it was like a day ago when I took this and now its 80k higher lmao. the only chance antis have now is if the law turns out to be jewish subersion or something. To be honest 4chan mods not nuking these threads has me mildly worried. shill meter isn't real. good ideas dont get bombarded with (you)s you get a 1 week ban for posting them instead. still I dont care about the big fish in this industry enough after so many years of their shit that I'm willing to just wait to see what EU has in store in it's next commie shilling. maybe they'll actually make it illegal for immigrants to rape if they want to be the gigachad copium op is posting.

Yup. I signed, girlfriend signed and shared with as many people as I could.

Lmao the absolute state.

Man for a moment I was wondering where the SKG thread is and if the tranny janny had nuked all of them again.
That said, do we have any up-to-date numbers from twitter already?

>Starting to trend on Twitter
It's working.

How many points will be invalid?

bestie we're not on twitter...

If a company goes bankrupt and doesn’t release an update to allow offline play, who can you sue once the company is gone?

yes, worst case scenario publishers will stop releasing games in the EU so I can stop playing vidya and focus on going to the gym and getting bitches or whatever 30 y/o dudes do

>>714250921 (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.

>we don't have the legal infrastructure
Lmao. EKS DEE even. They don't have the legal infrastructure to develop a single player game that does not require an online connection.
I really want to know how old these pretend devs are. You know, since introducing an always online requirement into a game is actually more work compared to what games 20 years ago did. Which was just be single player, with an online component if the players want to play multiplayer.
Hell, I would even imagine having an always online REQUIRED component to a game, requires a better legal infrastructure. Since you have to make sure to conform to data security laws in different countries.

>>714250921 (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?

>>714251590
absolutely not. its been filled with eu trying to gaslight alphoomers into thinking theyre based for this initiative. my guess is someone on their social outreach team paid 4chan to stop nuking these threads so they can post gigachad memes.
EU is not our friend just because they MIGHT do 1 right thing in 200k more signatures

>>714251749
that's a lot of words

It's a pasta anyway

>>714250921 (OP)
yeah once a day

>>714250921 (OP)
Of course. I signed as soon as the petition started. I don't even care or heard about that racing game, I just don't like Ubisoft.

>>714251294
>current times are shit companies are fucking over everyone
>you can't expect them to just stop fucking over everyone we have to keep this shit status quo

I am split. Either they are so buckbroken, that they do not realize they refuse to even imagine that things could be better.
Or they might be semitic shills, who can't imagine ownership of products people buy, and are afraid that a movement like right to repair pops up in the software space and sticks around.

what is there to even refute? that entire post is "this is gonna happen because i think it's gonna happen" with zero proof whatsoever. you don't refute schizobabble

>>714250921 (OP)
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.

If you want games to stay alive then KEEP PAYING FOR VIDEOGAMES you fucking losers

>>714250995
Ubisoft has all but moved almost all production to India and Montreal (India 2)
they are a net negative on the EU job market

>>714250995
>This will damage Ubisoft
Ubisoft damages itself way more. SKG might actually save Ubisoft since it will prevent Ubisoft CEOs from enacting stupid moves like killing the videogames people paid for and generating massive hate by consumers.
>Ubisoft tries to kill itself with hyper anticonsumer moves
>EU forces them to be more pro consumer and Ubisoft now has to make better games and take into account consumer rights

I know I've started to lurk too long when I can recognize every copypasta that these threads generate.

>>714251849
is this a new copypasta?

>>714251749
so you say the entire games industry gets fucked over by government intervention?
Why can I only sign once?

>They will simply stop selling in the EU
Let's do some simple math.
Rounded down, the EU has a population of 449 million people.
Let's say a grand total of 2% of that is interested in buying a game. An extremely lowball estimate.
0,02 x 449.000.000 = 8.980.000 customers
Each of these will be paying 60 euros for this game
8.980.000 x 60 = 538.800.000 euros profit
So the choices for a videogame company CEO are:
>Make your game compliant with EU law
>Get voted out by the board because you left five hundred million worth of profit lying on the sidewalk.
They'll comply. The power in companies lies in their ability to move manufacturing somewhere else and take a bunch of jobs with them. They will bend over sideways and agree to no lube from the government before they'll start pulling out of entire markets.

>>714251764
This is a citizen initiative
The EU itself did not start it and only will look at it if enough people vote

>>714251749
It's consumer advocacy. You are fear mongering without any specific trajectory of what you are afraid Will happen.

>>714251182
Tumblr and 4chan were always the sides of the same coin, I like it a lot.

>>714251749
>You know the consequences of inviting the government to intervene in the video games
Yep.
The industry had decades to show they can self regulate.
They did not. They used "self regulation" as an excuse to cros literally every line they could think off. From introducing gambling to children, to eroding ownership, to leaking user data multiple times, you even had companies like sony remove purchased products from peoples accounts.

You had time to do literally anything positive for the consumers. Now the consumers actually had enough and are asking for the government to interfere.

>>714251785
There is nothing to refute. There is no statement there besides "government might intervene now". Which... yeah that is the point of this petition. The rest is just trying to fearmonger with vagueposting.
>guys something super bad is going to happen if this goes trough
>no ofc I can't say what
>no I can't really specify anything
>trust me guys, its just bad for you
As I said, nothing to refute there.

anon, you don't have to do this, everyone know this.
this is the same screech as with when EU mandated cellular roaming has to be cheap within the EU, and every single fucking carrier screeched that "it's gonna kill cellular", "customers are gonna pay so much more" and all that corpobablbe, and you know what happened?
nothing.
absolutely nothing happened.
every time someone screeches that "things are gonna get worse for the consumer!" when some regulation is about to be passed, they're nothing more than a corpo shill. it's all a fucking sham.

>>714251893
Shalom fellow videogame developer.
>Whoever makes the game should be able to do with it as they damned please.
Correct. However, when you sell a product, you should forfeit that product to whoever purchased it. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Turns out it's just cheaper to enforce the superior standard on everyone, Americans included. Who knew.

>>714251184
So why are people saying to post "#stopkillinggames" on twatter?

>>714250921 (OP)
why are chuddies going commie?

So how many of the signatures do you think are fake/invalid? I'm kind of dooming in this department a bit because of how stupidly huge (and a bit suspicious) the growth has been this past week. I think that like 300k or so of them are fake

to be fair Apple fucked over european customers by nerfing their ai features as petty revenge for that entire thing

>>714251228
What company? The devs or the publisher?
In the case of both going down, ideally they'd already have thought of how they'll be handling the EOS-scenario for their games and they could just push that solution out.

In any case, it's pointless to speculate as the initiative is asking if the video game industry is trampling over the rights of consumers and for legislation to prevent it. It is not for us to present a completed draft of legislation that covers every scenario.

>>714252271
Did you try to sign?
Considering it requires an ID from the country you are signing from. I doubt many if any at all.

>>714252073
Try to understand, the posters you're replying to are american. To them, all regulation is bad, no matter how beneficial. They literally fought against government regulation to ban heavy metals in foodstuff.

>>714252271
what evidence do you have signatures can be faked

>>714251627
Of course it's realistic, but it's going in the wrong direction. It's also realistic for an urban center to become more violent.

>>714252328
Apple has AI? I thought they were too incompetent to build one

>>714252219
>Toronto
that would be London

All this votes in such a short time is completely unnatural, either people are signing multiple times or non-EU citizens are sending false information and signing it too.

Either way, half of the signatures will be invallidated after the verification and all this effort will have been for nothing.

Why bother signing something so useless?

>>714250995
I already signed it, anon, you don't have to sell it to me

So I was browsing the recently released videos of a local eceleb I sometimes watch that covers vidya news. Turns out he made a video on Stop Killing Games 6 days ago but:
>he's reading an article that was written just after Ross' video saying it's pretty much over for the initiative
>he says it's a petition
>3/4th of the comments are "why have we never heard of this ?" and not planning to sign since the article says it's pretty much over + "petitions never work"

The owner of the company.
Companies don't go down over night. In a case like this, the company would go into liquidation, or is bought by another company.
2 options. Pay the fines when acquiring it, or 2 reduce potential legal fees by having the new owner deploy the EOL patch.
Since no laws in the EU are retroactive, this is also a very odd scenario you are making up. Since this would imply that this supposed game company started developing a game knowingly in conflict with this supposed EU law. The whole point is that the games should be design with this in mind. And deploying a patch you have prepared is trivial on nearly all storefronts. Yes, even on consoles, you can probably get the patch verified in less than a day and deploy it.

I assume around 20% are fake. The initiative would need at least 1.3M signatures to actually pass.

For vidya its 4x smaller compared to the US market.

>>714250995
Trolling aside this might unironically be Ubishit's ticket out - they can complain to the EU about this being unfair to them and in turn it hurting the EU/French economy. Volkswagen lobbies to EU/Germany all the time too.

>>714252637
>Ubisoft is huge for France
Ubisoft is a leech in every country its in. Its subsidized no matter where they have their offices. At this point they are not even a videgame company anymore. They are a professional subsidy leech.
>Ubisoft receives significant public aid in France, primarily through the "crédit d'impôt jeux vidéo" (CIJV), a video game tax credit. For the 12 months ending March 2024, Ubisoft received €38.4 million (approximately $43.2 million) in public aid in France. The CIJV, introduced in the late 2000s, allows for a tax break on 30% of production expenses, capped at €6 million annually. Ubisoft executives have expressed interest in expanding this program, even as some discussions in France are considering changes.
>estimates suggest Ubisoft has received over a billion Canadian dollars in tax credits and subsidies since 2005

Ubisoft dying in the EU would be a net positive.

>>714252415
And 20% of those countries are not the ones that have seen a significant rise in signatures.

Every time someone complains about this shit they really don't know what they're talking about. Not everything needs to be regulated, sometimes the EU goes to far like with cucumbers which they walked back on in less than a month, but if they do it it's more often than not beneficial for the people.

>>714252801
Considering the fact that some people are willing to spam CP, botting is a possibility since it could invalidate it and people might stop signing once it reaches 1mil. It's also possible some non-EU people are signing hoping it won't get noticed.

Imagine if it hits 1 million votes on the 4th

is this movement just one huge middle finger to Ubisoft for what they did to "The Crew"?

There's nothing stopping you from setting up your own servers. Except the government threatening to come rape you to death for violating IP.
And this is perhaps the most benign and insignificant damage the state does with IP law.

there are too many vested interests in keeping current IP laws the way they are

I signed last year already, but I'm 50/50 on whether or not I want it to actually pass, because there's no telling if the EU is going to botch this and just do something retarded and/or useless like the bottlecap incident.

Plus I'm a dev in addition to being a gamer, so I'm in the splash zone no matter how you slice this situation. Either way, I hope whatever happens is more good than bad.

Nah, it just stops them from bricking game 1 by pulling the plug on the servers so you have to buy game 2 (now with 9000% more microtransactions). Insted you can run your own game 1 server.

How did Russia become the subject of this thread? as in the EU is some entity that they apparently oppose? the politburo in Moscow pioneered the socialist eurocrat state known as the European Union. If anything Moscow's foothold in Brussels was there from day one. The goal was always similar to what today's Russians politicians like Dmitry Medvedev harp on about about like a United Europe from Libson to Vladivostok. That's what marxist Mikhail Gorbachev wanted and so to did all of the 'former' soviet states.

Can I release an update to completely fuck up balancing and THEN release server binaries, making the game permanently unfun even if it's technically "functional"? What about making the game run at 0.0000001 FPS, or confining the player to a 1x1x1 box to do nothing in?

GDP is a rough estimation of overall productive capacity because it has a strong positive correlation with other factors of development. However, it isn't a perfect measure because tax havens also have high GDPs despite not having large productive capacity. Ubislop not being able to brick games that consumers already purchased (or just having to put a sticker on the box warning that it's just a licence) isn't going to help the overall GDP or productive capacity in general.

They were politburo minutes.

I bought Quake 3 in 1999 and I can still play it. I can make a server and set up online with other people.
It's crazy this isn't the norm anymore.
Devs and publishers have become so complacent and lazy that I wouldn't mind if they were forced to release the source codes for all games they ever developed and then disband for good. It's not like they can make anything good anymore since most talented people left, and we can at least salvage the things that are worth something.
Fuck these greedy cunts, I wish for nothing but their destruction for the sake of culture, art and media preservation.

you could have just phrased it that way, we truly live in an uncivil environment lel

>>714255750
It's 788 out of 1200. You need more than 1 mil to account for invalid signatures.

>>714255625
anyone that actualy does any dev work is aware of the fact that all this "nooo it's imposssible to code this in!" is actual corpo shill screeching, nothing more.
these things are almost always trivial to implement. hell, most of these games don't even have to program it, they can just download a pirated exe

Reminder that this will also affect gachas - the EU is a huge source of gacha revenue, depending on the game anywhere from 20% to 40% of total revenue for some games.

Also even though Ross claims/wants it to only affect new games, odds are it'll affect existing games if they continue to operate past a certain date lmao

A botting operation of that scale would've been obviously detected and triggered DDOS protection. 200k+ unique visits to a single website doing a massive amount of backend calls in a short period is far more strain than you think.

>>714255905

they verify the signatures AFTER the collection period has ended. you can make up shit but it is likely to be rejected by the respective government verifying if they choose to do an exhaustive check instead of random checks

>>714255972
I highly doubt even 100k are fake. Not a single eu campaign has ever been thrown out for fake votes. It's kind of hard to fake too. It's mostly people typing their address in wrong but using the correct id number

See >>714252630

I guess people want to insulate from an even worse case scenario where 15% of signatures are fake.

>>714255963
I genuinely don't get why some gachas don't do what the Megaman gacha did and just package it together as a cheaper title game with all the non-collab content. I guarantee they can find a company to do it for them in exchange for a cut of the action, especially for licensed stuff.

Like fuck, Nier Reincarnation would sell as is for $40 easy, maybe add a little bit more content.

>>714255976
True, but there's a lot of gachas that have legs and are still going strong 5 to 10 years later, and even then it affecting new gachas would own.

How thorough is the verification process? Do we know that?

Imagine you're a company who makes yearly releases of, for example a sports game, let's call it Badminton '20 for brevity.
You make it every year and also pump it full of microtransactions and other psychological tricks too so customers spend as much money as possible. Then you make Badminton '21 that isn't actually different from the previous one, but now you have to buy all those microtransactions again to be "competitive" in its online modes, besides buying the $60+ box price. Then you wait a year and make Badminton '22 and so on. Meanwhile you kill the servers for Badminton '21 and '20 after two-three years of its release so players who want to play online can only play the latest version.

Suddenly, you catch wind of an initiative with the possibility of government regulation that would force you to make games that can be played indefinitely in some form after you end support and shut down the official servers.
Out of the blue, you get an existential risk as customers may not move on from Badminton '27 to '28 because it's a better game than '28 and they already have all the microtransactions in that game so they'll just play that.
Uh oh, do we actually have to put in effort to make BETTER GAMES?
Do you bow and submit to a danger that will cut into your (arguably evil) money making scheme or do you just tell your interns to oppose and sabotage this initiative at no additional cost?

I think the answer speaks for itself.

You wouldn't need to keep your game functional in these scenarios:
1. Have a clearly visible label that says "This game will stop functioning after 2035". Even if it's a one-time purchase, it would be considered a service with a visibly clear planned end date.
2. Make your game an actual live service game. As in, charge €1-€5/month for it.
3. Make a simple offline mode that's there from the start, but have it missing 80% of features. At that point you could argue that the game is "reasonably playable". For example, imagine a League of Legends offline mode where you're just playing with bots and only have 20 champions available.
