This is the problem SKG is trying to solve >make big bet on a live service game >make it at a loss to try and get lots of players >once you get a lot of players farm the whales with microtransations >99% of the time you don't get any players and you game is niche, your project gets canned and the servers are shut off, rendering the game unplayable
If this silicon valley startup inspired strategy becomes illegal then what will happen is that companies will actually be LESS risky in what kind of games they publish. Not more.
That being said it may be worth it for artistic preservation, that's for the people to decide.
ask one of these faggots what game they played was killed and they suddenly go silent because what is this shit about? People pretending Darkspore or The Crew were good? Most of them didn't hear about the fucking things
>>714193942 >talking about having the right to host private servers? GO BACK TO /POL/ CHUD
Sorry, we'll post a Nintendo cockmunching/Gacha trash AGP tranny ERP/AI jeet slopping/xitter screenshot culture war thread next time. >>714193872 (OP)
Holy shit, I think there's still hope. 280k more signatures in a month can easily be achieved. >>714194245 >devs and publishers will [STOP BEING LAZY RETARDED FUCKS] if skg succeeds
why is this a bad thing?

Unfortunately video games have been off-topic on /v/ since 2014, Something about preserving video games? fuck off to /pol/. GG permanently scarred this board, and that was before Moot sold.
The initiative is over. You will need at least 10k signatures per day for the next 30 days to get this through. You'll get a minor bmp now but pirate is right. The initiative has failed.

No because literally all they have to do is keep a server running for pennies or a single release of the necessary server software and assets to run what has been sold so far.

From what I read on the website, it's only after it reaches 1000000 that they will start verifying signatures. I wonder then how much of those are real.
Though maybe I'm retarded and it's not how it works.
I did my part and signed anyway.

they've managed to keep people surprisingly unaware of them, leto didn't even get noticed by places like KF until recently but once they started digging they found a lot

Games that use any sort of online DRM would be required by law to remove said DRM once the developer no longer wants to keep the server running, as they would otherwise be stealing the product you bought from you and thus breaking the proposed law.

Good. Did they ever translate this back when it was first put forward? I'd guess the language barriers would be a big Issue of having it be seen by the right people.
