forums or community features) and VAC bans (No playing on VAC servers). You can still play the games that you bought from there.
Besides, most of the steamworks DRM is hilariously easy to bypass and make copies of.

>>713687132
>wouldn't be possible if these games were made with planned obsolescence like many modern games are
Yeah but PKMN games aren't. As other anons said, Nintendo is really good with this kind of stuff and letting their games always be playable offline.
Not defending Nintendo btw. Just that a proper example would be fitting. In discussion about the SKG iniatitive it is important to avoid examples that are easy to mistake as a lie.
>"Wait, but you can still play those Pokemon games alone or even local wireless, what is this about again?"
That is what I'm personally worried about. Especially when The Crew was the thing that launched this whole thing. The situation is so different in the end.
PirateSoftware kind of guys would knowingly take it out of context and insist you are demanding old Pokemon games being supported forever with trade servers etc.
And yeah I know it's from /g/ originally.

>>713686486
>Oh for fucks sake. So subscription based shit specifically?
No, that anon's a nigger trying to suck corporate cock because he's probably an e-drama addict or some shit between the organiser and an (ex)WoW dev.
Literally any multiplayer game that doesn't offer peer-to-peer matchmaking and requires you to connect to dev servers is affected by this and in some cases like The Crew (which started this shitshow), you lose the entire singleplayer part of the game also. Your copy is just bricked, forever.

The EU and Australia are the reason why Steam offers refunds. The EU is the reason why Apple switched to USB-C.

Thor is right.

1) It's impossible to tell what the movement actually wants.
2) Some games are meant to die. You are not supposed to play a live service game without the live service.
3) Forcing all devs to make sunset plans for their games will MASSIVELY disrupt game production.

>>713687567
afaik yes, but that's not the point. the argument of "well it's easy to just go arund the gate" isn't a good argument. why's the gate there then? how do you know they won't add a stone wall in the future? i want to have a guarantee.

This. And to add, most EU countries dont have a tradition of being an active citizen as a part of anyones daily routine (for example like in switzerland). The average Joe is far removed from not only from giving a fuq about computergames but also centers of power and democracy in general.
Im willing to bet that the general perception is that EU is that its some ivory tower in Brussels.

I bet you'd be screaming in rage if Steam announced they're adding Steam refunds today too, or if GoG actually came out this year with its sales pitch of keeping old games alive and DRM free products.
Here's something interesting your burger ass needs to know about Europa as well: they officially, legally allow resale of used digital licences of software and by european law, the original distributor of the software is not allowed to prevent in any form the act of selling your used software licence to someone else (as long as you're actually not using it anymore)
Of course, this made corpos feel pretty butthurt.

Didn't the Switch 2 include some sort of auto-bricking feature and some game cartridges which have online DRM to check if you actually own the game? Once those servers die (or if the individual Switch 2 is bricked/blacklisted from their services) it would also render the games unplayable. Unless I've been misinformed regarding this.

>Some games are meant to die. You are not supposed to play a live service game without the live service
Correct with a caveat.
If a game is advertised as a service and I am clearly informed that I'm buying a timed access then it's all cool. Example: subscription based MMOs
If a game is advertised as a good but in reality it's a service merely pretending to be a good with an unknown cutoff date then it's just scummy and the publisher deserves a figurative slap on the wrist. Example: any vidya using the GaaS business model

>>713688239
what i'd like in eu if every single product had to have a MADE IN information clearly visible, every single one, no exception. and also the MADE IN country would have to be the country where the majority of work took place, so no importing 2 halves of a mug from china, screwing them together and saying "assembled in spain" or some shit.

>>713687525
Unfortunately, like any EU regulation that does not address severe life threatening issues (such as regulating some food additives which may literally kill a consumer or whatever), these things are not retroactive.
Meaning that your specific example and every currently available or unavailable game will not be covered by such a regulation, only upcoming games after the regulation passes.
Source: phones were not recalled after the USB-C enforcement, it only affected next generation phones. Also no authority will break into your home to steam plastic bottles without the little added plastic thingy that keeps the bottlecup on there, it affected newly made plastic bottled bewerage.

As much as I dislike that some games may be lost forever already, it's genuinely unfair to force a company to hire additional teams to revive their dead games. Unless a topic is about life threatening issues, literally no similar regulation was ever retroactive.

Game developers want their games to remain playable in some form or another, even if it's complete shit.

>SKG is too vague
The general idea is clear and casting a wide net instead of pigeonholing on one facet of the issue raises the chances of anything being done. Figuring out the specifics is up to the lawmakers after an extensive consultation period with experts on both sides (consumers and publishers). The initiative passing doesn't guarantee that any bill will be drafted if the EU deemes the problem a nothingburger. It is simply a plea from the citizens to the EU to look into a problem. The differenting factor from a generic petition is that a citizen's initiative cannot be ignored.

Haven't any of you idiots learned about the shortcomings of Democracy: Most people are FUCKING IDIOTS and are not informed on what they purchase, leading the market to squeeze whatever it can from gullible consumers. Except it is worse since a person not buying is one vote, someone buying can be unlimited votes.

Well, some of those people would be practically correct. While companies did try hard to take away ownership at that age too, see DIVX, the disc format.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX
However they would be somewhat correct that all that crap was significantly harder to protect and enforce by companies. A middling script kiddie hacker could bypass almost every form of protection the companies invented and then the method or cracked files spreads like wildfire. Moreover, it was chiefly just a "Please don't" and can't do anything if you do, because of the lack of internet connection requirements mostly.

This isn't the case today with constant internet availability so those "Look at what we lost" people are technically correct, but so are you for pointing out that games weren't as pro-ownership before -atleast in theory- either.

So you are okay with applying the slippery slope fallacy to the government doing its job by regulating a completely lawless space that enables a corporation to just take my money and then later destroy what I bought with it completely scott and repercussion free, but you aren't applying it to the others side of the argument where publishers will eagerly embrace killing games precisely because it enables them to do it freely, so they can charge more for the same exact thing, when we have demonstrable evidence of it with the increased rise and prevalence of always online singleplayer games?

Isn't it really weird that after all this time there's still someone making constant posts in every thread in a similar format against this?

10 months later and every thread still has one guy spamming the same points...almost like he's paid to do it or has a vested interest...

To be clear it only affects games in the future, like starting from 2030 or so. It won't force old games to comply because that would be difficult/expensive/unfeasible when the studio's been long gone.

Ross did that, for 11 months. Because he hates internet drama. But as he mentioned, Pirate's initial completely and maliciously misrepresentative reaction to it is what vastly overtook all exposure of the project, to the point you couldn't fucking google or look SKG up without Pirate's garbage being the first result. The algorithm completely fucked over the initiative. And still Ross tried to not care. But now it's essentially over so he's got nothing to lose, might as well stir up some shit as a last ditch effort. And it might be working.

I'm not a zoomer nor do I watch Twitch so I have no fucking idea who piratesoftware is. What I have gleaned from faggots talking about him here, I dislike the guy.

I've been watching Ross for years though.

The piratesoftware guy is 100% correct and this is akin to Jobst being delusional about how things actually operate in the real world. We spent an entire generation, trying to keep government cunts from intervening in video games and now you zoomer cunts are just rolling out the red carpet for them.

So what did Asmongold say about this? He is the only one i turst.

>>713692448
He's afraid to say anything because he and Thor are supported by the same media company.

>>713692448
He likes and wants to see it succeed. He wants to stop killing games and start killing his father

He made a strawman that "SKG wants to forcibly turn multiplayer games to single player" then beat it to death.

I think he's sympathetic but also can't refute Pirate because he doesn't criticize his buds even if they deserve it.

>>713692543
fuck it
this image alone has convinced me to actually sign it

>>713692420
this is also about offline games that require you to connect to company servers each time for example to get "keys" to play said game

>>713692240
You lying misrepresenting scumbag

if only schnitzels had the same signature/capita ratio as Finland

If anything this all debacle has highlighted how fucking retarded people are, it's kind of sobering.

By the way there's a FAQ that answers all these questions. inb4 tldr https://www.stopkillinggames.com/faq

The people that are complaining (or rather, actually complaining, and not shilling the other side or things like that) are the same that won't give that link a second of time mate, it's useless

>>713692778
They are doing it on purpose to waste people's time.

>>713692757

>>713692240
Yes. I expect them to be my fucking slaves and give me their breast milk to drink, the way Roach Malware's friends enjoy it.

>>713693246
>What is Ross expecting the EU to do?
To actually concern themselves with the topic, which has never been done before.

>>713693286
this isn't the US election

>>713693246
>keep MMO servers online forever?
no, the goal is to provide ways to self host servers after the end of life, read the wesbite

>>713693246
>Keep MMO servers online forever
Yes, I want developers to KNEEL before paying customers.
They shouldn't spit in their faces, they need to KNEEL.

I hate that now half the board will begin sucking corpo dick out of contrarianism.

you guys are unironically doing more damage to yourselves than those corpos ever could

>>713693246
They do have documentation on how the previous CIs that hit the threshold were handled. You can try reading those.

>>713693379
it's the same 5 people each thread

>>713693286
I just signed it as my dead granny

>>713693379
It's /v/, you shouldn't expect better

>>713693160
it is.

>>713693246
yes. every EU politician would be forced to have a computer running an MMO server in their basement. that's exactly what this initiative wants.

>>713693286
I wonder if the votes count for people who sign it, but then die before the votes get checked for legitimacy.

>>713693334
to be fair, EU is bordering Serbia which
>historically faked votes by adding dead people
>even today forces people who work for a government owned company (most of the population) to take a picture of who they voted for. otherwise they get fired, or worse.
And Croatia is in the EU and their current major political party was caught bribing people to vote for them.

>>713693168
I may be misremembering but didn't the official EU site also have a map and list of countries when the initiative launched? I can't find it anywhere on their site but I could have sworn I saw it there about a year ago.
Did they take it down?

Since when has /v/ gone full communist? If I create a product, I should also have the right to decide to stop its production and service. End of story

>>713693512
There was, I dunno what happened to it. I just remember waiting excitedly for the benis to be completed.

>>713693334
i actually tried it andused my dead neighbours name while getting the birthdate, year and street wrong
seems like it works as long as you use a existing name and adress

intresting

>>713693528
retard

>>713691038
Ah yes as a EU citizen I hate how coffee is now banned.

>>713693528
Nobody is refuting that.
But if you sell a product, you're not allowed to deliberately brick it so that the customer's product is destroyed.

53%.
Love you bastards.

If I own a product, I should be able to use it for as long as I own it. Anything else would be communism.

>>713688471
This image is very dishonest. Of course American ketchup is not made with tomatoes when tomatoes don't grow in the US and would need to be imported.
Do you want to pay 3 times as much for staple food products?

>Digital products are completely different from any other products.
Exactly, they're even easier to maintain and modify. Which is precisely why this edge-case of a developer bricking a piece of software should be regulated.

>>713693567

i just filled in complete BS with a existing street and name and it REGISTERED

>>713693719
>tomatoes don't grow in the US
OOF

we need a petition to make shit like nintendo bricking your console if you tinker with it illegal. when i buy a device i have the right to do whatever the fuck i want with it, it's not a fucking lease

>>713693719

>>713693792
I'm pretty sure they don't brick it. They just prevent you from accessing their servers.

In the cases this initiative is aiming to combat, the content isn't entirely on that disc you own.
>inb4 "don't buy those"
I don't, and I want it to not happen to an otherwise good game in the future.

Someone might one day.

Guys, I think this government initiative might be connected to the government.
Should I be worried giving them my ID?

>>713694123
The free market is a meme that was sold as a valid possibility to midwits by those that owned the market. All power accumulates, financial power included, without external means of regulating it, it will coalesce and become uncontrollable.

>>713694156
your government already has your ID who the fuck issued it to you? are you an immigrant in fear of getting caught?

>>713694234
Yes

Unless they add it for no good reason (every time they've done it so far it has been for no good reason), or you only play old games (at which point, why would you be against being able to play games when the become older)

It's even dumber than this, because he and many others would do that if it was what was required (or even would help the chances). But for the sake of this type of initiative, it's not, and typing out a full -every case covered- legislation suggestion wouldn't just have been useless. It would have been failing the assignment.

gachatroons lost. multiplayer slop trannies lost. pirateGODS won.

>>713693528
A product doesn't require ongoing service.
And a purchase of a product isn't affected by discontinued production.
You have that right regardless.

>do you want devs servers forever?
Yes
>Do you want to make live service illegal
Yes
>You think the government should meddle with videogames
Yes
