Unironically yes. Smaller companies who are forced to comply to this inane agreement will have to bend over backwards and go bankrupt in the time it takes to hear back from the government, rather than using those resources making a second game.

I'm convinced eurocucks are unable to do anything unless they're tyrannic government approves it.

This isn't gamergate. It's not about "journalistic integrity" or some shit, it's about preserving online video games which is inherently on-topic for this board. Stop simping for companies that hate you.

Whats your guys favorite ragebait argument so far?

Mine is that Ross did all this for clicks and views

>>714276971
ah yes, the small companies making always online games that can afford to pay the server costs and maintenance personnel but wouldn't be able to afford patching the game when they decide to move on from it

every time someone tries to push for pro customer legislation some shill belches "b-b-b-but what about the small companies???"when it's clear the vast majority of always online games are developed by ultra rich companies anyway

work on your talking points, shill

So why can't they validate as they come in? Surely they're not hand counting these things, right? Why not just run them through whatever authentication program they have now?

I was thinking that every company would just implement the last one, just put a monthly subscription in every live service game which clearly says that it just allows you access to the game for 1 month, there's nothing you can do if they just start doing that lol

It's possible companies would make everything subscription based, but I doubt it. There's very few games that can get away with it, even a token amount is a barrier to entry.

Hope it will be worth it to finally feel a tiny modicum of power for once in your fat NEET lives.
Yeah, you’re totally trolling the games industry epic style by signing. Congrats, I’m sure mommy is very proud of you.

This entire thing is stupid. People need to stop thinking of live service games as something they own. It's a ticket to the theater, or disneyland or whatever the fuck you want, but you own nothing and it makes no sense to force developers to have a "end of life support"

Just don't fucking play them or spend money on them if you don't want that type of game

Also it's funny how this whole thing is more about trashing PirateSoftware than the initiative itself. Every single article or thread or post or tweet about this initiative has a picture of PirateSoftware

There are a lot of people who unironically need the online connectivity, official content drip and game expanding over time to consider the game wort their time. Games that just come out and are finished like that are dead games to them. If they got no post-launch support corporate curated updates lined up in the future, their excitement dies.

Again, just don't fucking spend on it. I played WoW for like 4 years. Do I care if the game stop working tomorrow? No

There is a massive difference between asking a developer to take their existing game, that may have a weird serve side infrastructure and asking them to make the server side deployable after they shut down the official servers. That may take some effort, not a monumental ammount, but some.
If you're starting a project right now, and you know that eventually you'll need those deliverables, it's extremely easy to make your project have that property.
In fact, I'd argue that this incentivizes good programming practices.

Shut the fuck up, retard. Go read what the initiative page says and watch Jason's reaction video. Ross's video titled

Then take a step back and re-evaluate other idols you have placed on a pedestal.

Still a win. They're gonna have to clearly label it as a service and not as a good, all laws on services will apply and they can't sell microtransactions any more because skins or special characters or whatnot are sold as goods, not services.

This initiative will not do anything good. Even if the EU does something, it wont be of any help to the fact that Valve screwed over the artifact fabase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices, which EU still hasnt punished them for.

It was literally impossible. It's also impossible for games to be developed or tested at all by developers. There's no such thing as test builds or offline builds. Once you start devving, it's all online and simply can't be undone.

Oh really? Here's what I would do if I was a company if I wanted to make things worse for you, no need for a monthly subscription to access the game but the skins and other microtransactions only last a limited time, if you buy a skin it clearly says that you can only access it for 1, 3, 6 months, and then you have to renew the subscription if you want to keep using the skin, now you can't complain, the skin clearly says that you can only use it for 1 month, none of your gripes are resolved and everything is worse for the consumer now

how would single player games be the ones that are affected? I thought this was about MMOs and shit that go offline, what does Stop Peeing in the Shower or whatever have to do with a physical copy of Dark Cloud 2? In my estimation, single player games that require a connection just to play the regular sp content are pretty rare, I think even that shitty Avengers game lets you do story mode offline

>>714281182
Yes that's what makes it scummy. They didn't explicitly tell me what the fucking additional bullshit was and I don't want to do that and now I also have to return it? If I knew before I wouldn't have bought it or signed up.

>>714280130

>>714279257
>>714281108
it's not bait, he's a literal nepo baby and industry shill

>>714276051
It targets:
>single player always online
For obvious reasons
>live service games
Specifically via microtransactions: purchases made in the game which are being destroyed at end of service.
>MMOs
for the same reason as above

Single player, however, is the only really strong case and it isn't expected that live service will get hit with the microtransaction "gotcha"

>>714280813
People always say this but forget that any minor amount of development cost this shit will take to implement is infinitely less than losing 100% of their revenue from one of the largest markets in the world.

Companies don't even pull out of just Germany with its stupid rules, they ain't gonna pull out of the whole EU.

>>714275056
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks

>>714281421
>Britain
Didn't they exit the EU, they shouldn't have a voice.

What this would actually mean, practically:

>Singleplayer games with no DRM or online components
Unaffected. It could potentially prevent them from remotely removing the game from storefronts, but it's not guaranteed due to extraordinary circumstances.
>Singleplayer with DRM/online only play
Affected, would require the devs to release an offline patch before removing online components.
This would, likely, also affect mobile games and gachas.
>Multiplayer games
Affected, they would need to release server bynaries or tools or somehow make it offline-capable prior to taking it offline.

Copy and paste this into every thread if needed. Disinfo shills will not defeat us.

There's literally no reason to. A theme park is a false equivalency because it requires maintenance to prevent death. A video game is ones and zeros and can be modded by third parties. Star wars galaxies was killed a decade plus ago but there's two major groups rebuilding it and is currently playable all these years after. Do you think Disney should be allowed to force them to stop enjoying a product they already paid for?

A better equivalence is you buy a toy. One of those new buzz light-years thag has an online feature for some reason, but uses that online feature to download new buzz light year phrases he can say. Then one day they don't wanna pay the two Indian fucks to hit the update button every so often so they turn it off. Your buzz light year doesn't make cool sounds anymore. But you being a non retard plug it into your computer and disable some Jew soft lock and start putting your own sounds into it making it entirely playable again. But now Disney wants to sue you for preventing people from buying the new buzz and then some faggot with a sexual attraction to ferrets argues if people are allowed to do that they'll never make toys again.

You promise? Jesus how fucking retarded is he that he thinks people would be against this.

When you look at ANY top 10 list people make, they seldom include multiplayer games, so for as much as people play them they are not landing in the favourites, people want more things they can put on that list, not more things that just happen to be popular for a few months and they never touch again, or become the only thing they play because its a multiplayer treadmill.

nta the issue is that the mtx are part of a subscribed package. You very much know that all of this only runs as long as you're continually paying--like paying for access to a club.

because you will not make the design choices that make it difficult, you're not going to use a database that can only work in the cloud, you'll use one that's easy to localize
you're not going to use AWS lamda functions, you'll use a pyramid API living in VM instead
there are many ways to achieve the same effect when coding shit, the merits and demerits are often marginal, A and B do the same thing pretty much,
the problem is when in the middle of development you're informed that you have new requirement or feature that doesn't work on B and you chose B when you started, and now you have to move to A
making changes late in development is always difficult, and it's always easy to do things when you're starting

But of course I can play it offline. Why wouldn't I be able to? How do you think testing works?

It won't but every AAA slop is just going to circumvent the new law by disclaiming that the publishers has a right to shut down the game like live-service games, and the player agrees to the condition by playing it.

Yes. Because most of those funs are tied up into making the next project, the only purpose this motion has is harming the industry. Like what happens if a company goes bankrupt?

How is a company expected to work when a government employee needs to manually review which files are essential to keep and they take years to do it?

>What happens if the company got rid of the files this motion suggests
Maybe just don't do for games that are still active. The initiative is for end-of-life, why would you delete essential files for a game you're currently running?

Purposely misinterpreting is miss representing which is the point but yeah I do agree with the core of what you are saying

>>714282583
>Like what happens if a company goes bankrupt?
If it was made with people being able to run their servers from the start it's not a problem
>What happens if the company got rid of the files this motion suggests?
The company is retarded for not knowing what it needs to keep and gets fined
>How is a company expected to work when a government employee needs to manually review which files are essential to keep and they take years to do it?
Nobody is going to audit your code (it's a think that actually happens in other industries though, but this is too low stakes), it's on you to show you have the server.

it's hillarious watching corporate shills constantly changing their scripts
>it will never reach the required number of votes
>ummm they will throw it out and laugh at you
>companies will bypass it

then you have some shills that are still on outdated scripts, trying to claim it will still never reach 1 million, even if it's certain that it will at this point.

viper stop being so stupid

cant find the screenshot, but piratesoftware mods have been bragging about doing fake signatures in the hopes it kills momentum and the initiatives fail once signatures are verified

>>714282045
If they do that there will be charges

>>714283304
jewt was a faggot

>>714283320
it has
it's probably worth noting that Ross has also failed multiple times. Not dogging him, he owns that. He has said time and again he went all in on this because The Crew is 1) a game he adores and 2) a game from france that was quite popular
it's his true perfect storm and he's basically been extremely slowly building up enough allies to make the push

Basically, Ross is winning now from sheer stubborn dedication

>>714283543
Is it even possible to fake signatures? Don't you need an ID?

chill out fat Brit before I dominate your big chubby self and humble in a bdsm way hehe btw your big feet will be sucked on

>>714283690
I think the assumption is it hits just above 1 million and people will stop signing. Then some get removed for being fraudulent and it fails
>>714283610
No idea. It's what they were saying in their discord. Screenshots are on the farms but I couldn't find them

>>714279883
This is unfortunately true.
There was a petition to stop funding Asylum seeker hotels that got over 340,000 thousand signatures in less than 24 hours, it was put up a couple of weeks ago and Parliament completely ignored it.

>>714281662
nothing because it's not retroactive, but in the case of future games like them, I saw a dev suggest they could allow the user a scaled down server so it wouldn't be thousands, but you might be able to get a few hundred players, stuff like that etc. I.e. it would be in a "reasonable playable state"

>Reach 100k

>>714282194
gaming is healing!

>>714283690
The idea is that a lot of people will stop signing after the goal is reached, and if enough signatures are faked than that can kill it. Going that far though, insane.

>>714283610
It depends on the country. Signatures from Denmark cannot be faked due to the way ID works, but I don't know about the rest of Europe

>>714283690
Have you kept up at all? Yes. Very much so. They think that once 1 million gets hit it will completely stop and their couple hundred max fake signatures will be audited and it will get canned.

>>714283831
Corporations that want gaas wouldn't do that.

>>714283690
there is a valid concern in that it's possible people won't sign at 1 mil because they think that's enough (it's not)

>We're gonna win so much you may even get tired of winning, and you'll say ‘Please, please, it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. Mr. Scott, it's too much.’ And I'll say ‘No it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

>>714283932
I meant the mods doing it. Imagine sabotaging an initiative by tricking people who would have signed into not signing. When the entire point of any public signed thing is to show people are interested in it. You're literally trying to misrepresent public opinion to legislators. Unhinged.

Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the mold pile up in the streets. In the end they'll beg us to stop killing games.

>>714283395
It's strange that nobody has been able to fill the void that TotalBiscuit left.

>>714277450
Personal favourite is “Ross is ugly so don’t believe him”, he’s average but he definitely needs to either get a better collared shirt or shave down that bush around the base of his neck, shits nasty
