>fuck
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?

As a vidya developer I'm not going to sign it. Whoever makes the game should be able to do with it as they damned please. The standard nowadays is online server-based games and those are expensive to maintain.

how many of you are from the EU and what did you do to get some votes

>>714099526
So imagine you go and buy a product, its yours to keep. Simple idea. You own that product until it stops working, you get a warranty within a certain period, it works within the confines of whatever you use it with (you bought the American Unit, so it works on 110 volts and within certain operating temperatures).

Now let's move it over to services. You buy a service to get your hair cut, you're not subscribing to a haircut service, so you know it's not unlimited, but when you check your appointment time, you can tell that the "service" lasts 30 minutes, you are paying for your hair to be cut for 30 minutes. You know exactly what you are paying and when that service will end, if it does.

Now for video games, this is the problem. When you buy that online game, you do not know when service ends (like for a multiplayer component of a single player game, or even authenticating with a server just to play the single-player portion - like DRM). This is actually a grey area in EU law and is potentially illegal for a dev to make you sign a EULA/Contract with this inside of it. Furthermore, even if you wanted to, you can't even mod the game to play it yourself because either the publisher will go after you, or reverse engineering from your side with your resources is a herculean task. This wouldn't apply to subscription games per say. Because your license does have an end date, it's when you stop paying money.

Stop Killing Games is designed to get all future games (after the law itself is passed, which will be debated to a huge extent) to allow the user to have access to the game in some way and essentially have an end-of-life plan. No, the developer doesn't have to host the files themselves; they just need to work with middleware companies ahead of time so they can redistribute the game in some kind of playable state to the players. Could be a crack for the DRM, could be server binaries without the copyright middleware, etc.

What's wrong with making Ubisoft spend more money? Why are you defending the multi billion dollar corporation?

>>714100012

Yes we better give up any civil rights or basic human rights ability that should be guaranteed to the government like clean drinking water evil to not have glass in our Parks or anything that could get in the way of giving more profits to Giant corporations or holding them accountable to the corporations themselves. Especially things such as our military.

Yeah, cuz it's not like we had an entire generation of games like TF2, Halo PC, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Age of Empires 2, that all had a LAN mode and player-hosted servers that can just work and play the game.

Don't you have an Uber shift to work, Ranjeet?

>>714100212
Why do you wnat to correct theor mistakes instead of moving on abd let them go burn in a fire? is assassin's creed so precioua to you? It's not about ubisoft spending more or less, it's about protecting smaller companies from higher entry costs and offer alternatives.

But yes, let's regulate everything, next you're going to see videogames lobbies in the government taking public money to save videogames. Statists are always useful idiots.

oh you're planning on making a live service game? what's your concept

>>714100535
You're a gorilla monkey nigger. Every now and then we get a fucking gem of a multiplayer game like Titanfall 1 or 2 that I WANT to keep playing after it gets shut down. Titanfall 1 was shut down cuz of hackers, if the community hosted it, it would be fine. TF2 community-ran servers were able to survive the bots because they have more hands-on moderation and actually give a shit.

>It's about protecting smaller companies from higher entry costs and offer alternatives.

You are not a developer, this is not a big ask, it was doable in 2006, there will be middleware that shows up when this passes that will make this easier.

At this point I'm genuinely wondering if corpos are running a disinformation campaign or if this place has just become that psyoped.

>>714100297
both are videogame related
even if GG was a lot more retarded and molded into culturewar fuel instead of dunking on sites like ign

this will also have a more tangeable effect without distractions unlike the eventually merely cultural one

You can tell this is a zoomer or gen alpha because they can't imagine a world without live service games. Community moderated servers is how games worked since the advent of online gaming.

>>714100012
This isn't just about videogames, anon.
This is about anything using a 'license' and extends to lunacy like 'smart' fridges as well. And forgive me, but I'd rather have a fridge that can keep running for 10+ years on end than have a manufacturer at some arbitrary point in time flip their "we need more moneyz" remote killswitch trashing my 'smart' fridge by pulling the server support and leaving me to buy a new one.

And if you think that's not quite dystopian enough, I've got two words for you: medical implants.

If the movement is failing anyway, why are you arguing so ardently against it?

>>714100159
Handled outreach among friends, family and coworkers.
Presented the arguments neutrally and told them to make up their mind.
Most told me this was a total no-brainer and signed the initiative within the hour of reading up on it. (I had one joker in my friend group who was going to hold out to the last day, because he liked the idea of potentially being that one unsung gate-closer; the final one to push the signatories over the threshold.)

>>714099375
This won't work anymore, anon. Right wingers support SKG to shit on a gay furry. Left wingers support SKG to shit on a corpo shill. G-d has blessed the mold man with the most ridiculous enemy possible.

if you don't like the idea of games having a limited lifetime, then don't buy those games. if there's enough pushback that it affects bottom lines, companies will implement end-of-life plans organically to offset that.

>but voting with my wallet isn't working because a lot more people are voting the other way!
have you considered that being outvoted in this instance is an indirect manifestation of the will of the customers? there's obviously a market for people playing only the latest games. you're just not the target audience for those games.
you'll still have your own market for singleplayer and even dedicated server multiplayer games that your grandchildren can cherish.
But you feel the need to bring the fun police down on everyone else and spinning it as some revolutionary action.

>>714101254
>So you already can't develop a game without government interference?
Incorrect. You are too stupid to even pretend to be stupid properly.

How is this not begging?

>>714101519
So you DON'T pay taxes?

Have someone come up with a better line, because you obviously can't.

>>714100535
>dude smaller companies are trying to make mega MMO slop
No most multiplayer genres have this issue solved for decades. Most multiplayer games can be hosted on a community server very easily. If people can host private WOW lobbies most games have no excuse

>>714101176
Hey retard, it's literally part of EU law ALREADY that you HAVE TO disclose when the service ends (subscription games DO tell you that).

All this petition is doing is asking for verification and also asking asking to protect games. At the very least, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN END DATE PRINTED ON THE BOX. THAT is EU law. Go vote for different lawmakers if you want it changed. Why didn't you complain about the politicians before you trend-chasing zoomer retard nigger brain?

And both are retarded and will increase state influence over everything to goon a little more.

>Still waiting for that rebuttal.
Name dropping old games that were a product of the network infrastructure of the era isn't much of an argument, and doesn't require a rebuttal.

People are far too fucking stupid and apathetic nowadays to actually care about the content they consume. Most people would rather goon to AI-generated pictures of Jenna Ortega than anything else. These people are being treated like cattle, and it's our job to fight for the rights of the consumer, even if they're too mindbroken to think that they need to be saved.

>>714101621
They did already tell you that it might end. And you already knew that anyways. This whole movement is based around a dead game with no players that potential pedophiles like Ross bought only after the game announced it was shutting down. It has always been a solution in search of a problem.

Aka altering people's right to ownership. The reason licences exist is to make a distinction between between owning a product of a property.

Why do you pretend to care so much about the need to put a warning sticker on a game that it might not be playable a thousand years from now?

>we're deciding on turning mm off
>but here is a lobby mode, simply port forward and you can have other people connect to it and play the game
that would be impossible for modern games, however, as the jeet codemonkeys are incapable of this very simple feat which used to be the norm back in the 00s

I somewhat agree, but when people come for one of the few things I truly enjoy i'm gonna try and fight back.

In an ideal world, every game should have the potential to live on like doom and quake did if the interest is there. I genuinely wish such a blissful utopia upon the zoomoids.

The positives are overwhelming, the negatives are that a few live service games made by a fraction of the95 percent of devs making live service games RIGHT NOW, might not survive.

If a good game comes out, gets support for 5 years, then gets shut down, I can still potentially play that game, with community servers that ban bots, cheaters, etc, and they will have free time to make mod tools instead of just getting the game playable to add more content. I want to play good games forever, I don't want to keep playing the newest slop designed to waste my time and sanity.

Good example is Titanfall 2 Northstar. They are STILL trying to get that game fully working but it's missing content from the base game. Now Titanfall 2 isn't gone yet, but TItanfall 1 is. So if I wanna play Titanfall 1 maps/content (which I do) I have to wait for this community to do all of that, which is going to take years because they are porting Titanfall 1's content to 2 because that's the most logical thing to do at this point. If this law was already in effect I could hop on right now and fucking play it.

During the previous threads americans, shills and other “people” failed to provide comprehensive answers the following questions:
1. Why is it bad to force government you elected to represent your interests
2. Why is it bad to have more consumer rights and better protection for them
3. Why should an average person read hundreds of pages of agreement he gets AFTER the purchase and gamble on his knowledge of exact laws governing this and perfect understanding of all the edge cases of the phrasing used instead of expecting good service by default?
4. Who except kike publishers will benefit from this initiative NOT passing?
Food analogies will not be accepted as an answer.

Congrats. You picked possibly the worst example possible that is NOT a food analogy.

Property rental contracts in most EU states require a fixed term and renew automatically unless suitably advance notice is given that the tenant is going to be evicted at the end of the rent term. Many states also feature a form of tenure, where the longer someone has rented the same property the harder it becomes to not renew their term and allow them to stay on, and increasingly stronger evidence of the need to evict the tenant has to be provided through a court.

>>714103029
It hasn't taken effect yet but you're just arguing worst case scenario when it's literally been the opposite:

Austrailia - Got Valve to issue refunds globally

>>714103114
See this for more.

If you wanna talk innovation and stifling, you can make an argument when it happens. Games are getting destroyed RIGHT NOW. I am done arguing endlessly with zero solutions. If you have a fucking solution, make your own petition. You don't care anyway about video games so what does it fucking matter?

I also see developers saying they would rather this go into effect because their life's work won't be destroyed and left in an unplayable state, and they want their bosses to be forced to implement this.

I work for a massive publisher.

You idiots won't change a thing. The attitude inside a massive publisher is "yeah, the games suck and the microtransactions suck, but they pay the bills". Like that's literally what is said in our massive meetings and even the lowest totem pole workers know that's how it is. We know the games suck, but hey pay the bills.

It is unfortunate that I work for a company that takes advantage of people that can't control their finances, but I haven't found a new job yet that has similar pay or benefits.

You won't change shit with some stupid twitter campaign.

PEOPLE. KEEP. BUYING. MICROTRANSACTIONS.

PEOPLE KEEP PAYING $120 TO PLAY GAMES 3. DAYS. EARLY.

You won't change anything. PEOPLE KEEP BUYING THIS GARBAGE.

Unless you can educate people on finances so they stop buying $10 loot boxes every single paycheck, then NOTHING. WILL. CHANGE. IDIOTS SHOVEL MONEY INTO OUR POCKETS AND WE ALL HATE THE GAMES WE MAKE BUT YOU MONKEYS KEEP BUYING THIS SHIT AND PAYING OUR BILLS.

>>714103257
The issue is that it is feasible, usually the platforms that take shit away after you bought it do it because they are designed to validate info to a server on top of launching the game to get you in.
I know you're trying your absolute best to be contrarian here, to the point of having to go full caps, but if developers didn't do shitty things like needing to validate your login/game session with a server or patch it out when they are going to EoL a game + give you an installer of the game, then there's no issue at that point.
