>before Steam.
No they were not. They used offline CD keys. All the online DRM options came out after Steam as other companies tried to compete with them. It's why tons of games "on disc" from the mid-2000s are completely unplayable on PC today because of their DRM servers shutting down.

>>713884138
Nope. Videogames would die before Steam. Steam allows you to keep a game for years or decades and download it ad many times as you want. Companies actively experimented with malware-tier DRM's and making it so a game can only be installed/registered a few times on a single copy. And no, selling your games was not considered as officially legal and corpos wanted to fight against it because they'd be getting no money from the used game market.

I remind you that steam also did jack shit to fight piracy of its games for decades. Pic related

I'm still playing Rising Storm: Vietnam 2, it released on 2017 and on 2022 developer officially dropped support but released the SDKs and other tools to the public so fans can make own servers, mods, maps and other whacky stuff.

You can still play Battlefield 1942 over the internet, it didn't stop working just because EA ceased supporting it or releasing updates. This is done on purpose to kill games.

That is fair, at least then people will have a clear answer from their governing body and will either cease, or think of other avenues of approach to the issue. That would at least be something.

>>713886495
nah no shot, even if you're comfortable with heating the batteries (i'd never do it) they're still soft and the process of scraping them out (you still need to scrape heated glue) bends the batteries in such a way that they aren't safe to re-use
if you actually work in the industry i'll defer to you on this, since i was never trained and just told to figure it out, but i don't see how it is, and also i wouldn't say it's something users can do which is what anon was saying sounded like

>>713886676
You need to apply the heat gun to the contact areas where the glue is located to melt it so you can get the battery out without bending or damaging it. But if it weren't for the EU regulations, the batteries would be non removable period and instead built in dead shut into the phones.

Since the event 4 days ago, we did get 159,779 signatures. It slowed down a bit yesterday. dropping to 33,057. But it still has momentum.

Louis Rossmann could do another video, and so could others.

Devs and their acolytes surely are panicking with all these threads and rising numbers.

depends on devs, people in charge of live service games are absolutely in full panic mode, but smaller devs just making traditional games are perfectly fine with it
>This would only apply to EU only anyway
which is a huge gaming market and no devs are gonna bother making different versions of their digital games for America and EU so it will be effectively enforced everywhere, same with basically every product that gets hit by EU regulations.

>>713887434
But Europe is insignificant and is no position to dictate laws of this magnitude to the rest of the world especially bigger markets such as USA, Japan or China.

This is so disguisting. Forcing us to waste money, and at the same time wasting resources, only for their greed.

But after all, humans are like this, always thinking to money. See the worst inventor of history, Thomas Midgley.
He caused the lead poisoning for the planet, decreasing the IQ worldwide and increasing the violence (due to the brain damage).
His workers were diagnosed with extreme alcoholism (due to lead poisoning), and sent into asylums for elettroshock.
Thomas knew everything, but he even smelled the fuel he made, to demonstrate it was safe.
Later he even made a gas which caused the ozone hole we still have this day. At least this time he didn't knew it wasn't safe, but it's tragicomic he is still the one that made a catastrophe that it was stopped in time with a law.

>what exactly would stop fanservers from monetizing shit?

>The short answer is this is a large legal grey area, depending on the country. In the United States, this is generally the case. In other countries, the law is not clear at all since license agreements cannot override national laws. Those laws often consider videogames as goods, which have many consumer protections that apply to them. So despite what the license agreement may say, in some countries you are indeed sold your copy of the game license.

Reminder that anyone calling this communism (eg >>713884192) is an american corporate shill.
Their propaganda machine called any pro-consumer regulation "communist" in order to completely destroy the middle class and make it possible to accumulate wealth in the top 0.1%. Which is actually exactly what communism is, a ruling party of 0.1% which has all the wealth and power and then chooses how to distribute tiny chunks of it to the poor.

>>713884813
>says it requires Internet
"Requires internet" is an ambiguous statement.
1. It does not specify that the entire game will be bricked without internet. Some games require internet only for some scoreboards, or for matchmaking. Historically these games are playable via lan or split-screen, which is what most people would assume to be the case.
2. A game that can be played via LAN also technically "requires internet".
3. People might assume that the internet requirement is just for content updates.

The more south you go, the less people speak English and spend time on English-centric media.

>>713885659
So, here's the reality of the situation:
There was a study done which made it clear that the average "age" of a video game people are playing is somewhere between 7 and 10 years.
This, to publishers, means that they're not only competing with current games but also their old titles. Which they see as a loss of profit.
For example, there's at least 100k people still playing Diablo 2 (combined across the original and remaster). Publishers believe that this is 100k-200k less players playing Diablo 4, which is a loss of at least 5-10 million USD. Which is why, in this case, Blizzard has released Diablo 4 with always-online DRM and mostly server-side game logic. This way when they end the game's servers, their customers will be "forced" to buy Diablo 5 or Diablo 6.

>>713888119
>Seriously what the fuck does this have to do with communism?
Nothing. It's just a strategy the corporations employ to shut down anything consumer friendly. They are able to do that because of the societal pressure against communism that was embedded into the public during the Mccarthy era.
The funny thing is that they've used the commie boogeyman to train the consumers to always lose, while letting actual communists co-opt their universities for 5 decades and eventually half of their government.

I don't see problem there since they'll just need to release better games!

>>713888268
Come now, anon, it's never the bigwigs that feel the pinch

>>713888728
The reality is that people playing Diablo 2 are never going to play Diablo 4 and if access to Diablo 2 were to be destroyed or restricted in order to make them play Diablo 4, they simply would have gone on to play a different game that is most like Diablo 2. The concept of a lost sale is a fucking delusion.

>>713888443
this would've never happened if the industry had some restraint and common sense and didn't start killing off their games.

I don't even really remember what this was about. It's still going on? wasn't this from like a year ago now? I haven't heard about it in a long while
Iirc it's a EU only thing though so I don't have to care. I hope your petition goes though tho

Europeans are brown

>>713888482
There is no advantage for videogame publishers if this passes since that would wake up EU gamers to the power they have. What is stopping EU gamers from starting more European Citizen initiatives and dabbing on microtransactions for example? Dabbing on DRM? I am pretty sure that there are a ton of paid shills all over the internet currently trying to make sure that this never passes.

Same, actually. All of my discs are still 100% functional. Be it original PS1 discs or the cheap consumer discs where I "burned" video games, music, data, etc.

Nah dude. Most of my discs are burned media and they all work completely fine.
They only "rot" if they're used too much. But mine are just sitting in a closet and I use them maybe once every 2 years. I do have digital backups too, but the physical ones are still working.

>>713888870
Yeah, it's still going on, there's been a big jump in activity right on the verge of the deadline, the whole thing was about not letting companies make games with killswitches in them that they can shut down remotely to take your money and leave you with nothing. And thanks man, all the best to you.

>>713888870
>I don't even really remember what this was about

It's an intitiative that, if it gets enough signatures, EU (and UK, there's a petition for them too) lawmakers will have to examine the issue of legislation to ensure consumers can still access their games even after the official servers are taken down

Old videogames easily passed this requirement. Allowing dedicated server hosting for these games that aren't mmos fixes this easily. Something like overwatch is match based and only needs a big central server doing other stuff because blizzard likes money. Or if you make f2p live service shit then you never had to worry in the first place as this doesn't apply really. Or charge a sub fee so "service" is clearly something being paid for and has an end date.

MMOs would be more tricky due to their nature.

Anon... Europe isn't a federation, the states themselves already have stringent labeling and sourcing laws for food, the EU acts as an added layer of security, and the image you posted literally states in 2017 it adapted the same standards of stringency as the US.

>>713891023
EU commission has around 9 months to respond. Then they gather the representatives of the initiative, lawmakers, representatives of the opposition (Ubisoft, etc.) and discuss what the most ideal solution would be for the consumer without outright destroying the industry. These discussions would likely last 1-3 years.
After that they'll probably decide on how to handle these games and give a grace period of another 2 years for game publishers/devs to release any in-dev games so that they're unaffected by these regulations.
After that, any future game would have to comply to regulations they put in place.

Alternatively, they might just decide that they don't want to regulate anything regarding this practice, at which point gamers will at least have some closure and the law will no longer be a gigantic gray area.

Which is impossible you know that right? If this actually started to threaten the big video game publishers they would argue it needs to effect all software or it is unfairly targeting them which would pull in the other software giants into the fight.

>>713891023
then a few years of the EU and the industry debating and going back and forth until a settlement can be reached or the EU straight up enforces it which makes game devs consider how to add this in their titles and comes after it, but its likely they've started doing that with games before it because they saw the writing on the wall

Not my problem. I only play old games and they all work fine when I pirate them. Modern games are all fucking terrible, all of them without a single exception, there is nothing worth saving

If the government wasn't corrupt, all games, movies and literature would be required to be submitted to some kind of national library without any DRM. You could just a set period of time like 10 or 20 years until they become accessible to the public. This wouldn't interfere with copyright and would simply be a way to preserve culture. While franchises and IPs can be profitable for decades, no company makes significant profit from a particular piece of media. Even Lucasfilms (or Disney now I guess) doesn't make a bank off old movies compared to new ones or merchandise sales. And even if it would cut a bit into their profits, who fucking cares? Culture is more important than a corporation making 2% more money the year they decide to milk an old movie or other media.

>>713891305
>Alternatively, they might just decide that they don't want to regulate anything regarding this practice
That's honestly not an option, considering the initiative is even required to address if there's any existing legislation that the European Commission can act on. Which there is of course, all the EU consumer rights directives

You cannot be worse than HDMI Forum (Founders: Hitachi, Matsushita, Maxell, Philips, Silicon Image, Sony, Thomson and Toshiba)

They blocked AMD from releasing HDMI 2.1+ compatibility on their Linux drivers, effectively leaving Linux users without full access to the features their hardware (monitor and cable) supports. So, AMD Linux users are forced to use USB-C or DisplayPort to use 2k/4k screens with over 90Hz refresh rate.
And this is all done because the HDMI Forum wants to make sure that you cannot "pirate" movies by recording the output of the HDMI signals.
A video game developer will never break my monitor as a form of DRM.

It's an option for them to say
>we'll treat these games as services

if this was true then many additives like sodium benzoate wouldn't be listed in EU products because they're limited to 1 ppt in most products and yet they are if they're in sauces and other condiments
the reason sodium benzoate was removed in soda is because it can react with ascorbic acid to form benzene if exposed to high heat or sun rays

That's not a fine print thing, that's just how selling works.
You're seeing "transfer of ownership" as something that refers to the object when it refers to the property.

>>713892532
Can't they literally be sued for this? They're blatantly lying to the end user. It doesn't matter what an EULA says, redefining what words mean is literally there only to maliciously mislead the person making a purchase.

No, it's not even them bending words or trying to redefine what they mean. It's just Sony explaining to the reader like they're retarded that "buy" doesn't mean you're buying the rights to the property, but a license to view it privately.
It's not a lie to say you bought something because you did.

>>713892369
In a sane world copyright would only last 20 years anyways

>>713892483
Which shouldn't happen. The point of Copyright existing is to TEMPORARILY give creators a monopoly on their ideas that then passes into the public domain, so if the creator wants to keep a exclusive revenue stream, they have to make more shit, which also passes into the public domain, thereby driving innovation. The goal was never about actually protecting the "rights" of creators, it was always a mechanism to foster the creation of new works

Also, the vast, vast, vast majority of media stops selling after a few years, the amount of works that contiue to be relevenant on the market for decades or only gets big after the author dies is like .0001% of shit.

A few people missing out on big profits in those rare cases is not a reason to keep 99.999% of media locked under copyright for nearly 200 fucking years where most of it becomes lost media before it becomes public domain

Even back in the 1920s when copyright only lasted 14 years, something like 80% of all films that got made became lost

>>713892756
EULA's just haven't been tested in court because nobody ever fights specific points in them so they keep adding more shit to it. They're pretty much just used by companies as the first line of defense, whenever you the customer complain about something they point to the eula and remind you that you agreed to it. That ends the conflict 99.9% of the time so eula's have a lot of value even if the legal system doesn't back them up.

>>713892756
you should have read the terms and conditions, they clearly told you that if they were to say

More like a Jewish world, no one should have their ideas taken from them for no reason for others to profit on. The whole point of copyright in the first place was to give creators control over their own ideas while spurning others to be original.

>>713893025
EULAs have been brought to court several times though and every time they fail as a legal defense. Its in the same vein as suing some smaller mom and pop store a gorillion times so you can maintain monopoly

I don't have a problem with artists living on one great piece of work. If the work is still making money it is bringing joy to people and the artist earns something off of that. You only live 80-90 years if your lucky, forever is a long time and most of it the artist wont earn a dime on their creation.

>>713892959
>so if the creator wants to keep a exclusive revenue stream, they have to make more shit, which also passes into the public domain, thereby driving innovation.
You know that they have to do that anyway, right?
Those people living off of one hut wonders don't just sit on them, they still go out and perform, licence it out and do whatever with it. So it's not like passive income since they often have to actively search for these opportunities.

In the case of video games it's even harder to do that since you actually have to improve on the previous game to stay relevant.

>>713893037
You can't reasonably expect people to read a 20 page document before making a purchase where the big shiny button says "Buy" or "Purchase" - which are words with an already defined meaning.

Nah, he is an extremely narcissist gay furfag who considers himself a game dev (undertale clone that has been in early access for 7 or 8 years now), claims to be an ex-blizzard dev (nepohire that only worked in QA), and some l33t hacker that hacked nuclear powerplants for the government (dubious) and has 3 DEFCON black badges (actually earned by teams of 20 to 40 people each time).
He had the shittiest take ever on skg, didn't understand it, didn't actually read anything about it and has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on it, just like he does for everything, a regular pattern considering all the controversies in the last few months being basically about the same kind of behaviour.
Now Ross responded and everyone is rightfully shitting on fagware because he still refuses to admit that he misrepresented skg or made any mistake concerning it while playing the victim.

>>713892605
The dude has misinformed against a campaign for customers rights, and by looking at the graph, he is the main cause of its killing (before penguinz0 came for an Uno reverse card).
Probably he knew what he was doing as he has a game, although I don't see what he earns with this misinformation.
He did not admit any fault. He doubled down.

He seems to have an history for lying and misinforming for other things.
He seems to have an history of speaking as he has authority, but he is not expert himself, or just misinforms.

Copyright is litterally a goverment enforced monopoly, it's the jewish concept to begin with

>The whole point of copyright in the first place was to give creators control over their own ideas while spurning others to be original.

No, it wasn't. The literal US consitution outright says that ideas do not have inherent owners and that copyright is merely a mechanism to encourage people to make shit that will then pass into the public domain, and that giving that monopoly to the author is a privlege, it is not a "natural right" to have a claim to an idea

>[the United States Congress shall have power] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

>>713893389
And for those people, their copyright expiring after 20 years really wouldn't make or break their ability to make ends meet for that same reason.

>>713893340
>why do they have top hide that 21 pages into a EULA agreement instead of an asterisk next to the buy button
Because the EULA literally covers how copyright law works and buy with an asterisk implies you aren't buying something when you actually are.

>>713892369
Are you fucking retarded? The owner would still hold the copyright, nobody else would be able to profit off the particular movie or the IP. Each new release in the franchise would have a 20 year timer, the IP would be unaffected.
It would be the same as retro ROMs and other warez on piracy sites except all legal and easily accessible while maintaining the 20 year period so the publisher has more than enough time to milk it dry.
It's just the national film registry or regular ol' libraries on steroids.
How are you going to twist it further, corporate dog?

Lol. Art belongs to the public, copyrights are an attempt to commodify art - nothing more Jewish than that. You can't copyright a video game mechanic or character just like you can't copyright a motif of a painting or a narrative. It's all kikes trying to squeeze a penny out of interactions that should be free (free as in freedom). In a non Jewish world where star wars or pokemon are cultural staples, the public ought to be allowed to add to these works.

>>713893645
Stop stealing, thief. You do not have any right to art that you didn't pay for.

USB C is not terrible but it's true that Lightning was superior as far as the connector goes. We could've easily adopted Lightning instead forcing Apple to give it up and implemented all the protocols we use. Fuck it, rename it to USB-L for convenience.
But you're a dummy that doesn't understand the difference between a connector and protocol so it's not like we can have this conversation anyway.

>that's going to ruin smaller creators.
How come? Almost all smaller creators are significantly more pro-consumer than corporations. If copyright laws have proven anything that's that they only serve big corpos.
>What you're suggesting is literally a major alteration to it
Objectively false. Copyright laws were originally intended to only last 14-30 years, which is exactly what that anon is describing. Copyright lasting over 30 years is a recent trend which was created by corporations during the era of deregulation of american capitalism 50 years ago, which ultimately lead to it's slow downfall.
So, the copyright laws WERE ALREADY MAJORLY ALTERED.

>it's the jewish concept to begin with
HA no, if it were up to Jews they just wouldn't let you have ownership of your own property.

>The literal US consitution
Isn't the origin of copyright mind you. Anyway it actually says this
>Under the IP Clause, copyrights and patents are based on a utilitarian rationale that exclusive rights are necessary to provide incentives to create new artistic works and technological inventions. Without legal protection, competitors could freely copy such creations, denying the original creators the ability to recoup their investments in time and effort, reducing the incentive to create in the first place. The IP Clause thus reflects an economic philosophy that the encouragement of individual effort by personal gain is the best way to advance public welfare through the talents of authors and inventors.

>that exclusive rights are necessary to provide incentives to create new artistic works and technological inventions. Without legal protection, competitors could freely copy such creations, denying the original creators the ability to recoup their investments in time and effort, reducing the incentive to create in the first place.
In other words, eat shit you Jewish cunt and stop leeching off of the ideas of others.

The reason Lightning is better than USB-C is because the port on the device (female) is less likely to break with Lightning than USB-C. On the other hand USB-C cable connectors (male) are more durable than Lightning.
It's easier to replace a cable than a port on the device.

Totally ridiculous to claim that scientific and artistic development is based on copyright when copyright is a modern invention. Not to mention that like all Jews you don't answer the actual argument you've been presented with. Nobody is against being able to exclusively produce something that you've made. What people are against is that copyrights last for absurd amount of time or indefinitely. You think that incentivises innovation you fucking retarded kike? When after 70 years others are not allowed to add onto something? Explain the logic retard. Are there not dozens of corporations who can take existing copyrighted designs and improve upon them? Would they not do it if they had the opportunity to have, let's say, 20 years of profit off it before it expires? Fuck you.

>>713894181
Anon Apple's Lightning is older than USB-C and Apple actually had a part in designing USB-C itself (remember they shilled it hard by making a Mac with no USB A ports in fucking 2015).
I'm no Apple dicksucker Lightning was the one design they nailed, in a better world they would have made it royalty free so that the EU could have chosen it as standard instead.
