A bunch of people sign a petition hoping something improves in their pathetic wage slave lives and then fuck all happens

Well, it's about uhh umm uhh
Sorry but that critter's sexiness is too distracting

Basically
>Live service multiplayer games should have either open source or partially-open source things, available if the service is discontinued. (Kind of like Valve with TF2 recently, even though it's only mostly dead development-wise).
Or
>Single-player games with persistent online required should release a final version with no additional payment options like what Nintendo did with Animal Crossing Pocket Camp
That's basically it.

Multi billion dollar corporations save money to fuck over consumers. This change forces them to spend minuscule amounts of money to not fuck over people.

>>714320648
Ok that doesn't sound so bad in theory, open source might be too much id rather they just have old multiplayer servers like TF2 has instead

>>714320732
So should i sign the petition? Why is 4chan loosing their shit over this if its a good thing? I dont get it.

>>714321309
Yes you should because unggghh fat pika pusseeeeee fat pika pussy in my face oougghhh. Our games are on the line, Anon.

In that latter case it would be something like the devs releasing a listen server tool so people can connect with each other through one supported by the community, either P2P or to other servers hosted by community members. Gundam Evolution, a game that went EoS after a year, has had fans reverse engineering the code to produce their own online for the dead game, with lobby play available for more than a year at this point and casual matchmaking being worked on. SKG here would more or less require Bandai to give the tools community members have painstakingly reverse engineered, and then they wouldn't have to do anything else for the game ever again.

You should sign it if you live in the EU. It literally explains what it's for on the petition page.

White people will band together in the millions to stop their niche gay fucking game dying but are completely okay with browns conquering them

>>714320502
but enough about the united states

>>714322163
Oh yeah, i heard something about them getting their game back by force
Honestly based, specially after the shitshow of PC battle operation

>>714320330 (OP)
If you make and sell a game that is online only and people wont be able to play it anymore after servers go down then you have to give away the games source code when you do that so people who bought it can still play.

>NOOO I CAN'T JUST ABSTAIN FROM BUYING GAMES ON STEAM! GAMING IS AN ESSENTIAL NEED! I NEED THE GOVERNMENT TO INTERVENE!
>HOUSING CRISIS? INFLATION? FOREIGN INVASION? NOT MY CONCERNS. I'LL JUST MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
>WHAT INSPIRED ME TO START THIS MOVEMENT? WELL, IT ALL STARTED IN 2014 WHEN I BOUGHT THIS RACING GAME THAT SAID 'ONLINE ONLY'. 10 YEARS LATER THE PLAYER COUNT WAS 1 SO THEY SHUT DOWN THE SERVERS. UNLUCKY FOR THEM, THAT PLAYER WAS ME. THEY MESSED WITH THE WRONG GUY

>>714323627
>united states
The amount of times a petition has changed the lives of the people for the better across the entire planet can be counted on the hands of a cobalt miner.

If Rocket League decided to shut down nobody would be able to play it online because Epic have all the servers

You'd need a massively popular online game to die for any action to happen on this but those games don't die because they make money

u got brain problems

The issue is companies seeing they have to choose between eventually releasing intellectual property (AKA proprietary server tools and or code) OR just not doing online games in Europe.

And remembering how many games companies have shelved for reasons pettier than this.

good thing its not a petition you braindead doomer

>>714324767
Holy based. We should all hope to be as autistic as this.

Lot of people signing a paper in the hope some politician will use it as evidence against the use of "game as service" in EU (it won't do shit)

>>714326814
Cope. Petitions have always worked all throughout history

>>714327105

Let's put it very easy.
Imagine there is a game that has both single player and multiplayer, like an old CoD game.
Now the publisher shuts down the servers, but also revokes all the keys in order to prevent you to play the single player campaign.

The pentition wants to prevent that (they have a faq too on their website too).

>Why it's controversial?
It truly isn't.
And idiot named PirateSoftware makes heavy misinformation against this, but I still don't understand the reason about why he is so viciuos about this.
He killed the petition, until he got called out.
It's worth to note that several on 4chan are just trolling.

>Should I sign it?
Of course. Ask to your parents too.
We need all the votes possible, as there is the rumor that the community of PirateSoftware made some fraudolents votes in order to sabotage.

>>714326814
the EU actually do do this kind of thing once in a while, see all the iphone shit in the last couple years
I doubt they'll get the full list of concessions, private servers are probably just never going to be commonplace for big mainstream games again, the corporations will never give up that much control while the game is alive and won't be willing to spend the money to support them after it stops being profitable, but I could see making singleplayer modes unplayable because an unrelated server gets shut down becoming illegal, and probably some kind of mandatory warning about always online shit that won't actually change anything like the cookie popups

>>714320330 (OP)
What character is this? I need more art.

welp, it just passed
again, i would just want private servers or force corpos to have some sort of support and not shit games after one month and leave them
banning always online singleplayer tough? thats very feasible and would be a good change.
