Remember to sign the EU petition to prevent corporations from stealing the videogames you buy years later.

You can't own a service.
Dorry Original Poster, But I Can Not In Good Conscious Sign This Communist Agenda!!!
>>714130375But I can own the copy of the game that connects to the service, and have a version of it that doesn't need the service to function or a way to provide a substitute to the service on my own machine, you retard.
Anyways, all this is irrelevant because we're on pace to get the million signatures and win anyways. At this point we're posting the petition everywhere to ensure we have a healthy margin just in case. We are already the winning side and you're all just crying losers who have no choice but to observe us win. Have fun!

>>714129906don't think i will. besides this is sanctioned by the longnoses
>>714131191You must be confused. This thread is about video games, not art.
>>714131282>SKG is only focused on the latter.No, it aims at MMOs too but I think the ambition there is more either for a clear explicit expiration date on the box from day 1 or the devs leaving behind enough support for fans to make their own servers *easily* after the game closes shop one day.
>>714129525 (OP)I'm American but the form doesn't verify shit, so I've done at least 20 dummy signatures. Super easy, there's no excuse anons!!!

>>714131653Don't do this. The signatures are verified after.
>>714131653Kek just reported this to to ECI. Thanks!
>>714131653ironic shitposting is still shitposting
>>714131635I could have phrased that better. Primarily, SKG is focused on distinguishing which games are goods and which are services.
>>714131713No. Goods and goods and services are services. A video game license (which you own, according to EU law) is a good.
Here is the existing law on the matter:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2019/770/oj
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
Relevant sections:
Article 3(1)
>States that the directive applies to contracts where digital content/services are supplied in exchange for payment or personal data.Article 7
>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 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.All of this put together is to say: digital licenses for video games are products and cannot be arbitrarily revoked. It also gives you the right to a functional product, as outlined by Article 7(a)
>be of the description, quantity and quality, and possess the functionality, compatibility, interoperability and other features, as required by the contractIf a game you purchased is rendered non-functional by the seller then they have violated the established contract.
>>714129525 (OP)I don't support government overreach
Vote no for oppressive government.
>>714129545The EU parliament will take turns ramming this guy
>>714130545 in the ass and livestream it.
>>714131282Digital content not goods. The EU is describing this very accurately and they fall under mostly similar restrictions with digital services (a wow subscription) facing additional clarification and restrictions. Neither is considered a good unless it comes physical on a disc.
SKG is about digital goods and services.
>>714132039>If a game you purchased is rendered non-functional by the seller then they have violated the established contractI can just quote your own post to prove you wrong.
>>714131708>fascist is when thing i don't likeevery plen does this
>>714132135Digital content licenses are treated as being much closer to a good, though they are not legally considered to be 'goods'. They are their own third category because they don't neatly fit into the existing framework of services and tangible goods. That's the whole reason SKG even has to exist in the first place, game companies are taking advantage of the legal ambiguity to fuck people over.
>>714132351Sure can't, but I'll requote my post to reinforce the point
>>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.If you're going to pull some shit out like
>uh duhh, reasonable period can mean anythingI will not be replying to you.
i am all but positive the only people who are "anti-skg" are shitposters who don't actually care about the topic or people who are pro-skg just stirring the pot to keep discussion going and make people answer every possible retarded question to continuously prove there are no downsides
>>714132464>game companies are taking advantage of the legal ambiguity to fuck people over.Absolutely and even if SKG fails I have no doubt that there will be a new directive about it in the future.
>>714132464You can't predict the future, putting restrictions on game development asking for devs to guarantee the success and support through the duration of the failure of their product is against the spirit of capitalism, is hardcapping creativity, and detrimental to the service games market. A reasonable period can mean anything, as it should when it comes to service games. Glad to be done discussing this with you.
>initiative to end meat slaughter and force plant meat is 90% of the way there
Do Europeans really?
Government and corporations are both the enemy. It is morally correct to turn one enemy against another in order to benefit yourself. If the games industry will not engage in business in good faith then I will have the government force them to.
>>714133771What you have is called a god complex and it is always moral, logical, and ethical to oppose you since your entire existence revolves around self benefit at the sacrifice of all else.

How fast would this initiative finish if it was opened to American citizens
>>714136530The biggest hurdle that US based SKG would have is not the citizens, but the US law system being common law. There is already a precedent in US law regarding this that has fucked over so many fights against false EULAs. California is at least hearing out a case vs Ubisoft regarding the crew, but the plaintiffs are so retarded that it might damage the cause further in the US.

If you go to a bar, pay for drinks, and have a good time, then one day the bar is no longer profitable and the owner has to shut it down because they can no longer pay rent. You don't own the bar. It's a service. That's the same with video games. It's no longer profitable for the owner so they can shut it down if they want. You have no ownership over their property.

Steam would go out of business, which would be a good thing. But keep on getting fucked in the ass and then cry that you are getting fucked in the ass.
>>714138040If I go to the bar, pay for drinks, talk to the bartender for a bit so I take a little while to drink my drink, but then before I can drink it he takes it away and says that my drink is no longer supported but he keeps my money, I think I'm gonna be pretty unhappy.
>>714138215but enough about Steam

>>714138282If a game on Steam gets taken down, but you already bought it, you keep it.
>>714137950Not my problem
>>714138326>no updates>oops, it doesn't work anymore>good bye>money stolt
>>714136796>>714136530It would have instantly reached a million just to spite Piratefag, but it becoming law would be impossible because the Republicans are in charge and basically pass whatever legislation corporations want through ALEC (American Legislation Exchange Council) which is literally a corporate think tank that writes corporate friendly laws for Republicans to rubber stamp. And no, there is no equivalent for the democrats, who are also right wing trash, but not the actively fucking over people to allow corporations to hoard more money given the Republicans just rammed through a 4 trillion dollar giveaway for the rich at expense of everyone else.
The only way a SKG initiative actually becomes law in America at this point is if game publishers personally slight trump so he now has a reason to spite them and strong arm the Republicans into following along with it. And then you have to hope the publishers don't just send him a big enough bribe to make it go away.
>>714138367Games don't suddenly stop working because they don't get updates you zoomer retard.

>>714138456Would you rather you didn't keep the game?
>>714138429it doesn't need to be law in America if the game gets banned in the EU for not following their laws.
>>714138439>suddenlyof course not, only when a certain evil corporation forces you onto another OS and forces you to buy a new PC
(but also when you were retarded and installed Windows 10 or 11, then a random patch may actually destroy the game)
>>714138519I would rather prefer to own the game and have a physical used market, where I can buy games that are out of print.
TL;DR: Fuck Steam
>>714137950>picsounds based, where do I sign
>>714138519so you agree that Steam is using FOMO tactics?
>>714138590Just pirate games at that point.
The developers don't get money from you buying used games, so there's literally no point to it.
>>714138682>just stealno, I will instead buy physical games and skip Steam.
why would I give an evil corporation money that literally fucks everyone over and is anti-customer?
>>714138645When a game is decided to be taken down, it's taken down immediately.
There's no period of time where people become aware that a game is gonna disappear so they don't have an opportunity to rush buy it out of FOMO.
>>714138524That's probably the best way to get it done in America, I.E. bypass the legislator entirely, but in terms of a home grown attempt, I'm just pointing out why it's almost certainly DOA.
>>714138682>ownership has no pointkeep coping, Steamie
>but but we CARE about developersNo, you don't Steamie, otherwise you wouldn't give Steam any money, because it fucks Indies over and grabs 30% for nothing in return.
>>714138730>decideddid it violate any laws?
If yes, then that may be reasonable, but the question would be: why was it sold in the first place.
if no, then it should be illegal to do so.
So it is FOMO.
FOMO means you fear of missing out, which is the case on Steam all the time, because you never know when the trannies ban another game.
>>714135608From what I gather, SKG's campaign stalled out because there wasn't a tangible villain to fight. Sure you had the corporations themselves, but they've been around for so long, it just creates apathy on the side of the gamers where they just don't care.
Enter this rat and suddenly you have someone to not only work again, but he show reaction to your work knowing it's working.
tl;dr SKG needing a villain they could see.

>>714141012you know there is a crazy concept.
I do a specific work, others build roads.
I pay them to build my road.

>>714141419>you can't have a car without governmentCorrect. Who enforces your title of ownership of the vehicle? It says here that I own it and now you.

>>714141687>me paying for it does, retard.Ok well I paid a towtruck to take it to my place. I have it now. It's mine since I own it now.
>>714136743They've done it multiple times
>freedom is important to me
>oh, my freedom to play games I bought? no, I obviously mean the developers freedom to withdraw a game from existence after people paid for it
FACT: Pirate software will be responsible for saving video games. He tried to shut down this whole thing with false information, fallacies and refusing to talk in a honest equal ground but instead will end up saving it by being such an unlikable piece of shit, everyone will sign the petition just so he doesn't get his way. He'll probably lose most of his following. The greatest sacrifice and contribution to saving video games movement only second to Mold man himself. This movement would probably fail without his contributions with the whole making one side look so bad people don't want them to win the thing. If I was schizo I would even say Mold man himself mindcontrolled him to use him as a falseflag controlled opposition to make corpo shills look even worse.
So 1 year later when new laws are established, remember the unwilling puppet who was responsible for saving the video games. Remember pirate software for he will truly live up to his name at last. By freeing video games.
Hang on, this whole thing can be solved if EU just adopts the same laws as the US OR puts on their boxes that the game will need to be revived by the fanbase after XX amount of years when they no longer have a server for it?
>>714141851>on their boxes
>>714141821>freedom is important to only me>I don't care if my freedom comes from taking from others freedom
>>714141851>if EU just adopts the same laws as the USYou mean if they turn heel and make consumer protections illegal?
>>714141841>Try to shutdown/oppose a movement so hard that it makes the movement strongerIs there a name for this type of thing?
>>714141959Don't know. Ross just said SKG doesn't work in the US due to laws but it might still in the EU.
>>714141945>oy vey! you say it's a free country yet you're trying to take away my freedom to cheat you!
>>714141945>freedom means destruction of property, but only for corporations
>You'll own nothing and be happy about it
Wow what about my freedom to steel the games you bought from you?
>>714139478You're right. The average consumer should vote with their wallet. That always works.
>>714142026Next time read the fine print
>>714141419You really can't. You think a one man band is going to make a car for you? Manufacturing needs manpower, organization, a chain of command, collaboration with other organizations. Now you have a government of sorts. Now let's look at your house. A construction company built it, but then instead of selling it directly to you, they sold it to the landlord who'll pay more than you for the opportunity to lease the land to you. Now you've got the whole neighborhood being governed.
As more and more companies are formed the clients start feeling like they're being taken advantage of so they band together and boycott the worst of them. Realizing the power they have in numbers they form an organization which has a small number of representatives handling the organization's problems. They delegate an armed organization to enforce their demands against the businesses, and eventually their constituents. And now we have an actual government.
You can't have society without government, and you can't have shit without society

>>714136034Honestly, it might be better to go for broke and just say corporations can't shut off anything you already bought unless it's very clearly spelled out you're renting it.

>>714136034The oldest member of the EU Parliament was born in 1944. The EU already regulates some things in video games. Even if they didn't understand what video games are, they do understand what software is. A lot of important things (such as airports, railways, power stations, etc.) run on old software that is hard to replace, so if it reaches 1 million signatures, they might push it through just to avoid setting a bad precedent.

I care more about single player, and if the single player side of a game I like gets shafted because the servers go down at EOL with no way for me to play SP without a connection then I'm gonna be understandably pissed just as every other schmuck.
If you sold me a service with an expiration date under the guise that it was a product at the counter. Why wouldn't I be ticked off at the end of it?
Let us play and host our own servers. For fucks sake, this wasn't even a problem 20 years ago. You can still play UT2004 despite the official servers being down because players can host their own servers.
You know what's the funniest part?
Every corporation will make your games playable like you want after the end of service, but downgraded so much that you lose interest from how unplayable it is. Because the resolution doesn't talk about game quality and feature it's just about muh service.

There are so many things wrong with this industry. The moment, the one single moment, someone tries to start a movement to fix ONE of the many, many, wrongs with video games; they get pushback.... from gamers.... Wtf.
Do gamers really like taking it up the butt? Do gamers unironically support and defend shitty practices?!
This movement is such a clear cut thing - do you want more rights, yes or yes - there is no No, unless you're retarded.
Also people who think we should just let companies self regulate are beyond helpless - no fucking company is going to "self-regulate" if it will affect their bottom line, this is why government intervention and regulation is necessary.

Just vote with your wallet bro!
When a cartel of oligopolies conspire to not tread on each other's territory to be uncompetitive, just make your own multibillion competitor and don't get smothered to death or bought out!
When your power lines in your country get "privatized ", just make your own parallel powerline network! When the train system that's meant to serve the country and increase economic activity, not he profitable into itself, gets "privatized", just fucking walk two hours to work champ.

>>714147087>A corporation has no monopoly, you give them a monopoly for not moving on and find alternative.What. No. The corporation sees people moving to their competitor and then buys up the competition. Then they start buying more and more of their competitors till eventually there are no more competitors left. That's how you start getting monopolies, you fucking imbecilic cocksucker.
We don't give corporations monopolies you fucking retard, they make themselves monopolies over time.

>>714148118That too, but it could steer the convocation into copyright infringements. I used palworld v pokemon because of the mechanic patents, which is even more fucked imo.
>>714147834>Thank you for confirming him right with the government thing.Why does the supposedly amazing "frew market" not work for most of the world you dumbass?

Japanese law is completely fucked in favor of seniority, i.e. Japanese companies who have been around longer. The only reason it's even managing to go on as long as it has is because Pocket pair are being backed by sony.
The point still stands though.

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.
I swear anti-libertarian defense is pathetic, this deflection towards state protectionism and infrastructure monopolies only makes me laugh because we're talking about goods you can move and not real estate, not ISPs infrastructures, nit government protectionism which sucks ass and trump showed it again, it's fucking videogames.
>>714129525 (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. 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?
>>714149595Believe what you want, nintendnigger. A competitor appeared and Nintendo shit itself then filed retarded patents that could encompas many MANY games and get nintendo in the crosshairs of bigger corpos if they win the lawsuit.
Current projected results:
Worst case scenario: 800k-900k
Most likely scenario: 900k-1.05M
Best case scenario: 1.16M
Keep in mind that initiatives have often thrown out ~12% of signatures, so 200k of signatures are likely to be removed from the total.
This means that the final amount will be 600k-960k if preparing for the worst case scenario.

>>714149812What? In what way you retarded giganigger? I was in the threads watching nintendo fans reee at the top of their lungs about copyright infringement when the shitshow started when there wasn't any copyright infringement in the slightest. I've been wanting better Pokemon games for fucking ages, yet Nintendo CONTINUED to push out buggy shit with even worse mon designs. Palworld was a breath of fresh air and instead of going "huh, maybe we should make better pokemon games." Nintendo decided "lets make broad patents and file them after the games release then investigate and sue them on patents if we can't get them on copyright.". If palworld had ripped models from pokemon and just slapped a new coat of paint onto them, then nintendo would be in the right, but that would turn the case into a copyright infringement case. not a patent infringement case.
All you've done in this little interaction is call me a snoy without refuting any fucking argument and the only person outing them as a fanboy of any company is you faggot, and you're clearly a nintendo cock gobbler.

How I slept last night knowing I made a bunch of bootlickers very angry by creating this thread
Power structures are all the same, and the state is even worse with its unchecked power.
Mark my words, today they may work for you, tomorrow they invite their corporate friends with big money because you're not the only who can do lobbies, anon. All because gamers nowdays can't work towards independence and emancipation.

>ok well look into this initiative
>wait so why are you calling games ''services'' while selling them as goods?
>why do you ask for a initial 80$ price for a ''service''
>why does this service come on a disk or require a download
>why isnt your service working properly when you offer it? why does it need tons of fixes on release
>why dont you offer proper customer support and refunds on your service?
>speaking of services, the way this service looks looks a awful lot like gambling
>why arnt you following gambling laws?
and so on and so on
you niggers have no idea how many cans of worms this will open once the EU starts looking into it, the entire industry knows once everything comes above water the grift is over
>>714138590>I would rather have a billion dollars instead of a million dollars, so fuck off with trying to give me a mil
>>714152295>you niggers have no idea how many cans of worms this will open once the EU starts looking into it>he thinks his gerontocracy is going to look at it in detail

If this happens, it'll fuck bigly EA, Ubisoft and the likes, and all the lolbertarians will piss and shit themselves, along with all the republicans.
I will literally cum if this happens.
>>714139478fuck off vegan
>damn he tortured a cat that's fucked up>OH YEA WHY WONT YOU STOP EATING MEAT ITS LITERALLY MURDER
>>714151290Depends on how many people spam this shit on Twitter, Twitch and Youtube this week and the next. And also depends on how many e-celebs pick up on it.
>>714152473I don't give a shit, you dig your own grave in the end.
>>714152565Well pewdiepie just posted on his twitter in support of it.
>>714152606>twitterTwitter is completely irrelevant outside of the US. Europeans almost exclusively use Facebook.
>>714152606He doesn't use Twitter
>>714152387>EU>Gerontocracyevery major leader within the EU is well under the retirement age
this isnt the US running the worlds most expensive retirement home
>>714152605>NOOOO YOU'LL STOP GETTING LIVE SERVICE SLOPok cool

>>714152672>all boomers>retirement age is almost 70 yoGood luck, gaymer.
>>714152691>wont even make a video abouttoppest of keks, SKG niggers humiliated
>>714152691We won. Like I said, we already won and all the bootlickers here have no choice but to cry about it and see us win. Stay mad.
The baiting in this thread is some of the funniest i've seen in weeks
>>714152747Spare me the memes, soon you're going to consume state approved games and get sent in israel to die. Have another laugh faggot, you can't live without the goverment having a say on every little thing in your life.
>>714152691Now I have hope it will actually succeed. Contrarians that hate him will oppose it and it will gain even more exposure.
>>714152691Sadly, a random comment isn't something most people will notice compared to a dedicated video. So it probably won't do much. But at least it's something.
>>714140876Ancaps are just reverse commies
>if goverment was in control of everything then there would be nothing to stop it to be perfectly fair and just>if the government was in control of nothing then there would be nothing to stop the world from becoming perfectly fair and justIf anything commies are more realistic as they acknowledge some power structure will emerge. Governments are not a recent thing, they existed in all civilizations in every place, they are the outcome of putting reason into ancap utopia animals live in.
>>714152665Tons of Europeans use Twitter. Even my mom does. Facebook is more popular, but only with non-gamer non-English speaking normie types.
>>714152920>state approved gamescontrary to Amerimutt approved games?
>>714152359No one needs PC-slop.
PC gaming is over.
>>714152514>Steam is meatit's actually cheaply anti-consumer slop.
you are actually refusing meat (physical games)
>>714153029>If anything commies are more realistic as they acknowledge some power structure will emergeYou don't understand shit about marxism and the end goals of a revolution.
Also by your own logic, slavery always existed in every place and civilization so lol why not using power structures and not give a shit about decentralized means? You're all a bunch of delusional niggers holy shit.
>>714151215It's not a negotiation, retard.
