Game companies shouldn't be able to sell you a game they cut support for within the matter of years, months, or weeks or they should let the community take over by releasing tools so the community can maintain the servers. They shouldn't just steal your money from you.

Petition to make multiplayer games slightly less jewish rustles the jimmies of blizzard nepo baby who tries spreading misinfo to kill it. Whole community rallies again nepo baby. Petition now over two thirds of the way to 1 million signatures (or the amount needed for the EU governing body to give a shit).

Okay! Imagine you have a super fun toy, like a video game you love to play. You bought it, so it’s yours, right? But one day, the people who made the toy say, "Sorry, you can’t play with it anymore!" They turn it off, even though you paid for it. That’s not fair, is it?The "Stop Killing Games" stuff is about people saying, "Hey, that’s not okay!" They’re trying to make sure that when you buy a game, you can keep playing it forever, even if the company that made it stops supporting it. They don’t want companies to "kill" games by shutting them down, especially if you need to connect to the internet to play them.They’re asking for rules to make sure games stay alive, like letting people run their own game servers or play without needing the company’s help. It’s like making sure your toy stays yours to play with, no matter what!

It's about getting lawmakers to make legislation stating that when developers of online only games end service they would be required to release the tools that would allow fans to host their own servers so the game can remain playable. Developers have an issue with this for some reason even though it would cost them nothing and some nepobaby streamer keeps misrepresenting the idea in an attempt to kill it.

it's gonna be some real monkey's paw curl type shit for sure, and the industry has been long overdue and in dire fucking need of a complete collapse, so in the end it'll save games from the megecorpo lazy jewslop theocratic bullshit that they're currently quagmired in

I like Ross but why is he such a little bitch? He’s always whining and complaining. Especially in that latest stream. “Guys I’m just SO exhausted guys I DONT HAVE THE TIME RIGHT NOW IM JUST SPENT IM SO EXHAUSTED THIS HAS TAKEN A LOT OUT OF ME” it’s like he’s describing the most difficult thing in the world when all it boils down to is typing emails to people and talking with organizers on a discord. He does the same shit when he’s talking about why his game dungeon is delayed for the 10th time. It can’t be THAT hard.

>>714131243
I'm an employee of a studio that runs a live service game. One of the difficulties following that fairly simple ask would be is the sheer complexity of the backend, and the shared architecture across multiple games. There are actual dozens of physical servers required for one player to play the game as intended, being able to move between areas and access their inventory. Even the dev-side stuff that lets you emulate and run locally is extremely limited.
Asking a game that runs like that to adjust to "just let me run it offline," is a fairly huge ask, and that's not saying anything about, "let me run a server so I can play with my friends."
I'm supportive of the initiative, but online games are fucking complex, aren't getting simpler, and the, "then make it fuckin simpler" approach is fairly unreasonable. Still, the objective of not letting what are essentially single or low scale multiplayer games die is worth all the messy complexity, especially because fuck Ubisoft in particular.

>>714132106
>All those always online single player games will have an offline option,

His production pipeline is really bad, no qualms there. Specifically for Freeman's Mind he just sits there staring at the footage until he thinks of something to say. I'd go mad too.
>once a month stream
I don't know why he stills does those, they're not fun if he's not having fun doing them.
He should at least shift them so he's playing retro games or something instead of just sitting in dead silence staring at not-quite-the-camera going "umm, yeah, so in regards to what kind of toffee apple I like" like nobody cares man, don't do Q&As if you don't want to do a Q&A play some Dungeon Siege or something.

Well then it sounds like this hypothetical legislation would force developers to make more streamlined server architecture if they didn't want to shoot themselves in the foot later down the line.
I'm not pretending that this would cost the developers nothing, but frankly, I don't give a shit. I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to ask that online only games don't eventually become unplayable. Better yet, why not STOP MAKING ONLINE ONLY GAMES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This form is "streamlined" by siloing and specializing tasks across devices suited for performing them at scale. If you wanted to simplify on a per player logical level, condensing things into fewer servers, those servers would be way less performant at any given task - meaning that you'd need more servers for the same amount of players, significantly increasing the cost of running the game as-is.
The proposed solution of 'just make it work' is tantamount to saying fuck any studio/dev who wants to make any games that are functionally MMOs. I don't like my employer either so I'm also fine with this, GDPR already makes our lives difficult, the EU is on the right track

>>714133415
It wouldn't have done pre-WoW incident and grooming allegations, it took multiple exposures for PirateSoftware's cred to actually start crumbling.

You notice now it's not just other Youtubers who are fine with covering this now, industry gamedevs and scene dudes are talking about it, and it's really rare for either of those to criticize youtubers publicly because they don't like the attention.

>>714132267
The fun part is, you have no obligation to hand a functional server structure over to anyone. Only release the code so anyone motivated enough to do so, can. It's literally just putting your online-related code on github as a Public repo and going "no longer my problem".

>>714131551
Sounds good

Either it works and the industry confirms to live service and always online games getting offline modes; or it leads to live service and always online games not getting made anymore

either way we win

>>714132267
Why would you need dozens of physical servers instead of just running things through Docker or similar on a beefy CPU?
I'll admit to knowing nothing about backend, but isn't heaviness of backend not from the actual software that runs on it at idle without anyone connected, but rather how many people it has to connect to and handle at once?

It's a european initiative, pandering to english speakers on youtube means nothing

>>714133778
So, multi-answer here. On a logical level, yeah containers are essentially 'the future' for running services, and those mean you're not really worried about the physical hardware that it's running on. But on the other hand, containers are relatively new in the technology space, not everything is running on them, and orchestration and management, as well as running the fleet backing it is still a relatively hard to acquire skill, personnel wise.
The other part is specialization - some stuff is written very specifically to take advantage of certain hardware capability, like running one database with the understanding that queries to it will be answered within a certain time threshold, while another one is non-blocking calls that could be run on spinners. Or certain processes needing high frequency CPU speed, while others just need core count.

>>714133731
That's the other part, say a critical part of your game's server functionality is shared across multiple games that you make - being required to throw that out there at end of life means that you've essentially compromised that particular part of some other game you still run.

What do you think the cloud is made out of? You're just renting someone else's physical servers and usually paying a shitload more to do it. It's useful for temporary needs like population spikes and is definitely a part of a good architecture but is not cost-viable to just live there.

>>714124620

>>714134541
go ahead and explain why making offline modes is literally impossible.

>>714134252
Good answer, thanks. It seems to me like this is nothing insurmountable, and would likely improve game networking if more experienced and skilled people were brought in to develop the backend. Not dissimilar to how GDPR managed to improve data privacy, handling and security of services all over the world.
Worth also considering that if this goes through, it's likely to only happen in like 2028 or something and isn't going to be retroactive. I think that's more than enough time to adapt. Live services isn't going to disappear because it's just too profitable, so they'll keep being made, and the world will keep turning.

>>714135079
It's definitely not impossible to overcome, especially if you know you need to design for it from the get-go. It's just more of a challenge than I think the petition maker or lawmakers would really grasp, and there's a lot of room for tech-jargon to convince someone that it's an "unreasonable burden" or some legal nonsense and have some sort of exceptions put in for live service games that would let them dodge requirements.
>improve game networking if more experienced and skilled people were brought in to develop the backend
We (and I mean that to include the entire suite of people involved in live service) are really incompetent. Like getting skilled people and listening to them doesn't seem feasible.

Not only did you, you're yet again using all the same arguments. As it so turns out none of these things actually turn away publishers because the loss of the entire EU is actually a lot more substantial than just EU sales. Implementing offline modes or releasing a wrapper for a server SDK that has a readme that goes "Put your server IP here, put your port here, click 'run' and you're all set, make sure you have al ot of RAM for this" is literally not worth losing anywhere from a quarter to a third of your sales base over, and if someone is telling you it is - I got a bridge to sell you.

You're literally an angry ESL who thinks acting all aloof with all lowercase doesn't hide how blue in the face with rage you are. You said it yourself: You think the publishers will pull out of the EU. This means you believe they see that as a more likely possibility than following the legislature of the initiative. Given how simply the legislature is, that means they'd have to see it as plainly impossible. if you don't want to take responsibility for your words, maybe stick to whatever Indian subforum you wandered in from.

>>714137435
No one is demanding Tumblr purple hair dev to release their garbage unprofessional poorly documented spaghetti code. All we're asking is for them to not destroy the game because they're too cheap to continue paying the .25 cents for server hosting.

If you think it's a guarantee they'll pull out, that explicitly means you believe that they see it as impossible from some standpoint or another. If you literally can't even take responsibility for your own words, then I can tell you right now that's a glaring sign you are in fact a streetshitter who doesn't believe in anything he's writing and is just making up contrarian disagreements for attention.

>>714137850

unironically if a company making some expensive game somehow doesn't consider this when releasing in a game in a EU it deserves to fail
It only applies to new games being made after it passes. And even then, games in development are probably exempt because it's too late to save them. It's meant to save games 5-10 years later down the line. All the current big MMOs don't have to do shit. So you have time to consider your backend server infrastructure and work with services that would make it EU compliant.
God forbid a company has to comply and work with a law to make sure their game is compliant and consumers are able to play it after they drop support.

Anon, through just scraps of source code leaks and basic comments from the devs people have built entire new private server infrastructures for live service games far more complex than whatever your dev team has squatted out hot onto someone's plate likely using a very well documented very public engine like UE. Just off the top of my head:
>City of Heroes SCORE (Now like 6 new ones entirely)
>HorizonXI for FF11
>TurtleWoW
>PSO Ephinea
The people who can and want to run private servers are not people who are going to be daunted by "complexity." If two to three hobbyist autists can figure out mangled, leaked source code then an actually competent developer team would know what documentation to safely release without causing any headache.

And losing control in the process. By the way, it's really amusing that Mac also got mentioned, but you ignored completely. I wonder why... definitely not because your an Apple shill, right?

>>714139720
All of the games I listed are on custom, proprietary systems that have never had full source code leaks. Two of them are Japanese games from decades ago meaning their source codebases are so rich in spaghetti it looks like an Italian's large intestine. They predate modern API systems and GitHub and super-highspeed wired just a hair under terabit internet and had netcode that still uses the term "talk" for wireless connections. There were no standards of documentation or even syntax for these fucking aberrations. They are, undoubtedly, harder to turn offline or privatize.
Whatever live-service slop you're making is fundamentally less complex due to the abundance of documentation and publicly known third party materials meaning even a sub-techliterate retard would be able to redeploy based on the server code you provide. Hell I bet your backend doesn't even have a distinctly inhouse compiling tool, I bet that shit's by majority third party too, just with some basic relevant-to-the-game changes hacked on. And all of it is designed for new hires to grasp and work with within a week of starting. There is no excuse you could make here.

That also applies to the completely forgettable goyslop you're trying to save with this gay initiative, funny, isn't it? Those games certainly don't die because they were at its players peak.

Why does the game industry get to rely on bad coding practices?
At least with other fields, the problem is legacy code that refuses to die, not new problems caused by new stack development.

I'm not interested in what live service game you work on because the modern ones are all built on the same very narrow field of systems because they're affordable, rich in documentation, and have engineers who are paid on the clock to provide insight and support.
My point is there is nothing "complex" about whichever flavor of either mobile game, PUBG clone, or Overwatch clone you guys make that is too complex to privatize.
And it's bold of you to accuse me of appeal to authority when you opened with things like "there are actual dozens of physical servers required for one player to play the game as intended" which only works as an argument on people who don't know what the fuck a datacenter is. You guys do not have access to some secret proprietary alternative to AWS or Azure or Google Cloud. You're using one of the three - and that's not a slight against it, it's affordable and it works, but do not pretend that's somehow hard to release the source code for how your game interacts with it or dedicating two guys who mostly spend their time rotating rocks on maps to plugging numbers for where the game phones home for an offline version.

There is, as I said, no excuse you could make here.

Game devs in engineering roles are underpaid compared to big tech, so high skill workers don't care to work in the industry. Scroll up and read the posts by that one live service dev, he admits this.

>>714140596
Game dev engineering is basically chattel slavery. You get paid like shit regardless of quality of work. The guys who were doing technological marvels were usually making money elsewhere and just incidentally put their shit in game dev because they knew it on hand (The fast inverse square root in Quake's rendering was written by a guy who initially used it for a fluid dynamics simulation for a university that was paying him MUCH more money than Id would be paying him).

The ultimate goal of Start Killing Goys is to make DRM'd and live-service games more palatable by promising you that you'll be able to play them forever, and thus feeling no need to stop funding that cancer.

>>714140594
Maybe you should've had a stop killing windows initiative a decade ago then?
Windows is an example of what happens when you let a corpo do whatever they want
The action required to stop killing games is simple to understand, release the fucking server files
Meanwhile how do you fix windows without an arbitrary wish list?

>>714132267
You are shit at your job. It should be and probably already is just one command to run the entire stack on a local developer machine for testing purposes.

The same way that Apple got forced to kneel after they tried to defraud the courts.

Alternatively, forcing Microsoft to do what AT&T did with UNIX.

>>714140961
Most of the money goes into marketing, licensing, upper management, and PLURALITIES of low-skill workers. Why pay one really fucking good engineer good money when he's limited to the scheduling and ability of one man and you need this game out by Christmas? Hire 20 Forrest Gump-tier programmers that in total go at approximately 80% his minimum rate and you'll get the same amount of work done in half the time at the price of it being about a third the quality, and you can get away with that because video games are a consumer business meaning you can just tell the consumers to buy better hardware.

Corporations good. Kill all games. Eliminate fun.

>>714141467
Normies use windows because it comes with prebuilts and laptops, not because it's good
Stop killing games involves telling corpos to go fuck themselves and release the server files , you either do the minimal amount of work or you get nothing
You meanwhile want the government to step in and use the taxpayer money to save the thing you grew up with instead of realising that everyone in that corpo fucking hates you and everything good about it is gone

I'm actually from Jalna.

Computers are tool that are meant to be used.
Windows is best because everything is native and it just works.

>.The funny thing is, as soon as you tell me (and quite proudly, I might add) that you primarily run Linux, I already know a ton about you. I know that you have no artistic ability -- that you're not into full-stack or front-end dev (no photoshop), you're not a photographer (no lightroom), and you're not into video editing (no premiere). I know you're not a software entrepreneur, as you would have needed full-stack development for that. I know you're not into remote collaboration with Google Drive (and Dropbox support is being ended soon). I know you're not an iOS developer (no XCode), or mobile developer at all (which generally requires Photoshop). I know you haven't honed your UX/product sense. Even if you dual-boot, I know you're in pain and will probably lose a bunch of data one day and have no idea what happened. You see that?

My job gives me access to a decently large database of people's names as well as their ID, which is all that's needed to sign afaik. Most of them elderly people that would never know their data is being used to stop killing games, and thanks to the outdated digital infrastructure of this country, it's likely that it'd be hard for the government to check if every signature is fake or spam. Or so I imagine.

I'm not gonna do what I'm implying here, I already signed and that's about as much as I'll do. I'm just curious what the actual practicality and consequences of it would be. Does the EU take their credential checking seriously for stuff like this? Would there be jail time or a fine for someone that did something like this? How easily can this system be exploited, if at all?

No yeah it'd be a tremendous pain in the ass to even bother, it's just, I signed the petition and all it asked for was country of origin, name and surname, and for me to promise I was giving true info and hadn't already signed, like I was trying to enter a +18 site while being underaged or such.

So I'm like "wait, that's it?", feels kind of exploitable unless I'm missing something

>>714145000
>>714139848
He's a retard. making stuff up. There's no such thing as a "random ID." Each EU country has their own IDs and their own databases of those. When you sign the petition and input it, it compares THE NAME GIVEN with the ID NUMBER. If those two don't match, you get an error.

So unless he, by some miracle, just so happened to make up a name + make up an ID AND both were valid AND the ID fit the person, he's just LARPing.

The guys who are doing technological marvels might end up in the gaming industry. But they will 100% of the time pull out if given the opportunity. The pay for a skilled programmer the likes you are describing, ones that make technological marvels, is infinitely higher in non game jobs. Not even comparable. Banking, engineering, take a pick. Its going to make you as much if not more money than a decently successful game. And you won't have to hope for a runaway hit.

It's a great starter point, I never played any Heroes games or M&M before either aside from Song of Conquest and maybe 2 hours of Heroes 5 with the 5.5 mod. I hear 7 has a mod now as well. 4 is apparently decent. Sseth's videos are unironically pretty good for all this.

Some notes:
>Get Heroes 3 Defintiive/Complete/Whatever its called on GOG, NOT THE HD edition on Steam (HD does not have the two expansions or the map packs expansions (heroes chronicles), not moddable either, not fixable.

>Go get it on GOG or pirate it and download the Horn of the Abyss mod as well.

>If you wanna play campaign vanilla (not the Abyss mod campaigns, which are way harder and kinda sweaty, I believe), you need to download the campaign files and dump them in your maps folder, I think. The ones on some sites might be out of order by name if you load them in game, so you might end up playing some late-expansion mission first and get your ass kicked like I did despite it being labeled as "1." or whatever.

https://www.moddb.com/games/heroes-of-might-and-magic-3/downloads/heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii-campaign-files-corrected-naming

^I uploaded the correctly-named files on moddb since the one already on there is wrong. Heroes 3 works very well, holds up perfectly with the QoL fixes from the HD mod (which was rolled into the Horn of the Abyss mod, again, one click install on GOG). Would recommend. Solid strategy game.

no they didnt. engine licensing allowed Carmack to spend his shekels on boondogles like Armadillo airspace. so did swiney.

Forgot to mention, Horn of the Abyss is a separate install, so if you want the QOL fixes, you need to either run software to extract your old campaign files from your HoMM3 install with separate tools, or download from the moddb link.

Why should I be against this?

>why should I be against a megastate telling developers what to do and potentially seizing intellectual property because I want to play a hecking video gamerino

>>714154278
no u don't get it every video game developer is a megacorporation who hates you and wants to exploit u...so we need the gobermint to fuck them up >:)

>>714154332
This but unironically. The past 12 years have shown that.

Surely all they would need to do to shut this case down is point out that larger relevant industries already do this and its legal for them.

>being required to throw that out there at end of life means that you've essentially compromised that particular part of some other game you still run.
a thing having its source code public does not make it insecure

>>714154142
In this Concord scenario, would people still be refunded for paying for the game? Or is it game over because it's still somewhat playable thanks to SKG?

>>714154278
>every video game developer is a megacorporation who hates you and wants to exploit u
Are you at the point of shilling, where you just say true statements and pretend they are false?

>>714154093
Lmao, even if they do father one million signatures, it's not gonna get anywhere because they need to gather signatures 7 member states. Fuck you shitalians, I won't sign it out of spite.

>>714137891
>you retards are just incapable of inserting your own retardation into things
So.... they're doing the right thing?

>>714154332
>every video game developer is a megacorporation who hates you and wants to exploit u
Are you at the point of shilling, where you just say true statements and pretend they are false?

corporate magnates don't even remember they're on the verge of bankruptcy, let alone their fans. Try not to be too finicky about them.

>>714154501
Nigger are you retarded? It's got 13 of the member states at their threshold, with Finland getting closer to 300% of their threshold every day.

>>714154596
Finland is at 1.66%. The highest is Slovakia at 46.33%. Only Italy passed the threshold.

>>714129560
Silly question. Like only 15% of playtime of steam users is spent playing current year games.

>>714154596
dumb nigga, he is talking about the fake pizza initiative not SKG where italians alone have 1000%+ look at the fucking link first

All "statistics" about SKG are demotivational propaganda orchestrated by der ferret fucker to make create a sense of complacency among would-be supporters.

>>714154638
Give me an example of a non-megacorporation video game developer who would get fucked by SKG.

>>714154868
on the contrary, only megacorporations would suffer almost zero impact from increased game development and legal compliance testing measures because they can simply eat the cost or use an army of lawyers to bypass requirements

it's amazing to me that you don't understand this already, the only thing increased EU regulation ever does is hurt little guys and make it easier for megacorps to increase their market share

>>714155034
>no example
I rest my case, corposhill retard.

>>714155034
This is correct, forcing Apple to use USB-C was really harmful for anyone else.

every private sector industry with small scale businesses is harmed by EU bullshit, because over-regulation means enormously increased expenses on a per entity basis

>>714155114
apple usb-c was about punishing apple for tax evasion, they did not actually give a single shit about chargers

The rate keeps going up. Sign the fucking petition you fucking rat
