>help me government i am retarded i can't stop buying scams!

>>714153823 (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?

>>714153919
I'm sorry Schlomo, your corpos will bend the knee to the European gamers or die

Is that not what laws are for?

Where's this from?

>>714153823 (OP)

>>714153919
Other way around.
There are millions of people gladly buying into scams and I want the government to wrangle those tards.

>>714153919
This is for developers and consumers, nobody wants to put out a game that had 4+ years of development for no one to be able to play it ever.

The only one against this are people that think it's retroactive (fucking retarded, obviously it isn't) and publishers that lose a small amount of control on what happens after they want to pull the plug.

>>714153823 (OP)
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.

Once you have lived among the dregs of society you will learn that state intervention is the only way to save them from their own idiocy. They will never be intelligent enough to avoid scams or to avoid vices like alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, gambling etc. This is why the state must intervene to save them from themselves. The next time you see someone in possession of illicit drugs you should report them to the police, you will be doing them a favour in the long-run.

>>714154802
No, the solution is to keep them from ruining their own lives and the lives of others. I've been trying for years to get Singapore-style drug laws enacted in my country. It's the only way to keep them from fucking everything up.

Gambling laws exists to make it a state-affiliated monopoly.
Drug laws exists cause the state couldn't control substances everyone could make.
You beginning to see a pattern?

>>714154573
Nice, wasn't sure if it was legit

>>714154837
In my eu state gambling and drig laws are state monopolies and still get advertisement with people smoking cigarettes and gambling at higher prices more than before.

What did you solved?

>>714154540
*puts my hand on the giant vagina worm alien's face*

it's scared

The solution is simple: private servers. Just make it a policy that games need the ability to host your own servers for games so that you can play in perpetuity. 90s era FPS are still played because they allowed for this.

>>714154973
>Drug laws exists cause the state couldn't control substances everyone could make.
No, they exist because the substances are harmful and people will kill themselves and others if left alone with it.

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

No let it stay illegal so cartels can keep dismembering people for that.

Regulations are GOOD and reigns in corporations.

>after a certain amount of time all games need to have the ability to host private servers for games

They hate doing that because they want 100% control over the games. We never talked about old games "dying", because you can ask a buddy if he wants to play Quake 3, and you just do it even if it's 2025. a modern game is tied to corporate servers, thus it will die the second they yank it.

>>714155283
>conveniently leaves out the part where big pharma started the heroin addiction pandemic in the country while the government did nothing because of lobbying
Regulation that the government imposes on their populace only benefits the big man. Regulation that the populace demands is always greeted with concern trolling about the lack of success that government imposed regulation has.

You need a real id to take part idiot. It verifies during it..

>>714155651
No it wouldn't.
The pandemic of heroin drug addicts started because the Sackler family had a complete monopoly of opioids and encouraged doctors to prescribe them as much as possible, granting them kickbacks per prescription.
Once the patient got addicted to opioids, they were forced to go back to these doctors to get more prescriptions, which eventually they couldn't afford. Since they couldn't afford them, they went to the black market.
The Sackler family got protection from the government to keep doing this shit for years.

>>714155848
man, i can't wait to die for israel because a million jews signed a petition to increase government involvement in my private life

>>714155894

Here, a simple search.

List of dead MMOs.
https://stopkillinggames.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_game_list
The SKG wiki where you can see MMOs and videogames that had alays online DRM that have been killed, onced that were saved by the community and ones that are in risk of getting killed off. There are a ton of games that have been killed which is really sad. If publishers wanted to stop support they should have just given people the ability to keep the game alive, they should have given us the tools to preserve those games as abandoware at least.

The first time around it only got 330k signatures in a month. You need 1.2 million signatures for this to actually pass (because of the ~12% rejected signature rate). Getting 500k signatures in 30 days is extremely unrealistic.

He can't support SKG publicly since his show is funded by videogame publishers. If he supports SKG they will pull out their trailers and presentations from his show to punish him. You have no idea how nasty videogame publishers are. There is a reason why there are still youtubers who are not publicly supporting this. Every youtuber that relies on money from publishers who pay them to promote their games will have trouble openly supporting SKG.

I'm really curious on how it's going to be implemented. What it means for a game to be "dead". How to test if a game is playable? Is this going to be redundant with GOG? How many games are going to be impacted by this? I'm also a bit scared that publishers are just gonna go fuck it and destroy everything deemed unplayable before any laws are applied.

I know, we'll just release Anita Sarkeesian again. It worked out the last time gamers were rising up.

I'm personally not as optimistic as a moldman, but there needs to be a pushback against enshitiffication, forced online for games that are singleplayer or have sigleplayer modes.

The fucking irony.
Private servers were the backbone of the golden early days you obvious newfag tourist shill.
You must be american, only they think calling everything communism looks smart.

those two retards just lied straight to your face

the goal is for games that end official support to provide ways to play them once they end

as an example, pretend that tf2's official servers were shutting down and you couldn't set up your own servers to still play it with people after that; if this went into law valve would be required to release tools to set up server hosting on the user end once they pull the official ones

>>714159102
>>714158934
It doesn't require companies keep the servers up for any amount of time, or to give up any IP rights

What it would require, though it depends on what language the law, if one is made, uses, would for the game to have an end of life plan that involves either making a built that works offline, or enabling offline play, p2p or LAN multiplayer, or using private servers, or even potentially just providing the community with tools and documentation to try to get it to work themselves

Again, depending on how the law is worded, the requirements could be stricter or looser, but the initiative as it is worded explicitly does not require leaving the servers on or giving source code or relinquishing IP rights, nor would it be retroactive: it would only apply to games made AFTER the hypothetical law is made which itself would have a grace period most likely

>>714159120
This is retarded, it contradicts itself in two paragraphs. To provide a solution for the game to continue working without the developers they need to give out part of their IP. Either the game's data or they have to allow the game to be run with a patch, that needs to be hosted by the developers, without the IP holders getting any money from the game. It won't happen, if this goes through companies will block games in the area.

>>714159258
And who supported development of Concord, nuMarathon, Dustborn, etc? Those pieces of shit came out no matter what, corpos lost some money, but still agenda isn't changing.

>>714159381
>they need to give out part of their IP. Either the game's data

By this logic making patches or releasing a game at all is "giving out parts of the IP", dumbass

By "it doesn't require giving away IP", it means the IP rights aren't being transfered to other parties

I'm glad it's gaining traction and my opinion of normalfags has already been terminally low ever since the coofening, but I'm still a bit disgusted at fucking e-celeb drama being the reason this might be successful.

You know, this remind me of the Microsoft buying Activision....
For some reasons, a massive amount of people appeared out of nowhere to massively shill the acquisition of Acti, even though anyone with a single brain cell would understand how bad the repercussion would be for everyone involved (Microsoft, Acti, Sony, the game industry etc....), yet, they were there all day shilling, spamming and attacking everyone that opposed it.
As soon as the buyout was done, nobody ever talked this way about it, NOT A SINGLE TIME, all those pro Microsoft buying Acti literally disappeared out of nowhere.
And thus, those people, with their propaganda on reddit, 4chan, youtube, twitter etc... played a big part on the perception of the public, that in the end, though this acquisition wouldn't create trouble.

Now we have the "Stop Killing Games" initiative, and guess what, a huge amount of "people" come out of the woodwork to tell you that this initiative is bad, that you need to protect the big corporation that want to gangrape you by every holes and that it will kill all those great live services that you should absolutely not miss and spend all your money on it.

Like cmon, you know who is behind this massive campaign AGAINST this initiative, you know who is paying those bots, wake up fuckers!

>>714159138
Relying on private servers or p2p on a game you PAY for is giving away nothing for free and breaks no kike agreements.
It's how games worked 20 years ago when you weren't even sperms in your golem father's balls.

>>714159304
How would you realize that? I'm curious.

>>714159245
Explain how I lied, this would force companies to release an end of life solution which in some cases would be impossible or infringing on copyrights. You said valve would be forced to release their server host tech, you really think every company will happily do that, and for free so you can play their games without them making any more money from them? You are so naive.

1. I don't care if companies do it happily, if it's the law they have to do it or else be punished and that's all I'm concerned about
2. Releasing server tools to be used by consumers so that they will continue to buy your game after it has been cut off from official support is the opposite of them not making any more money from those games

Legitimate question?
Why should I have to pay taxes to fuel their hedonism?
We should all care, it could be someone you care about. Unchecked drug use affects non-addicts as well. It increases crime and disease which costs more of your tax dollars. Treating addiction like a health condition is a net positive for society, you end up saving more tax dollars with well-funded treatment programs. Instead of having a whole lot of dead people, ruined families and overcrowded prisons, you get a lot of addicts turned into functional members of society.
You’re either retarded, a troll or a psychopath.

>>714159790
>Dude, if they stop supporting their games then they will also stop selling it

>WoW has private servers
You tell me nigger, if an MMO can have private servers made by the community there is no limit to what people can do if they have access. Corporate servers are not needed to support videogames. Corpos need to keep the videogames locked on their servers so they have control and can kill older games in order to force you to pay for their newer ones. It is way easier to kill the old game instead of making sure that the new game is worth the purchase. That's why corpo faggots delist old games right before they start selling remakes/remasters. People already discussed this in previous threads, i think that some of you are intentinally being stupid.

Are you not reading or something? The origin of SKG as a movement was shit like Ubisoft ending support for The Crew, which was an online-only game they pulled the plug on, so people who bought it could literally no longer play it and the game was just bricked data. Ubisoft has gone nowhere. Under SKG, they can either
1. Continue to sell that game but not provide servers once server support ends
2. Stop selling the game but provide tools for users to host servers once server support ends
Which one do you think has more profit involved? Hint: it's not 2. You have time to think.

PirateSoftware too has like 153 years of experience, but it turns out he is just a fraud that talks with his butt.

If the multiplayer mode of a game shuts down, you simply don't take away the license to let people play the single player mode. It's that easy.

CAFE was written by car industry lobbyists to bully small (literally and metaphorically) car makers out of the business, and ban imports.

>>714160447
They better make a game with that possibility in mind or prepare for a lawsuit

>>714160487
sure do, nigger!

>>714160349
the crew was really only targeted because it did at one point have an entirely offline mode that was seemingly patched out, it even fills the map with bot players if your connection is weak or you have a bad nat. there isn't much to the game that actually was online aside from the party aspect and even then it was like 8 players in your instance at max. not a complicated online game

>>714160290
Fortnite can already run on LAN for tournaments tho

>>714160487
>You don't actually want those games
I do in fact want the games i paid for. I PAID FOR THOSE GAMES! I DID NOT PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION!

>>714160367
So long Judas

>>714160570
lol

>>714160487
i had games i loved be closed, i had others i didn't care about get closed too, but even those i didn't care about had people who wished they could still play them.
you have no reason as a gamer to be against stop killing games, at worst you should be indifferent, at best you should be happy about it.

>714160521
keep it up, you're doing a great job, don't stop screaming into the void

>>714160092
it is literally political
it does not matter if it is about fairies, video games or dinosaurs, its place is on /pol/ not here
kill yourself subhuman filth nigger go purchase game on steam or something

>>714160487
I want to curb stomp every single corporate kike

>>714160536
ok so what you're saying is the government does NOT actually force companies to do anything they allow the companies to write the rules and then lackadaisically enforce them when politically convenient.

>>714160563
yeah which makes it an even better example because it's trivial to let people just play it

>>714153905
Hope he makes a video too.

I will never people that see private companies as the evil of the world, when the worst atrocities have been caused by states.
No, corporatism (state + companies working together) is also bad.
A company sells a shitty product, govern me harder daddy, start another war with my taxes.

>>714160487
So?

There's still hope for humanity.

>were not this shill campaign to stop in July?

>>714160680
I actually stopped using Steam after the Conan Exiles fuckup. I am now exclusively on GOG but i still support this initiative since it will be good for all gamers and gaming in general.

>>714160757
>every game is wow-slop

>>714160668

>>714160690
Kys faggot
Corpos have no regards for any art or even human life for that matter. I can't care less about em

>>714160482
it won't, the games industry will kill itself
we've already seen how these retarded giga corps will spend millions making games that nobody wants, just let 'em and don't buy

>>714160379
Stop killing games has nothing to do with that. It is only applicable IF Blizzard shut down WoW sometimes in the future.

>>714160487
>you just want to take a jab at corporations
yes

>>714160825
art is worthless

>>714160668
And what makes it so valid? You're just forcing devs to revive dead games no one cares about anymore because...

>>714160797

>>714160379
>The likes of Bobby Kotick will jump on this idea on no seconds!!
The likes of Bobby Kotick will bend the knee the same way Valve bent the kne, the same way Apple bent the knee. The EU will make all videogame publishers their bitch. God bless!

>>714160817
Why do you have so many problems complying with the law?

>>714160861
Because I want devs to suffer.

>>714160859
You are also worthless
so kill yourself

>>714156182
Sounds comfy.

>>714160817
This. The commies supporting this petition have zero idea how game development works. Oh, but some long irrelevant eceleb supports it so it MUST be valid!

>>714160840
And you think that blizzard ( Activision) will be completely fine and happy that your can play wow without paying them the sub fee?

Is the roach posting in this thread right now, i refuse to believe that anyone except to most Shabbiest of Shabbos goy would get this upset about Pro consumer rights?

>>714160339

This is literally about video games

Do you legitimately think the EU is "based"?

Just comply. Follow the law.

thank god

>>714161060
do you hate consumer rights?

>>714160979
We understand completely. You, I'm afraid, don't understand what goes into making a game. You are forcing devs to do things your way like a communist.

>>714160487
I want both

>>714160690
There's no corporations in chyna?

>>714161034
Time is irrelevant. If I want to play something I should be able to do so whenever I please. Imagine if you weren't able to play Super Mario 64 anymore because it's been three decades.

>>714160976
Anon, you want the gay faggot socialist technocrats of the EU to get involved in video games. What the fuck is wrong with you?
God, /pol/ is a leftist board. You are socialists.

>>714160950
i want everyone at actiblizz to suffer horrible and painful deaths so this just brings us one step closer to that amazing reality

>>714160950
they seem fine with it right now

>>714161017
Stellar Blade is hailed add the biggest success for Sony, etc. it sold 1 million copies on pc which is 80 million in revenue. Meanwhile Nikke makes 250 million every half year.

If EU was actually pro-consumer, they would ban Steam with its casinos.

>>714156182
>this will KILL video games!
>nevermind the fact that the video game industry thrived for decades without engaging in this scummy practice
crazy how i can still boot up my copy of ape escape just fine

>>714161017
And how much are those one time purchases making? Per year, not in total. Go on.

>>714161164
>You are socialists.
You gonna cry about it?

>>714156961

>>714161158
that's the case on steam.

>start mario64.exe
>crash
instead take out Windows 64 machine
>sorry, Steam stopped working on this 20 years ago
>but new PC and come again

>>714161180
This equals to banning video games dingus

>>714161094
It would only affect them after they finish development and would shut down services anyway.

>>714161034
Most games are destroyed by Asian and American companies. And the EU ones that get destroyed are often unpopular. The Crew was just a perfect way to start the campaign because
>it's made by an EU company
>it's popular enough
>the company made The Crew 2 and effectively said players should just buy The Crew 2

>>714161232

>>714161123
I hate the state.
Being upset about a company ruining your purchase is legit, but think one second about all the money the state takes from you and does all manners of bullshit with that you would never voluntarily pay for.

>>714161164
nothing wrong with national socialism

>>714161190
>those one time purchases
what one time purchases?
there are game series, that make a shit ton every year, like Call of Duty.
Fortnite on the other hand is literally free to play, without scams.

and pro-tip: people buy skins to support the game.

>>714161247
Just source your games from GOG like most intelligent people do.

You think the decrepit near bankruptcy AAA like ubishit can? You're really dumb if you think you made a good argument here.

>>714161247
no, that would be pro-customer if this here is pro-customer.

retards buy online DRM slop.
(you). yes, ban that!!!

retards buy on (((Steam)))
(you): nooo, banning that would be cruel and anti-customer!!

>>714161310
You think Cod makes money from the actual price of the main game?

>>714161305
State would do that with or without my input why shouldn't i use it in my favour for once

>>714161371
they made a shit ton, but of course they added VALVE Battle passes and VALVE microtransaction cosmetics anyway.

>>714161309
Lmao, it failed.
>but this time my special snowflake type of socialism will work!
Same argument as any leftist.

Reminder to make yourself a Xitter account so we can spam "#stopkillinggames" tomorrow.

>>714160487
I play a lot of coop games. Most of them aren't really at risk to get killed when the devs move on from them but sooner or later one might and I'd prefer to have assurance it'll be handled properly.

That's the exact reason bro, Google is too big of a company so stopping their service in the area was worse for them. Now what about those small companies that can make 100s of millions in china and USA but make only a few tens in eu?

>>714161290
>Bbbut then studio would've had to pay for more storage
They don't. They just have to make an instrument to host private servers. THAT'S ALL WHAT GAMERS WANT.

>>714161247
GOG exists. Steam is not the only plase with videogames. Also all games on GOG already comply with the SKG goals.

>>714161158
>dig your N64 out of closet
>it doesn't turn on because it just died after 30 years
>you can't buy a new console because they are no longer produced
And that's it.
Yes, Mario was Super Mario 64 is available through emulation and re-releases, but your original cartridge is worthless. It was always common to expect that the games would not last forever.

>>714161510
Steam will stop working on Windows 11.
Please get a Windows 12 subscription now and a new PC.

Do you understand that it's not about The Crew? The Crew is only a famous example, you idiot.

>>714160950
Don't shut down the game then.

>game is old and uses some old tech
>new windows version stops using that tech which means the game can't be run anymore
>company now has to start development on this game released 20 years ago or else they will get fucked in the ass

Lmao

>>714161547
>>it doesn't turn on because it just died after 30 years
>it was real in my mind
when will my nes die?
another 2 years?

>>714161434
I will.

>>714161515
Studios don't need to host fuckin anything, they would just need to release the files needed to host a server on literally anything that can host files for free and then be done with it. People would back that shit up and host it for them. The studios literally don't need to do anything but provide the files needed to keep playing the game, and this is only after the devs officially decide they are totally done with the game and want to wash their hands of it. There's no reason not to do this.

>>714161034
I can still play videgames i bought in the 90s. Kill yourself.

>>714161547
Works on my machine

Karate chop corpos in half. Curb stomp pregnant non-human corpos. Trap corpos in quicksand. Crush corpos in the trash compactor. Liquefy corpos in a vat of acid. Eat corpos. Dissect corpos. Exterminate corpos in the gas chamber. Stomp corpo skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate corpos in the oven. Lobotomize corpos. Mandatory abortions for corpos. Grind corpo fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown corpos in fried chicken grease. Vaporize corpos with anti-matter. Kick old corpos down the stairs. Feed corpos to alligators. Slice corpos with a katana.Shoot corpos and dump them in filthy ditches. Run over corpos with a combine harvester.Drink a corpos milkshake. Beat corpos to death with dildos. Put rocks in corpo shoes. Break corpos on the wheel. Bury corpos alive. Shrink corpos with a shrink ray and throw them into anthills. Pull off corpo fingernails with pliers. Hit corpos in the testicles with a sledgehammer. Drown corpos in their own urine. Hang corpos by their own entrails. Throw napalm into corpo daycares.

I was talking about my example where Wb guys burned fuck ton of art to make space for something else

>>714161681
>it wont be retroactive
I think that it depends and might apply to games that are still being sold even if they were developed before the initiative.

>>714161626
gabe stopped that from happening.

>>714161551
windows?

>>714161605
Building the game with built-in killswitch of phoning home DRM /= Microshart being a nigger.

fuck that
also this thread literally says that normies are retarded, therefore we should ban Steam too.

weird that this petition cries about "games", not about FUCKING STEAM ONLINE DRM.

Oh my god... It a famous EXAMPLE.

>it is literally political
It's political ABOUT video games, therefore, it matter in a VIDEO GAME BOARD.
It's not even an "out of line" political subject (like dei and shit), but actually a political subject that impact the video game industry as a whole, so it does matter here.

>>714161732
yes, that's the plan
Run it forever, hand it over to community, or quit the EU market. Pick one

>>714161432
then there surely is no harm in trying it again :^)

>>714161835
It's been synonymous with "bad" for so long people literally just use it like that.

irrelevant, no one cares

>>714161905
nothing political.
this is commie shit trying to force devs to dev a certain way. that's evil.

Depending on the game EU is like 25-50% of the market.
CEO's regularly get axed because profit INCREASED too little and you think they're going to convince investors to LOSE 25-50% out of some butthurt indignation instead of complying?
Bro who's the naïve one here?
