On Wednesday July 2nd 8am CET we are going to promote #StopKillingGames on Twitter to get it trending. Get ready

>>713970221 (OP)
We should kill Mario because he is a shxtalian

>>713970282
I will leave that to shitendo, they are doing a pretty good job at raping the old and rotten plumbers corpse already.

>>713970221 (OP)
>using Mario
>a game made by the one company without this kind of drm
You people are so ridiculously dishonest that it hurts.

>>713969927
So you want the state to force the publisher to transfer the server binaries into public domain or something similar on a date known in advance.
Nevermind that the initiative already states that there should be no IP changes.
This is dishonesty/stupidity, on top of limiting the free market. Do you see yet why you're actually commies?

what would be your go to arguments to convince a non gaming relative to sign the petition?

>>713970282
ok but what the fuck is happening in pastaland? Are they having difficulties signing the petition? lol

> killong

#KeepKillingGames so /v/irgins have to go get lives

>>713970424
False.
Look up Mario 100

Over 9,000 for today so far.

So you want the state to force the publisher to transfer the server binaries into public domain or something similar on a date known in advance.

>>713970446
WE DON'T FUCKING PLAY VIDEOGAMES, every thread someone asks this and receive the response and then its promptly forgotten the next one

They are called Europoors for a reason.

Just let them have their gay little petition, hiding inside away from the mass invasion of black as night gorilla niggers directly from africa and islamofascist rape rats is all they can do.

>>713970569
Yes

>>713970569
Yes.

>>713970446
Italians don't care much about shit that happens on the internet.

>>713970631
also the few that play them its Fifa and for Fifa players its just reality that the game stop existing after a year (even if its still on)

>>713970221 (OP)
You can spam this image on Twitter on July 2nd

>>713970631
I never saw those replies.
And you are gonna get more of these questions in the future.

>>713970569
Because the industry can make their case when it goes through the process, you don't have to bootlick so hard.

The publisher can still offer server binaries for download without relinquishing their IP rights over those binaries.
They offer the game client binaries for download without relinquishing their IP rights over *those* binaries as well, after all.

>>713970785
No, because you are indian

>>713970676
nah if its about free stuff or politics they do, it's just in italian, plenty of online petitions reached the threshold here

Communism is a fundamentally evil ideology, but it's a HELL of a lot realer than demoncracy, I'll take a good and honest commietard in spirit here and there over whatever the gay shit is we have now any day of the week, especially in this case.

You commie gamer manbabies should be slaughtered

>>713970881
EU Gigachad just told you that they are moving 20 families of at least 4 african niggers each into your small town. Is he still based?

>>713970221 (OP)
What does Mario have to do with that?

>>713970569
>you're actually commies
and?

>>713970912
>t. insecure low t incel

>>713970785
Being a deceiving cunt that degrades themselves and lies to others for the sake of multi-billon dollar companies makes you evil, yes. You are what you do

>>713970785
The definition of evil is placing one's personal gains above everyone else's wellbeing.
So- yes.

If you're against this ECI and against the EU evaluating the balance between consumer rights and businesses' interests, and are against both being given fair opportunity to plead their case as such, then you are either an industry plant operating in your employer's direct interests for monetary gain - i.e. are evil.
Or you are an idiot that actually doesn't understand how these ECIs work.

Pick.

>>713970569
>Do you see yet why you're actually commies?
Keep saying shit like this and you'll turn /v/ into socialists.

>oh Anon there won't be any console exclusives!
>and there won't be any microtransactions! in fact all games would be free!
>corporate meddling would be a thing of the past and workers would be in charge!
This is dangerous thinking. We need to keep /v/ away from class analysis and kept firmly rooted in identity politics obsession.

>everyone who disagrees with me is a lying cunt
>>713970950
>you won't sign my petition, that makes you evil

Then it should be an easy win for them. Still, they don't need grunts defending them tooth and nail on a videogame shitposting imageboard.

>>713970886
There's certainly a good possibility of that in these thread

>/v/ has become commie central
nothing new under the sun

>>713970886
yes because only a low iq subhuman that has been paid off would disagree with this campaign

Europoor value the things they buy much more than us Amerifats, because they are extremely poor.

Reminder that in most of europe the EFFECTIVE tax rate is near 50%, after income, vat, regional taxes, and etc.

Combined with rather low wages, this means that Europoors have VERY low spending power compared to us golems. We can just buy random shit all the time and we don't care, throwing money away on nonsense. A europoor must carefully analyze every purchase he makes for maximum benefit both short term and long term, so it is understandable that he would be extremely angry if he loses access to something he thinks he owns a couple years down the line.

You would never understand the mentality until you experience life as a europoor, where 50 euros (I don't even have the symbol on my keyboard, that is how irrelevant they are) is a make or break amount of money.

>>713970446
I just fucking hate the EU. Also, people here don't really care much

>600,000 nerds soloed by one guy's 15 minute video
>still crying about it a year later

>>713970886
That's correct, Rajeesh. Digital ownership only concerns civilized nations, you don't need to worry. You'll be allowed to lick those corpo boots for a very long time in your shithole Brownistan.
Everyone in this thread who's against SGK is a brown shill. Every single one.
Will you post hand, jeet-kun? Of course you won't.

>>713971136
Every free market is regulated, and there are good reasons for that

>>713970796
Those still have EULAs, and publishers _are_ alive.
Gabe snorts all the coke in the world, Valve and Steam disappear, you're downloading the old CS dedicated server from a torrent, and you're pretty much a vaporware pirate in my understanding, even if you had a legitimate copy once. (I'd love to be corrected on this).
The petition aims to have all games have a contingency plan to be released into this vaporware state if the publisher dies. Do you see how this is limiting? Do you see how a publisher can be attacked to take over their game (e.g. TF2 bot situation)? There will be cheaters everywhere, is that still "Functionally Playable State"? Seriously, watch/read summary of PirateSoftware's videos, he makes a few good points.

>>713971109
>how dare you have a contrary opinion in my thread! Where is the downvote button?! How can I keep other people from seeing this comment??? MODS??
maybe you should go back? the thing about 4chan is that you need to be able to swim in the sea of piss without the sting in your eyes or the smell bothering you, but you can't do it

you lack grace, humor, and wit

that is why your "obvious win" petition struggles so bad, because you retards want to fight with everyone about it, when all you need to do is just exist and offer an open hand of friendship

>>713971168
Depends on which country you're talking about. "Europe" is comprised of many different countries that vary is wealth and consumer culture. It's not like America that's one nation split into states

>>713971168
>Combined with rather low wages, this means that Europoors have VERY low spending power compared to us golems.

As someone actually from the EU: this is bunk. I can leisurely buy, i.e. debit - paid in advance in full, a new "60 4K OLED living room TV set every month and it would still not burn a hole in my pocket. And I make average wage.

>>713970221 (OP)
Based. I will promote it to my parents too.

>>713970221 (OP)

SO LONG JUDAS

if your petition was a good idea, we wouldn't be having these threads :)

>>713970443
That some day his expensive "smart" whatever will suddenly stop working because the manufacturer killed the login server.
My tech illiterate boomer parents have a samsung tv that for some pants on head reason requires a fucking account to use. It's only a matter of time before samsung realizes what the gaming industry is getting away with and tries to copy it by killing the auth server, rendering the tv unusable.

It's more that the further west you go into Europe the more people take responsibility for their own actions and learn from their mistakes.

why you need to own something, you can perfectly go on with life without owning anything

>>713970796
>The publisher can still offer server binaries for download without relinquishing their IP rights over those binaries.
Except they can't. Doing so would alter their rights over that property and ultimately affect how they can defend how they're used.

>>713971527

>>713970829

SUPER MARIO BROS 35, FAGGOT, CAN YOU PLAY IT?
Jesus, tendies are so dishonest as always.

>>713971278
Piracy in the EU is a case of a civil suit. You can also only sue for provable damages in lost sales. Punitive damages are not a thing in the EU. So if the rightsholders are gone, then even if it would be classified as piracy to pull in that material via a torrent, there would a) be no-one capable of bringing a case and b) there'd be no provable damages in lost sales, since the product is not for sale anymore.

>>713971460
Yeah but I have a fully paid off house and land while you're stuck paying $3000 a month to rent some shitty apt like the cuck you are.
Do you leave the apt in shame while your whore of a wife is shagging the landlord or do you prefer to stay and watch?

>I'm so rich I can buy a TV every month!

>>713971486

Why would you larp as a burger of all things.

>>713971589
I kinda blame the citizenship thing slipped in there ngl
But yeah, people don't care that much about voting here

>>713971589
i'm specifically talking about online petitions, also in the referendum vote abstention = no vote, it's not that difficult to understand

>>713970569
>>713971136
I'll bite your bait. We could have virtually infinite copies of any software, but there are fags deliberately restricting what a computer can do through always-online / DRM mechanics. I don't like it when some faggot decides he's going to artificially change the nature of infinitely-reproducible software. Also, there are STATE level legal protections that prevent people from copying software infinitely. So the state is responsible for fixing at least a subset of the problem they created in the first place.

>>713971570
>Doing so would alter their rights over that property and ultimately affect how they can defend how they're used.
ID released the source code for DOOM decades ago and is still selling old and new DOOM games just fine, offering server binaries does not mean giving away the IP.

>>713971542
Why don't you go live in the woods then faggot

>>713971617
Detecting a lot of projection in this post.

The fact is the petition is a european thing, because only europoors are poor enough to care about it.

>>713971589
>he actually supported that referendum that would have actually killed the italian economy even more
just say you hate italy at that point

Jeets larping as Amerifags in this thread is the funniest thing ever. The brown dog thinks $120k is a lot in places like LA.
Stop shitting on the streets and then you can talk about consumer rights.

From what I've seen so far, StopKillingGames movement is not fighting to make changes like
>let's persuade publishers to never remove their games from digital stores, maybe people will buy them 6-7, 15 years from now
but instead they fight for keeping the multiplayer servers online, for games that have 5 active players. Yeah, fuck that.

>>713971678
There is no problem because there is no danger involved.
When your Tesla locks your windows and burns your alive because of Indian software engineering or whatever, any state has a reason to be concerned. When you cannot play your vidya juegos, you're just being a whiny bitch.

>>713971542
You can also go no with life while owning things. "Owning" implies things that can't be taken from you. Why would you not want that?

>>713971168
The taxes are so high because we can go to ospital and to school for free? Even the insulin is affordable.
Amerimutts die because they cannot buy insulin, and become fat because the unhealty food is much cheaper. Just to say a few things.

This is the "greatest country" in the world. A coutry that has all the resources to become much better than Europe, yet people there still have to get in debt for life just to study.

Spending power is defined by what you have available freely for spending.
Not by your gross monthly income.

How much of that $ 10,000 is being set aside for taxes, medical bills, insurances, retirement fund, etc?

>>713972013
Yes anon, everything can be taken from you if you're being pedantic enough. But we're talking about the general concept of ownership in a society. Why would you not want to own your possessions if you could?

>>713971929
You should stop looking at videos made by anti-skg shills then. If you had bothered skimming the official FAQ you'd know whatever video you watched was full of lies, disinfo and half truths.

GAH! Fucking Euros always getting shit wrong about Americans.
1. Yeah you're a big enough market if shit happens over there it happens over here so OF course we're fucking invested you troglodyte.
2. Do NOT underestimate the power of American's ability to fuck with people. If you want to appeal to an American you can try logic, but you'll get a visceral reaction if you can appeal to their ire. Frame something as a fight (FUCK THOR) and they'll be more than glad to help out.

>>713972154
no, it's just weird how you get angry that someone is getting money for their work, maybe this thread is really filled with commies like some retards are claiming

>>713971570
You are an idiot that lacks the brainpower to understand how IP works.
If a rightsholder chooses to distribute a work freely, that does not relinquish their exclusive distribution rights over the IP or any rights they may have over it.

Hitler would've supported Stop Killing Videogames. So would Stalin. So would Washington.

>>713972064

Look what thread you're posting this in. Does the subject not clue you in as to why ownership is preferable to being at the mercy of others?

>Stop killing games
You never owned the games in the first place dumbos, all you have is a license to rent them.

Anon, the source code and doom itself ie doom guy, imps, pinky icon of sin etc etc are wholly different things. They're not one big property.

Why is it that the only arguments for skg come from either a place of ignorance or dishonesty?

>>713972158
>why would you want to own the house you bought
I see the shills have taking up spewing actual nonsense as a means of shitting up the threads.

>>713972325
that is why this petition exist, to remove the dumb license system and move to a "you buy you own it forever" one, its time to kill licenses entirely (i hope they also kill also EULAs)

>>713971663
The left was vile to use the worker rights as a trap to vote the citizenship trash. Also it was the first time the quorums were independent from each other, so it's possible that many didn't know.

Anyway, I don't think people would have voted regardless.

>>713971739
The referendum was to partially *get back* some rigths there were before.
Ironically it was the left removing those rights, causing a huge increase in precariousness.

>>713970221 (OP)
>63%
hahaha you LOST you LOST so hard hahaha. You idiots never accomplish anything xD

>>713972252
All the people you listed and many more would consider any video game culture to be extremely indolent and cancerous to a healthy nation. Stalin would absolutely have thrown gamers in work camps if such an activity existed at that time - he threw gamblers and drunks in labor camps, which is about as close as it gets.

>>713972325
>never owned
But I do. Games are products and not services here in the EU. No eula/tos will ever override EU law.

>>713971168
this. take the average gross salary of a senior software engineer, a well-paid white collar job.
>Poor euro countries (Greece, Romania): $30K
>Average euro countries (France, Germany): $50K
>Rich euro countries (Switzerland, Norway): $80K
meanwhile across the ocean
>USA as a whole: $100K
>USA, Bay Area: $250K
combine that with much heavier taxes and no such thing as tax deductibles and the average European has far less disposable income than his American counterpart.
also the gap has only widened in recent years and will continue to do so. Western Europe is slipping into 2nd world territory.

Big brands' (e.g. Sony, LG) OLED top segment at living room sizes goes at a non-trivial 2500-3500 EUR price-range though.
That's quite a lot of freely disposable income to throw away every month. Esp. if you consider that it doesn't burn a hole in the pocket yet - i.e. there's still comfortably more freely disposable income left.

Keep in mind also: Europe buys debit, not credit. They don't pay downpayments. They pay in-full, in advance.

The problem is that you don't really own something you bought. I want to fully own my tesla, computer, and my video games. I especially want to fully own it if it's infinitely reproducible. Why the fuck would I tolerate anything else, even if it's in an insignificant domain? Would you let some indian streetshitter walk into your house, borrow one of your bowls and take a shit in it if he promised to wash it after?

What, like claiming devs would have to keep their game maintained forever? Or that devs would have to give up their IP? Or that we should just accept it because the ToS says so? Or that it's communism? Or that it is impossible? Or that it isn't desirable because supposedly no one cares about these games? Or that convincing all consumers to stop buying these games is a variable alternative to passing laws about it?

All these are arguments are used in every single thread. Many of them posted in the exact same way. So go ahead and talk about dishonesty, because the detractors of SKG spew little else

>>713972815
Yes. All GPL code, of course. Source ports and WAD files are pretty much independent, so not sure why you're asking that.
I'm talking about the choice between the legally clean FreeDOOM WAD asset files, and the original Doom/Doom2 WAD files - which are IDs IP, but one can find them freely available in a billion places. Doubt ID will stay forever cool with piracy like this.

>>713972325
European Court of Justice ruled as part of prejudicial hearings for Usedsoft vs Oracle that EU consumers actually buy the digital content and have ownership over their copies. Even where there is no physical carrier medium involved, they have ownership over the ephemeral bytes.

In fact, this is why platforms like Steam are legally required to still give you access to your account and purchases to install and play, when they otherwise fully ban you off of the platform.

>combine that with much heavier taxes and no such thing as tax deductibles
There's plenty of tax deductibles, actually. Notably deductibles for healthcare expenditures, home-office expenditures, etc.
Income tax rate tends to be scaled and tends to run from 10-40% where only the part of the income exceeding each scaled level's threshold is subject to that amount of taxation. The 40% isn't hit until obnoxious levels like 100,000 EUR income. Wealth tax doesn't exist in all member states. In many where it does exist, it is a figure based on what could realistically be obtained by making your money work for you via higher interest on deposit sums, stocks, etc. hovering around 1~4%.

Most EU consumers also tend to more proactively build up savings than US citizens, which are living more month-to-month on credit.
The average EU consumer has 20,000 EUR banked and saved for emergency expenditures. The average US citizen has a few hundred bucks, and that's it.

Ah. So THIS is where the mindset comes from that is so turned against SKG and owning your games.

Most gamers support this idea but don't specify how it should work. They only care about the result. For a law like this to pass, it needs to be written carefully from a technical perspective, which is a challenge. Sure, some genres are easy to implement, but others are more complex. If it's adopted as it is, it could end up killing many games and genres. It'll be cheaper for companies not to make a game at all than to create an "afterlife" for it. And yeah, most gamers probably don't care about this, but I'd be sad if the industry lost future games just to keep old ones. This is basically a trade-off: we're not killing old games, but new ones.

>>713973804
Oh well yeah, fair. I forgot about that detail

This is why you are euroPOOR.
Americans use their money to make more money, and then pay off their debt, while retaining the initial capital.
You use your starting capital to make a purchase, instead of using it to make more money and pay for the purchase.

This sounds EXTREMELY confusing to you, because you are a socialist europoor who thinks that making money is evil.

Not really. The EU's expenses on defense were shifted mostly to foreign aid and development programs for agriculture and healthcare in Africa. The EU could just collectively cut spending on foreign aid like the Trump administration called a halt to USAID expenses and it'd have all the defense funds it'd need.

no, games as service should have a clear indicator for when they get shut down!

Did Epic give away their rights to Unreal Tournament 2004?
>Let's try all of them since you can't force people to do what you want.
You can when they want to sell something. In fact, companies are already forced to do a bunch of shit if they want to legally sell a product. With your logic, devs could just release a game that literally didn't work and all would be honky dory because "you can't force people to do what you want."

Stealing is legally defined as removing a property from its rightful owner, such that they no longer have access to it.

No one should want corporations to have more power than governments.
Governments can fumble their use of power, but corporations will actively use it maliciously against you.
There are checks on government power. There are resources you have to respond to abuse.

Cool. Anyways SKG is about protecting customer/consumer rights by letting them play their games even after the publisher shuts down official servers. I don't see how rapefugees are relevant to this discussion, talk about it on /pol/ where someone gives a fuck.

>>713974443

No, no you can't. The sell you the product they want to sell you and the onus is on you as the potential consumer to decide whether you want it or not.
>devs could just release a game that literally didn't work and all would be honky dory because "you can't force people to do what you want."
May I introduce you to games such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, Aliens Colonial Marines and Sonic 1 GBA. It's not uncommon for games that don't work to be released hell the 80s and 90s were flooded with them and no one expected them to be fixed with a revision because we just didn't buy them.

It is a European Citizens Initiative. This is a process withing the EU where Europeans can have a direct interaction with the EU governing body that can result in legislation. The process itself is legally binding once the 7 country thresholds and the 1 million votes from EU citizens have been passed. This is why only Europeans can participate since this is pretty much like voting but just on a single issue.

Reminder this is going to lead to dedicated servers and there is a good reason the industry moved away from them.

Do you really want a future where ANYONE can host a server for your favorite game, giving they/them access to YOUR IP and private information which they could misuse unlike legitimate and honest companies who follow string privacy guidelines?

>>713975420
>See what I mean, I explained how they're all different properties and you can't help but ignore what was said.
No, you just listed off components of a game. Did Epic give up the rights to the Skaarj because I can host my own server in UT?
>No, no you can't. The sell you the product they want to sell you and the onus is on you as the potential consumer to decide whether you want it or not.
Seatbelts, nigger
>May I introduce you to games such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, Aliens Colonial Marines and Sonic 1 GBA
You know what happened with Arkham Knight? It released in such a broken state that it became one of the first games to be taken off the store, and it resulted in the refund policy we enjoy today. So clearly, you can force standards. What exactly do you think regulations are, anyway?

>>713975580

>>713974661
>Stealing is legally defined as removing a property from its rightful owner, such that they no longer have access to it
Your property aka the file/disc associated with your license is still in your possession and it still functions as you were told the day you bought it as is described on the box. Nothing is wrong with your property.
>I get to keep a game running indefinitely because a publisher is legally forced to give me a COPY of the server software, that's not stealing
Which is appropriation of property that doesn't belong to either you or the government aka theft.
You want the government to legalise theft.

This is the most democratic thing yet since it puts power into the citizens who vote for it

>>713975707
>Weird they arent coming after xbox though, since its pretty much the same there
That's because Xbox and by extension Nintendo still give retailers code cards so they don't have a monopoly over their digital store fronts. Sony on the other hand killed theirs years ago so they're in complete control of their storefront.

>>713975881
second part meant for >>713975721

>>713975283
It's legally binding. I.e. if it hits 1 million, it has to be seriously considered.
There is also proper protocol for it, so it cannot be offhandedly dismissed.

A more appropriate term would be a referendum. But it's also not quite that.
I would just substitute the full term of "European Citizens Initiative" instead.
Capitalization included, since that gives it the necessary gravitas.

Who are these threads for? If you were interested in spreading awareness and trying to get signatures you wouldn't be actively engaging trolls and allowing yourself to be made fun of.

This is some tribal bullshit where supporters of the petition are circling the wagons and looking for a fight, since it is now ideological.

>>713975905
Just ask them to sign it and says its important to you personally. Give them simple instructions. That's all it takes.

Yeah- it's because Xbox doesn't have the install base to hit monopoly thresholds in anti-trust legislation.
After having watched the video: this foundation is going for the Epic vs Apple play.
And Epic WON that one wrt Apple being forced to open up aspects of the platform. Even in the US. Even though Epic had screwed the pooch on violating Apple's terms and conditions for publishing on the platform beforehand.

And this is in the Netherlands.
With the Dutch.
Who tend to be *very* pro-consumer. (They are actually one of the few countries in the world with legislation that states lifetime lasting liability of the trader and manufacturer for fitness for purpose of a purchased product, let that one sink in.)

This is going to end up ... interesting.

Correct, and the same happens when GaaS games get cut short due to unexpected events. The expected duration here is a few years after release, a threshold all of these games under contention have reached.
So both sports leagues and game companies are already doing what they should on that front. No idea where this "explicit end date" tangent came in or why it matters.

one of the most financially irresponsible things you can do is letting your money rot in a bank account.
always invest it, keep it moving, keep it working for you. if you need to "save up for something" you're doing it wrong and inflation and exchange rates will have their way with your savings.

And they still made a retarded decision, so they lose the right to make it worse for eveyone else.
If a retard sets a field on fire, you don't clain that that's it's his choice and if it's bad for everyone else, it only depends on him to not make the retarded choice. You send his ass to prison and force his retarded ass to not set another field on fire with penalties.

Spend some of the time you are jerking off to the worse girl of the two to learn about the laws you're arguing about, retard.
These terms and conditions dont mean jack shit because
>It's ALWAYS specified under T&C as until EoS, the date being at the full discretion of the publisher
Is basically a Get-out clause on the side of the publisher and One-sided change to the product or service, which in turn nulls the entire document even without considering the fact you agree on it AFTER the purchase, which voids it automatically.

>>713977130
It has been proven time and again that that is not feasible. That's why pro-consumer laws exist in the first place. You're living in a fantasy world if you think this is any solution at all
>just learned that shit by yourself, not the companies fault you are a retard and don't read or inform yourself
Did you miss the part where they were actively lying about their products? Which means that much of the information you would come across would be fraudulent in the first place. And again, most people do not have either the time or ability to research these things, which is precisely why regulations are a thing

Mods please enable country flags in these fucking threads already.

>>713975085
Yeah but you should have the ability to actually own your games. Imagine if you couldn't own a VHS or record back in the day and certain companies only let you rent them. It's a terrible industry standard that people should protest

>>713977285
kys faggot

>>713977421
Why wouldn't you want to trust products? Do you want said products to actively make things worse in the society that YOU reside in? This is a you problem unless you're completely self-sustainable and separate from society

Server binaries don't have to be released into public domain, are you a fucking chinese room? Just give them to people that purchased the game. No, it will not transfer the IP to whoever gets them, no more than being able to run your own Rust or Conan Exiles server grants you the ownership of their IP. Stop being fucking stupid.

Not a falseflagging glowie btw.

I'd like to imagine that in an alternate universe where piratefag never mentioned the petition it wouldn't have lost its momentum quite as hard as it did months ago but it still would have failed by just a smidge towards the end. But in our universe, because of his ratfucking ways, people have such a visceral reaction to him that they will just sign the petition in droves, even if they don't give a shit about it at all. It will be remembered as the EU initiative with the highest amount if signatures and there will be a Wikipedia article written on it where Thor will be named as one of the chief critics of it. And he'll seethe about it endlessly.

Exactly, and they learned that's why games with DRM are dying. With less and less being released.
You, and people like you, are taking away the lessons they can learn from their mistakes so they can repeatedly buy shitty games over and over and over again.

>>713977131

No, I'm talking about the T&C presented at the time of purchase

>>713978281
People will still be responsible for the games they buy. It's very retarded, like saying regulations to prevent food from containing pollutant or preventing industries from dumping manufacturing waste water in rivers is only a case of people not taking responsability for their purchases to not support what the seller does.

>>713978561
Steam is not all there is - physical still exists and does not require a T&C on purchase, and it still does not take away the fact that there's still the issue of the Get-out clause and a one-sided change

>>713978569
>like saying regulations to prevent food from containing pollutant or preventing industries from dumping manufacturing waste water in rivers is only a case of people not taking responsability for their purchases to not support what the seller does.
False equivalence. You're talking about sustenance in a conversation about entertainment.

>>713978569
>like saying regulations to prevent food from containing pollutant or preventing industries from dumping manufacturing waste water in rivers is only a case of people not taking responsability for their purchases to not support what the seller does.
NTA but no.
An appropriate food analogy would be buying food you know you're allergic to and then blaming the company for making it.

>>713977529
Would be pointless when proxies exist. Thread IDs on the other hand... that would be a god send. Every blue board should have them, as far as I'm concerned. Trolling and other shitposting belongs on red boards.

>>713979095
Proxies would make IDs just as useless.
Either way a ton of SKG supporters would be filtered day one if it either were applies today.

>>713978776
Yes, but it's been widely understood since the early 2000s that any game that relies on online servers is at the full mercy of the developers' choice to maintain said servers. So long as the developer does advertise otherwise, they're fine

>>713979165
The whole point of IDs is exposing samefaggotry and shitters trying to derail a convo by jumping into it. If you've been cycling through 20 different IDs you're not going to be able to reply with the 7th ID you used in any given convo.

>>USA as a whole: $100K
You're pulling numbers out your ass. I'm a second year software developer straight out of college, and I'm making 80K. In the Midwest. How are seniors making chump change?
Also these type of statistics are flawed because they account for too much. You even split USA into two, but we need more groups for both Europeans and US.

>>713979165
It's better than nothing, you can often tell when somebody posts with a proxy.
But both it's good.
