This guy is way too nice for his own good
>>713693285 (OP)He seen some mold...
>>713693285 (OP)I don't know why he or anyone else isn't bringing up the fact that Thor is literally publishing a live service game right now and has a financial incentive to kill the SKG movement
>>713694527>Thor is literally publishing a live service gamePurely a coincidence, I am sure.
>>713694525>HE HAS>TO MAKE>THE MOVIE
>>713694527wasn't he making a earthbound/undertale clone? or is that fully abandoned?
>>713694662to him, being able to claim to be a dev and professional in the industry is probably far more important than actually releasing anything
>>713694662Who cares, he's a shit gamedev anyway
The problem is that his company published Rivals of Aether 2, a game with always online DRM
>>713694525I HAVE TO MAKE THE MOVIE
>>713693285 (OP)>This guy is way too nice for his own goodRoss would rather move out of the way for a tranny lover who completely ran his movement into the ground and not work with asmongold because his own audience thinks he some kind of neo nazi
I think there's a word to describe this self destructive behaviour
>>713693285 (OP)And too ugly for our own good.
Stop posting his retarded ratface.
>>713695167he's not a tranny lover he's straight up just a homo
>>713693285 (OP)he nearly killed the movement by not responding because "I'm not a drama youtuber" despite the fact the Mr. second puberty was straight up lying about what he was trying to do
>>713693285 (OP)I thought his latest video, the one with the response to the ferret fucker, painted a pretty humiliating picture of him. It was good, diplomatic, but I wouldn't call it nice. Seems it was great for the SKG movement, more importantly. At this rate it'll get enough signatures.
>>713693285 (OP)imagine blowing a lying scammer and saying he just didn't understand or know any better when he crushed a populous movement to save games from EOS rugpulls
>>713694662He worked on it lately because Valve added a "Abandoned" status on all EA that won't update for the game in the last +12 months and his game was like way overdue on this.
>>713694527>Thor is literally publishing a live service game >>713694756>his company published Rivals of Aether 2He's just some figurehead that might as well do nothing. Offbrand games is owned by another streamer and employs a bunch of people.
>>713695243he looks like the best type of dude to hang out with stop judging his sex appeal homo
>>713695296it was lack luster and seemed more like he was blowing the guy. ferret fucker is a liar. hes not some dumb troglodyte retard who doesn't know any better but is just making everyone else deal with his stupidity. Hes a malicious actor deliberately spreading falsehoods
>>713693285 (OP)Him being the face of the movement killed it
ugh he gave me the ick, when I saw his face I wanted to kill video games completely
t. femanon
>>713695265I hate to be the one that tells you this bro but traps and trannies are gay.
>>713695401Ross is simply too kind to call it like that without rock solid proof.
>>713695446Did he do something controversial in the past or something?
>>713694527is there really any person taking this furrfucker seriously? I feel like some people are against the petition out of contrarianism, some are libertarians and some are just interested in keeping vidyas how they are. I think this cunt is just a lolcow for everyone and doesn't influence thing, it seems it's agreed upon him being just a (you) generator
Gamers are the most pathetic subhuman consumer demographic in the world and they deserve this abuse.
>>713695401and his ego is bloated that no matter what, he must. be. right. Even if he killed a dude during a live show, on national tv, he will say and spout bullshit to prove his point. His stance on SKG in the first place was (and still is) by telling himself that this is X therefor the entire thing is bad.
>>713695493he sexted a man, not a trans or tranny, which is much gayer overall, he's just a classic homo
>>713695460Ross is a happily married man
>>713695519Cunt, he looks fucked.
Nobody wants to rally behind a loser.
Not even other losers.
>>713695401I didn't get that impression. He painted him as a rude, insecure liar with poor intelligence. He just did it very respectfully, which I'd say is generally preferable. Helps not putting the target in a position of power, to be blunt, but calm.
I do think it could've been better if he did it sooner, though.
>>713695546I really don't fucking know, it seems weird that anyone would organically support him, and him being laughed at and insulted every time I see him mentioned anywhere makes it more probable that the bulk of the opposition comes from shills.
>>713695568>EU gamersftfy
>>713695616You should never grade homos, for if one is the worst, then you might be tempted to have buttsex with the least.
>>713695616>Ross is a happily married manThat's good, but he looks fucked.
We live in a world that almost entirely judges everything off the immediate presentation.
To try and stand against that is stupid as fuck because you're trying to go against human nature and if you're trying to go against human nature, guess what? You set off ANOTHER instinctive warning sign in humans that says "THIS MOTHERFUCKER AIN'T REAL"
>>713693285 (OP)>wants to do something good for the Video game community>they hate him for thatMaybe it's not worth helping those retards out
>>713693285 (OP)Nah. Watch piratesoftware to see the buffoonery he tried to pull.
>>713693285 (OP)His biggest mistake was not making an explanation video in simpler terms what the whole thing was about.
>>713695363Likely the reason he goes so hard into strawmanning the petition wording as being too vague because he wants to skirt around definitions to avoid taking responsibility in his own work.
>>713695497every video is rock solid proof. the guy has tells for all his lies. he literally cut images of his tells on the video hes apologizing for him for
>>713695590no it isn't you fucking yid, hes LYING. he doesn't believe his own hype. thats how tells work. ferret fucker KNOWS he is guilty
>>713693285 (OP)why does /v/ hate Mold Man? I enjoy his content a lot
>>713695839the mold doesn't care about the outward appearance of the substrate it puppets
>>713695928he already did
I actually want to petition to go through just so ross can experience yuropean bureaucracy where nothing will happen and his hopes and dreams shatter to pieces
>>713695664>D-definition 2>muh politeit was definition 1 OBJECTIVELY
>>713695954people enjoyed his content so /v/ has to hate it
>>713695964I see. I haven't kept up with him anymore, but I felt like he should've done that right at the start because I saw so many people who dind't understand what it was about.
>>713695954I don't know. I'm biased because I liked him since Freeman's mind and civil protection days.
>>713696036he did it within the first 2-3 months. The problem is his channel is extremely obscure. His short video got less than 100k views and his longer video where he's explaining the goals and countering criticism also didn't have more than half a million views afaik.
He's just too obscure of a guy. This thing needed to be done through networking and pushing it via more popular channels/youtubers.
>>713695984You'll get little argument from me there, but the way he underlined it, I think that's the assumption most people who watch the video will also get. It also goes a long way displaying a reel of ferret fucker being rude, that tends to be instantly unappealing to people, especially when done in that insecure manner.
>>713696207I now fondly remember the episode about the guy without a shadow.
>>713696052Altough, I support the moldman because I always welt like he did for game preservation, even if I think it's most likely lost cause and your best bet is to buy DRM free installers from GoG or just pirate.
These companies don't give a shit.
>>713696442>These companies don't give a shit.Well no, that's why he's going the legal route.
But I think they don't care in either direction. People bring up the "intentionally sabotaging a product so people buy the next one" angle, which is true, otherwise they'd be competing with themselves - but the type of nerd who's willing to host and visit private servers post game shutdown is barely a blip on the radar.
People running FFXI servers aren't impacting FFXIV sales. People running World of Warcraft private servers aren't impacting the actual paid servers. Hell, giving away the source code to all their earlier games habitually didn't impact id's sales in the slightest.
>>713696745Case in point is more like shit like Call of Duty, if Activision was that petty (which it's not surprisingly, on CoD at least) could easily shut down the previous games because the new one is out to push people stuck on the previous titles because they are either nostalgic or that the game is straight up better.
And I'm pretty sure that another developers or publishers straight up did something like that but it was the small kind of games.
>>713694525What movie, and how is he associated with mold?
he's like Louis Rossmann. they seem to have self-worth issues or are busy self-fagging like us
THOR IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING
>>713697260>what movieHe's been trying to make a fantasy SFM movie for years, since he's made like a dozen Civil Protection shorts and knows the software. I don't know if it's still happening.
>moldHe's had to move out of two apartments due to black mold.
He wasn't doxxed or stalked or anything to find this out, this was all in channel update videos.
>>713696939if anything related to SKG passes, in like 10 years, i won't be able to contain my inner jew how microsoft and playstation will finally be able to justify the online fee they are charging consolefags
>>713697612Ah I was going to ask next what was he originally known for. I do know he's an American residing in Poland too
>>713697612>twojust what is he doing to create all of this black mold?
>>713693285 (OP)Real world Ned stark. Too honorable for his own good

>>713695616>Ross is a happily married manIt's a shame his wife is a mentally ill "non-binary"
>almost an hour and a half rant about trivial shit
Ross must be on the spectrum.
>>713698447>Ross must be on the spectrum.You couldn't already tell from his inability to regulate his volume?
>>713693285 (OP)I've never seen someone's face make such a perfect trapezoid in my life
>>713698594His fascination with in-game maps is what clued me in.
>>713698594>You couldn't already tell from his inability to regulate his volume?That's for the camera, when he was doing those (bad) fan chat videos or his moon gaming series, he just sounded like a dude. I agree with his Secret World rant about most videos being delivered so dispassionately they're not worth watching.
Still definitely on the spectrum, but in an average middle-aged dude way where they've got a basement train model set or something.
>>713698447him talking about how software should work is when i realized this guy has no idea about how systems are designed. Granted, they are bad on purpose even as far as 7, but that doesn't change the fact that he is in the dunning krueger stage of programming understanding.
>>713697960moved to terribly renovated Polish commieblocks
they cover them in polystyrene and install airtight windows, but no ventilation
all moisture gets trapped in the walls, so unless you air out your house like 5 times a day (completely defeating the point of insulation), you get mold
if your neigbours don't bother, too bad, the moisture permeates the walls and you still can get mold even if you air properly and have dehumidifier
>>713698447this video is better than most game dungeons he's made in the last five years.
>>713698879Shut the fuck up tinkertranny
>>713695167Where are you even getting this idea that Ross refuses to associate with Asmon? He comments on him positively in the video and left positive comments on the gay reaction video Asmon made months ago.
>>713698879Being able to describe what he wants still puts him in the top 1% of clients.
It's just the "how" he didn't quite get, but that's fine. Fun video.
I can't decide if Baldies, Bip Bop 2 or Armed and Delirious are my favourite videos of his.
>>713698959>you dont like broken ui and flatshit tinker tranny tinker tr-shut up
>>713699028Hes not going to be commissioning an OS. are you a programmer?
>>713699107https://youtu.be/CLk64lmMtF0?feature=shared
this is easily the best, followed by dungeon siege.
>>713698447>Ross must be on the spectrum.you are only noticing that now?
>>713698749That says a lot about his taste in games in general. Games being preserved is great, but being able only walk around in them is fine. Almost every time he praises a games level-design it's because of theming, not how the layout affects gameplay. He dislikes Doom including ep1 because the maps are too intricate.
He'd probably prefer rail-shooters over classic FPSs
>>713693285 (OP)He knows that if he acts in any way bad or accuses anybody of being a retard/shill they can write it him off as "toxic" and not have to address the issues. His detractors already straight up lie about his personality.
>>713695446there would be no movement without him because nobody was autistic enough to get pissed about it

>>713699001NTA but I watch all of Ross's video chats and he specifically said he shut down communications with Asmon after the statements he made on Palestine. Ross is probably the most apolitical YouTuber of all time, so he made it very clear it wasn't a moral thing. He just had the common sense to know that it would be bad publicity for the campaign

>>7136991072014-2020 Accursed Farms was hit after hit. Polaris Snowcross, That Ski Game, Chosen: Well of Souls, Rama, nothing but greats. Bozo's Night Out of all things.
I wish he'd channel into that energy more often, use the game as a launching point to talk about the Piggyback Bandit and unsolved dead bodies and such, a lot of his recent ones are the more garden-variety "plot recap and edited let's play" youtuber go-tos, most recent great video was Trackmania.
>>713699501I liked his video on Culpa Innata. Gave me a bit of that Deus Ex video vibe.
>>713699501The Trackmania video was amazing. I'd never have put a post-apocalyptic scenario together in my head.
>>713699501He said, with his Culpa Innata episode, he was specifically trying to harken back to the Deus Ex Game Dungeon days where he would discuss wider speculative fiction topics
Reminder that Ross is indirectly responsible for the Roblox oof sound effect getting removed
>>713693285 (OP)He wished some super popular and well connected guy would take the torch but sheep gonna sheep and mr mold had to do it himself to predictably shoddy results but I can't blame him for trying.
>>713693285 (OP)>Wants to start a movement>Dresses and grooms himself a bare step above homelessI wonder why the movement failed
To this day Ross' biggest blunder is the Revenant video. Feel free to improve me wrong.
>>713699830She had they/them pronouns on her Twitter account, but they're not there anymore. Once again demonstrating how non-binary shit is just an attention-seeking phase. This is a grown woman in her 40s though

>>713699895Homeless Ross is peak THOUGH?
>high iq sperg is right and wants to improve something
>people make fun of sperg instead of helping out
that's why spergs usually stay in their basement away from normies
>>713693285 (OP)More big names on YouTube and twitch should have hopped onboard with his campaign but they were probably afraid of being blacklisted from keys by game publishers
>>713695839>imagine knowing to be so objectively wrong you start to "argue" like a childI can't even laugh at you, this is just too pathetic.
>>713695839I think he'd rather take fashion advice from his wife rather than some guy on 4chan
>>713700036Is this one of those eceleb skits where he meets his evil twin?
>>713699963At least he was just bad at that game, which is fine, and it was still a fine video since it was just half enjoying the voice acting/art and indulging in map autism. Convinced me to play the game, it was pretty baller.
Him being a primarily retro gamer and yet suffering through the entirety of Quadralien with the most obvious unlocked FPS issues of all time was just embarrassing.
>>713700069Or in his case, move to Eastern Europe
>>713696745That is true, but I mean game companies don't give a shit about preserving their games.

Kiwis helping.
>>713695296There's no way it can retain this rate even for just a month, there's not enough edrama to keep that momentum. I doubt the blizzard pedo guy is even the reason momentum was lost though it didn't help
>>713695363>worked on it>pushed an update that changes a single inconsequential file so as to do the bare minimum of not being considered "abandoned"
>>713701537>I doubt the blizzard pedo guy is even the reason momentum was lost though it didn't helpFew other big youtubers, moistcritikal for example, have admitted that the reason they didn't run videos to support it was because of mcnepobaby.
I don't see it succeeding either, short of a viral social media trend, just because it's EU signees only and there's just a giant language barrier there since brits don't count anymore.
But being 120k short is a hell of a lot less depressing than 500k short.
>>713701537Upon linear examination, I see your point anon, but a lot can still happen. More drama can be stirred from his latest video, there could be other responses, or just the state of the initiative having only one month left prompting more attention from people due to some last hour, fomo shenanigans.
Why does he defend the piRATe so hard?
>>713702143same corporate tard wrangler or some shit
>>713693285 (OP)Heโs cool but heโs also a spineless faggot with no teeth โIโm so grown up Iโm not a drama tuberโ ok faggot well congrats on not defending your own fucking movement from the lying furfaggot and letting yourself get run over. โIf we kill our enemies, we lose!โ Energy. Loser

Nah, he is just the right amount of nice.
Now even more people are alienated from the roach, and there are more and more people chiming in helping him, and that is happening because he is a nice guy.
Even if it fails this time, the next time anyone picks it up, its going to get that much easier to drum up support.
Look at Rossman doing the same thing with right to repair, took him years to get any tangible success. He by his own admission failed many times, and did not rely on other people enough. And now the rtr movement actually has capable people working for it. Same with this. Even if it fails now, more people are interested in it than ever.
>>713702143he's a fucking kike, a corporate in plant, he even admitted for being a fucking satanic piece of shit. he's not even a dev and he acts as if hes not a consumer or never bought and owned shit. not even from consumers prospective. what a fucking weirdo kike he is. also contrarian on purpose. why the fuck pieces of shit watch this shit? they are spambots or something?

People say that Rivals of Aether 2 has an online only DRM system.
...does that mean you cannot play it in locals without an internet connection, or just do regular couch versus? How do you make a fighting game, a genre that is literally carried by people playing it OFFLINE in person for multiple years...and not include that?
why the fuck retarded streamers reacting to penguinz0? this world is fucked
Malda- I mean Thor is like a mixture of DSP and Yandere dev only that he has an actual audience, which honestly confuses me, I don't understand how anyone can watch him
>>713701689he is the oof kid
>>713702143>(((Night Media))) hide their roster nowfucking lel
>>713702518Has there ever been a time in recent history where petitions have achieved anything?
>>713702926It's just inertia at this point. People who haven't heard what an idiot he is who already watched him before and still do.
This board is infested with leftist faggots who can't take a single minute to see if the random comment they now believe is true
>>713703046youtube also hides comments that criticize it, i wrote one and my comment got hidden, very weird
>>713693285 (OP)Daily reminder that Thor guy ran like a bitch in a hardcore WoW server leaving two of his friends to die.
>>713703057In the EU? All the time. Drinking Water Directive, soil policy framework, glyphosate ban, cage farm prohibitions, all done through petitions.
America not so much. Caylee's Law I guess.
>>713702362what's the bad thing?
He should have spoken actual industry professionals instead of doing everything himself. He give no actual solution, he just says about fining the companies. Fine how much? If the fines are lower than it costs to make an offline version of a game, the devs will just tank the fine. What about indie companies that can't afford to pay a big fine?
If the current trend continues, we will have maybe 35,000-40,000 new Signatures. That actually kind of impressive. Hopefully the drama continues or all the streamers and so on will do reaction videos. and some other youtuber will make videos on their own for the cause. 34 days is enough to push it over.
>>713703462He wasn't specific enough
His initiative should have included provisions to put managers and beancounters in concentration camps
>>713701689Ross uploaded a review of Messiah, which incidentally showed off how it's the origin of the oof sound effect. A couple days after he uploaded the review, the fact that Messiah is the origin of the oof sound effect became viral, which caught the attention of Messiah's sound designer, Tommy Tallarico (total fucking rabbit hole nutcase btw) who C&D'd Roblox and got it removed. If Ross hadn't made that accidental discovery, it wouldn't caused that chain reaction
>>713703057You can check the CI website, they document what they've done with successful initiatives.
>>713703462>He should have spoken actual industry professionals instead of doing everything himself.Yeah that was a little silly. He definitely has gamedev viewers, too, which makes it sillier.
But he was kinda winging it and didn't want to do it in the first place.

>>713702143He doesn't know what the initiative really is and whenever there is anything technical he'll fence sit as to appear neutral and "based" but he got shown up yesterday defending Piratesoftware who was objectively in the wrong, misrepresented SKG and insulted Ross then Asmon goes ahead and pauses the video he's reacting to, to repeat the same misrepresentation that Piratesoftware said stop killing games wanted about keeping wanting publishers to keep servers online permanently, not once has that ever been stated, the only person who has ever said that is Piratesoftware but Asmon took the stance that SKG needed to make it clear they didn't want that, when they DID make it clear in big bold letters.
If only he paid attention to the Moist video he was reacting to instead of pausing every 30 seconds to interject his own 'take', he wouldn't have been shown up as a retard.
>>713703665I didn't even know that. F for oof.
>>713702616>he doesn't, did you even see his videos?Have you watched his livestreams? He kept defending him yesterday and banned people who criticized him for it.
At last, I now see with open eyes...
>>713701643He's basically operating on Patreon WEG laziness except his game has already been kickstarted with the goal reached and it's been nearly a decade and it's barely half done.
>>713703943u wanna 1v1 me?

>>713703665And that I'm guessing led to the hbomberguy video?
>>713704010Yes sir. I was sad hbomberguy didn't give Ross a little mention in the video
>>713703462>He give no actual solutionHe's not supposed to. The whole point of the initiative is to gather customers who feel that they're wronged. Then the EU will gather representatives of the initiative, lawyers and the opposition (game companies) and everything would be discussed over the course of a year.
>he just says about fining the companiesIF they fail to comply.
>What about indie companies that can't afford to pay a big fine?99% of indies are not making GaaS slop so they won't be affected.

>>713694527>I don't know why heBecause it contradicts Thor's "it's impossible" narrative. They already have a EoL plan.
>>713704954Even American politicians aren't THAT bad, or at least not that dismissive - the trouble is that even when the Senate is all-in on a petitioned movement, everything stalls in the House because those guys don't get off their ass for anything.
>>713704954This is not a petition. The EU has many, many faults; it is a socialist shithole and we are in steady decline with nothing good to look for and failing life standards. Maybe a civil war with all the migrants if not outright submission. But when it comes to clapping the ass cheeks of big corporations, the EU is actually decent.
>>713695981I don't think he'll be involved with any of the official parts either way. He said this entire campaign has been exhausting and he hated doing it
>>713695519The other anon is just focused on optics, but the reality is that not engaging in drama to garner constant attention was a bad move.
Because of that, after all the current drama settles down, the movement will likely still fail. So long as PirateSoftware just doesn't continually badger Cr1tikal and Josh, or those two get uninterested in the drama, the current "wave" of signatures will stifle and stop altogether.
Right now, there's a month and four days left to secure the necessary signatures. They need what, 450K more? 400K more? If the drama ends this week and we hit say 300K signatures left (very generous number), there would be 5 weeks left to gather the remaining signatures.
You would need to get 60,000 signatures a week to meet the requirement.

It'll die down. But it'll take more than just a week. And the more people bring up his grooming scandals and undisclosed business interests, the safer target he becomes for youtubers who are absolutely not above drama videos.
>>713705639it's too long ago to remember.
>>713704954The EU wouldn't pass on an opportunity to dick down big tech
>>713705676Nothing, but Thor doesn't know that because he didn't bother with reading what the initiative is for. He just probably saw the first few sentences and made up his mind about something else.
>>713695667The reason why there isn't any petition like that in the US is because US law is clear about gamers being cattle with no rights.
>>713705506It will heavily depend on if some other big youtubers get in and if streamers do their typical reaction videos bullshit. I say there is a 20-30% chance we will reach the goal.

>>713705951Good question.

>>713705506While you are probably correct, the Amber Heard lawsuits and the Titanic sub story proves that keeping a population fully engaged with a single topic is definitely plausible.
It will probably die down, but they could secure some sort of campaign with youtubers to keep the embers burning for a single month. If the people vote and then forget about it by the end of the next month, it's still good.

>>713707048It's the closest he's gotten to progress since campaigning, can't blame him for leaping on a doomed ship if it's at least heading towards the destination.
Still might've made some headway in EU circles if it didn't get smear'd so early in. Couple of big youtubers run a piece on it, the sort of youtubers who have those fan captioners where they somehow have German/Swedish/French etc fanbases, gets picked up by local language youtubers who see a bit of relevancy in it, it's not an insane hypothetical progression of events.

>>713707127No, no I don't.
The problem with supporters is that they don't understand that developers aren't their friends. They will take the absolute cheapest and safest option available to them that also allow them to retain their software and that includes proprietary server software which is a wholly separate thing from the IP for the game.
In this case it would be simply dating their products and announcing it before release and/or not adding any multiplayer component to it.
Needless to say I'll never support a campaign like this as long as it enables anti-consumer practices and regression of the industry.

>>713707270That's the funny part, he's not asking them. His hour long ramblefest of a video is entirely in english with no effort in translation. There's like one english speaking EU country, and that's Ireland, I'm not even sure they actually speak english come to think of it.
>>713707384I can almost guarantee that those local language youtubers don't even know he or his campaign exists. He's pretty much botched the movement from being so complacent about it, but he can't really be blamed for that, not a lot of people have experience running campaigns like this, and video games are starting off with a disadvantage because politicians don't give a fuck about them to begin with.

- in 2025, you STILL have minimal customization tools and the search bar still gives you useless internet adverts
I'm a programmer and I've spent weekends optimizing things, making it so that I can launch any program with a shortcut, aliasing things in shell, putting macros and layers on my ergo keyboard, and I would not trust myself to design an OS GUI by myself, I'm too far gone.

Let's say that instead of 460k, we would have 600,000 signatures. Maybe the fact that we are close to the end of the campaign with the drama may benefit it more. It will hopefully remain in the forefront. Some streamers could make some campaign for it with banners and links... that would be nice. Ross did say something about having someone willing to pay for some marketing that would likely be money well spent. Likely better than youtube ads as any normal person use adblock and retards who do not will likely not bother to sign anythyng.

Stupid movement. The only way to stop "live service" slop shovelware from being launched and shut down within a year is to stop consuming "live service" slop shovelware.
>>713698447Thinking on this more, I think I understand why OS GUI's are stagnant.
There's a phenomenon where if one sprinter breaks a time record, everyone starts breaking it because they know it's possible now. I think there's an opposite effect, where everyone is successful with the same strategy, so nobody tries anything different(If it ain't broke...). The issue is that fixing a problem or trying a new approach has a cost with an uncertain benefit, basically it's risky, and we've trended away from the idea of being risky in the last few years.
However, when we become too complacent we can miss obvious solutions. Static-Site generation is a big example where everyone suddenly forgot for years that we can just generate html bundles and serve them on a file server.

What games are we rallying to the defense and preservation of specifically?
Like every notable MMO out there either has private servers or has one in active development by a team of dedicated autists regardless of legality. WoW is going to be playable forever whether or not Blizzard likes it.
Other than Rossโ favorite car game and Darkspore I donโt know what other singleplayer games that were left in an unplayable state you could get people riled up over either.
I agree with Ross but also think the reason thereโs been so much trouble with SKG getting traction is there hasnโt been a big enough inciting incident to really turn heads.
>>713709329That's not going to work, too many slop consoomers for that to work.
You can ignore them on the personal level, but my worry is all games being online only in the future, even purely singleplayer ones. We already are going this way with Steam and other launcher stores forcing to use them to play many of their games.

Is that honestly what you believe?Of course people have. Linux desktops exist and have some of the experimental UIs Ross describes in the video.
However, when we talk about Microsoft and Mac, there's two forces:
- The staying power of the legacy Apple II GUI
- The massive benefit you'd get if you could create a better UI people would adopt
The second point is extremely hard, I don't deny that, but bear in mind, kids today don't know how file systems work because they use Apple phones and have never seen a filing cabinet in their lives, so the abstraction isn't as permanent as you'd like to believe.
>Computer GUIs haven't significantly changed for the same reason the shape of the fucking wheel hasn't changed.I don't think that floating windows with small close buttons are as fundamental to interacting with computer as simple machines are for engineering.

>>713710480>so what if they add rat shit into water to save on costs, just donโt buy those brands>what do you mean itโs too profitable>what do you mean every brand is doing it
>>713694527SKG isn't asking for it to be retroactive, but to enforce standards on new games.

>>713707221god I fucking wish it would kill gachas. But no it wouldn't. That's not what the petition is about.
>>713710801But you can still play all of your VHS tapes. It still functions for the reason you bought it.
>>713709191Technical error? This purposefully designed advertisement was actually just ones and zeroes going haywire and displaying players with something that could be interpreted as an AD? Are these people for real?
>>713710801>I don't understand what the initiative is about yet i discuss itokay thor
>>713710458>I disagree!Ok. You're wrong.
>>713709768>What games are we rallying to the defense and preservation of specifically?All of them. Every single game.
You may not care about some games, and that's completely normal but some other person might and their preferences are not less valid simply because they are not (You).
I want every single game to be available. I take media preservation very seriously because it means that someone, somewhere, maybe in the future might stuble upon an obscure game/music/movie and they beyome enthralled by it for any reason. This possible happiness is more important to me than any company crying about licenses and hardships. It's fundamentally irrelevant to me because entertainment products were always meant to be enjoyed.
Obviously, not ALL games can be saved because many have already been lost to time, but this shouldn't stop anyone from trying their best in preserving media.
>>713710258>I'm going to enter this thread [headcanon]yawn, gonna go to bed. argue with the voices in your head like thor if you want.
>>713707460>>713694527>thorisn't this little bitch getting roasted alive cuz his favorite online game is shutting down and he's sad and doesn't want that with people outright saying this is what he wanted and if only there was a way to stop killing games lmao
>>713710662It has a working tutorial, which is to say 99% of the game doesn't work
>>713705930You didn't watch it kek
>>713710801Can't you digitize that shit now? I recently did that for some tape cossets that had some old music and family members speaking, it didn't cost that much and it doubles as as both a player with headphones and a tool to digitize them.
>I wish for games to be in a playable state for an indefinite period, and not be artificially killed when the developers abandon support
there. That's what the movement is about.
Why do so many people not understand this? Or even worse, are against this?
>>713706449>some irrelevant "news" website which only has 10 readerslel
>>713707517>making up excuses for him, deflecting, feigning ignorance etcFrom the couple of hours I've seen Asmon talk about this whole thing, he never defended the blizzard furry. The only thing he said was that he agrees that companies shouldn't be forced into providing a service, which he also stated isn't the initiative's goal.
>>713711068lmao, did it really happen
>>713711115"what is indentured servitude? My need to play Concord forever is a human right"
>>713694527What really pisses me off is that he was like, "No, just because I work for the publisher doesn't mean I'm trying to kill it!" and yet Rivals of Aether 2 didn't have an offline mode on launch. It was a rushed experience that seemingly only exists now as a response to that criticism. Even Rivals fans fucking hate it and wish it had more to it since it was the biggest complaint.
>>713711115generations of americans have been brainwashed by corporations to protect said corporations with their lives
mutts literally live and die by the corporation
>>713711115But a narcissist furry on YouTube who worked at Blizzard told me it's about something else and he says he's never wrong.
>>713711182Anon how is one dev making a peer to peer patch indentured servitude?
>>713710480This, but unironically.
Whether we like it or not, some people are just not smart enough to control themselves. One such example is drunk driving, as it's still one of the leading causes in traffic fatalities.
Authorities and "better people" have to enforce some things. Not everything, of course, but many things have to be enforced otherwise people wouldn't do it on their own.
In some minor topics, this simply leads to greedy companies just taking away a product you have paid for. In more serious cases, it leads to death by negligence or malpractice.
However the core idea remains, people MUST be regulated.
>>713711168He's sad that Meet Your Maker shut down, yeah. It was a game where you built a fortress level with traps and shit to defend a vial of stuff, then posted it online for others to try and complete. Fun concept but it was always flawed design wise so players got burnt out of instant kill deathtraps that were the meta. Devs abandoned it.
>>713710858Tape wears out over time due to how the read/write mechanism works. Eventually your collection will be gone. You can copy one old tape to a new one, but that almost always will degrade the quality of the content until you are left with noise.
>>713711182Playing the game you paid for should be a consumer right. The developer might not host the servers anymore, but the game should be playable in some form if it doesn't come with an explicit expiration date when you buy it.
>>713711182No, but it is a consumer right.
If someone bought Concord, why shouldn't they be able to play it as they wish?
>b-but it is a bad gameSo what? Why does the quality of the game matter? I can play shitty NES games 35 years later no problem.
>>713711182>le concord was bad>therefore no game deserves to be preservedi hate you disingenuous niggers so much
I'm not going to sign it. The petition will fail no matter what.
>>713710910It's just monkey typing out the entire code for the advert by complete accident, enabling it, then sending it to every live copy on the network. Please understand, it's all a big mistake.
>>713711115It's gamergate all over again. No matter what evidence or argument you bring forward to people, many of them will trot out the same lines:
>Oh, you just want free games.>Oh, you just want to kill all live service games>Oh, you want the studios to support the game foreverYou can't convince these people. They're ideologically captured and their world view around this particular subject has degenerated into 'us versus crazy gamers'. What's frightening to me is that even intelligent people who've started their own businesses and made good money talk like this, suggesting they either aren't paying attention or that they're operating in bad faith because they know it gets them clicks.
>>713711331>food goes bad eventually so whole foods should be allowed to take it out of your fridge whenever they want
>>713711331Yes and eventually your car will be dust, your house will rot, and the sun will explode. The big distinction is that no company decided to dust your car, rot your house, and explode the sun to defend their bottom line.
>>713711182>because this shit game of the month could be played forever means this entire movement is retardedI hate summer posters.
>>713710717>water>brandHuh? Is this an American thing? I get all my clean water from the tap here, and people start rioting when it's even slightly contaminated.
>>713711350>it's a consumer rightIt's not.
In fact being able to protect your code, sell limited licenses, and own your own servers is all property rights.
You can't hide behind MUH RIGHTS while actively trying to strip rights from others.
>>713711491>Oh, you just want to kill all live service gamesBut that's not a lie. The lie is saying SKG would do that.
>>713711548Sounds like you have good LAWS and REGULATIONS then.
>>713711526Oh so you've all stopped pretending this is about "game preservation?"
>>713711115>They rush to regulations, laws, etc and use them against you and each other but god forbid you use the same tools to benefit yourself
>>713711587>JUST THINK OF THOSE POOR CORPORATIONSfucking lmao this nigger
>>713711656Nigger what? It can be about both, stopping companies for killing games is really very excellent for games preservation. I canโt believe they let 70-iq people on the internet still.
>>713709768You act like you know what the future is going to look like for gaming before it even happens. Who's to say every company won't make more and more "single-player" games into live-service? Already happened with games like Hitman. This is about protecting the FUTURE of gaming and to assert to publishers that there are people who actually care about this shit besides the legions of complacent smoothbrains who exclusively play Fortnite
>>713711526All lies. Everyone know car makers secretly come to drain your battery and peel the paint around the wheels.
>>713711526Planned obsolescence is a thing. Companies do, in fact, decide when and how your toaster breaks so you buy a new one. There's laws against that. Toasters still break "randomly".
>>713711587>It's not.It should be. That's why we are pushing for this to be tried in parliament.
>In fact being able to protect your code, sell limited licenses, and own your own servers is all property rights.ok why should I, as a consumer, care about the privileged property owners?
You should make a product that appeals to me and abides by all rules. Don't do that and you don't get sales.
You aren't in the position to ask for demands. Consumers are.
>>713711182I want to play Concord for free so I can see for myself how shitty it was
>>713711587>It's not.Correct, but only because corporations have attacked consumer rights to the point where courts accept absurdities.
>>713711638Well then maybe gaymers also should take to the streets and start chopping off heads instead of making shitty craptivistic youtube essays.
>>713694527That game will serve as an example of why SKG is worthwhile
>>713711182people like you should not be allowed to breathe the same air I do
>>713709979Yeah. You're too cool to care. Don't worry about it.
>>713711850>why should I care about OTHER PEOPLE's rights!? They're not me!
>>713711904Rather than hoping for a millions strong pan-european gamer revolution, I think the current plan has a better chance of success.
>>713709768I am not a gacha player but i think that is one of the segments that would be affected by it. And i think that is a good thing. People spend unholy money on them. I personally do not think there are any game i would like to play that i cant becouse it would be shut down. But also, you never know.
>>713711168"Meet your maker" game is going down
He purged and deleted countless comment and even now is still getting roasted for it, 2k likes 6k dislikes ratio
>>713711115I honestly don't know if anyone out there is actually openly against SKG aside from the contrarian trolls in these threads, the reddit-mod-energy furry, and that one ex-Valve guy who comes across as a genuine schizo. Obviously companies like Ubisoft aren't happy about it, but I doubt they'll say much openly because of how blatantly in the wrong they'd be.
>>713712023correct
Next cope, please
>>713712023Corporations arenโt people.
>>713709768>I donโt know what other singleplayer games that were left in an unplayable stateIIRC there were a handful of games that never got fixed after GWFL died.
>inb4 but muh piracyAnd what if was Denuvo that ended support instead? It's absurd to have to rely on fan-made cracks to begin with, but not every game has them.
>>713711068>>713711168>>713712046ok I'll bite
how does him being sad a game is shutting down relate to his argument that studios shouldn't be legally forced to keep games up?
You understand that you can be sad about something without wanting to ban it, yeah?
>>713712023Corporations are not people, labeling products correctly and not destroying a consumer's property when you fucking feel like it.
Is not a human right violation ... you retard.
>>713712040I'm sure governments officials will bend the knee to some vocal minority of powerless autists and just say no to the billions of lobbyist money.
>>713712426Frankly I don't care and this shit is not about that thor guy. He's just a distraction or I guess the main even for dramafags.
>>713712426He should be celebrating this implementation of important rights, he is defending them to the death after all.
>>713711182>what is indentured servitudeSomething that corpos wished they could do without risking a total collapse. The thought of generational spanning free labor should be a basic corporate right in the eyes of any worshiper of the almighty green line. Humans are just resources that exist to be consumed after all.
>>713711587>Intellectual propertyYou can't make a property rights argument with something that isn't real and has zero scarcity.
If you're selling me a product however, then come over to my house and break it, then you have violated our agreement and my rights.
>>713712046>Literally getting smacked over the head with the same problem he was brigading against >Gets mad at people pointing out the irony and doesn't change his tune at all My man your hand is literally being burnt by the stove you said wasn't hot ?

>>713711115They don't, most people understand and agree but they don't speak English or there's an issue informing them
Shockingly most people have a reasonable opinion instead of nobody normal can use legal services and I wish the Government planted an id chip in my head absolutes
This place is just a magnet for the contrarian/obviously retarded trying to brush it off as bait and trolling
>>713712658see
>>713712426I can be sad a friend is moving away without thinking the government should stop him from doing so
Why are you kids so dumb? So critically incapable of basic thought? Is it tiktok? Facebook? iPads? Plastics? What happened?
>>713712426They are not forced to keep games up. All they need to provide is a way for the game to remain playable in some kind of state.
If the server cost is too high and nonprofitable, they are allowed to shut it down... that was never a question. But some kind of playable version must remain. It could be dealt with in many ways depending on type of game and the solution they are using in the first place, providing some kind of emulator. or making the game client-based or something else.
>>713712712Youโre not an ultraliberal Harry, stop being retarded.
>>713712426If you sell a game the customer should play whenever he likes, he paid for that.
If you are not able or want to make a patch for offline at least make a notification that you are "renting" the game not "buying" it as you are advertizing it
>>713712641>you shouldn't be able to profit off of music, movies, software, etc.>you should only be able to profit off of physical goodsCool, then those things will cease to exist because we live in a capitalist system.
>>713712641>If you're selling me a productToo bad, I sold you a mere license agreement that says I can change the license agreement whenever I want for any reason (you cannot do anything but agree or stop using it). That it looked exactly like you bought a product and you might not have been able to read the agreement until after buying is irrelevant.
>>713712812Your friend isnโt moving away, heโs being assassinated by Organtek for his spleen. The kid doesnโt want it, his parents donโt want it, only the corporation wants it.
>>713707460I only know this guy from a video where he said he went through what his doctor called a "second puberty" and its why his voice isn't how it is in older vids, one of which he showed. It was retarded enough to click don't recomend channel, but the comments believed him
>>713712906EULAs are not legally binding and cannot contravene consumer law.
>>713712850>at least make a notification that you are "renting" the game not "buying" it as you are advertizing itThere's an outcome where SKG "wins" but it means a lot of devs move to f2p games (you didn't buy anything so you have no right to anything) and subscriptions (you bought a month of game, so it can die next month if we stop taking your money). I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
>>713712946>but the comments believed himIt's really amazing how a narcissist can gather a cult-like following.
>>713707221That would be fucking great. However it wouldn't. It would just mean that after (for example) Genshin stops being profitable (in the year 2050) and chinks shutdown the servers they would just toss the game files out there too so you can playthrough the story and listen to 30 years worth of Paimon explaining things.
>>713712426>his argumentirrelevant and gay

These threads always remind me of the time EA put out that always online Simcity game, and game journos were writing articles saying there was NoOoO WaAaY the game could have an offline mode and you're all dumb and entitled for wanting that, but then EA added an offline mode like a week later.

>>713712898>you shouldn't be able to profit off of music, movies, software, etc.>you should only be able to profit off of physical goodsI never said that. You're crazy.
People will pay for your brand and the assurance that they're getting the genuine article. that's why trademarks are the only form of IP law that makes any sense as a form of fraud protection.
Sales are not the only factor in profit.
>those things will cease to exist because we live in a capitalist systemWe don't have a free market, it's regulated to hell and back.
And if we did, then creative work would flourish because publishers would want first crack at a good author's best work, IP law wouldn't restrict creativity, and a million other industries would be created.
Maybe you're just not creative enough to see it.

>>713714125This is absolutely a leftist cause, itโs just that the average r/thedonald tourist that stuck around since 2016 has no idea what leftism is, and equates it all to culture war horseshit.

Those normalfags don't pay attention to anything he claims and take his word as gospel. Just recently I stumbled upon a random cunt using his webms in a completely unrelated discord and getting FIERCELY defensive when I brought up how much of a lolcow the guy is.
On top of that, this mold dude actually confirmed that outside of Germany there was a fast and sharp decline in petition signings right after PrasiteSoftware released his video.
There is a world outside 4chan, believe it or not, and it has manmade horrors beyond your comprehension exhibiting the levels of earnest stupidity that you wouldn't attribute to even the most incompetent trolls.

>>713707221Many gachas release offline versions of their games when they reach end of service now. It's not something at all difficult for them to accommodate and they're doing it already without being asked. It won't hurt the gacha industry at all.

Sorry, but I'm of a firm belief that people come above corporations. Commerce must be regulated to protect the customers. If commerce regulation didn't exist, all of the following would be legal:

>>713714746>You said IP rights shouldn't be a thing. That's the consequence.But it isn't. Steam is popular despite piracy being trivial because people will pay for bandwidth and assurance that they're getting a genuine product from the maker. Just because IP law ceases to exist doesn't mean the incentives that drive Steam cease to exist also.
>we don't live in capitalism because regulationsCapitalism stipulates that we have private ownership and a free-market. Regulations, especially those that create an unfair advantage, such as IP laws or expensive licenses designed to eliminate small competition, make a market less free.
>>713716445adults that don't want to waste time with eceleb bullshit
>>713716479>Regulations...make a market less free.It's literally a proven fact that the removal of regulations in america (muh capitalism country) in the past 40 years was the primary cause of eradication of the middle class and the rise of poverty.

>>713715775>you're removing property rightsNo, you are.
>consumer rightsNo consumer rights are being removed. You're asking for new shit, not defending rights that are in place.
>but muh goodsSoftware is not a good. No, EU law does not classify it as a good. The case you idiots trot around constantly says that certain specific regulations understood to apply to goods also apply to software. Legally software lies in its own grey area where it receives some of the requirements and protections of both a good and a service.
>Corpos invented the concept of a digital license!You're fucking retarded. "Corporations" didn't invent the concept of intellectual property and software isn't the only thing that's licensed.
>People come before corporations!Cool, you get that people can own software right? Not in the stupid sense you mean, in the actual legal sense of owning the intellectual property they created.

>>713715062am i glad he's frozen in there and that we're out here
>>713705454They don't regulate at this granularity you fucking dumbass. They don't care about this trivial garbage.
The anti-petition shills and corporate plants and straight up useful idiots kinda make me think that the tyrannical dictators who jail those who speak out against them might have a point. You explain to these subhumans that they are wrong using irrefutable evidence and they just keep repeating the same thing hoping it will be embedded in the collective consciousness using the firing method of "accuracy through volume". You can't argue in a civilized manner against that which isn't trying to argue but is trying to subjugate you through any means available.

>Steam is popular despite piracy existingOk, and? What's that got to do with you asking for legislation that would require IP-holders give up their rights?
>Just because IP law ceases to exist doesn't mean the incentives that drive Steam cease to exist alsoOh holy shit you really are this fucking stupid.
Without IP rights someone could just build Free-Steam and undercut anyone trying to actually sell products and there would be no recourse. That's the end of software being monetizable. Full-stop.
>Capitalism stipulates a free marketNo it doesn't. Capitalism stipulated private ownership of property. That's all it does. What you're describing is a specific form of extremist free-market capitalism proposed by anarcho-capitalist and dipshit libertarians.
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
>>713713117That just means people will have to relearn the lessons from back when it was all about being the next WOW.
>>713717472I oppose your regulation at the meta-level -- just like most ruling politicians in capitalist economies (like the EU is) do.
Your little regulation is perfectly fine if it existed in a vacuum, but it does not. It's one more point in a book of regulations that hinder small to mid enterprise. It's one more reason why you need to hire a lawyer to launch a video game instead of just telling Steam to upload your .exe.
And it's not like there are currently one million regulations for shit like games. There probably are less than 20 or something. Your one addition is a big fish in a pond. Again, it's one more reason a small coder would need to consult a lawyer.
>>713716730>It's literally a proven fact that the removal of regulations in america (muh capitalism country) in the past 40 years was the primary cause of eradication of the middle class and the rise of poverty.>Regulation is absolutely NEEDED for a good quality of life.Regulations took away the cheapest and best healthcare system in the world: mutual aid societies. This was because Hospitals couldn't compete with the healthcare they provided so they lobbied the government for their removal.
>>713717494>What's that got to do with you asking for legislation that would require IP-holders give up their rights?I'm not asking for anyone to give up their rights. IP law takes rights away. I'm asking for those rights back.
Steam exists despite people being able to get games for free, removing IP law would mean anyone can sell any video game, Steam would still exist because it exists despite piracy existing.
>>Without IP rights someone could just build Free-Steam and undercut anyone trying to actually sell products and there would be no recourse.Nah. Steam is a marvel of discoverability and stability. It made Vampire survivors a hit and consistently allows the download of millions of titles.
That's not so easy to do.
>No it doesn't. Capitalism stipulated private ownership of property. The definition literally comes from Laize-fiare. Private ownership, freedom to do with your capital as you will, and free-market.
>You're stupid, stupid, STUPID!Tsundere-commie chan, you can't just come on to me like this.
honestly, this is the biggest hopium for me, the lower this number drops the more realistic it becomes
>>713717765>I oppose your regulation at the meta-level Yeah because you are a filthy, lying kike livid that the goyim dare even think of having rights.
Kill yourself.
>>713717979Kill yourself.
>>713717765Weird, that's a completely opposite sentiment to the post you made earlier
>>713717302Almost like you are a compulsive liar pushing an agenda or something.
>>713717880>I'm not asking for anyone to give up their rightsYou can keep repeating that but it doesn't make it true.
>IP law takes rights awayI don't think you know what rights are.
>"Without legal recourse and without the ability to use DRM there's nothing stopping random assholes from just selling your product at a lower price (because they spent nothing to make it) and fucking you, it kills monetization">nah bro piracy exists!You're so stupid I find it hard to believe that you can breathe and type unassisted.
>The definition of capitalism comes from (dramatic misspelling of lasseiz-faire) which means private ownershipAre you taking the piss or are you really this retarded?
Capitalism is private ownership of property. Full stop.
Lasseiz-faire, or "let it be" is a form of non-interventionism that is in no way exclusive to capitalism or part of capitalism. What it is part of is shitty neoliberal policy and the fever dreams of aforementioned an-caps.
>>713718434>neoliberal policyI literally advocating for the opposite though? I want less government intervention while neoliberalism wants more.
>>713718548>neoliberals want more regulationYou really are lost.
Neoliberalism is literally defined as an opposition to regulation
>>713718773Next you'll be telling me capitalism isn't about a free-market! Crazy!
>>713718885go back to
>>713717880 and read recursively until you die of starvation
>>713717927Yeah especially sence we're currently getting 3 times more signatures per day so even if numbers of signatures drops significantly after the hype we might still be able to reach these goals.
>>713719071That's not what recursively means.
>>713719121>>713718885>>713718548pretending to be retarded is still just being retarded
>>713719471And calling someone stupid isn't an argument.
>>713695839>That's good, but he looks fucked.Dude, he's in his 40s. Comparatively aside from his hairline and goofy stare he looks fine.
>We live in a world that almost entirely judges everything off the immediate presentation>To try and stand against that is stupid as fuck because you're trying to go against No, you're a shallow zoomertard. This is an issue concerning game preservation and availability, not a looks contest.
