On Wednesday July 2nd 8am CET (Tuesday night for Americans) we are going to promote #StopKillingGames on Twitter to get it trending. Our current 4 day signature rate is HIGHER than it was at the start of the campaign btw.

buy an ad

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT! ESPECIALLY COLLECTIVE POSITIVE THOUGHT!

THIS SHIT IS GOING TO REACH 1,000,000 SIGNATURES EASILY!
HOLD THAT THOUGHT AND VISUALIZE IT IN YOUR MIND EVERYDAY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE STARTING NOW AND IT WILL MANIFEST INTO REALITY. DO IT! I'M NOT JOKING!

VISUALIZE AS OFTEN AND AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE!

EVERYTHING IS ENERGY AND VIBRATION
ATTUNE YOUR VIBRATIONS TO MATCH THAT OF FREE STUFF AND IT WILL FLOW TO YOU

We are slightly beating our sign rate from our first 4 days of the campaign by about 20%. If it has a similar curve as that did than we might be able to make it.

Explain why you are entitled to an unlimited service. When you sign the ToS, you are agreeing to a limited-term license of a game. If you don't like it, stop playing video games.

I'm not agreeing to anything because TOS is not a legally binding document in Europe. It is in the US, which is why it is there, to get corporate slaves that have forgotten their freedoms to heel.

>>713978763
Yup. That's called adulthood. Accepting that there are terms and conditions to a product is adulthood. You cannot throw baby shit-tantrums in the middle of a Disney World and not expect to get kicked out.

>>713978748
yeah Im sure it will pass and then get denied because of all the fakes

>>713978702
Explain how gaming companies are allowed to sell a service as if it were a product

>>713978798
>I'm not agreeing to anything because TOS is not a legally binding document in Europe.
Odds are, those servers are being hosted in the US.

I just ran the numbers. If the signature rate slows at the same rate it did last time than by January 24th we should have 800,000 signatures with 1 week left to go

>>713978748
You cannot fake this.

>>713978801
And now the industry will have a few more terms and conditions if they want to do business.
Glad we got that cleared up.

>>713978028
The EU will enforce the petition if it gains the necessary amount of signatures.

This kills the shill.

>>713977732 (OP)
People signing this movement are retarded, they fellate that fat fuck Gabe Newell lol

Stop posting this forced crap . Your shitty petition is never singing into parliment .

>>713978847
They aren't, hence the TOS you're signing.
>>713978902
The ball isn't in your court. You have literally no leverage.

>>713978870
They probably are, but that is no business of mine, if they want to sell in the EU they will obey EU regulations.

>>713978915
>>713978698

>>713978929
Its not a petition. And is the best chance of saving that one game you love.

I'm considering signing it. Not because I care about games, but because any strengthening of consumer law is good.
Then again, I'm always hesitant to lend my name to anything involving politics. Who knows how the next lists for death camps will be compiled.

>>713978896
all it requires is a valid ID, and you can buy mass 'valid' ID's online for credit card fraud in batches of 100's for $1000 per batch

I think the issue is hardly that they are cancelling live service games.
they shouldnt be pumping them out in the first place. and also kill gacha, its a bigger problem desu. if you were hyped for suicide squad you are a retard

A lot of pajeet shills in this thread. This is from Babel Media:
>Helping your business succeed through social media is more than a job, it's a calling.
>A calling to discover, create and inspire your audience.
>We are thinkers and doers - we worry about your social media so you don't have to.
It's a social media manipulation company employed by Ubisoft. They bot and derail comment sections and message boards.

I'm not making a twitter account Elon

>>713978960
>You have literally no leverage.
That's why we are going throught the eu legal process to get leverage.

why are the supporters of this movement so toxic?

>>713979003
>Not because I care about games, but because any strengthening of consumer law is good.
No it isn't. The relationship between a consumer and a company is a delicate balance. If we give ultimate authority to consumers then it will just boil down to free products for everyone.

This entire movement is just fucking stupid.

>>713978896
you absolutely can, it just that it get immediately discovered when the actual checks begin

>>713979056
>I can't just take your money and run anymore this is anudda shoah!
No.

Who is we?
I'm not going to do shit.

Companies are constantly lobbying for greater power. They always have the upper hand. Consumers need to take every opportunity to level the playing field.

>>713979049
Is this a death threat?
*opens MS paint*
Yeah, you see I've been getting threats like this all week from the SKG community, yeah. Every single one of them is being documented, reported, blocked and banned. Welcome to the finding timeline, bud. Hope this was worth it for you.
*stretches*

I dont fucking get it, why there is so many people on a fucking video game board fighting and spewing contrarian shit to let corpos behave even more disgusting. Its like people on /tv/ defending Netflix ability to disable their monitors/tvs... I just dont get it. do those people need to troll this much?

#hostarefugee

>>713979305
What's even your point? The EU already has that power. They can pass whatever fucking law they want already, nobody can stop them.
The only difference is that this is one time this regulatory power could actually be used for something the populace wants and benefits from instead of gay bullshit.

Why not make a github with resources for replacing middleware with open source solutions and a clear vision to actually preserve online only games with complex databases? Redditor behavior, might as well kill games since this "movement" will kill any future tries that are actually made by people with technical knowledge and a vision.

>>713980409
/pol/tards don't have any principles. They're the dumbest kind of contrarian where they will actively work against their own self-interest if some demented retard tells them that that would align them with trannies and lefties and women or some other demographic they despise.

he's just not that good at it. he wanted someone else to take charge but no one would.

>>713980315
In my understanding it's more for games like Death Stranding or Dark Souls, where there are online components directly integrated into the user's experience with the game, and people would miss out on a lot of mechanics if the servers were just to permanently shut down.

what will happen when it passes, the EU looks at it and dismisses it?

This whiteness map is wrong. You have to sort by "signatures per capita highest first" to get the actual whiteness map.

The reason nobody can agree is because while this would be a good thing on paper who fucking knows how the EU will handle it. They could twist this so it barely does anything but forces even more restrictions and obligations on smaller devs

This whole initiative is "hey this is bad EU, do something about it"

No, I have direct evidence those are the same people. Conservatives have zero principles and will flip flop on their position the moment they think they have to cooperate with lefties on something. They're genuinely that fucking dumb.

Stop trying to make this a "left vs right" thing. There are people all across the political sphere who supports this. You are just trying to create a shitshow to undermine the message. If you pay for a product, you own that copy of your product. You should be allowed to use said product.
It is your individual and generally collective right that we own games we buy.

they're on the right side so whatever but goddamn a little due diligence would be appreciated

>>713980976
The only restriction and obligation being a dedicated server button. Conan Exiles and Rust both have that, which is why they will never die even should development cease on both of those games and their developer completely abandon them. This will only work in the favor of the devs as over the years people will continue to buy the game due to word of mouth and community persistence. Killing games to sell NEXT GAME is a short term strategy that promises profits, but does not actually deliver them.

Okay let me make a rebuttal of all the common critques
>this is forcing devs to keep servers up forever
What is community server hosting?
What is peer to peer connection
What is removing artificial server connections from games that dont need them (Hitman and the like)
People are just unaware of alternatives simply because they are used to being treated like cattle.
>this is big government creeping into our lives and having tyranny manifest
Regulating an industry is not tyranny, its how you prevent a healthy free market transforming into a edging towards ancap hell state like the US.

Sort of. The 'Right' is a pretty diverse (ideologically) group of voters. You have your corpo cocksuckers for sure though but they're not exactly the majority, they just own half the politicians. Just recently a utah senator just tried to sell ~2m acres of public land off just this week and the resulting backlash pitted right wing corpo cuck libertarian types with the rest of the right and it resulted in the amendment being scrapped because it was so unpopular.

It offloads the process to the player, but online access is still managed by the central Bandai Namco server that hosts the p2p client. Aka a dedicated server. You can't play the original Dark Souls online right now for example, without spoofing the client precisely because of it, since it had been shut down after a malicious exploit had been discovered and Namco decided not to bother trying to fix it and just pulled the plug on the online service.

Wrong wording but general idea remains the same. Having companies with bad business practices and saying "VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET" doesn't work like that. Otherwise Disney would have gone bankrupt years ago. Regulation exists because you need to have some protections.
Like a common sense regulation is to not have companies dump raw waste into a river that people source water from. Your proposed solution is "LETS GET EVERYONE TO NOT BUY FROM THEM" while they're still dumping shit into the river.

>>713982010

>>713982295
Piracy worked as free advertisement for games. A pirated game later starts to sell, especially if it was good, because the pirate starts to suggest the game to his friends or online.
Also, if games are mainstream today, we owe it to the PS2 piracy era which popularized games.

Not enough? EU paid a lot of menoy to commission a study to demostrate that piracy hurted sales.
They later hidden everything because the study did not give the hoped results. The study did not manage to demostrate that piracy hurted sales.

Why would I not be apathetic when first of all, most of the games coming out are not worth caring about, and second of all, I stopped engaging as often with them since I have other, more important work and things to take care of than those alone now that I stopped being a teenager with shit ton of time on his hands and no plan for the future?

I don't care what happens to the market anymore, I don't need new amazing games to come out every single year and to go mainstream. If I ever want to play something, I'll just look through past ones that came out which I haven't got to play yet and try those. If not, I'll look at indies or something else.

Only the PCMR needs a public therapy session and massive spamming begging for personal army. Even more pathetic are the European PC fanboys. Glad you're all balding age age 55.

>>713983096

no, PSN offers the connectivity.
PC only has garbage APIs, like Steam-slop, which is shit and doesn't deliver what PSN can.
Cope
>PSN is dedicated servers
well duh, you fucking moron, how are accounts or trophies or shop purchases or downloads supposed to work, you dumb imbecile?

Fact is: Dark Souls itself has NO DEDICATED SERVERS, it's peer to peer. Therefore nothing can be turned off. Therefore you are full of shit.

Nigger, even villagers and the poor have ACs in their homes. There are just some people who can handle the heat and don't want to install an AC. And many countries don't have extreme heat so they don't even need it. I don't think you'd need an AC in Sweden and Ireland. But you would in Portugal and Italy.

What a retarded non-argument for not preserving games. The heat death of the universe doesn't really matter in regards to preserving things that can actually be preserved. You know, like video games

>>713980672
Do you think that in order to run a server you need the source code? What? It's like any other piece of software that fulfills a certain function on a computer. The only reason why you would need the source code is if you want to keep developing it. I'm going to assume that games at the end of their life cycle aren't going to get any further updates that would require people to update the server tools.

>>713983518
This literally based off of profits in sales based off when the denuvo crack was released and how it effected sales figures. This has literally NOTHING to do with the pirates opinions or figures
Why are you willfully acting like a moron?

>>713980724

>>713983567
Literally making threads just so they can pretend to be against it, only children and actual industry shill would give enough fucks to come here to act like a retarted contrarian.

>>713983570
All online games utilize dedicated servers, yes. Otherwise there's no online connectivity. The user is rarely the host these days, instead that is offloaded to a central server ran by the company that manages the incoming connections. You do realize that it's still a dedicated server even if you are not the one hosting it and instead it's some PC in San Diego. Or do you imagine that PSN is a magical hivemind of PS3's talking to one another to form one big powerful supercomputer? Because it's not like that at all. The online connectivity of PSN games is guaranteed by countless dedicated servers running on their in-house software stack. Each game with an online component that is present on PSN has its own software that acts as such.

>>713982524
You're either a moron, or a planted shill using wilfull misrepresentation.
The actual video is scalding towards EU citizens NOT signing the petition and remaining on their ass instead; including bullshit reasoning as not wanting to hand PII to the EU. (Which already *has* all your PII - duh?)
And it is scalding towards EU-based streamers like Pewdiepie NOT giving this coverage.

It is literally calling you out to FUCKING SIGN THE THING so you can secure the legal right to own the product you paid money for, because otherwise what is the point to buy it in the first place.

>>713983518
You don't seem to grasp that there is a very high chance that a pirate wouldn't have bought the game anyway. Also this >>713983102

>>713977732 (OP)
Why isn't there a thread on >>/vmg/ about this? 90% of the actual offenders are smartphone games.

Wouldn't the gacha sloppers salivate about the ability to preserve their games (and their $100-$1000+ "investments")? iirc there were historically plenty of mobile games with servers that just shut down and wiped hundreds if not thousands of dollars per player by rendering the games 100% unplayable.

>>713983765
PSN does matchmaking services and account login
that's it

therefore all games using these services, are not using dedicated servers, but instead going peer to-peer, which is what Dark Souls is doing and they did that to keep the game online, which works.

Meanwhile with Steam-slop that doesn't work, because Steam is garbage.
Cope PCigger

>>713983827
He did, you uninformed retard. That's why the first piratesoftware video on it is from 10 months ago. Ross explicitly avoided attention seeking behavior by engaging with that faggot back then, even though the drama would have boosted his channel. If boosting his channel would have been his motive he wouldn't have started this shit a month before the petition ends in an desperate attempt to save it. He could have milked that for a year.

>>713983807
>I wouldn't have boughted the game anyway
Good, so it's not a problem that it's locked behind Denuvo and you can't play it then.

Gacha players are not the same species as people that play other games. They're addicted to the process of unlocking characters, not actually owning anything they unlocked permanently.

>>713984075
So instead of making a council of sorts to actually achieve something, he just tried to boost his dead channel alone if this succeeded. Total redditor who's now getting all the attention and is getting troll shielded by other faggot ecelebs.

>>713983914
>immediately changes argument when he realizes its deadweight
God you're stupid
You can compare the drop in sales figures in sum along with something called an "average" which is how we figure out when averaging different things. Yes people are more likely to buy things during sales or during christmas and such. However by gathering a lot of datapoints you can smooth out the irregularities by comparing it from multiple sources and seeing how heavily it effects sales figures in the sum of all video games measured in the study thus deducing a general pattern. This is how statistics work. That's basic common sense shit and how we measure multiple datapoints
READ A FUCKING BOOK. ANY GODDAMN BOOK. You're fucking dense man.

Steam is garbage, but all games utilize dedicated servers, regardless of the protocols employed.

That is indeed a problem for the customer, but you can't even grasp something so simple like this.
It's impressive you even manage to write, with an IQ this low.

>>713979202
Because the ask is childishly unreasonable.

Without googling, name one single game that has been "killed" and you can’t play anymore

>>713984463
Kingdom Under Fire 2.

>>713983827
He is absolutely not seeking attention. He is maybe not the brightest and autistic, but he is not a grifter. He is one of the few losers making videos on the internet I can say that about.

>>713984463
https://stopkillinggames.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_game_list

>>713984247
I'm pretty sure the point is to make the games be playable offline after the servers shut down (viaba patch or whatever) or make the game possible being hosted via community servers,after the officials get killed.
But I know you are being disingenous on purpose

>>713984463
Shitty online only games like darkspore.

>>713984247
1. You can at least somewhat prevent that by exporting each player's data and having them import it when they start playing. Players could share their "saves" between each other, BUT read point 2:
2. The original company is not charging for anything anymore and they are not losing any money. So who cares? It's abandonware, money isn't being made.

>>713983403
>Italy

>>713984579

No merit or solutions, just validation and attention seeking.

>>713978702
Because TOS are not legally binding in the EU. This isn't america they simply don't matter there to begin with. Furthermore the EU has different laws regarding contracts making sure they can't be unfair to the consumer and has laws that give the consumer rights regarding his purchase, the availability of it and how the company has to support them. Did you know you are legally obliged to support software products with security patches for almost a decade there? There's a lot of other laws regarding digital products as well, making sure the company can't just take away access or include planned obsolescence.

You might not like it but that's the place the EU is. It's not america. Your TOS is worthless. They are already entitled by existing law to a lot of shit.

>>713984627
So why don’t you guys just reverse engineer the game instead of demanding extra labor from the devs?

>>713984652
Just patch it to work offline.
Polyphony did it with GTsport, or release the tools to male a server.
But idk really, I don't play online only games

>>713984086
>>713984416
And I even forgot to mention that Denuvo gets cracked several times in a few weeks, if not days. It's a problem almost exclusive for actual customers which rightfully are the ones that complain about it.

>>713984746
Online games are designed to need a server. It’s not as simple as “just patch it!”

You guys are essentially asking for the devs to refactor their client/server infrastructure at a time where they no longer have the revenue to pay someone to do that for them.

>>713984704
yeah

>>713984293
He got in contact with lawyers and people that know the terrain of EU law and how to get lawmakers to pay attention to the issue. The last 2 years of channel updates and streams were him and begging people to write him e-mails to guide him through the process since he recognizes that he's too uninformed on the topic to achieve anything on his own which is how the Stop Killing Games initiative came to be in the first place. The people that helped him are not e-celebs, they're experts in the field.

no one is falling for your bait.

>>713984863
Or they can just give people the servers they used to host their games.
>where they no longer have the revenue to pay someone to do that for them.
In that case they should declare bankruptcy and sell off their assets until they can. That's how it works when you are unable to meet your legal financial obligations.

>>713984942
>He got in contact with lawyers and people that know the terrain of EU law and how to get lawmakers to pay attention to the issue.

It depends on what game and what type of always online desu, some literally contain all the information on the disk and just check the company servers to let it play. Some contain parts of the game that are then tracked in the multiplayer aspects while others literally need the servers to function. Also not having an end of life plan is retarded and bad practice and business speaking of a company who most definitely shouldnt be running that service to begin with. Its highly unprofessional to just discontinue a service without at least something beyond "youre shit outta luck folks" and speaks of a lack of forethought.

Yeah- PSN DOES NOT HAVE THAT.

Good thing that source code is neither needed nor included in my proposal then.

>>713984741
Because reverse engineering a modern game is nearly infeasible. Even a decently sized team of experts with funding would need years if not decades.

What extra work would devs even have by providing their fucking compiled binaries and documentation? Why can't or shouldn't they be forced to take this into consideration from the beginning of the development? It won't be any extra work at all because it wouldbe part of your normal process.

Any multiplayer game made by indie devs in recent memory that's on steam uses peer to peer or community servers rather than a company hosted server you fucking mongolid. You're saying that a poor little indie dev would own a fucking server to host an entire fucking game platform on yet at the same time not be able to ever offer end of life access or somehow not be able to do so. You've constructed an entire scenario with an imaginary developer. Most indie devs wouldn't be shouldering the cost of a fucking server to begin with because they're expensive in the first place and rely on hosting tools via steam or peer 2 peer.

You're looking at it. And no, he hasn't been working for over a decade to solve the problem, but he has been reporting on it and featured games such as Darkspore and Battleforge

Objectively false

When this fucking shitty petition fails (and it will) all of you fucking commie bastards should get on your knees and apologize to thor

that's idiotic and shows how brain dead even the proposal is.

>>713986315
That's literally what im saying. It wouldnt be the dev's own server. That would be a steamworks issue.

they are not.
it's only common for Half-slop, but that's a shit game.

>>713986378
no, it doesn't.
Remember Wii online services shutting down?
That wasn't actually Wii online services, but a common multiplayer services commonly used on PC, and tons of PC shit games lost multiplayer and almost no one recreated their multiplayer code, instead the multiplayer was simply gone.

The furfag's problem is that he doesn't play the heel to the end, and bends the knee instead. Would be based otherwise since he produces so much seethe.

>>713985484
>Dark Souls on PC doesn't.
It doesn't because Bandai Namco is not using Steam's infrastructure.
They rolled their own. And then pulled its plug.

these threads are doing iron man numbers

>>713986413
> it was common practice from like the 90s to 2000s
Back when it was required for game devs to understand networking infrastructure. That isn’t required anymore

And only they do it. Ever ask yourself why?

You guys are asking for something that is non trivial and requires some good software engineering skills. This doesn’t come cheap.

>>713986498
The steam system is really easy to hack, which requires authenticated servers also requiring Steam services.

You’re asking for game devs to be required to buy into steams infra. That’s promoting monopoly.

>>713986484
Yeah, it is your problem. If you want to run the server, better get windows 2000. If the software is functional and a user gets an in, it's up to the user to meet the system requirements of the software to make it function. Even that would be better than just killing the game and leaving you with no functioning product that you paid money for.

>>713986418
>actually giving people documentation to make dead games not dead is good
So...what the fuck is your problem then? People wouldn't need this initiative if most devs weren't gigantic cunts that took your money and ran, intentionally publishing games that can die on you any day.

>>713985757
Honestly not surprised. They are always up to shit and trolling.

So devs have become less competent, and we should accept worse products than what we received before

But they aren't the only ones doing it at all

>>713986658
Josh would never hand over his stash, just like he keeps archives of all the zoosadist shit for himself.

>>713986550
from what i understand its probably retarded and calculates steam sales and then subtracts from the multiplied downloads from pirate bay minus profits as "lost sales"
>>713986617
you have a fifth grader's understanding of math

>>713986716
That’s using Microsoft.

So are you asking for all game devs to have to buy into Microsoft or valve server support?

>>713986806
> and we should accept worse products than what we received before
That’s the trade off for having more games to play. No one is forcing you to play the games that don’t provide the support you want.

>>713986726
that makes no sense, and you know it.
therefore the proposal is idiotic and only a foot in the door.
afterwards you will demand source code, you fucking commie.

>>713981092
based, that's why they're spamming these threads for their faggy petition so much

>>713986695
It's easily verifiable to check whether they use Steamworks networking. And they don't.

Deal with it, you piece of vaginal excrement.

>>713986978
Is piracy communism?

>>713985757
>>713986736
Dont fucking pile me with these retards.
I've been here dismissing shills since day 1. This shit will benefit us too because it will make piracy easier.
>>713986851
They allow both community and dedicated servers, and the latter are not using any company middlemen, retard.

>>713986978
>that makes no sense
That makes perfect sense.
>afterwards you will demand source code, you fucking commie.
Yes, I will also demand them to serve me dinner and shine my boots too, why don't I.

>>713986726
>So...what the fuck is your problem then?
you being commie slime.
>the games stop working
actually they don't, you fucking idiot.
the point of ScummVM is that old bugs are getting fixed and games can be played without fiddling around because modern OS don't properly work.

The games themselves work fine without problems on the computers that they were made for.

>>713986921
>That’s the trade off for having more games to play
That's a bad trade off, and more games doesn't mean better games
>No one is forcing you to play the games that don’t provide the support you want.
Because A), a game can be good even though it requires a central server and B), this practice will slowly spread to games I care about. Further, I don't like the idea of not owning something I buy, regardless of what media it is

>>713986721
that is not what i said at all. you in fact made an entirely new sentence. I said
"indies do not host their own servers and would most likely use steamworks. This would be a steamworks issue"
this implies that the burden therefore wouldnt be them pulling the plug but steam pulling the plug which means valve removing online functionality which would be a VALVE issue of them removing server support rather than the devs own fault as a third party removed functionality.
you instead somehow are implying that I want valve to personally host all indie game servers ever. Im going to beat you with a pipe wrench.

>>713987054
> and the latter are not using any company middlemen, retard.
Incorrect. They pay a license for the infrastructure that allows for this stuff.

>>713986484
Windows 2000 is not a problem. LOL i unironically have multiple copies of it.

>it's clearly the pirates!
Again, there is no factual basis for actually assessing "losses" due to piracy. Any inflated guesses by people who want there to be "losses" so they can push their shit even more is entirely worthless. As are you.
I bet you also think Concord failed because of le chud trolls or whatever, it's the same line of reasoning.

>>713987082
>comparing online functionality to a wrapper
You're legitimately retarded.

>>713979405
>Imagine being this dense
Legally they can't do that, the fact they do is only because no one has sued them and set a legal precedent that they shouldn't be able to steal you're money with no recourse.
If a game company bans you from their game, they should, at the very least, give back every single cent you spent in the game including all associated purchases and subscriptions.
This way all those permabans and trigger happy AIs would disappear from all games within a year since they would lose so much money they'd rather not ban everyone and their mother.

>>713987464
Anon. I don't believe that piracy hurts sales. I pulled these statistics because the estimation someone else made was way off and assumed piracy was crippling the video games economy and pointed out even people who agreed with him said it was only a 20% decrease in sales "at most".
You're attacking somebody who agrees with you

>>713987697

>>713987705
>ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical adventure and role-playing games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed! ScummVM is a complete rewrite of these games' executables and is not an emulator.

Functionally it is a wrapper in all but name.

>>713987882
>Functionally it is a wrapper
In reality it's all sorts of GAME ENGINES *rebuilt*, you fucking moron.
that's why cool stuff is possible in ScummVM, but isn't in shit like ShitBox. Like having new functionality which wasn't there. Or fixing 50 year old bugs. Or using game data to display more colors than the original GAME ENGINE displayed.

>>713988036
And? The games covered by this were never in danger of dying. I don't see why you brought this up in the first place.

>>713987905
These people weren't going to buy the game to begin with. You equate physical merchandise to digital goods. That's like saying watching a letsplay of a Virtual Novel or a walkthrough of a ride/a theme park is equivalent of a lost sale. You are thinking with a 20th century brain but the digital age is simply different. If you think piracy is hurting video games then you must also think that anybody who watches a lets play on line is also functionally stealing money from the dev.
>>713987917
lol its all good.

we should promote it and publish it in every social media available

>>713988243

Denuvo is supposed to lock these non-payers out, which is a good thing.
So no harm done then and Denuvo can stay and in fact should get expanded, just like Valve proposes.
