All gaming youtubers and streamers ignored it. It's almost like they don't care about games or they're worried about their sponsored streams.

>>713692174
NTA but I think it's unfair and hasty to immediately jump to the conclusion that people outright ignored it instead of just simply not knowing about it.
The flow of information is a fickle thing and if we go by the ~500k votes, there isn't really a lot of people in youtube scales who genuinely supports this movement. It's incredibly possible, if not outright probable, that people simply didn't know.

One MMO youtuber, Josh Strife Hayes for example, only started to talk about it a month ago because he didn't know about. He started to talk about it before this current wave of youtube videos so it would be also wrong to say that it would be riding the wave.

>>713692480

Ah yes, the organic votes. The votes that are very organic and homegrown.

Holy shit can the uninformed zoomer consuiming fucking FAGGOTS stop spreading missinformation?

This is GOOD for the consumer because it FORCES COOPERATIONS aka THE JEWS to stop supporting their games you retarded mongoloids.
This will affect EVERY

you better read this. i spent 5 minutes on it.

since that fag banned me on his "channel", might as well.
why does the monkey talk about topics he can't take the heat from? moron

chet faliszek fallacies:
29:15 whaaat a fucking faggot. GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY OMG
"it's ok for a game to implode at the end. LIKE BANKSY. THAAAT'S THEEEIR RIGHT"
TELL ME THIS WAS NOT SAID.

2:45 - 4:15 he planned to make a game, by the looks of it he already BANKED on it it will do well and then he had to look for a company to provide a service for him to a) maintain long-term multiplayer and b) to help him sunset it? is that fag for real?
regulations like stop killing games would've allowed him to know he has to make it available either way and calculate that into his costs if he wanted to enter that market, otherwise it would've been a bottom feeder release anyway which he also could've used to calculate into his costs.

how could he have worked for Valve, if he exactly knew that every game they made, had dedicated server binaries for everyone to download. i really wonder what type of role he had there, certainly not technical by the looks of it and he has not extracted anything from there while he was there.

Unless he does SBMM EOMM Activision scammery, then there's no need to worry about tweaking the algo every week to min/max player levels & "their satisfaction". you create an algo for latency & rank and be done with it, then reduce parameters after N amount of minutes to not make it a forever search. there are so many possibilities. or better yet, have variables to tweak in the server software you provide.
it could be so simple.

even consolefags could potentially benefit from this and Sony and MS will get raped a new one while we're at it
Faliszek is dumb as fuck

Gamers are the lowest IQ people on earth and have continually voted against their best interests. They are paying for online on console, they gladly accepted the death of physical copies on PC, they accepted full-priced games having microtransactions and they fucking LOVE FOMO battle passes.
Not a single person with an IQ above 90 would ever be against this initiative (unless there's something weird in the fine print I haven't noticed). Unfortunately, that means the overwhelming majority of gaymers do not meet that threshold.

>>713693819
Who is that guy to begin with?

>>713693819
8:30 - 9:00 I see the problem now. this sort of sounds like he wants to be able to close the game but still somehow make money on the live-service aspect of the game.
well if the servers are not hosted by you but some benevolent IT admin or clan, like it had been throughout the 2000's, then you won't see a dime except for the game sales. ??
this is exactly why gamers want legislation like that. we bought it, we want to use it. the rest is inconsequential.
you don't get to have your cake and eat it too.

I wished him success for his release back in the day but any business has risks attached to it, even hospitality stuff needs to calculate how much foot traffic they need and so on. what a fucking pent up fag. it's crazy

The point is that I will never support SKG because you should not be allowed to run your own servers for a live service game either way. It doesn't matter what excuses you come up

You don't want more games to end up doing that? The most likely result is they dump a offline installer that then gets hosted on abandonware sites. ((Assuming they don't get out of it with some legal mumbo jumbo.))

>>713693663
What do you do about stuff like Atomfall that all material labels as a single player offline game, but secretly has always online requirements?

That's bad if it does, at the very least games should clearly state this to buyers.

>>713705495
Literally none of them do, every single one of them could be sold to you, and your copy remotely bricked tomorrow.

It's a scam, and it has a big profit incentive. Want to sell a remaster? Brick the old game! Need people to buy a lackluster sequal to The Crew? Make it so they can't play it!

>>713687298
FUCK YOU YOU FILTHY FERRET FUCKING FAGGOT

Good news guys, the Concord playerbase has joined in! Next we'll get the support of the Lawbreakers fans!

>>713687751
I always felt like the best way to hold them accountable is to make them go out of business. Ubisoft deserves every reason to go out of business.

>>713706590
Yeah I don't think regulating this stuff is the right way, people should just stop buying stuff from these shit companies

>>713705746
So have any single player only games been shut down?

>>713706385
Ironically concord is an example of proper closure: they refunded everyone

>>713706590
If a company like that goes out of business you end up with thousands of workers uneemployed and the execs landing into other companies of the industry with their golden parachutes, to keep doing what they've been doing, namely increase shareholder revenue at any cost

>>713699239
companies releasing source code for their discontinued games is not only moral but also builds goodwill between them and the customer

>>713706763
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is broken, and can't be completed unless you get a pirated pre-always online patch, then modify the files with a fan patch. Dead Rising 1 is the same deal.

They literally broke them so people would buy the remake. The slippery slope is back there dude.

>>713706969
Maybe you're not seeing the bigger picture here, I argue the only reason slimy CEOs can maximize shareholder value is by getting something out of the consumer.

I'm on the fence about this initiative because I don't believe in using regulation as a magic wand for problems we could nip at the bud instead.

In fact, I think regulation makes it harder for competition entering the market. Perhaps that's even why we're in this situation. Wouldn't we want more options to choose from instead?

>>713706979
wish this was true. AMD releases code for almost everything they do (FreeSync, FSR, ROCm etc.) and nvidia is still on top.

>I think regulation makes it harder for competition entering the market
being forced to account for an end of life plan isn't that much of a burden. If you develop with a sunset in mind it comes at no cost. Plenty of companies are already doing that regardless
It's like GDPR forcing companies to deal with privacy and security.
Sure, having to hash data instead of storing everything in plain text is a bit of extra work, but if you're not following what is the "state of the art" you're at risk of being penally liable in case of fuck ups. And if you can't afford to hash passwords, maybe you shouldn't be in the business

>>713708638
No need to say anything. Just consider that this place consumes you a lot more than you think it does.

>>713708564

>Just consider that this place consumes you a lot more than you think it does.
Anon I've been here since 2009. Despite my fuckups I still managed to keep going, this site isn't anymore dangerous than your average social media rotting the normies brain.
But we're digressing, OP topic is SKG.

>>713708070
>Wouldn't we want more options to choose from instead?
naive thinking here, anon but I get your honesty.
In a perfect world we wouldn't even need this but since as you said, CEOs ARE slimy, they'll more often than not try to give the consumer either a faulty product, or a product with a timer hidden inside (Samsung and Apple planned obsolescence, Lightbulbs companies purposefully selling lightbulbs that burns after ~2k hours to keep selling them, Teslas odometers counting miles / km faster than what was actually driven to avoid warranty repairs etc)
So, taken this into account, it's only fair to get governmetns involved to protect consumers, since more often than not, people aren't literate enough to make a thoughtful purchase, hence justifying the companies half measures in the process
>people keep buying my product, let's see how further I can go with screwing them up for profit

>>713708886
Big businesses were at some point small businesses, small businesses that wouldn't be able afford to do the things regulation would compel them to do.

Like you for example, what if you wanted to get into a market? You may be under the impression that it requires a massive overhead of money, but I argue this is because of your obligations under regulation.

Do you see what I mean?

I believe that we could allow the consumer to accept the risks they are comfortable with, instead of making false promises of safety between consumers and producers.

>>713709520
Thanks for being reasonable. If I had to make a response to this, it would be that people who do not make thoughtful purchases arguably do not deserve thoughtful products. So even with this I have low motivation to entertain this lobbying.

>>713709613

I struggle to put my response together so here's a list of my thoughts
1. You are free to allow what you want to allow.

2. Selling water with lead in it could potentially be useful for purposes other than directly drinking.

3. When choosing a product at a store, you are free to exercise your discretion, the same way you don't buy a bottle of bleach and drink it because it contains water.

4. I do not believe in inherently trusting anyone to ensure my wellbeing, especially strangers.
