Stop killing threads

>>714110601 (OP)
based

have the jannies given a statement on their discord server why they're having an absolute meltdown over these threads? is this not video game related?

>>714110653
why are jannies anti video games anyway?
imagine being janny of vidya board and hating video games this much

The mask is off. This movement is reddit. It is memes.

hey ur bot broke buddy

>>714110837
vidya butts spammer is also a literal tranny

>>714110756
SKG is more vidya than all the LOL and bait threads that waste 80% of the board space.

>>714110887
So? Who cares if he wants to cut off his dick.
He annoys the mods and that makes his existence a-okay to me.

>>714110837
Why aren't they posting vidya butts instead? That's a way better thing to spam.

No amount of deleted threads will stop the SKG

>>714110887
the real vidyabutts retired a while back

>>714110906
You don't even discuss games in these threads and just rant about e-celebs

>>714110837
vidyabutts is unironically a fucking hero though. People don't know the full story of why he does the shit he does.

>>714110950
>68%
It’s already stopped lol

>>714111002
>STOP THE COUNT

>>714110991
Why does he do it? I don't pay attention to gacha shit.

I am on the jannie with this one. You are not discussing games, but eceleb shit. Fuck off somewhere else.

>>714110979
source?

>>714110979
are you talking about the april fools post

>>714110871
I'm not a bot and only 1 post is mine the picture is just really fucking funny to me idc. Tranitors should probably filter this thread for the day CP being spammed isn't a good look for advertising. The banana sybau thor is the best thing to come out of these though ngl

>>714111002
30k today nigger

>>714111002
We went down 7 hours within 40 minutes.

30k signatures and another hour to go.

30k now

>>714110718
>why are jannies anti video games anyway?
Trauma from the GamerGate days.
>>714110751
They did the exact same thing during GamerGate. They tried to send the entire topic to /pol/ and began to delete everything and add spam filters when it backfired.

>>714111039
Its a movement ABOUT games, with basically no e celebs mentioned.

>>714111063
How’s that estimation calculated?

>>714111050
>isn't a good look for advertising
I do not care trannitors should die for trying to hide what people really feel about this situation

Every SKG thread

>>714111063
what website?

>>714111039
stfu wannabe jannie lmao

>>714111030
He made a vidya butts thread with ak 12 image you know which hit bump limit.
He made another one but that got pruned.
Then he made another and that one got pruned.
And this kept going without end.
I am not even making this up. He just wanted vidya butts thread. IF jannies ignroed him for a few threads he wouldn't have gone this far.
They are entirely responsible for the monster they created.

>>714110708
>>714110718
This is such a weird thing for them to do.... Just like that cripple, why would any human being be against it? This is weird and creepy..

>>>/pol/

>>714111030
It's simply a demonstration of hypocrisy of the moderation that's spiraled out of control with neither side backing down.
Nothing the guy does is any worse than some other threads that get posted, that's the point. He spams this shit specifically to demonstrate that.

>>714111063
getting the 316,812 signatures still needed is possible, we just need to keep pushing

>>714111063
ya, the EU site is gaining like 20k~30k sign ins per day, even if it drops to just 15k it will still be enough to get enough voices AND have at least minimum of week to get a nice buffer too.

>SKG shill threads are full of CP!

>>714111165
>How’s that estimation calculated?
Take signatures per day (or hour, or minute, or second, it doesn't matter) and do some arcane magic that involves the number of signatures needed to reach 1M.

Ok the decay of the current signature spike isn't very fast. It's going to settle at a daily level above what we need probably.
It's happening.

>>714110601 (OP)
is mold man still doing targeted ads? i remember he was talking about it dunno if that idea got scrapped.

aren't a like bunch of the guys shilling skg here actual indians are trannies though?

>>714111318
What a disgusing subhuman. Only SKG shills are this depraved and evil to be able to do this. That guy should genuinely be arrested and potentially executed.

>>714110653
Before stopping killing threads, we have to make sure videogames don't get killed anymore.
This is the most important thing /v/ will ever do.

>>714110708
>>714110756
It's literally related to all games... These "people" have no brain.

>>714110991
he's not though. by encouraging him you're encouraging that CP site too.

>>714111416

Alright it's time for this thread to die. It serves no good for it still being up.

need to take down leto for that, his shit will collapse without him

>>714111443
>It's literally related to all games
it's not.

>>714111520
I don't know who that is, nor do I care what his opinions on things are
he's got a viewerbase and he's supporting the initiative

>>714111525
>leto
Who is leto? I'm only aware of Ross.

>>714111525
Honestly I think one way to do it is to burn through as many of his IPs as possible since the feds are likely just watching him and not doing anything.

Not the win you think it is.

>>714111432
When it was moved to pol threads the supporting people were mostly EU flags + couple of US flags, but shills, spammers and other (((critics))) mysteriously disappeared

How do you respond now, HUH?

>>714111630
>unrealskybox on kiwi farms
I hope you don't mind if I don't.

No joke, every person who signed this commie shit should be investigated for CP. You "people" are disgusting filth.

That’s pretty based, being able to play the game you purchased when you want

Damn, better change up your fucking strategy, faggot jannies.

You'll need some industry plants in the commission to invalidate 60% of the votes at this rate

>>714111676
you asked who leto is, they did a very thorough job on him, another example of him shitting up the site is contributing to the start of the porn embed plague from a while back

Despite the porn shills we had a solid 30k signature day.

what communities? what the fuck are you talking about

>>714112195
>any of you ever played the City of Heroes?

Took you long enough you absolute fucking mongoloid, did you become wiser yourself or did your manager talk down on you?

Will this initiative bring back pic related? I never got to play it.

>>714112286
looks like it is, impressive

>>714112332
this isn't going to revive any old games as laws don't work retroactively, you're spouting schizo nonsense anyway. Anyway, you lost

>>714112404
because that would take more action than spamming a website on an anonymous forum

>>714112417
I like to think the faggot janny got bitchslapped by a better one.

>>714112404
Why that would involve removing (((them))) from the earth, and such isn't going to happen any time soon.

>>714112446
>went up by 0.2%
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>714112428
Probably depends on the wording of any laws. The game itself is free, but the trick is you have to buy NSO. I imagine it depends if a lawmaker catches that loophole.

>>714112417
>deleted
kek

>>714111674
I actually have a few 30 year old games in my collection from when i was a teenager. Back then videogmes did not need always online and videogame publishers could not turn them off the way The Crew was taken down by Ubisoft.

>>714112417
maybe its because they already tried bumplocking, moving, and deleting and it wouldn't work for whatever reason

>>714112494
laws should just focus on banning residential proxies they do nothing but be problematic

>>714112513
you misunderstand, it's going to be even more than 30k tomorrow, and the momentum isn't dying

We're all gonna make it.

>>714112620
I think laws should just ban anyone I don't like, if they don't they're racist sexist and shills

>>714112428
Maybe if Nintendo try an re-release it after this initiative has passed and produced a law they won't be allowed to kill it.

>>714112513
>needs 4k more for perfect 69.69%

How do jeets get so many pictures of asses?

>>714112428
it's not retroactive

>>714112619
Makes sense that they stopped, because the more you try to censorship, you either end up killing it or triple the efforts (like gate)

How do I sign this if I'm not in the EU?

You yet mistake me anon, but feel free to continue.

>>714112775
>How do I sign this if I'm not in the EU?
You can't. This is only for people from the EU. If you want to help you should make threads on other videogame forums and share the hashtag. If you have EU friends you shoudl talk to them or maybe mention this in the chat of EU streamers on twitch.

>>714112775
immigrate to sweden, the other countries are shit

>>714112775
> if I'm not in the EU
if you are in UK, they have their own petition going on. Otherwise you can try to get it hyped in other placed to get as many of Euros eyes on it.

The sharty is really performative about hating pedophiles and CP but they use his services. The ick on eck guy runs a similar service but at least there's a barrier to entry and he doesn't seem like he tolerates illegal content.

>>714112932
Some anons have been making videogame inspired memes already.

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.

>>714112340
Except for the fact that GAAS games aren't the target.

>>714113026
>calls you a pedo
>*proceeds to dump his entire CSAM folder*
Why are shartoids like this?

>>714112404
To do that legally you would have to stop buying their games. If the people supporting it did that then they wouldn't be supporting this.

ActMan made a vid in support.
Ecelebs all coming out of the woodwork.

>>714113206
Then they say this site has a CP problem, which they caused.

I was feeling a bit down seeing it 24k yesterday, but then waking up today getting close to euro midnight at 31k is inspiring.
Truly autism wins the day again.

This isn't fucking /pol/. The 2016 newfags really need to get the fuck off my board.

>>714113181
Kinda. If Ubisoft had not fucked up so badly in their greed to push The Crew 2 by killing The Crew 1 we might have never gotten to this point. I am still amazed by the greed shown by most videogame publishers.

>>714113026
eckers uses letos proxies
nobody is exactly sure how letos managed to accumulate such an extensive proxy collection (it really is ridiculously huge)

>>714113249
Ah, CIA tactics. Classic.

I’d sign for ya bros if I could

>>714113263
Yeah, I was feeling it was going to be just 20k for next few days, but hopefully with the push from this dude >>714111381 and the future plan for posting about it on twitter on 2ndJuly will give it another big push

>>714113315
ubisoft's greed has been a major part of their downfall

The cripple in pain will lose his grace of god if he doesn't repent his evil ways.

>>714113083
thats what Act Man suggested to be his out but nobody is gonna buy it at this point

>>714113070
I'm worried the reason it's going so fast in the middle of the night is that the signatures are getting botted and they will be discarded during the verification process

>>714113461
I have so many harsh words for Doom 3, but I can't deny that they get the spoopy part correct.

>>714113519
Can't bot signatures too good when they require a governmental ID.

>>714113320
The original one doesn't, I think.

He allegedly pays for them, which caused some minor drama with the og guy. Rumor has it that he's burning up some inheritance on it but it certainly isn't some epic botnet he spun up himself like he wants you to think.

>>714113083
now he just needs to kill himself to close the loop

>>714113519
I don’t think it works like this, as in it adds to the counter if the signature is already confirmed

>>714110601 (OP)
>need 10 000 signatures per day
fuck this is going to fail
good attempt though

>>714113560
I unironically like Doom 3 more than nu-DooM.

It would be better if had just died out and been forgotten like it seemed originally. This shit is going to get to like 98% and fail.

>>714113736
It's getting over 30k daily, saars.

>>714113736
>>need 10 000 signatures per day
We did 3x that today alone.

>>714113121
euroanon here, anything related to "i want the gov't to do it for me" only lead to a slipery slope, sure it's good to know that my own gov't would give a shit about my consumer right but at the same time i don't want that same gov't to use those rights as an excuse to push his shit harder on my everyday life.
i just want to play video game in peace, not have a stupid ass digital ID following me everywhere just so they know when i say nigger to someone online.

>>714113736
Considering it is hitting that triple amount per day, it's not bad at all.

>>714113737
That's fine, I respect that. I'm a person who can respect both styles of games but will always be drawn back to OG Doom and slaughterwads.

>>714113576
AAAHHHHHHH

>>714113576
Did Pirate Software actually save the petition by providing a face for the corpos that can be attacked and farmed for drama?

Alright fags, email some YouTubers. I emailed a history YouTuber and got a response. Doesn't look like that one will work out, but some of them do read and respond to emails. If you REALLY care, picking 3 mid to small time YouTubers you like to email really isn't a big ask. At the very least you can say that you've done your bit
And do what I did. Branch out. The history guy hadn't got any gaming vids, but he's a fucking history nerd. You know what nerds do? Play games. That gun YouTuber you like who looks like a fat nerd? Probably a fat nerd, give it a shot

>>714113121
As just a third-worlder without any horses on the race, I'll attempt to answer these.
>1. Why is it bad to force government you elected to represent your interests
My government tried that Brazil twice and it failed the first time, and cratered the second time.
>2. Why is it bad to have more consumer rights and better protection for them
I hate government and want (((them))) outside my life.
>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?
Blame normies for being good goys and not reading.
>4. Who except kike publishers will benefit from this initiative NOT passing?
It's a win for jews no matter how you slice. Eighter the government gets more power and ability to fuck you over, or the corpos gain more power and ability to fuck you over.

>>714113761
https://stop-killing-games.keep-track.xyz/
nah, the optimistic prediction are pointing at getting 100% at 7th July, and even if there will be a slow down I would imagine it would still archive the needed numbers at 14th

yes

Can I vote if I only have an EU resident permit?

>>714113320

I'll add to this by saying that none of what he's doing is new, it's just more automated now and there's no barrier to entry at all aside from probably being datamined.

>>714110601 (OP)
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.

i very rarely buy non-indies because there's an average of 0-1 good AAA releases per year

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.

>Why is it bad to force government you elected to represent your interests
Simple because they can't realistically satisfy the interests of everyone nor is it a good idea to pass a law that allows them to fuck with creative works.
>Why is it bad to have more consumer rights and better protection for them
This doesn't have anything to do with consumer rights. You were told a that a product was reliant on the Internet and that it may be taken down before the release of the game and you still bought it seeing it as a good purchase.
This is a temper tantrum and you not being able to take responsibility and learn from your actions so it doesn't happen again.
>Why should an average person read hundreds of pages of agreement he gets AFTER the purchase
Not only are EULA's available to read BEFORE you purchase, which is what you're clearly referring to, the necessary information is a sentence on the back of the box. You don't have to read hundred of pages and even if you did you could just ctrl+f relevant phrases.
>perfect understanding of all the edge cases of the phrasing used instead of expecting good service by default?
Are you really trying to say that being aware of how your rights and everyone else's function isn't necessary?
>Who except kike publishers will benefit from this initiative NOT passing?
Consumers for one since it doesn't open up the hobby to government intervention.
By the way publishers gain more from this from consumers since the false sense of security can be used to manipulate you into buying because you clearly don't care about the quality of the game as long as you know about it.

Oh and only SKG Pajeet shills use food analogies.

They are all Eurotrash, yes, but Ubisoft is their bread and butter. Even if they personally agree with the concept, the fact that The Crew is the thing that started all of is will likely have a chilling effect on the response you'd get.

plus it's not retroactive
but if this passes (and the EU parliament decides in favor of it) then if, say, next year they offer a "buy lifetime access to wow" thing then they'd have to allow you to make your own servers after their servers finally close down in 2225 or whenever

1. no retro-active changes
2. MMOs that have a subscription model (e.g. pay X dollars to play Y amount of time) are exempt because they're a service
3. other MMOs will be subject to the same rules as any other games

Many such cases.

>>714114170
>Whoever makes the game should be able to do with it as they damned please.
You can, very easily, by not making your game a product, but rather a service. If customers are not paying a single, one-time fee for your game then it won't qualify as a product.
If you make something like a MMO which uses a F2P (with subscription) model then you will be providing a service that you're more than free to shut down whenever you please. But if you sell a game for $60 and then try to remove the customer's access to it, that is known as 'theft' and is illegal in the EU.
The point of this initiative is not to change the law, but to get lawmakers to realize that laws are already being broken and create a more robust system to address this particular issue.

>>714114490
Anon, who do you think runs those corporations? Who are the people most common to lobby the government?

They already do this without any petitions whatsoever and already have the power to do this. Petition simply asks them to use that power for something people actually want instead of pushing the private chat access for 7th fucking time

>>714114342
MMOs are services as long as they use a F2P/freemium model. If you made a $60, one-time purchase MMO then that would be considered a product and be relevant to SKG.

>>714114671
>You can, very easily, by not making your game a product, but rather a service
So basically you're saying they can only do "what they want" if they do it a specific way.

Directive (EU) 2019/770 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 on certain aspects concerning contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2019/770/oj
Article 3(1) – Scope:
>States that the directive applies to contracts where digital content/services are supplied in exchange for payment or personal data.
Article 7 – Conformity with the contract:
>Sellers must ensure the digital content remains accessible and usable throughout the contract period or, for one-off purchases, for a reasonable period expected by the consumer.
Article 14 – Termination of the contract:
>Termination is allowed only under specific conditions, such as lack of conformity or breach by the other party. It does not grant sellers blanket rights to revoke access unless the consumer breaches the agreement or as contractually agreed under fair terms.
TOS terms are not legally binding in the EU. If they violate the law then they're null and void.
>So basically you're saying they can only do "what they want" if they do it a specific way.
Wow, companies can only do what they want when it doesn't involve fucking the customer up the ass? Crazy, I think we should go back to lead food cans and whole, dead rats in the sausage because the government is unreasonably burdening manufacturers with "regulations" (pussy shit).

>>714114639
The EU should really take a look at MMOs who have micritransaction ontop of you paying a subscribtion. The digital items you buy in the MMO like skins for your character might be classified as digital goods. So even if the game is a ''subscribtion'' game there still might be colleration due to videogame publishers trying to monetise on digital goods like character skins etc.

I disagree. When you purchase a product good service should be expected, not “learner from mistakes”. Normie or not, youre wageslaving half of your life away, you don’t deserve to be scammed just because it is more profitable for some gigajew to do so

>Problem being, if gov doesn’t do jack shit then corpos become your government and try to make your life subscription-based. Getting something good from them fucking with each other is objectively not bad
The corpos are already inside the government anon, comes as a perk of being jewish. And the infighting is manufactured too.
>I disagree. When you purchase a product good service should be expected, not “learner from mistakes”. Normie or not, youre wageslaving half of your life away, you don’t deserve to be scammed just because it is more profitable for some gigajew to do so
Gullible.
>EU government already has that power, petition asks them to exercise it in a way that actually makes peoples lives easier
As I've stated in the original post, I sadly am a resident of Brazil, and my government tried to help gamers twice, and fucked it up twice entirely because the (((corpos))) wouldn't allow it. So no I do not believe the government jews won't join in with the corporation jews to still fuck you over.

Hard to say for sure. Games that rely on central servers might be required to come with a warning label on the cover that the game may be shut down in the future.

>>714116457
It's possible that even with enough signatures they decide to just throw it into the bin, but that's unlikely
If they do decide to act on it they'd take months to spitball and draw up various laws regarding it
it's pretty much the wild fucking west when it comes to consumer laws regarding video games, so they'd be able to do whatever they want within reason

>>714116369
So would you say it's fine to require them to replace all instances of saying purchase with "rent"?

>>714116457
The EU parliament is obligated to consider it, actually consider legislation, maybe draft some laws to vote in if it proceeds.

>>714116369
No one is taking away the IP, though. They're forcing them to comply with regulations of commerce when they introduce their IP into a consumer market. They shouldn't falsify their ability to meet demands that they are unwilling to comply with (i.e. granting free reign over their internet service once they have decided to forfeit their own responsibility for maintaining it).

What you're suggesting is that they have their cake and eat it too, which is unreasonable to begin with and unfair to the consumers.

this was rejected in 2014, technically that mean the government understood my democratic right through my european representative vote and acknowledged it, right ?
well because it made it to the european commission, even if the vote was negative it still is taken in place 10 years later

True ownership of a property includes the ability to control access to that property by others. I respect Ross and SKG and understand that they are not actively trying to undermine property rights, but they are mistaken in their understanding of how property rights work in practice.

>>714116627
Yes, which is why I'm actually a bit ambivalent on whether the SKG initiative gets enough signatures, because that's one possible off ramp for the situation that maintains the integrity of property rights. SKG can get enough signatures without it automatically being the end of the world (which is why I'm a bit weirded out by how passionate some other pro killing games guys can be sometimes).

>>714116457

fuck this gay ass thread Iran is breaking the ceasefire

i disn't pay attention to shit cause I'm American and couldn't sign. lemme try and get this straight

Stop Killing Games is trying to stop corporations from removing the ability to play the games we bought, and allow us to emulate servers for mmo's and always online titles. However, it wouldn't let us buy delisted games like BFBC2. Maybe just keep the servers running for those who own it.

the streamer that I get confused for the 4chan post stealing x account, that pops up on my feed sometimes that gloats about working at blizzard constantly is trying to stop this

now jannies stepping in for some reason against the thread


Is the ex blizzdev a turbo corpo slut?
Why the fuck are jannies deleting threads? Ecelebs?

>>714114152
>If the other thread being move to /pol/ was any indication you're probably American
Polish
>Simple because they can't realistically satisfy the interests of everyone
Petition only asks to satisfy the interests of customers
>nor is it a good idea to pass a law that allows them to fuck with creative works
It fucks with publishers of said works, not with works themselves
>This doesn't have anything to do with consumer rights. You were told a that a product was reliant on the Internet and that it may be taken down before the release of the game and you still bought it seeing it as a good purchase.
I deserve to use the product I paid for even if the grandjew decides that this is not the case
>This is a temper tantrum and you not being able to take responsibility and learn from your actions so it doesn't happen again.
Good customer service should be expected when you purchase a product, not “learned from mistakes”. This is not controversial.
>Not only are EULA's available to read BEFORE you purchase, which is what you're clearly referring to, the necessary information is a sentence on the back of the box. You don't have to read hundred of pages and even if you did you could just ctrl+f relevant phrases.
How can you understand the whole text without reading the whole text?
>Are you really trying to say that being aware of how your rights and everyone else's function isn't necessary?
I am trying to say that when you read “YOU NOW OWN THE GAME**” you should expect to own the game, not that you own it until (((they))) decide that you don’t
>Consumers for one since it doesn't open up the hobby to government intervention.
Not really, anti-consumer practices will continue
>By the way publishers gain more from this from consumers since the false sense of security can be used to manipulate you into buying because you clearly don't care about the quality of the game as long as you know
Try writing a comprehensive thought next time, this makes no sense

>>714117348
I think I understand the initiative fairly well.

An increasing number of video games are set up to depend on a central server controlled by the IP owner. Once the owner shuts off the central server, the video games become unplayable, effectively destroying the owner's copy of the game without recourse. SKG is seeking to bring this practice to government attention in order to question the legality of this practice, because at first glance, the ability of the IP owner to destroy games that a customer has paid for does appear to be very hostile to the customer.

The reason SKG is a bad initiative is that control of access to the IP is a property right of the IP owner. The IP owner can and should be able to deny access to customers as part of their rights as the owner of the property. This is true whether or not the property is called a good or a service.

>>714117751
ok then geniunly simple question.

>>714111063

>Is now subject to the laws of game preservation
They can't escape.

>>714117964
>should be able to deny access to customers as part of their rights as the owner of the property
they are not the owner of the property if the customer fucking bought it it belongs to him, not the ip obviously but the property is his to do what they want to as long as it's not copying or modifying for money

can americans sign it?

>>714118129

>>714118056
SKG does relate to property rights even if it does not intend to. It's like how an initiative about roads would inevitably affect cars in some way even if it doesn't intend to.

>>714118129
That's a pretty stupid reason seeing as how people are a lot more eager to play new games rather than old ones. Doesn't matter how much better the gameplay of older games are-- average consumers don't buy things for the value, they buy for the sake of buying.

>>714117992
It's not needed, it's not useful, and ultimately strips IP rights from the holder while granting no consumer rights.

>>714118227
Americans have no options they're completely cucked by companies, hope the Europeans do it, for no one else is coming to save you.

Mahmoud Farshchian is the modern master of paintings in the Persian Miniature art style that follows the Persian tradition of Islamic art. They are exceptionally beautiful and I have been trying to ape his art style for years but my drawings are dogshit compared to this dude's.

A game in this art style would be Iran's answer to Okami. No fucking idea how the hell to even begin creating a game that looks as insane as this. Maybe 10,000 years in Blender and I'll get it right.

>>714118212
When a customer buys a copy of a video game, they are buying a license to access content. The license is the customer's property. The content itself is owned by the IP owner, and the ability to access the content falls within the IP owner's rights. Therefore the IP owner has the right to invalidate licenses. In a sense the customer still owns the license, the license is just invalid and can no longer access the content.

As a physical goods example, imagine you buy a car, and the IP owner remotely disables the engine. You still own the car, so your property rights are respected.

>>714117531
I know but it still hurts. PS3/360 days had some really fun/unique mp modes/games.

Ross is right. It's weird that I can still play shit from the 90s but not from the 00s/10s...

It wouldn't even get off the ground let alone crash and burn because the courts in the USA have already judged the issue and ruled that "licenses can be revoked for any (or no) reason" is legal way back in the 80s-90s. Nothing to do with the current state of politics.

Selling a license instead of licensed copy should simply be forbidden. If the IP owner does not want to sell a licensed copy, he should not be allowed to sell at all, simple as.

That approach is against EU laws already, as content falls under digital property and cannot be taken away by IP owner. Yes, you theoretically can force the dev to return your 60 bux if they ban you for saying “nigger nigger nigger”, although in most of EU you’ll probably get a hate speech fine if you admit that you said that in the court room

>>714119530

I'd dispute this. In the US this is true but as far as I know, it's a gray area in the EU.

The car example you gave is analogous and such a perfect example of what kind of dystopian hellscape the sociopathic suits would like the people to inhabit.

Here's hoping your online gamer movement fails so bad nobody ever tries it again.

Democrats and Republicans both suck retard
The major difference is that dems convinced a bunch of retards that they're heckin anti-establishment for blindly supporting corporations as long as they're the ones that the bad guys don't like, the republican approach is to say "Yeah lmao what are you going to do about it lmao?"
My point is that neither of them give a fuck about any of us. The other post was from a different anon.

>>714119812
Didn't mean to reply.

>stealing ideas
Wow, wouldn't you need really advanced tech to do that? To literally interfere with someone's brain to the point you can remove an ENTIRE idea?

Being a thief in vidya is fun, but I draw the line at being a thief IRL. No one is going to agree with you but other thieves, anon, and other thieves aren't likely to back you up on the day you end up getting caught.

Yes, slavery was ultimately a property rights issue.
Even if the SKG initiative passes, it's just going to lead to a Dred Scott case like result where the courts will be asked to choose between what activists want (free slaves/preserve game copies) and maintaining property rights, and the courts will choose property rights.

Yeah republicans would never run a platform of larping as anti-establishment. Very different than the other party.

plagiarism is just intellectual piracy, get over it bitch

>>714119993
No, actually. What you would need is see their idea in action, copy it, and then create a legal bulwark stating that it was your idea first.

Unless, of course, the person who came up with said idea realized how good their idea was and did that before you. Then you'd have no choice but to eat shit, as God intended.

>corporations are always bad
No corporations just always want growth. US Dems run better economies and are more profitable for corps than republicans which is why their legalization gets more corporate lobbying.

>>714120127
Yes, the property rights axis basically loops back on itself.

>"""""steals"""""" your idea

>Sells it for a lower price
problem, faggoid?

>>714120225
Who do you think foots the bill for that growth, anon?

>>714120159
Plagiarism would be trying to brand/sell the pirated media in question as your own.

Yes, piracy is not stealing. It is even worse than stealing. The damage from stealing is limited to the lost item. The damage from piracy is completely unlimited.

Just tell me what you think. I don't like guessing games.

>>714119458
that's actually hilarious, he should totally do that
absolute kino

I've been pirating tendie games for decades.
I don't even play them, just pirate, delete and pirate again.

Just an uneducated retard with a different colored hat.

Based, I do the same thing.

He isn’t that intelligent, and at this point I’m convinced he’s an industry plant considering how he was gaming the algorithm like game theory did.

>>714120353
Wtf stop trying to make me feel good!

>>714120382
It comes at our expense man, they squeeze every drop of profitability out of things until people move on to something else and they do the same. Gaming, for example, is in the state it's in because of that. The thread you're in right now is evidence that it's reaching its tipping point. Corporations aren't "always bad" but it's a lot easier to find examples of them being a bad thing for us than it is to find examples of them being good.

>>714119265
>Overwhelmingly Negative
Is the game bad or are people just review-bombing it because he's a prick?

>>714120819
It's been in early access for nearly 10 years, and for the last like 2 there's been hardly any updates at all. Also I find it funny how it's one of the few games not even on sale for the summer sale.

What's your proposed alternative to capitalism?

>>714120819
it's just a shit undertale ripoff

>>714120819
Review bombing doesn't exist, if tons people are leaving negative reviews there's a reason.

>>714120050
>>714120147
>>714120978
You do realize he was joking and instead of taking the capitalist route of trying to copyright jumping and killing competition, he just made better games.
Right?

>>714121073
>You do realize he was joking
Uh huh

>>714121141
>Missed the (laughs) at the end

idgaf about your stupid politics or how much you hate/love the government or corporations, man. No one cares.
The initiative is trying to do smth, the alternative is to do nothing, I think that's all it needs to be said, really.

>control of access to the IP
The customer has to be able to play the video game with a compatible video game system in order for the transaction to not be fraudulent in the first place, the IP holder knowingly agreed to grant access to the video game product and its accompanying services because that is what they are selling, that is their business as a video game company. Retroactive sabotage of the video game product and its accompanying services that the customer paid for demonstrates malicious intent and is not comparable to something like the customer losing the disc. That the specifics of software ownership and licencing is not properly defined in the legal system does not grant the IP holder unlimited power. EULAs can be challenged because they're often deliberately ignorant of actual law.

>>714121073

Looking at nintendo now i am sure that he was NOT joking.

>>714121031
>Review bombing doesn't exist
It definitely does lol... that's why I'm asking. This anon >>714121017 probably hasn't played it and is instead parroting what that other guy said in the Tweet, and >>714120883 probably hasn't played it either but hates EA games on principle. Doesn't really say a lot about whether the game is bad or if people are just shitting on it because the lead dev is PR poison.

>>714121014
I don't have one, I'm just tired of people trying to pretend the state it's in right now isn't a bad thing for the general public. Until recently capitalism was a pretty sweet deal for us.

>>714121213
I laugh when I tell you to kill yourself, doesn't mean I'm jesting.

>>714121397
>but hates EA games on principle
That's literally the reason why, just look at the reviews. It's all people saying to not waste money on it because it hasn't been updated in ages.

>>714121424
>I was merely pretending
Nah, stop playing damage control from the Republicans.

>>714121424
Still is a sweet deal if you're good at the game. Time to grind levels and get a job that pays above the cost of living.

>>714121397
go look up what the game looks like, retard

Yup, he was joking. Stay butthurt.

>>714110601 (OP)
What's the best video to watch on this "stop killing games"? I've always ignored it when it came up cause I didn't care about politics but I hear its getting crazy now

>>714121562
>>You can still play Nintendo games offline, including multiplayer stuff like Splatoon.
I think you're lost, jeet.

>>714121587
