>Not even 1 million europeans care enough to sign this

This just pisses me off, regardless of winning or not. Bunch of defeatist faggots that can't even bother to spend a minute signing an online petition. No wonder the industry is the way it is if people just accept getting buttfucked

Europeans dont have that much presence in the gaming space. All the big ones are like, Fifa retards who sincerely dont get it

no one in europe knows this even exists. all the youtubers talking about it right now are doing it in english, and since the uk left the amount of people in europe who know english greatly diminished

>>713803308
how else would you do this? the petitions go straight to EU parlament, this aint some change.org thing

I signed and got my brother and friends to sign this petition 10 months ago
This is simply just not very well advertised. Ross didn't approach this very well.
Seems like the dramatubing approach right now might get it to the finish line, though. A bunch of big gaming e-celebs are getting in on it and it's definitely finally getting more European eyes on it.

>>713803546
language aside i think most people just don't care that much. The average normie plays the next cod/fifa and don't think once about the staying power of the previous titles because why would they? the new old thing is already in stores.

Getting 1 million people divided across 30 different languages is not an easy task.

>This is simply just not very well advertised. Ross didn't approach this very well.
Ross admitted that is a weak area for himself, and he never intended to be the leader/figurehead, he just wanted to get the ball rolling and was more optimistic that the enthusiasm would carry without his input. If nothing else he still got 400k before his most recent video which is commendable.

Retro is a niche, and skg is expressly a retro gaming movement. Oh you wanna play The Crew 1 in 20 years....YAAAAWNNN. Do Euroes even play retro? I imagine not likely with the 50 hz PAL shit

Australia's customer protection laws forced Valve to allow Steam refunds within Australia to continue operating, which in turn had Valve allow refunds refunds worldwide. The Belgium gambling investigate into loot boxes scared a portion of the industry away from that system.

>KEEP BRINGING UP HOW GREAT FRENCH WINE IS AROUND THEM
This hasn't been true for fifty years. There is a reason French vintners refuse to do blind testing at wine contests. Without the name "France" attached to their wines they lose to American wine every damn time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine)

Also if I want a wine that is not made in America I am going to get an Italian Primitivo (the original Zinfandel before the Americans decided to give it their own name and pretend they invented the grape), a Portuguese Malbec (Argentinian Malbecs can beat them on the higher end of things but tend to get bogged down by cheap wine that makes up the majority of Argentinian production), or a Spanish Rioja (a blend of Tempranillo and Grenache to balance the mellow profile of the Tempranillo with the fruity and spicy Grenache).

I am probably going to crack a 2019 Pillastro Primitivo Puglia on Sunday since I plan on roasting a leg of lamb to eat over the next week.

Correct. When you see that a game requires servers to run you should immediately be able to tell that the game will become inoperable once those servers disappear. This is called "common sense" to anyone above the age of eight. Being tech illiterate is not an excuse.

Well, I can't be Thor because I'm on 4chan, right? And why would I - I mean, let's just say I for the sake of simplicity, why would I be on 4chan when I'm not a moron like that? You know, 4chan hates me and they troll me and they call me all sorts of names like 'ferret fucker' or try to say I sexted children or go on 13 hour calls with my gay furry boyfriend - all of which is not true by the way. If you think it is then you're fucking stupid, okay? You just are.

Now look, 4chan hates me, and I hate 4chan. 4chan likes StopKillingGames only because 4chan hates me. That's it. They have no reasons. You can see it in the threads were you have people going, "sirs, do not buy game if you read EULA." That's just sound logic, right? But 4chan hates me so they like StopKillingGames, and I hate StopKillingGames because it's dumb and I hate 4chan because it's dumb too. So I obviously wouldn't be on 4chan.

I mean, Thor wouldn't because I'm not Thor.

until one day one you wanted to play isnt, and oh no this bill could have prevented that

steam DOES remove games when publishers say they wont support it

They're only taken out of the store, so technically he's right that they're "still available". It just doesn't matter because they're not playable.

>>713810481
hrm not sure on that. it had 11 months to make that sort of traction.
as we can see by the recent upsurge of like 120k sigs, it really does need big names backing it.
and remember, if it doesn't make the 1 mil it doesn't really matter. 999 sigs and 999k sigs are the same as far as it matters.
of course, making a big splash COULD inspire some politician in the EU parliament to go after it himself but without the mandate of the 1 million, it's much less likely to resolve favorably.

>>713810673

Hi, my name is Thor. I've been in the games industry since 2004. I worked for Blizzard Entertainment, Amazon Games Studios, the United States Department of Energy, and now I own my own studio called Pirate Software. I'm a game developer, a hacker, and a giant nerd. Ask me stuff!

>>713812903
If we wanted to go that way, you could put a license on the code/software/whatever that prohibits this like we already do. You don't need to give it away so people can do whatever they want with it.

>>713812525
To be fair a lot of the crashing seems to be from 3+ years ago, and due to alt+tabbing which can be avoided (and according to one of the comments even worked around using a wine virtual desktop).
>I would rather they had been forced to send the source alongside the game so it wouldn't be lost and we could possibly have a native Linux experience today.
I would too, obviously. But to bring it back around to the thread topic, this EU initiative wouldn't have changed anything since when EA/Bioware decided to stop supporting DA:O it was left in a playable state. The onus will always be on the community to come up with some kind of emulator/wrapper if evolving technologies end up breaking shit (Windows 11, Linux dropping 32bit, etc.)

i'm a stalwart supporter of emulators, roms, reverse engineering, hacking, and homebrew
what these people are proposing is insane. i wouldn't want to try starting a new game company under the laws they want.

companies have no obligation to support a product. the law should make unsupported products public domain (note, this does not necessarily include source code). that way, companies can protect their interests and not be legally bound to past endeavors they no longer want to pursue, and consumers can take apart what they have bought and analyze it to their hearts content to understand, document, and make modifications to _their_ hardware/software.

>>713813776
This isn't going to stop devs from making games for normalfags.

>>713812898
>Every single other industry such as enterprise software and the music industry would see this as a major threat to them in the future
I can't think of a single piece of non-gaming software that operates in a way which this campaign is fighting against. Software is an explicit rented service, not a one-time-purchase product with always-online DRM which can nuke your software at any time. The initiative has no issues with true services (like World of Warcraft).

>why can't movie streaming be in the same position since there's currently no law that states if you bought a movie on a service like iTunes that your access must be eternal, everlasting and offline
Most streaming services are actual services. You don't buy individual products there, you pay a monthly fee.
And, honestly, yes this should be codified in a law. If you buy a movie on a service, but the service shuts down, you should be given the option to download that movie for offline consumption. And there even were some legal battles regarding this exact scenario.

>>713812903
Nobody is asking for code.
>You think they will do it for free?
Most community game servers are, in fact, completely free. Yes, there are some with donations and some with incentivized donations (microtransactions, basically), but they're a minority.

>>713813762
>i don't get it

>>713813591
>the only reasonable compromise: informing the consumers that they're buying licenses
The only reasonable compromise is them removing the bit of the EULA that says they can remove access to your games for any or no reason, because that is against EU law, AND they should also inform consumers they're buying licenses AND they should state exactly how long that license lasts.

>>713813760
Would not be so sure. For all the EU cuckery and stupidity. Eu berocrats love to spank corporate asses. It is also easy to build political points on that. For all european unions faults and stupid socialists ideas that destroying our economies.

>>713813817
Everyone assumes that this is something developers would have to do after the fact when in reality this would accounted for during development. A retarded developer would not plan for it and get screwed at the end whereas a normal developer would go, "Okay, we're at the part where we're planning how our servers go, let's talk about end of life now."

>>713813817
the law wouldn't require support AFTER the game is shut down, it would require you having an end of life plan BEFORE shut down.
this end of life plan can vary, even simply remeasing the server binaries would be enough

>>713804320
I want those publishers to die tho,

>>713813942
Try looking up what the word petition means. They are not obligated to go that far even if it passes.

Yeah, this isn't a petition though, it's an INITIATIVE.
If this hits 1 million signatories it is 100% legally obligated to be presented and discussed by the EU gov.

>>713813591
>informing the consumers that they're buying licenses.
This would solve nothing and is not a compromise at all.
>point out any falsehoods.
I'm not watching this shit again. But he completely misrepresented what's actually being asked for and invented his own fake scenarios and fake solutions to his imaginary scenarios.
A good liar doesn't lie, he invents a false narrative then talks facts about that invented narrative. In his false narrative, maybe he didn't lie, but the whole premise behind his logic is false.
At one point he was literally looking at big letters on the screen which said "We're not asking for companies to permanently host a service" and in the next video he literally said "They're forcing companies to keep servers alive forever".
He's a complete fucking clown.

>>713814030
>even simply re[l]easing the server binaries would be enough
yeah, that is INSANE. fuck that.

the problem with the law as it stands is that it is illegal to reverse engineer certain types of programming. companies should not be compelled to release source code or binaries. at the same time, they should not be able to pursue legal action against those that are reverse engineering their software/hardware after support is ended (or at all, really). that is the correct balance between private and consumer interests.

>>713814664
The devs have not taken away your license, which is all you bought.

Why are people so vehemently against owning the things they paid money for???

>Omg why should I care if bad games die????
>Your petition won't change anything!!!

Wow the shills are out in full force today

>>713814493
>That's stealing,
It would not be stealing, because you would be paying for the product including the source code. In a (somewhat) realistic version of this, the source code would obviously be under a license. You are shipped textures and models today, that doesn't mean you are allowed to rip them and reuse them however you want.
>there is a reason coke and kfc wouldn't include the secret recipe on their purchases
Yes. There are many reasons why companies would not like to ship the source code. Some more valid than others. Some that have the same foundational fear that gave us always online DRM, others that are justified.

>>713814739

>>713813876
>I can't think of a single piece of non-gaming software that operates in a way which this campaign is fighting against
Teamviewer just fucking did this. They cut off everyone who bought their old product. Yes bought. Not a subscription, a full perpetual license.

>>713814767
have you even noticed that Jewish SKG shills always accuse others of what they are doing themselves?

>the only reasonable compromise
No. Get fucked you disgusting corporate bootlickers.
I think Ross's demands were way too lax. He went out of his way to ask for better consumer protection without inconveniencing developers and these fucking dogs still found a way to be be upset. The only appropriate response is recognising that developers are scum and having government whip them into shape with draconian regulations. They don't want to play nice so neither should consumers.

You're assuming that the server binaries are something you'd ever be able to run instead of them being some horrific cloud-optimized monstrosity that requires a 10k/month Azure Management Dashboard license just to start up, and is filled with hardcoded domains and security certificates that you'll never be able to change or crack

>>713814761

No they made my license useless because the product it’s attached to is no longer useable. They destroyed my property and should fix this issue or refund me. Any argument otherwise is kike nonsense.

>>713813856

>>713814657
You will be thrown under the bus like the trash that people like PirateSoftware think you are.

>THEY NEED TO RELEASE SOURCE CODE
Not in the initiative, not a talking point, only said by PirateSoftware. Developers will not need to give out source code. They will need to create an end of life policy that keeps that game functional.
>THIS IS A PETITION. SLACKTIVISM!
This is a EU Citizens Initiative that, by law, once a million signatures are reached will have new law drafted in response to it. This is not a suggestion box or a beg. It is either you get nothing or you get a law.
>JUST READ THE EULA, IDIOT!
EULAs are purposefully used to hurt consumers and benefit the bottom line of a corporation. Only in the USA are they legally enforcable and this is because the American government worships Coca-Cola and Apple more than its citizens.
>MMOS WILL DIE
They will not. Game companies will create solutions that will keep them running (privately hosted servers, LAN connections, peer to peer, selling servers to another company, etc.)
>NEED DADDY GOVERNMENT TO HELP YOU? COMMIE.
Ad hominem. Corporations are unwilling to be consumer friendly because hurting consumers makes them money. Government regulation is the only way to prevent Jews from continuing this.
>JUST DON'T BUY IT!
If everyone on /v/ stopped buying games that were online or relied on servers, companies wouldn't stop doing it because normies outweigh us 10:1. Why would you want a normie deciding what is good for your games?
>JUST PLAY OLD GAMES!
Doesn't solve the problem. Eventually all new games, bad or good, will be screwed like this. Playing a game from 20 years ago doesn't solve the epidemic happening now or in the future.
>JUST LET THE INDUSTRY DIE
Normies prop it up. It will continue and not crash even with these current practices. Sorry to ruin your LARPer wet dream.
>DEVELOPERS DECIDE THIS
Developers aren't the ones deciding to shut down the game they worked for years on because it makes $100,000 a month instead of $300,000. That's what bean counters do.

All arguments against this are made by Indians.

>>713814657
There's literally nothing wrong with the wording of the initiative. It's meant to be a short description of the problem that the consumers are facing.
PS literally admitted he *wants* games and services to die and he doesn't value people's loss of access to games and services. So, he's representing the corporate opposition to the movement without providing any arguments of why it is acceptable for companies to effectively pull a kill switch to destroy customer's products.
And the whole reason why companies (and him himself) are against this is because killing a product is the most efficient way of forcing customers to buy your next product (studies show that most people are playing games that are 5-10 years old, on average, which costs companies money as these players are not buying the new stuff).
He's advocating for planned obsolescence in software, which is a completely unreasonable and insane take considering software is easily preservable.

Even in your dream scenario, companies will only do the absolute minimum required. And because there is simply no feasible way to define what a minimum playable experience could be in a law, developers will do everything possible to make your future offline experience as miserable and non-existent as possible.

Most games nowadays use P2P connectivity and not dedicated servers. The dev is only doing the handshake and matchmaking which uses virtually no CPU time and runs on cheapo rented AWS instances.

>>713814914
the server could include special programming to run the game that doesn't make much sense to include in a client (say, a matchmaking program). as a business, you should not be compelled to divulge your trade secrets, and since the trade secret here was never run directly by a user or their machine, there should be no legal expectation by the user to have access to this program. however, users should be free to implement their own functionality and use it to fill the gap. nothing should stop a user from making their own server with their own matchmaking program.

Dawngate (EA)
Age of Empires Online (Microsoft)
Battleforge (EA)
Thankfully, all three were saved by fans and they're alive to this day because of reverse engineering or old devs providing server tools. The devs became independent and are now making their own games without corpo interference.

Cocksuckers like you would want these three games be dead, just because you don't either know they exist or you don't care about them.
If laws are not passed to protect consumers and their ownership, eventually something you like will die and you'll never have access to it ever again.
So fuck off with your non-argument. All media deserves preservation as even bad media has its place in the world. Many movies that people universally consider bad have become cult classic because of their shittiness, why don't you offer this same courtesy to video games?

it's not really part of SKG, but developers should file a copy of the source tree including the tookits they use for safekeeping. it's a travesty that there are still games whose source code gets lost in current year

Doesn't change the fact that this shit isn't direct democracy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy
>Direct democracy or pure democracy is a form of democracy in which the electorate directly decides on policy initiatives, without elected representatives as proxies, as opposed to the representative democracy model which occurs in the majority of established democracies.

EA is a massive umbrella corporation that consists of smaller teams making the games, you can criticize EA for their practices, but the developers are innocent in this
I've read a lot about the studios regarding the games I like
For example, Battleforge was developed by a german team "Phenomic", EA acquired the studio to make them RTS games, the games they made weren't predatory enough to squeeze millions out of players, so they shut Phenomic down, along with their games.
Phenomic still had their team so they made an indie game dev company "Envision Entertainment"
These are just your regular people who want to make games, curse EA all you want, the devs were swindled by the promise of major league development under EA, but it ended up being for naught. Well, not exactly. The games they made at least got revived by fans, are playably to this day and are better than ever under EA.

It's not just a matter of putting everything in a zip file for safekeeping, the build environment matters a lot too
The recent releases of the C&C games source by EA highlights some of the difficulties of this where compiling some of them needs a specific patch level of an old version of Visual C++ alongside very specific versions of third party middleware like the DirectX SDK and some ancient proprietary Nvidia toolkits
So even if you have all the source files, that doesn't mean you can compile it. Even more so if you don't have proper documentation about the tools used.

so what if it will shutdown in 3 years? ill play something else. you dont think 3 years of fun is good enough for an online game i spent $30 in total? how poor r u 4real

Daily reminder mald fagtree has a pooner GF and still hasn't finished a game and if not for lazy indian SEO code and youtube shorts gamification he'd be flipping burgers

As someone who works with software in a business where reproducing builds that could be 10 years old is a thing. It amazes me how far behind the gaming industry is in that aspect. It boggled my mind when I learned that Blizzard used to just overwrite an old build of WoW with a new one without any source control.

Yes but no sane business would agree to do that, fucking licenses on code do jackshit to stop anyone from just using it, devs would simply stop selling to commies yuropoor if anything like that pass as a law

What the hell, that's surprisingly accurate.
Genuine effort posting. Good on you anon.

Pearls before the swine, the faggot corposhill pajeet doesn't really care for the effort you put into your replies. Just tell it to kill itself and call it brown, it'd do more to frustrate the efforts of the creature.

I think you might be overestimating the value of the source code. If someone did major reuse, it would be detectable and you could take them to court.

>>713817468
Tell that to chinese developers, see how it goes lmao

>>713803117 (OP)
Millions of european gamers still play wow retail... i think i know why the gaming state today is the way it is

COMMIES GET OUT

>>713817594
So why don't we have a million Chinese games that reuse models and textures from other games flooding the market? Or do we?

>>713817468
Nobody needs the fucking source code to do this why do you illiterate retards keep repeating this lie?
