Thread 714285779

The last thing the industry needs is another law overseer.

With all the layoffs the last thing Game Devs / companies need is supporting servers / games that are played by 100> people or less.

Also creating games is something creative and this shouldn't be influenced by politicians.

So make single player games and sex
problem solved

Steam's two hour refund window killed Indie Walking Sims about depression that lasted an hour
I'm fine with a similar trade here

This is going to ending many of talented dev teams. Imagine government forcing you to maintain non-profitable product just because. Yikes.

>Also creating games is something creative and this shouldn't be influenced by politicians
Indeed. Instead it should be influenced by executives who have never touched a video game in their lives and view them as tools to extract wealth instead of works of art which must be preserved.

>>714286035
Executives got to where they are through hard work and effort. Unelected bureaucrats got power because the people are dumb.

>>714285952
It just requires some way to be implemented so the game isn't unplayable in the future. Private matches or allowing peer to peer hosting as an option would be acceptable under this.

Basically games like Lawbreakers which you can't play at all anymore in any way would not fly.

Help me understand this better. It's been a while since I have looked into these videos since I don't live the EU I can actually sign something actionable. Isn't the entire goal to have an end of life plan that allows users to use the games that they have purchased without server support? And for multiplayer games, why would they have costs for making their dedicated server software public when they decide to shut down official servers?
Did they shift goals? The entire point was to ensure that a game ultimately can be played offline without the need for the devs to run servers, not to endlessly support the game or code the game in such a way where that support would be required.

>>714285952

Counterpoint: you are wrong and videogames companies will fuck over the players in every way they can if they are not stopped.

You all know what could be coming if you vote for this petition right? You know the possible 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 delusional old men trying to dictate the rules and censor the fuck out of everything right? This could 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 might not be the government salvation you guys are hoping for, this may not even be the corpo vs government clash either, this could come entirely at your expense. They MIGHT 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 intentionally misunderstanding Thor like he clearly is. He may have had to go to such lengths to ignore all the valid concerns Thor brought up and throw on a full mask under the guise of caring for destroyed games. Maybe he was hoping there'd be a massive outbreak of supposed ecelebs throwing their weight into this to bully Thor all of the sudden when the natural response was to veer as far away as possible from something that could potentially harm devs without hearing their concerns? They've been going into overdrive to push for this and you are all being way too mean to Thor.

If there's any among you that still possesses a brain, I implore you think hard before you sign this. Give it some thought, and spend a day to consider what Thor brought up on the Dev side. This shit could have 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 might not be throwing away your information for the government to "leak away" in a year's time?

>>714287062
I know you're trying to make an appeal based on people's concerns about censorship in an attempt to bait and fearmonger, but have you considered that if games are going to continue to be censored anyways by private firms or developed by people that won't touch on certain subjects or convey ideas that you disagree with anyways, wouldn't you much rather be able to play older games you actively supported and bought that weren't subjected to said censoring without fear that one day they'll be unplayable because the company decided to shut down the official servers for them?
Also I do not see how consumer protections equals censoring to begin with but I assume you're already arguing in bad faith and this entire post was just more of a waste of time to start.

I'm sure there's some people who actually believe this because they've either forgotten that digital purchases used to come with even fewer rights or they never even knew that there was a time where you couldn't refund digital purchases at all and that it's only thanks to government intervention that we now have that.

>You are clearly not a programmer

You know many gaming communities can run their private servers, right?

The players that keep playing the game can do it themselves.
>You are not a programmer and have no clue about anything that happens in game dev.
Neither do you if you actually think any of the reasons you listed are valid. Whether or not there is a need to outsource is unrelated to allowing the game to remain playable when it become abandonware.

if it can do all these things, packaging in a consumer version in the game so any random retard can host a server and letting the game connect to a non-official server is literally trivial work you get done in a few days at most
if it can't not my fault that the company is hiring incompetent programmers with 0 foresight because all these things are things you should've done whether this SKG shit was happening or not for shit that is as simple as opening up more servers in new regions, testing in-house, having new hires be able to understand the system quickly so they are productive faster, etc.

Giving you the benefit of a doubt you don't deserve and assuming you're just retarded and/or haven't actually read it, nothing in the petition mandates they have to continue providing servers and shit once they plan to end a game.

Supporting it could be releasing server binaries so players can host their own shit, or depending on the game removing the server side bullshit like DRM/unnecessary always online connections etc (of course they could also just not put all that in in the first place and then problem solved)

t. thor

They don't need to support anything. They don't need to do extra work.
The absolute basic requirements to allow their software to be used is just release the server. into the public domain.
It's already programmed, it's already designed to do everything that is needed to be done.

Four lines of code to read an IP address from a text file in client directory and you're done.

While it would be nice for them to do more than the basic requirements, nobody is actually expecting them to re-write an entire game to make it soloable. In fact that's probably actually a worse solution.

There is factually no downside to this, just a bunch of shitty faggots pretending that companies will have to spend millions of developing something they already have and are using. If servers were designed to be so fucking hard to run on different servers then companies would be spending trillions on writing software for each individual server. (they don't because I know most of you are too fucking dumb to understand that)

Even less than that. If they update the game in house, they obviously can run a LAN version of it, just need to flip a switch. Even if its something more complicated like running a server locally simulating the always online server, its easily doable to ship that in a file for players. Most of those servers aren't even as resource intensive as they seem to be, people are self hosting thousands of private servers for MMOs. It's not even about foresight or bad coding, they just don't want you to be able to play it offline.

I don't really give a shit about online games, but if this went through wouldn't it encourage AAA devs to stop vomiting up GaaS as they would have to forced to keep them alive even if no one plays them? Like no dev wants the constant drain on resources. It might encourage them to make more single player focused games.

>>714290313

>>714293183
They want exclusive "service" if they choose to bring it back. More often though the only "upside" is so they can keep selling similar games, and it won't matter if the new one is worse than the old.

Maybe, that's why it's a win win

>>714293579
>as they would have to forced to keep them alive even if no one plays them?
No, the game dev don't have to maintain it alive if they do'nt want to. They just have to provide the tools so that the fans can maintain it alive themselves.

>>714293714
>>714293579
Actually, I missed part of your post

>as they would have to forced to keep them alive even if no one plays them?

No, this is not required

What would be is having end of life plans so when servers are taken offline, they enable offline play OR provide some tools/documentation so the community can run private servers or other ways to restore functionality

That said, it may still discourage live service titles and the like if it really is especially difficult to make them work offline, but in most cases developers can probably still make it work

So, again, win win: Either shit becomes playable offline or less people make those games anyways

>>714285952
They're not required to maintain shit, onus will be on the community

this is a consumer rights movement forcing devs to not make their games intentinally retarded

i played unreal 2k4 despite epic not even selling the game anywhere anymore just fine
because that used to be the stardard

buy game, you get to keep playing game
but publishers and devs are trying to """"normalize"'"" and """"make players comfortable""""" to not actually own their games

just like it isn't legal for car manufacturers, powertools or literature to sell you a product that was ACTIVELY and INTENTIONALLY made in a way they can remote detonate your copy from use after you gave them money is retarded

SKG doesnt require devs to support games forever
that in itself is a liability because then games die even when a willing developer goes bankrupt
just make your games so you aren't dependant on their centralised servers for their product to work

if volkswagen goes bankrupt and all their cars become paperweights overnight that wouldn't be ok either

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".

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.

It's even simpler, they can also just create a new depot on Steam (yeah, that game will be on Steam or some shit like that, don't pretent otherwise) or bundle the files with the game in an update.

If it goes through there's also the possibility of a third party starting a business that can handle that process for publishers for a fee kinda like GameSpy did in the 00's, like a sort of like a middleware, literally creating new business with fees that were factored in when the game started development.

This is what I hate about you skgfags. You want it regulated like it's a factory or the food industry but those are industries that could cause real harm if they aren't regulated.
This is the entertainment industry, the only thing that can get hurt is your fragile fucking ego if you get shafted on a game that was obviously bad and had a metric ton of red flags when it was announced.

The only thing that needs regulating is your corporate cocksucking and you do that by learning your lesson.

he has talked a lot of shit about how horrible it was to work at blizzard, and how shitty some of the managers were.

Why would indie devs make online-only games they intend to expire?

>>714298990
Name some indie games this would kill.

>>714294492
TL;DR
Stops always online games from existing, makes companies add a way to play the game after the servers are gone such as leaving a framework for private dedicated servers as most games had in the past.
This would only apply to future games.

>>714285884
uhhhh did your game make a network request?
now you legally have to open source the game.
got a problem pussy? too bad.

Thanks saars.

>>714299091
As an Australian all I can say is, at least you tried.
Australian trade unions are responsible for a shitload of the good things we have in terms of consumer rights and workplace rights.
To be fair to you, older countries were rigged against unions at their conception, Australia being much younger actually incorporated them properly into the system.
>In b4 a bunch of yanks rally against me to shit on unions.

>>714298990
What % of Indie games have online elements at all?
What % of those have online elements actually used for gameplay and not just leaderboards and shit?
What % of those actually have online elements that require servers and can't just function via LAN or P2P connections?
What % of those actually have those online elements being complex enough or tied into enough agreements with third parties that the developers couldn't plan to supply at least some tools and documentation for the community to get servers up and running?

It's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of titles that may have serious issues as a result of this. If that tiny subsection of games don't get made now in favor of other projects, that's a worthwhile sacrifice to ensure that the always online games that DO get released will be playable offline when their servers go down

>>714296089
oh look its more people crying over their code when they don't even have to release their code

>>714298272
Because you can't handle Indian intellect, satire, or sarcasm on 4chan? Oh nooo.. Indians replied with brains instead of victimhood - now you're crying? So passing racist comments is your birthright, but the moment Indians return the favor with humor and sharpness, it's "being mad"? Indians didn't even warm up yet, and you're already holding your chest like you saw a ghost. Go drink some warm milk and rest. This place is not for the weak.

He was doing a dungeon in WoW Classic Hardcore and one point in a messy pull called out "run," and then instantly burned all his mana to fuck off out of the dungeon. While his party members were saying "wait come back, this is salvageable if you help" and died. He was playing as frost mage, which has a good kit of polymorph, slows, and snares that would've helped his party escape.
Afterward he refused to accept any responsibility or admit there were things he could've done differently, he just kept saying "uh I was out of mana I couldn't have done anything."
There are also clips of him previously talking about how he played frost mage specifically for the utility of being able to control the battlefield, and saying that other frost mage that weren't making full use of their kits were bad.

>>714299136
any game that ever makes a GET request to a server for any reason, i.e. most games.
They will be legally determined to be "online games" because courts are retarded and now every game will be forced to be open source. no profit = no games.
even if this doesnt happen, now every indie dev who uses the internet for anything in their game will be subject to lawsuits. chilling effect will mean way less game devs.

>>714298962
>You will not be able to take it from me after the transaction is completed.
You bought a game that requires constant online, you bought it knowing it would be shut down, they had it printed on the box, it's a talking point a year before release in most cases.
This isn't something you have the right to complain about. You bought a shitty product, knowing it was a shitty product and instead of learning your lesson you want to instead make everything worse so you can still make that same mistake when companies eventually make an even worse system.

How much worse are you going to make this industry until you learn that you have the power to fucking refuse the shit you picked up?

Your baits are getting better, pls continue.

While I do believe this is a just cause, and I want it to succeed, I genuinely don't know why people and especially Ross think this will have the impact they expect.
I've signed another EU initiative like this a couple of years ago.
We've gathered 1.3m signatures.
The EP had to address the issue.
They did.
They said "umm, ackshully, we don't want to intervene, I'll let you guys handle it, kthxbye"
Oh, and this was an initiative to guarantee minority rights within the EU. So it's a topic that's already close to the cucked EU's heart. And they did nothing lmao.
You really think they will start regulating gigacorporations? It's a fever dream.

I signed this back when it had a couple thousand signatures, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
The best thing out of this entire ordeal is the fact that this furfaggot called Thorium gets outed for the piece of shit he really is.

Why is everyone against this petition, specifically those who post reddit screenshots, have this view that gaming can't change course?

That developers do their way, or the highway.
>If EU does this, we will treat them like china and just stop releasing games there
>If this passes, then it's over for games because we don't develop games with future proofing in mind

I would feel anyone who wants to comment on this should have a brain to understand the petition isn't giving the solution already. But instead kicking the conversation up to law makers who could finalize how it actually looks.
These anti petition people seem purposely dense and just unwillingly to even conversate.
Yeah online games now, made before this will have some pains, maybe wow won't get another expansion next year, as they will work on future proofing it. But is that so bad? Is it so bad if games slow down for even a second to the industry can better align with our expectations?

that wow run was the one time he was fine.
basically two other players fucked the run, called to run early, pulled in way too many mobs, sent the healer in to die, and then called people back.
pirate put a cc on the mobs via a shortened blizzard but it didn't matter because the boss was immune and was the thing doing the most damage.
they got pissy because afterwards they wanted to divide up the blame "fairly" and pirate being his usual self didn't want to have any of it.

so now you have a bunch of retards who don't know how to play wow claiming he could have saved them but not ONE of them can come up with a valid way how because the boss was still gonna kill them unless he threw his own hardcore character away by drawing aggro, like the healer did.
WoW players are largely retards now that just follow a formula spoonfed to them by an addon, and they lose their shit the moment ANYTHING doesn't match that formula.

they will come here and argue in circles and NEVER be able to explain how he could have stopped the boss from killing them, and usually they will admit to not even playing.
so many things to shit on pirate for and they choose to be retards

Most country require signers to use their ID, so it's likely not.

>>714301084
correct, we all saw the video.
now name what he could have done to stop the BOSS from killing them.
>just blinked away
mages can't kite bosses, you don't play the game.
>increase their survival CHANCE
ah yes he would have multiplied the 0.00 chance by 0.05!
this is exactly what I was talking about.

He's malding so fucking hard right now

What do you mean, EU has dicked down many mega corps before. It’s pretty much the only thing they’re good at is bossing companies around

Pirate is a gigafag whom I dislike greatly but the roach thing is just whatever. He absolutely could have done a bit more to help and him wasting the last of his mana to blink out and shield up when he was well out of danger contributed since he could have made it more orderly. I can hardly blame a guy for hearing "run" and running though. I liked that everyone shat on him for it.

>>714299728
>You really think they will start regulating gigacorporations?
I mean, they are already doing it, so yes?

Finland about to 400%

>>714301276
I wish this would actually kill live service games and gachas like you fags believe, but it would just make it so you can't be rugpulled after paying for a game. Look at the megaman x dive game that was made to be playable after they shut the servers off

>>714299157
Sounds great to me.

Okay but what about every single little edge case? What about this made up scenario that didn't happen yet, but might? Didn't think about that did you?
Hope it was worth it buddy.

Maybe you shouldn't make products that require an online connection to play in singleplayer

>>714300016
>The EU will make my way the law
No, they won't. Realistically they'll point out the issue of responsibility and note that the example games all had visible warnings of a shutdown beforehand and that doesn't justify altering ownership rights. At best nothing will happen.
>why does this upset you so?
Simple, you represent rampant, blind loyalty to corporations wrapped in a self centered ego who refuses to accept that they're wrong. You don't think before you buy you just do and then you have the gall to say something you chose to do of your own volition wasn't your fault like a petulant child.

The worst part is that had you actually banded together and started a stop spending campaign you could have actually done some damage. But where were all of the infographics and campaigns to raise awareness about how shit asscreed shadows was for example?
Instead you chose to not only attempt to fuck over creators in general but you're just going to get right back on your knees and buy whatever low effort anti consumer shit they do next and repeat the cycle until there's nothing left.

To top it off you have the fucking gall to call someone who doesn't buy these games a corpocuck. Someone who's simply telling you to NOT GIVE THEM MONEY.

Tell you what though? In the unlikely event that you lot do fuck over video games completely by getting this shit passed into some kind of law. I'll just stop giving a shit entirely, that's more money to go into my plamo hobby.

Bros, what is the next thing we need an inititive for?

>>714301393
Ignored the main point.
The problem people mostly had was his hypocrisy, and lying about his mana.
Are you really so dense you cant understand people shitting on the guy for his months of bragging about his wow skills, shitting on other mages he perceived as shit and his blizzard credentials just for him to ROACH.
At the very fucking least he shoulda dropped a nova on the adds before booking it. He could easily jump on edge along the walkway near the entrance and been 100% safe to throw a blizz around the pillar or a sheep. You can even jump down to the lower level rail and hearthstone .

>>714301578
>>714301415
They don't though. The only win they got was vs apple with the usb-c shit.
Whenever they want to start shit with actual big corporations, like meta, they will grab the headlines with shit like "MARK ZUCKERBERG FINED 500 GORILLION EUROPESOS BY THE EU FOR BEING A PEEPING BITCH" then a couple of months down the road they weasel out of their tough guy act and cede 95% of their demands.
The only thing the EU is good at is pumping its countries full of brown subhumans.

>>714301810
>No, they won't
They have before. This isn't change.org, you know. We're talking legitimate consumer rights issues, where the EU has a track record of deciding in favor of the consumers against large multinational corporations.
In essence, we have won.

>noooo then we can't make low effort trash games designed to suck as much money from whales as possible before we drop it the moment it it starts to become unprofitable!!!

the shills in this thread are going nuts, keep signing, EU anons. If only to watch them seethe more

>>714301841
Ban Movie Games

Guys this petition wont change anything, don't bother wasting your time signing it

don't sign it okay? waste of time.
not really worth the effort to sign it.

>>714285779 (OP)
making a smug furry upset and making ubisoft seethe even more is enough reason to sign
thanks for the notice anons

>>714301513
It pisses me off because if you are gonna shit on someone you should be shitting on them for things that actually got fucked up.
we saw breakdowns from one of the biggest fucking no-lifers, saw his words on how all the people claiming they could have saved them in his place were full of shit being proven true in the tyler1 raid.

I am an autist who will shitpost but I have a sense of fairness damn it.
I want retardation squashed, be it from pirate or anyone else.

>>714301929
>The problem people mostly had was his hypocrisy, and lying about his mana.
not true. not even close to being true.
because you faggots ALWAYS try to get into bullshit you don't know shit about with how he could have saved them, like you are RIGHT NOW.
the nova wouldn't have done shit.

And the GDPR
And forcing Steam to refund games
And protections of data...

new whiteness map dropped

>>714296089
Dont make the games in such stupid way then.

>>714302217
>And forcing Steam to refund games
steam's policy was already pretty much in line with the EU, anon.
for a long time it was far better than the EU required.

>>714301504
Maybe having actual government issued ID wasn't gommunism after all. Even the most retarded romanian can figure it out but somehow in USA it would be "unfair voter suppression" because apparently nigs are just too dumb for it.

>>714302348
>sweden 300%
that doesn't sound right

Better things aren't possible. It's a waste of time to imagine things changing. It's a better use of your time to instead do daily missions in your favorite AAA GaaS.

>>714302348
why has Czechia not crossed the threshold yet? i thought they were gamers

>>714302209
Yeah Jason just keep ignoring my points. You didn't even try, and he was safe to do so.
If you wanna roach, don't brag about how clutch you are before hand and how your 7 years at blizzard gives you deep encyclopedic wow knowledge and skills

If i sign this my boss will fire me

>>714302217
gdpr sucks donkey dick and isn't even monitored.
t. at our company we had to implement a gdpr check, the vast majority (like 99%) clicks "yes".
steam refund came due to the aussies (or kiwis?)
data protection falls under the gdpr category.
The only truly good thing the EU has done is to force mobile phone makers to use easily swappable batteries.

>>714302209
Ya lol, that's fair. It's all just his personality though. If he had just said "Ya I could have maybe cast a couple more low level blizzards It may have helped but I seriously doubt it and the moment I heard run I committed to the bit." it would have been over in a couple of days. He's just so insufferable that even when he's right people jump on him.

I wouldn't have done any better in that situation as far as plays go. I would have cast a couple more spells, but it was fucked from the pull.

>>714302673
explain how the nova would have stopped the boss from killing them.
>blah blah he talked shit and roached
like literally everyone else in the fucking tyler1 raid who came UP with those comments for you?

Can any euro anons explain to me how an american was able to start this process?

>>714302861

sign it then sue him for a bazillion euros if he does

>>714302861
He's not actually behind the initiative, he's just the face of it.

>>714302842
I completely agree, but it pisses me off that the people who really fucked things up were trying to weasel out of accountability in the first place.
and now they get no one shitting on them for it because OOH FERRET FUCKER SAID NO

I can't wait for gachas to reach end of life and they have to release an offline version you could purchase like Megman XDive.
I'd actually play those slop then.

>>714302769

No, it doesn't.

It doesn't matter if it definitively would have saved them or not. With the mage toolkit he was completely safe to try and after all his big talk about how good he is in these situations its pathetic that he didn't. 1 nova would have saved him all this trouble and he could easily blink out, jump on the rail, iceblock to guarentee his survival.
Cya next thread. I won't be wasting more time on this. I wasted enough time on vanilla wow already.

>>714301002
>imagine you bought a burger at a restauraqnt
Why do you fuckers always think about food? Is that why you're supporting this? Because you're too distracted by your growling stomach to read it properly?

Whatever, you want food comparisons? I'll give you a food comparison.
What you're doing is like going to that dumb gimmick diner over in America called the Heart attack grill, they make food that could potentially kill someone and you have to sign a waiver saying you're aware it could kill you.
Seeing a parallel of awareness here?
Anyway, it's like going there with a friend, your friend dying and then attempting to sue them going
>WELL WE DIDN'T KNOW HE WOULD DIE
>THEY NEVER TOLD US!

>>714303351
I think the heart attack grill should be illegal and shut down. Does this help

>>714303236
Give me a game with DRM on console, any game. Let's do this with a game you potentially bought and see if they didn't.

>>714303063
The people who fucked things up all admitted it was a clusterfuck (except mald) he spent the next week denying any accountability

>>714303193
No but this would actually work quite well as a "whiteness map"

That's what happens after being almost thousand years under someone's yoke

>>714303345
>it doesn't matter if it would do nothing
yes it does.
that would be the entire point of bringing out the toolkit.
should he have spammed useless CC's like the retarded rogue who didn't realize he couldn't blind the boss?

>>714303508
No, not it doesn't. Controlling what people do with their own bodies just because you don't like it is totalitarianism of the highest order.

>>714303567
exactly. they tried to make it a "we all fucked up" when it was a "THESE TWO SPECIFICALLY turbofucked up"

How come private corporation lobbying doesn't seem as effective in the EU as it is in the US?
