the vast majority of games still work

the latter case is what the initiative is seeking to prevent from happening in the future

They still will though, because if it's a shit game, no one plays it. If it's good and they killed it too early, the companies will fucking seethe when the communities fix it and show how to do it "right". How many times have games been "fixed" by modders?

>>714056484
>We don't care
They can't say "don't care", they are legally obligated to come up with legislation to solve the issue. An EUCI has the same legislative power as the EU Parliament, it cannot just be dismissed as frivolous.
It is entirely possible they will come to a less than favorable conclusion but they have to come to a conclusion.

I support the initiative but how do they determine if a game company is compliant if it passes? Say a developer says they're doing it and have plan, but when the game reaches the end of its lifespan, they just shut it down anyway leaving it unplayable. What happens next?

No I will not sign the petition. Petitions are gay, you just want the government to force other people to do your bidding.

SO LONG JUDAS

>>714055405
So many devs wants their game to be playable forever. Like who wouldn't want their work of art and creativity to be experienced and appreciated for the rest of time?
It's publisher and suit greed every single time.

>>714056683
Concord would still die and get shut down, customers would just still be able to play it despite that if they really wanted to

>>714057105
>Force developers to keep every game playable for free
It doesn't do this. Developers and publishers would be free to shut the official servers down, they'd just have to release a build, or tools or just some documentation that still allows people to play the game if they want without the dev's servers

>>714057325

Meanwhile internet archive will go offline at the end of the year because people like the OP are such tremendous cocksuckers that they have no issue whoring themselves out for people like Ross and Karl Jobst. The stupid faggot managed to get 500k that could had been used to save actual videogames all because zoomers are parasitic sycophantic fanboys.

Similarly SKG is taking away attention from the internet archive, you people are fucking cancer.

God forbid consumers be allowed to keep using the things they buy. Think about all the people who refuse to play new games or sequels because they're just worse. Taking away the old thing and forcing them to the new thing would be really convenient.(For publishers)

>>714057485
>Similarly SKG is taking away attention from the internet archive, you people are fucking cancer.
Projection much? I care about that just as much, hence why I've started to download whatever I can onto my NAS setup. What the fuck are you doing but whining?

>>714057410
I'm not saying to go do terrorism, just start a company and make a game. See how it works out before you try to enslave companies to your will. There's people that need that company to feed their kids.

>We can tax a little, just to feed the poorest of us!
Is a thought more than a century ago, look how the fed reserve turned out.

>>714057368
im pretty sure most devs now are stuck and a hard place considering if they speak out about this they may as well get blacklisted from 90% of publishers in the industry, same for journos.
You can bet your ass that when the initiative hits 90% signatures you'll see some hitpiece from Kotaku or Polygon
the only big devs that spoke out in support of the movement are CPDR and Running with Sciccors, wich makes sense because they have no publisher to answer to

>>714057485
See what annoys me about post like this is that say SKGs fails. And people do move to supporting IA(since people can't do both obviously) this same argument will be used against supporting IA. And it's just an unless cycle of letting efforts fail while "people" who have your best interests in mind goad you to next endangered thing.

>>714057676
Some say it's because of his ties to a publishing company that published a live service game (The devs themselves are pro-SKG)
Some say it's because of his ties to Blizzard.
I say it's because he made an assumption, that assumption was proven wrong and like the narcissist he is he doubled down instead of admitting he got things wrong.

>>714057614
Spacker take, you're basically saying that a company having to take maybe a couple of weeks of work to put together an end of life plan so people can still play the games that they paid for after they shit the bed is going to bankrupt the poor devs as if that makes a difference.

>>714056683
Dunno why people keep bringing up Concord. It's kind of a special case because Sony gave everyone full refunds so it's hard to argue there's even anything anti-consumer going on there.

>>714057708
*a rock and a hard place

>>714056809
It depends on the language of the final law being passed, if EU lawmakers make a law at all

The initiative as it's worded now is somewhat in depth, but it is also still vague to a degree precisely because the people making it aren't lawyers and EU lawmakers revising things and consulting with both consumers and industry groups and then deciding how things should be worded is a normal part of the process.

But what ambiguity that does exist would likely be in terms of which games the regulations apply to (EX: F2P games or games which are subscriptions would likely not be covered or only in some situations, plus you have to define what even counts as a "Video Game"), as well as what counts as being "playable" (EX: in a heavily MP only game, would the devs releasing a build or code to permit a player to load into a map alone, but not actually play with other people, count as sufficiently playable?), not "what happens if the devs say they'll do it but don't end up doing anything", that pretty clearly would be a violation and would likely result in them being fined

>>714057708
I know they can't speak out. That's what sucks the most about this and no matter how much you hate commieshit etc. but you gotta admit that it's kinda fucked up that the developers themselves have to be scared to talk about stuff that would make their products last longer and be better for customers, all because the rich will punish them for it. It's fucked up no matter how you look at it. Unless someone unironically thinks that publishers should have more power over the work that developers do in which case fine I guess that is one hill to die on. Just kinda against basic commerce at this point.
We can just hope that people comes to their senses and signs it. The amount of shills and hired trolls against this is fucking amazing.

Streisand effect is real. Keep pushing back bootlickers, you will only cause your own demise.

You fuckers know what's coming if you vote for this petition right? You know the consequences of inviting the government to intervene in the video games, knowing full well and probably lived through the 90s to 2000s where it was full of paranoid and delusional old men trying to dictate the rules and censor the fuck out of everything right? This is going to be even worse than that because now you have those same old men who now see the monetary incentive to fuck shit up and you fuckers are straight up kicking and screaming to come save you.

This won't be the government salvation you guys are hoping for, this won't even be the corpo vs government clash either, this will come entirely at your expense. They WILL fuck your shit up, anyone that has been around long enough knows not to trust the government and it's appalling to me that none of you can see Ross as the glowie that he clearly is. Why else would he go to such lengths to push this shit and throw on a full mask under the guise of caring for destroyed games? Why else has there been such a massive outbreak of supposed ecelebs throwing their weight into this all of the sudden when the natural response was to veer as far away as possible from this clear glowie psy op? They know now that they can get some headway and they've been going into overdrive to push for this and you idiots are falling for it.

If there's any among you that still possesses a brain, I implore you to not sign this shit. Don't give it attention, don't give it any time of day. This shit has so many malicious layers to it that it would be wise to not interact with it at all, and to say nothing on the long term ramifications against the average consciousness should it go through. Do you really believe that you aren't throwing away your personal information for the government to "leak away" in a year's time when this is over?

>>714057676
he interpreted it incorrectly, made his opinion publicly known on stream and now he can never, ever admit he was wrong because he is THE example of a narcissist
i honestly don't think he's intelligent or conniving enough to care about his investments in live-service games because he would then also know this initiative will take many years to come to fruition in law
he's just dumb, didn't get it, did what he thought was "siding with developers" because he mistakenly thinks he is one and now can never, ever change his stance because that would mean admitting he was wrong (which he never is, about anything)

Oh no, the government will interfere with video games. They definitely haven't been doing that for years now. We should stop the initiative now. It'd be terrible if the government were pushed to support to consumer instead of fucking them over for once.

>>714055352

>>714058652
>vidya business practices aren't vidya related
nice bait

Now, tell me if there is already something like this that exists, how would consoles comply? They rely on a central online service that is the arbiter of how traffic is networked, which means unless if Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are compelled to have their services be able to route to private servers, consoles by design wouldn't comply. I don't care since I'm a PC player, but it is an interesting question regardless.

>>714058737
It wouldn't apply because those aren't games

>>714057745

I agree with you, he probably misinterpreted what the movement and he can't fucking read, so when he was proven wrong, he doubled down because god forbid you admit you misunderstood it.
It's even more frustrating when he actively talked shit about Ross and wasn't even willing to talk to him about it.
And as far as I'm aware, most devs seem to be fine with this. They spent a lot of time on these games and probably don't want to see it needlessly taken out.

>>714058737
It's not retroactive. In the future they'd just have to patch the console to not require it anymore at end of life I'd say.

>>714058780
Yeah but they affect how games can be played.

>>714058795
That makes sense. Bring one of the benefits of PC to consoles, fuck yeah.

>>714058473
>It'd be terrible if the government were pushed to support to consumer instead of fucking them over for once

>how would consoles comply?

>>714058320
What?
SKG is retarded no matter how you slice it, anyone involved is tech illiterate and are only doing this because a youtuber said so.
You are NPC as fuck.
Meanwhile you do not support genuine efforts at game preservation, none of which involve Ross.
This is a gayer gamergate, eceleb drama that is not accomplishing anything.

My problem with SKG, aside cocksuckers like you who deserve to have your eyes gouged, is that Ross is really a dumb person.
I would expect that after a year he would have a more solid layout, instead SKG as Ross lays it out is just a wishlist.
>Hey does not this interfere with ip protection laws? What will you do at this stage?
>NOH BECAUSE i SAID SO IN *donkey noises
His understanding of the law is pitiful and you follow him, have you ever considered that your leader might be wrong?
At this point in time not only this gay shit has a long way to go before it is taken seriously, you have not come across any opposition, it is just ecelebs arguing.
For example, most people here care at some degree but disagree in the way it is shaped or the framework that is being used but not the idea on itself.
Check it, the definition used to refer to digital media in this case is being taken from a lawsuit against Nintendo in Italy but that definition is tenuous and you are affecting about a dozen different non-related industries if Ross applies SKG plans as it is laid.
But you are such a fucking ignorant cocksucker that any attempts for real conversation are a waste of time.

Again, I hate you personally, I want you to know I would like to punch your lights out but yeah I would like to have some sort of insurance for games in which I spent $300 in case they go offline and what is funny is that Ross is such a retard he believes himself above the Minecraft and Fortnite audience, the BIGGEST SUPPORTERS his cause could have. Seriously, fuck him.
I would like to see someone who is not a fraud hack like Ross take a stab at this.

Minecraft already doesn't have this issue, anon. It's one of the most SKG compliant games out there, with the user being able to manually download and forever store previous versions of both the game and server to run as they please.

Regulations are allowed to compel companies to provide documentation all the time though, see right to repair laws that force manuals and repair guides, which are technically IP due to being works that the companies had to write

There's no specific grand ultra fundamental law that says your IP rights trump your ability to comply with regulations, other laws, etc.

Plus, it doesn't specifically even need to be binaries. A software developer who specifically has done work with servers and IT talks about this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAVNxAVal1U&t=10s

Just try and see if you can find one friend or colleague or family member to sign today. I got around 6 signatures yesterday and at least one person is going to suggest it to his colleague/friend group.

Today I'm pretty sure I can find a colleague in the office who'd be up for it

You fuckers know what's coming if you vote for this petition right? You know the consequences of inviting the government to intervene in the video games, knowing full well and probably lived through the 90s to 2000s where it was full of paranoid and delusional old men trying to dictate the rules and censor the fuck out of everything right? This is going to be even worse than that because now you have those same old men who now see the monetary incentive to fuck shit up and you fuckers are straight up kicking and screaming to come save you.

This won't be the government salvation you guys are hoping for, this won't even be the corpo vs government clash either, this will come entirely at your expense. They WILL fuck your shit up, anyone that has been around long enough knows not to trust the government and it's appalling to me that none of you can see Ross as the glowie that he clearly is. Why else would he go to such lengths to push this shit and throw on a full mask under the guise of caring for destroyed games? Why else has there been such a massive outbreak of supposed ecelebs throwing their weight into this all of the sudden when the natural response was to veer as far away as possible from this clear glowie psy op? They know now that they can get some headway and they've been going into overdrive to push for this and you idiots are falling for it.

If there's any among you that still possesses a brain, I implore you to not sign this shit. Don't give it attention, don't give it any time of day. This shit has so many malicious layers to it that it would be wise to not interact with it at all, and to say nothing on the long term ramifications against the average consciousness should it go through. Do you really believe that you aren't throwing away your personal information for the government to "leak away" in a year's time when this is over?

It's not a zero-sum game; both of these can gain the same amount of attention, at the same time.

But yeah, I feel you. Personally I don't understand why there weren't bigger protests against COVID19 tyranny. Even most of the "smart" people I know just bent the knee. So why does something as silly as videogames now suddenly get people up in arms? It doesn't make sense.

it was never about thor. It is extremly hard to find 1 million gamers for one cause on one continent. When a game suprasses 1 million sales on the whole world its considered success, getting 1 million signatures from just EU is impossible.

No, the devs would be allowed to shut their games down whenever. It's just so if/when they do, they have to provide builds that work offline, or even just tools or documentation so the community can make the games function again via private servers

This is not exactly true. Since this initiative is a real EU govenment mechanism only gamers that are 18+ and have their EU id can participate. This automatically excludes a ton of zoomer gamers and makes this harder. I am sure that there are plenty of 16 and 17 yearolds that would love to participate after watching a youtube video/tictox about this videogame initiative but they simply can't cus they are still underage.

>>714060871
as dissapointing as that is were still making more than double what we need to make in a day for it to pass in time. If it keeps steady at this level itll reach a mil by the 14th. As long as the number stays above the minimum on the site we will still make it, and every day we hit above that minimum it gets smaller. The momentum from the last few days has dropped the minimum from about 20k to 11k itll probably be under 10k before momentum drops off.

>>714061759
It would be one of the compliance criteria if no other can be granted. The goals range.
>best case scenario: companies give people server binaries when they sunset the game that requires online to function
>worst case scenario: companies just include an expiration date on the game box for any game they make and develop concrete timescales for their products
Obviously the faggotsoftware cannot do the former, since his game isn't even finished and he most likely will stop working on it any day, so he at least could give people the advance notice of it being shut down so that gullible suckers wouldn't spend money on it.

You would think so, but the man had a large amount of public support and even the response with which he banned the writer of that review showscases his attempts at manipulating public perception. His comment on the DRM in particular, where he "denies" it being DRM, would look like an expert technical rebuttal to a layman, when in reality he contradicts himself. And his followup statement where he describes the process of him "helping young people" is particularly concerning given that he had a history of soliciting a 16 year old. Fucker just can't help himself.

Unlikely, they will simply implement end of lifecycle options for dedicated servers or singleplayer functionality. It will unironically cost them pennies to do it if they plan it from the start. They are still going to keep making GaaS and always online videogames even if this passes and produces a law but those games will no longed die on the videogame publisher's whim.

No, it doesn't require relinquishing any IP rights to the game or it's code, nor does it require providing source code

For some games, it could litterally be as simple as just enabling P2P connections or LAN play, or just some documentations that help people make private servers/server emulators easier even if you're not providing them with binaries or anything

Anon, there is not enough time to play all the videogames. Some of those dead games were worthy of being preserved and not killed. They might not have had people play them when they came out but that does not mean that people in the future wouldn't want to play them.

>Developers only shut down games that nobody is playing in the first place
That's not true. Servers get shut down once they are no longer deemed profitable enough. There's ALWAYS someone playing. But it depends on the company and the game, if it makes sense to keep the servers running for only 1000 players or 100 players.

Another reason for shutdowns is competition against a newer product. Companies can force players to buy/play a newer game that they are offering. Kind of like how Overwatch just suddenly turned into "Overwatch 2", without any legacy servers or support for the original game.

There is nothing wrong with buying a game ticket (pic related).
However, if I buy a game ticket and the game stops working in the middle of my ticket time I'm going to be mad.

>>714060889

How is a game that you pay for access to for any amount of time different to buying a movie ticket?

It can happen the opposite. The more we reach the quota, the less danger people feel, the less they will vote because they don't feel they are going to make a difference.
Also, it's normal that the votes per day slightly decrease if there is no one important is talking about this.

Of course, we need to keep voting to counter the possible invalid votes, so out vote always matters, even after reaching the quota.

Threadly reminder that posts like these are laughably contrary to normal posting patterns of users on this site and are VERY obviously coming from a hired external source.

The question is where?
We all know that several mobile games, AI companies and more pay people to shill here and pay the mods/site owner to allow it to happen BUT typically those posters at a glance are less hostile and more organic, employing a range of tactics from smut posting to banter/trolling to get people engaged with their product.

The poster(s) in these threads has been spamming the same points without even attempting to engage with any argument and believes they can "win" by simply repeating a lie until people honestly believe it comes from a valid and establish branch of thought as opposed to just being the mindlessly repeated drivel it is.
I think its either a poorly made/prompted bot or a laughably cheap indian/third worlder that is so uninterested in doing a good job they're just posting words and making posts for a quota with no remote interest in real success.
Thank about it, gacha posts and Dall-E threads at least try to blend in more in posting style so they must come from a higher source but the retard here does nothing but spam "COMMIE!!" and then insist the initiative means devs have to pay for servers forever when its just about releasing server side code so the game is hostable by other people.

>>714064538

>>714064070
No, retard. Companies have expectations of profit. They don't keep servers up, if a game is just struggling by. And that's the reason why pirate servers flourish: the players exist, but the company doesn't care enough to cater to them.

if this was such a big deal why didn't Ross make a fuss about it when the game came out? If people clamored for dedicated servers when The Crew had just come out and had lots of players, Ubisoft might have relented.

It would not affect the existing ones. The future ones will have to find ways to make them playable after they shut them down and terminate support. Either helping the community develop server hosting, or giving access to their own in house tools.

I hope mods report that fucker to authorities

>>714064945
maybe some of them make a public statement about when the service is planned to end. maybe some of them distribute tools for users to make a server emulator. maybe some of them go the Megaman X DiVE route and release a buy-to-play offline version.

There are two separate altchans that have banned israel IPs because they were the majority of sources that were spamming 'p.
So either a dedicated 'p spammer is using moshe IPs to falseflag (big doubt, getting residential IPs from a limited location is extremely costy and barely viable) or da joos really don't give much of a shit of some bignose spamming imageboards with vile shit.
Personally my experience has been that 90% of the 'p spam comes from brazil but I didn't run an imageboard and instead ran a pomf clone so probably not the same ordeal.

His name is Jason Hall. Thor is just his middle name that his dad gave him as a joke because he was a huge nerd.

It is a simple solution for 9/10 games. LAN capabilities and/or server code should be enough for the vast majority of games.

I agree. But i also shop only from GOG and put my money where my mouth is.

The literal definition of "could" is that it wouldn't be in all instances you dumbass

>>714066540
if I buy a product with a lockl on it, i'm allowed to break the lock. But when it's digital, I can't because reasons. That's stupid

>>714066657
Games used to support LAN play, official server hosting(through 3rd parties), self-hosting dedicated servers, modding, etc.

Stop trying to make it seem like it would be some crazy undertaking to make online games that could easily be converted to comply with these proposed regulations with a simple patch at the end of the game's life.

>>714066778
How is it even possible to make fake signatures? Don't you have to give an ID?

>>714059629
Maybe it could have been retroactive, but that would make things way more complicated and increase pushback a lot. I think it's the right compromise to strike.

>>714066843
He is obviously trolling.

>>714066843
you play with ID numbers.

The funniest thing to me is how all of these corporate bootlickers insist on it being against the law, but 1. they can't name any and 2. we are literally trying to change the law, so why would that matter?

le sigh

Ignore the trolls and bootlickers for a second

Let's say this passes and the lawmakers actually make it a law. Do you think publishers would be more likely to make offline builds of existing games too that wouldn't be technically covered due to already being made and the law not being retroactive, since at that point they have to do it for future games anyways?

BUT WHAT IF THERE IS AN MMO THAT NEEDS SPECIFICALLY CRAFTED SERVER BLADES FROM A MINERAL THAT CAN ONLY BE OBTAINED IN TIBET, WITH AN OPERATING SYSTEM THAT WAS CREATED JUST FOR THAT MMO IN A LANGUAGE MODEL THAT IS PROVIDED BY A 3RD PARTY AND IS BEHIND 275635 LICENCES. HOW ARE POOR DEVELOPERS SUPPOSED TO ENSURE SKG COMMUNIST DEMANDS ARE MET IN THAT TOTALLY NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCE, HUH? FUCK YOU.

>>714067107
It could happen if the games are still being sold and updated with DLC/Expansions.

>>714067107
I think they would cry and scream and shid their bants. Then use lawyers to try to find any way they can to avoid following the law fully, like they always do, if they can avoid it.

>>714059620

(You) don't own shit. We already abolished private property.

>>714067189
MY ENTIRE ASS, THE WHOLE THING

>>714059620
how can you ban people who say no no words in multiplayer games if they can just move to a different dedicated server?

>>714067107
>more likely to make offline builds of existing games too that wouldn't be technically covered
No.

It's a pain in the ass to refactor your entire architecture if it's already designed to work exclusively with your server and services.

Even providing server binaries would force them to go through the code and clean up anything non-necessary or anything that could be used to find exploits in their future games.

Their only option would be providing documentation on how to create your own server, but even that could be too expensive (as in, take up too much development time) because many legacy projects often don't even have a proper internal dev documentation.

>>714066786
>he literal definition of "could" is that it wouldn't be in all instances
that's why it is an Occam's razor fallacy. "this is fine when this could be done, but it won't be every case" you're essentially bringing in a law to penalize for a victimless "crime" which doesn't have a solution other than indentures servitude.

but enough about communism, lets talk about skg

>>714060005
This is a pretty shit bingo. I havent heard the indie, private server or sleazy argument since last year and theres no mention of keeping the servers forever there. Also the IP slot appears twice.

>>714062661
If some would ever try that, the EU court would fuck them up.
Requiring a secondary purchase in order to regain access to an already purchased product from the same seller would go against so many EU laws that the jews at Frankfurt central bank would throw a party.

>>714067213
Or they could see it as a way to promote their game. Being the first to adopt a ''pro consumers stance'' is pretty much free marketing.

>>714067816
Forgot the pic

>maybe if we act even more snarky and double down on the shitlib ranting, we can rustle up some support from those who were on the fence?

rossissies, how do we cope with this?

Thanks for the endorsement!

SKG is not retroactive, so that's not going to be a problem.

>jesus christ you're truly deranged

>>714068253
Yuh, businesses should be allowed to put dangerous chemicals and poisons in your food. Regulations are inhumane. Think of the poor corporations!

>>714068253
Yes. Do you think China could have become the economic powerhouse it is today if they had OSHA-compliant regulations in place?

>>714068337
it's actually hilarious that even the normies on the skg subreddit get extremely hostile whenever someone pops in to ask if it's fair to make devs support games forever

>>714067494
>victimless "crime"
The victim obviously is whoever that buys something that is then destroyed to prevent him from using it

The solution is to not do it. What you are describing is just a reaction to a strawman.

>>714066701
Can you download all games AND patches through the browser or do you have to install their launcher to update games?

>Can you download all games AND patches through the browser
Yes. I have 200 games on GoG and I've never installed or even seen their official launcher. You just download game installers.

>>714068814
Not that anon, but usually yes.

>>714068814
The launcher didn't exist for a long time

>>714068814

>>714068814
The launcher is optional(i use it for new games that are janky and have daily patches). You can download all from the browser.

>>714068886
>contract
Not in the EU. If you are in the US, my condolences.

>>714067904
SKG itself is not going to revive it, but Cliff Bleszinski's already been trying to revive it anyway or at the very least get ahold of the IP again from the publisher for preservation. Not that a single soul in the world wants it.

The way you are thinking is not much different from a flat earther.

people just to not play, nor give money to live service.
And boycott and trash live service in general.
So they stop making games like that.
