tl;dr welfare recipients are trying to get the EU government to force people to make things for them, for free

this is entirely consistent with their ideology and previous behavior, and should come as no surprise to anybody

however, due to their dependent status and lack of political or financial backing or clout, it is more than likely the movement will go nowhere even if they get enough signatures for EU review

one of the things that people have to show when bringing something like this to the table, is that it has a serious impact on a great number of people, and considering what they decided to use as their examples for their impact statements, it's going to be a hard thing to actually prove

they will use examples like usb-c and steam refunds (started by autsralia first btw), but those broadly affect people, in this case they could only find a handful of individuals and a couple of truly shitty old games nobody ever cared about, as examples of why end of service for an online game is a bad thing

Left wants companies to do their job and make games, not services. Singleplayer game tied to online? Not allowed anymore. Online game shut down just so the company can make you buy next year's version? Not allowed anymore. Game you liked that a soulless corporation turned off because it wasn't making $101,000 a month? Not allowed anymore. Games must have end of life policies in place to continue letting players play the game they bought.

The right (and shitters in this thread) want the status quo. They want companies to own your 'product' and hold licenses over your head. They like it and want it to continue.

This post is funny, because the people who will defend the status quo will use the status quo itself as their defense, and they will be correct, because ridiculously huge millions of people prove every year that they want and are willing to pay for the GAAS slop.

They will point to this fact, that many more millions of people enjoy live service games and are unbothered by them ending someday, and knowing that they will die does not impede their enjoyment or willingness to spend.

It will be impossible for skiggers to show a negative impact in this environment of willing consumers, who are not experiencing anything resembling distress. Their tiny minority of deranged retards who want to play a 10 year old racing game so badly they bothered the EU, will be sent packing.

He used to call himself Maldavius Figtree so looking at it that way Thor is a step up.

The people who tell you it's unfeasable are stupid. All you really need to do to meet your obligations as a publisher of an online game is to simply not hardcode in the address the game uses to connect to your servers. Store in an ini or txt.
Then if people care/are skilled enough they will be able to make a server. Putting out dedicated server files is unnecessary, as you can(and should) consider those trade secrets as a live service publisher.

Private servers require people to maintain them
People require money to maintain them
Donations used for anything other than server maintenance instantly constitute copyright infringement.
Copyright infringement must be punished or a company risks losing their copyright.

Do you really think it is feasible for anyone to constantly monitor every private server to make sure money is being spent only for server maintenance? Even that can constitute potential copyright infringement. It is not even the fault of the corporations, because if you let a small server get away with it a larger, more jewish corporation can come in and use that as evidence that you're no longer enforcing copyright and thus have given it up.

>>714212402

And the big argument status quo, pro corpo use, outside of intentionally distorting what SKG is, is a rehash of why you can't raise taxes on the rich and need to keep dumping incentives on them. Because if game publishers can't just shut off games on a whim, they'll just pack up and stop making games.

it's a waste of time. SKG only exists because Ross willingly purchased garbage live-service ubislop (The Crew), which ended up being shit and got shut down(surprise, surprise). Now he wants the EU government to force every studio, including broke indie devs, to waste dev resources supporting their game after a hypothetical shutdown.
None of this would be an issue if people didn't buy live-service slop.

>>714211617
Hi Thor

I'm opposed to SKG because I don't want europoors to have things. I want them to stay europoor.

This might affect me personally in a minor way, but knowing a europoor is also affected negatively turns it into a net benefit for me.

>>714211876
How many small companies are making live service games in the first place? Seems like any company that can afford to invest in live service infrastructure and associated server costs in the first place could also afford to come up with a plan for when they don't want to pay for that shit anymore.

>>714212721
Well you should care, because it effects the consumer even if negatively. You have to change copyright laws for it to be feasible.

It's a subscription-based game, meaning it actually gives the player a clear indication of when service ends - at the same time their subscription ends. In other words, it already complies with the law.

That's not at all what it's about. If its implemented no support from devs is required to keep games running. It's only in the current environment where some devs or publishers choose to make the ability to play a game dependent on their support.

As a modestly-informed consumer, I'd lean with Ross for two sincere reasons:
>I want the outcome where products and services I enjoyed aren't completely killed
Look at Blacklight Retribution on PC as an example. Had an account with tons of cool, exclusive things, but the game shut down, so I couldn't play it or use any of my things. At best, there was the console version.
>Thor is a narcissistic asshole
I just don't like or respect him. He's got such an inflated ego that he can't take accountability or apologize when he fucks up or harms other people. All he'll do is reframe things to put himself in the best possible light while shifting blame (look at the OnlyFangs raid incident as an example). Even if I didn't find him to be a prick to others, he lacks the maturity and consideration for others to suggest to me that his intentions are pure and sincere.

By the way, to the homosexuals praising Thor for his speech, his voice is well known to be bullshit filled with filters. Look up vids of his real voice on YT and you'll see multiple examples of him at public speaking events.

>>714212567
Doesn't matter what it ends up looking like. The people should be free to continue using their purchase in whatever way they want if official service is discontinued.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the EU moves at turtle speed and if a company wants to stop people from accessing their stuff they'll just use one of the million holes this thing has. I agree with the sentiment, but this will fail.

Once the End of Services reaches its date, the company is no longer responsible for damages and it is up to the customer to accept the risk of use, just as any open source software provider indicates in its user license since the 80s.

It's like with job security: in the US, you're "at-will", which means your boss can throw you out at moment's notice for no reason and there's nothing you can do about it. In the EU there's a bunch of mandatory steps that make process more involved.
Games right now use the US model: any and all controll lies with publisher. You spent $100,000 on your diablo character or waifu collections? Don't care, it's all gone.
SKG wants something akin to the EU model where weaker party is protected in various ways. There's not a single fixed demand to provide servers forever, just like you aren't unfireable in the EU. But there needs to a wind-down procedure that attempts to preserve the purchase value, or you've gotta be honest and say that the player is never actually "buying" anything.

>>714213514
It's generally going to be a pretty trivial amount of time and money for something that WILL be very relevant when they decide to end service. If that's somehow unfeasible, then maybe there was an issue with how your live service features were structured in the first place.

>>714211527 (OP)
There are 2 major issues.

First and probably more hot button, is the burden. Keeping and maintaining a live service game open even in a skeleton state has costs and offlining such a game has non-trivial development costs. This is prohibitive on smaller studios whose experimental titles and big budget forays may fail spectacularly and leave them with a dead game they're forced to run. This issue's most realistic solution is instead of forcing the original developers to "save" the game, they just need to release the source code and leave it open to volunteers to do so in their place.

This opens up the second issue which is a bigger can of worms. This is essentially a forfeiture of your control and rights to the game. While most games end up truly dead and abandoned with rights lost to limbo, the current system leaves room for the original creators to come back and try to revive something. This chance is miniscule, but there are rare examples of old games getting revived. A system where developers automatically forfeit control of an asset if they choose to discontinue service is frightening for the developer. The costs and incentives such a system would produce are unpredictable. Most likely a sharp decrease in live service games which a lot of people would prefer. The rights afforded to "volunteers" who take over old games may allow them to profit and that itself might cause extreme complications as well. However this is all theoretical and not a judgement that can be determined without real hindsight.

As a consumer, there is almost no reason for you to not desire games not dying. As a company, the right to end a game is desirable and useful. The EU dur to being extremely consumer rights focused is likely to rule in favor of saving games. However whatever act or bill they pass to support it will likely be threadbare as the systematic processes to ensure a game continues are non-existent currently.

Implementing a system where the ability to play a game requires some sort of online interaction with the devs also costs them time and money, probably a lot more than developing an end of life plan would. Not to mention that running the infrastructure also costs the devs money and is the primary reason why things end up being shut down forever.

>>714212524
This code is a standin for a code that look both like his code and yandev code (pic related).

doesn't matter who's right or wrong - fact of the matter is that you sign a EULA that states you own absofruitly nothing; you're purchasing a license and not goods, so it doesn't matter. they can revoke the license at any time, they can shut down the game at any time - and you agreed to it
only response you will get from governmental bodies is that what they're doing is not illegal, but if you still believe it to be, then you should take it up with the courts

>meaning it actually gives the player a clear indication of when service ends
Except it doesn't. Your conflating subscription end with service end.
One relates to the player specifically, one refers to the game as a whole. The latter is what this whole thing is about otherwise there would be no issue.

Which it wouldn't.

unironically brownoid resort to faking their voice to become more appealing. Just like retards calling themselves "Thor". Ur just mad you'll never pass

>>714214628
Pretty much. ToS agreements are basically you acknowledging that the devs can do whatever they want listed within them, but if they break consumer or personal rights then it can be challenged. The opposite is also true though, as if nothing is infringed upon then it's destined to fail, which shutting down their own servers falls into.

Warhammer Return of Reckoning could be printing money for EA right now. Now imagine how much more popular it would've been if the RoR team didn't have to spend years reverse engineering the game to get it up and running again.

His code is like a gigantic mass of tangled spaghetti that takes the whole day to find the specific wire he needs instead of having everything neatly sorted, so it's a decade or more of work that is mostly seeking shit in the pile.

SKG is all about getting it FOR FREE.

>>714214906
Of course you would know that

>>714215113
No it isn't. Leaving the game in a playable state includes transferring service to another provider.

>>714213248
>This isn't real right?

>>714214794
From the point of view of the law, renting or subscribing means the customer gets told clearly when *their* service ends. So if you're subscribing to a game you can only expect access as long as you keep paying. If you *buy* a game, however, the reasonable expectation is that you get to keep it forever - the same as if you buy a t-shirt. That's the whole point of STK: to get a law put in place to establish ownership over games *you've purchased*. Subscription-based games are exempt from SKG's initiative

>>714214135
Yeah nigga that's why we want a law to change that.

Ross needs to shave that shit off

>>714215254
I don't even want a law changing that specifically. Great if it happens but I just want the gray area to state for the record what is legal for companies to do and what isn't.
A multi billion dollar industry shouldn't operate within gray areas.

>>714215116
Yeah I'm speaking with a street shitter rn. U mad your faggot eceleb is a pussy?

I don't think shutting down servers counts as directly causing harm, it's not direct exploitation, however if I was gonna find a compromise between companies and courts then I'd make it so live service games all have a monthly subscription from now on, you're guaranteed to have access to the game for 1 month, nothing is guaranteed beyond that, if the game shuts down during your subscription you get a refund, and every problem is solved, you can't find a fault with this, otherwise what, if you buy a monthly pass to a gym then the gym needs to have end of life plans for you? nah a gym pass guarantees you 1 month of access to the gym, if the gym shuts down during your subscription you get a refund, and that's all there is to it, companies would probably even like that, like instead of having f2p games you have a monthly 10 cents subscription, it'll kill botting since spending 0 dollars for 1000 bots and spending 100 dollars for 1000 bots is a big difference

Isn't that just because there's a fuckload of ragebait threads (including this one)?

>>714215540
Ross said reddit was deleting threads left and right. They just don't do it anymore because big youtubers picked up the topic

it is impressive pirate both managed to completely kill the momentum of this but then also completely get it back into overdrive just because he is that unlikable as a person.

>>714215730
