STOP KILLING GAMES JUST PAST 900K! LESS THAN 100K TO GO! EAT SHIT YOU FERRET FUCKING FAGGOT!

I worked at Blizzard, you know. Eat my entire ass.

>>714322807 (OP)
How about you Stop Botting instead?

>>714322718
Don't think about losing your job. Think about video games not having servers!

Thoughts?

the irony here is that some of you are celebrating the death of games that got shut down by microsoft while supporting this.

FOR THE LAST TIME I'm not signing it

>>714322807 (OP)
so what's gonna happen when the EU's response is
>these signatures are suspicious
>no we will not show evidence
>no we will not consider this petition
>have a nice day

It's amusing to see people pissed off at this initiative for no reason. I don't get why you'd get mad at this but people for some reason decided they'd use this one good thing as an excuse to lose their minds for whatever reason.
It always seemed really cringe that people just randomly get set off and completely embarrass themselves and tank their mental health for fucking nothing.

>>714323458
The only people who care about this are retard gacha paypigs who can't control themselves

just out of curiosity

what were the other initiatives that completed the million? and what happened to them?

REMINDER pirate software used that dildo in the image. Shills do not defend a fag with a gaping asshole

>>714323113
What games? If they are not released they aren't games, but just clumps of code

>>714323703
nuh uh were row row fighting the powah

Nepobaby BTFO'd by the community coming together, you love to see it

A few less people simp for the EU so still a positive. Can't believe how many people think the EU with it's unelected nucommunism is a good thing

>>714323663
They are parroting ecelebs who are acting in bad faith

>>714322807 (OP)
Remember to push well past 1 million since loltarians, republicans, corporatis and everyone else against SKG can and will find a way to challenge EVERY signature.

Heh you can just feel the seething coming from the oil barons in this thread.

>>714323663
It's annoying to hear people demand that the government intervene in their own lack of self control, and it's also annoying to hear people demand something without understanding whether it's practical or even legal.

BASED REPAIRMAN

I don't care about this one way or the other but I think it's disgraceful how a bunch of drama farmers like Cr1TiKaL have ganged up on Thor using le heckin wholesome chungus mold man as an excuse.

>>714323927

I'm happy for the initiative finding success in the end, I'm just yet again disappointed in our species that fucking internet drama of all things was what got us over the finish line. I could cope myself into thinking people would have showed up towards the end regardless, but I'm really not sure that would have been the case.

>>714324023
Cry more Malding Faggotry

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?

I literally don't give a shit whether your little petition succeeds or not. I just wish you'd stop spamming the board and buy a fucking ad already. The fact that you won't buy an ad for maximum visibility and instead resort to shitting up the board with nonstop threads makes me question your sincerity.

No matter what they decide, it's a win-win either way, games will get better or people will despise the EU even more

this shit never made any sense to me because how the fuck are you going to dramatically change culture and peoples mindset to actually push for the benefit of all?
legitimately some people just have enough money, power, and persuasion to make things go their way and get away with shit for seveal decades so your only chance for ANY salvation is SOME government interference.

>>714324079
Yes I do know what will happen if this imitative succeeds.
I'll be able to play the games I bought forever.

>>714324028
Consumer protection is important. Nanny state faggotry is not. This kind of regulation is how you end up with buildings where you can't open the windows more than a few inches to make sure you can't jump out.

>>714324048
To add on top of it, I'm not saying piratesoftware or whoever he's supposed to be isn't a massive faggot, I'd just like people to show up for a cause mainly because it's a good cause, not because of celebs x, y and z telling them to. Tale as old as time, I know.

>want to play Kartrider Drift again
>Nexon killed it outside of Taiwan and Korea, and they're planning to kill it for them too in a few months
it hurts liking non-sim racing games
they're almost all either single player, offline multiplayer only, live service with extra monetization, ultra-dead, or more retarded than Mario Kart (unmodded)

>>714324079
>Give it some thought, and spend a day to consider what Thor brought up on the Dev side
Thor misinterpreted the entire initiative on purpose. He's arguing against an initiative that doesn't exist.

>>714323748
I've done worse

>>714323663
>one good thing
More expensive games and more regulation is not a good thing. Stupidity should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

I have not been paying attention to any of this, can I get a QRD about what all this is about? I googled and got a site but I still don't get it.

>>714323981
Ironically he will do way more harm than good kek, he's bringing a software developer to debunk "muh stop killing games".

>>714322807 (OP)

Hopefully this will lead to fewer indie games with multiplayer, I don't have friends and all of this friendslop is making me sad

>>714324326

The initiative is not retroactive.

>>714324398
The initiative does not affect F2P games, or games with subs like WoW.

>>714323927
>whether it's practical
It's completely practical and there are numerous examples, you're just a moron.
>or even legal
That's literally what the initiative is about, you smoothbrained fucking faggot retard. Just kill yourself you complete waste of resources.

>>714323927
It's not my lack of self control that's the problem, it's the lack of self control of the billions of retards who let this shit go unchecked and tell me it's no big deal when I rail against it.

>>714324323
>so your only chance for ANY salvation is SOME government interference.
Or, you could just not buy a video game that relies on a first party server to function. Or do so understanding that it's not a permanant fixture.

>>714324326
>I will be able to play different offline single player versions of a game I never had to begin with

>>714322807 (OP)
Even if it passes the million, we should keep gathering signatures just in case some are invalid

qrd on the eceleb drama?

>>714324487
name 5 indies with multiplayer

>>714324220
that's actually partially the mods fault since things could've stayed in one thread until mods deleted it out of nowhere which then ended up in many threads being made
also the anti-SKG people have been spamming threads also and spamming CP and gore just to falseflag and have mods delete threads faster which then becomes another cycle of spamming threads

basically this all would've never happened if the threads were like they were in the beginning where there was literally only one in the catalog.

What are the countries with poor ID verification? We should have a worst-case-scenario signature count and aim to get 1M signatures that won't be discarded for sure.

>closing online game
>here is local server
was of that hard?

>>714324445
Developers will have to make sure games can be played after they end their support of the game
Not that they have to keep servers up, but that normal people are able to play a game long after official servers are closed

>>714324629

no....NOO!! WE HAVE TO STOP THIS NOW!!!!

>>714324553
man you really are simplistic and retarded to think that would work.
just so you know I haven't bought a ubisoft or EA game in a decade and both companies exist. I want you to convince several million to do the same.

>>714324665
Yes, this is literally dev genocide.

do you really care about a decade old game being taken away from you?

>>714324538
>It's completely practical
Depends on the game. You're not going to be running EVE privately, for example.
>That's literally what the initiative is about, you smoothbrained fucking faggot retard.
If you didn't understand what I was alluding to, you could have just asked. Many game servers run using third party software that the game publisher does not have the right to redistribute.

>>714324665
You would be surprised how cheap some companies are when it comes to doing the bare minimum.

>>714324079
>it was full of delusional old men trying to dictate the rules and censor the fuck out of everything
It never stopped being that way you faggot-ass faggot. I'm tired of faggots trying to act like Jack Thompson was the last threat games faced and pretending it's fine that old faggots sit on all of the investor boards, executive seats, and director positions trying to sterilize and over-monetize everything with no fucking idea of what makes a good game.

>>714324665
It's impossible to make peer-to-peer work without making the game open source

So you're saying that you haven't personally been wronged, you're just seething about financial transactions that you aren't even a part of. Lmao.

Ross is ugly and poor

I still don't get why I am seeing this so much. Since when did an petition ever do anything? Why do people give a shit?

>>714324938
And you're a virgin.

Believe it or not, this is the first (successfull) Euroepan Citizen initiative that regards tech, culture or media instead of like...fucking animal rights and pesticides in food and shit.

I think this has a much higher likelyhood to actually result in something considering the European track record.

>>714324461
BASED!!!

>>714324819
Some guy literally made coop mods for dark souls 1, 2, 3, sekiro and Elden Ring. The games don't connect to Fromsoft servers at all. Did he steal the source code?

>>714323952

Ok well your not getting either. Even if you stuff the ballot box.

>>714324893
>you haven't personally been wronged so you shuoldn't care
ah yes the typical non-white mentality on the prospect of even minimally improving society.

>>714324969
They're formal legal initiatives that require lawmakers examine the issue if they meet the signature threshold

It doesn't require they pass laws, necessarily, but it requires they at least consider it

>>714324969
Maybe take 10 seconds to read instead of seething, faggot. It's NOT a petition.

>>714325029
Sounds like you don't need the devs to do anything then.

>>714325096
At least you were able to vote for him

>>714325058
>ah yes the typical non-white mentality
That is actually a very white mentality.

>>714325029
These games are already peer to peer, the first party server only does match making.

>>714325053
Actually I will, Bobby.

>>714325029
Do you know which servers they do connect to?

>>714324969
>Since when did an petition ever do anything?
If you spent just 2 minutes reading about it, you'd see that it's something called European Citizens Initiative and if it gets 1 million legit signups, then they literally have to take a genuine look at it and have actual discussions about it.
>Why do people give a shit?
Because one day all devs and publishers might just decide that every single game is now online-only and then once they decide to shut down their servers/game, then those games just cease to exist forever.

Does anyone have the funny maps or even the website counting the votes?

>>714325058
How about you minimally improve your awareness that online game communities live then die and getting an empty server wont bring your game back?

>>714325093
You'd have a point if the average anon could make such mods. But no.

Place your bets on the arguments that the industry is going to throw the way of the EU when it comes to the negotiation part of this.

>>714324726
>>714324738
More like
>That game will never exist because the developer no longer has an incentive to create a product for you to purchase
You fucking morons don't understand a single thing about politics in the EU. Allowing for the globalist state to dictate what kind of games are made and how is just a really bad idea.
I'm not here to defend Ubishit or EA or Epic or whatever, but video games are products first and foremost and they are made to make a profit. If you limit our ability to make that profit, there simply will not be a reason to make the games.

You're right, regulations are inherently bad. We should remove all regulations, including those that force companies to list the ingredients that are in the food they sell you

It's not necessarily internet drama, it's that the guy who tanked it finally got called out for it. Ross was a fucking moron to stay silent after Thor's hitpiece, he would've gotten to a million way before now if he hadn't tried being the "nice" guy about it.

>>714325340
Not really. You can't own a service. I never once believed otherwise.

>by still selling games in the EU but having you accept an EULA or whatever when you buy the game?

EU Customer Protection Laws supercede whatever EULAs have written on them

>>714325289
Which means they still use external servers, retard.

>>714324738
This would actually be great for Brood War remastered, it already has private ladders but if Blizzard shuts the servers off one day that might fuck over some things.

Any spaniard here? I checked some of your biggest vidya e-celebs and not one has mentioned that.

Please think of the tiny indie devs with no budget or staff that operate massive online-only games, though.

>>714324749
I really wanted to play Front Mission Online, Star Wars Galaxy, and Final Fantasy: War of the Visions. My punishment for not being a trend-chasing FOMO-obsessed consumer is that I will never be able to. I never got to finish White Knight Chronicles 2's online play, and by the time me and my friends came back to play, it was prematurely ended. I really enjoyed Tabula Rasa, which I only played for one month due to the free month, but by the time I had free time from college (this was late 2008), it had already shut down, ensuring I never got to actually play a game I really enjoyed.

Yes, I want to play 10 year old games. And I believe that people who push this FOMO shit should be exiled to and imprisoned in central Africa. I'm sick and fucking tired of not getting to play games because they came out and then fucked off before I had time to actually play it. I have zero sympathy for devs who close games.

No, whenever a major power puts in a regulation the companies just sigh and make it the standard. If the EU forces them to do something then that something becomes the standard. These companies can't be assed to make massively different versions of their products.

>That game will never exist because the developer no longer has an incentive to create a product for you to purchase
The incentive for making games isn't the ability to turn them off, it's money. That's why they made games before online games. There's a million ways to still monetize. Any game that leverages the live service or subscription model intentionally gimps itself and creates a worse product anyways.

>don't like petition

>>714325590
Nobody has ever extrapolated on how making studios have an end of service plan to all allow players to continue playing their fsforitr game past "fuck u lol" is going to kill games or stop them from being made.

obviously fake article, but this is literally just blag and bluster.
The current petition doesn't list anything concrete, its just the idea that games should be playable EITHER singleplayer after the service ends OR on community ran and community funded servers using the server side code released by the developers to enable continuous operation.

Yeah, thats why its just a little funny vote right now so that gets ironed out.

>>714325983
If your sequel or new project is so fucking bad that literally the entire fan/playerbase has no interest in moving on from the previous that's on the fault or the studio, not the players. What a fucking absurd reasoning. That's ignoring that the majority of a playerbase will absolutely move on when the official end of service hits. I would consider you follow your own advice, mongoloid.

This is supposed to be a bad thing? I fucking hate this furry faggot.

Don't know if people are talking about it but there's another Louis Rossman video about SKG now. Louis was the guy that Thor kept posting the video of because "well he didn't agree with me but he was very level headed!" or some shit. The real reason was that Louis was the only other big tuber to cover it and Thor liked him.
https://youtu.be/dibEZ9-Psss?si=KWmgSlkN3gc_2P_V
TL;DW is that Louis fully supports it and backs it, and his criticisms are with how Ross handled it. Just not fundraising or getting someone to manage funds at all, but also he took a big issue with Ross saying he's 'done' after July 31 if it doesn't pass. Louis is one of those hardcore activist right to repair types so it kind of makes sense why he'd be pissy about it. Not rude or annoying though.

2. You and those who say "government bad" are right. the government isn't my friend. but neither are the corporations. I will utilize the strength of the one I can exert more control over to bring the other to heel.

3. I know you and your ilk are being disingenuous. you have bought into the "this movement needs a villain" mindset and wish to become a shitposter and get yous. Its not funny, and you're a faggot.

4. I do not play live service games, but i will still argue for protections of those who do, which I loathe. They cant help themselves like actual gambling addicts, so through my influence i will at least mitigate the harm they can do to themselves by making their mistaken enjoyment permanent.

I think he's made the right-to-repair stuff his entire identity and dedicated so much time and money and energy to it, that he has to defend this way of life or else it mentally bothers him personally. He can't not criticize Ross for being a full-time activist forever, because that'd be admitting to himself being a full-time activist forever might not be worth it, and that'd destroy his self-image. Think of it less like agitating Ross to do xyz and more justifying himself doing xyz for right to repair, ex post facto, by projecting onto SKG.

Yeah, he really played it perfectly (99% by accident, and by being a good person)
He waited because he didn't want to be accused of Drama-mongering, and was clear that he was only doing this as a last effort which shows character. And that meant he waited just long enough for Jason to reveal himself as a narcissistic idiot in other domains too, giving the cause a clear antagonist to fight against.

Probably some are going to be found invalid because someone fucked up the input but I don't think they look that closely unless it's obviously fake and most countries have pretty roust systems for it. Still bets to aim for a bit of a buffer.
I'm assuming no schizo actually faked 100k of them

>>714328283
They (somehow) made it to 100% earlier today/yesterday

Wouldn't this just hurt PC games in the long run? This initiative really only affects PC. It's not like you can give server tools for a PS5 game.

Seems like it boils down to “give us your server code” or “keep this old game on life support forever” both of which are losing propositions

God, I fucking hate how much shit I have to go through to e-sign.
Truth be told, I would rather people just stop buying games from shitty devs or learn to use private servers, the EU is already too regulatory.

>>714328643
Well the easier option is to not have games tied to a centralized server to begin with. Though, obviously, there are issues with this idea.

I guess what the people who support this movement want is for companies to detach their games from their servers and allow them to be run purely p2p.

Why are people pretending that normal people still have decision power in this dystopian society?
Some corrupt official will simply look at it and say "No.", and come up with some excuse if needed.

No such fucking thing, the consumer is the end all be all of consumer economy. you would probably be against Teddy and the antitrust laws he pushed if you lived back then you disgusting corporate cocksucker.

Speaking of eurofood, I have no clue why people say American pizzas are better than italian pizzas. That's not to say that American pizzas are bad, I love chicago style, but I instantly have my mouth water looking at something like this.

I don't, and even when most people don't it still happens.

That also said, for any game that is currently being supported, it's not fucking hard to implement. All devs have a SERVER.EXE file sitting on a laptop next to their workstation. It's how they test shit. It would be a trivial matter to clean up and release that same .exe to customers. People just seem to have forgotten that in the past 2 decades.

Is a gamer not entitled to the product he's purchased?
"No!" says the publisher, "It's live service"
"No!" says the developer, "It's mine to change"
"No!" says the platform, "It's licensed, not owned"
I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... permanence.

In a word, no. The dev/publisher would still have the right to ban you from the servers that THEY host, and any other services they provide.
It would depend on each specific game, of course, but you should, in theory, still be able to run a server of your own and play with your friends.
