>>714361456 (OP)
do you think dropping about 50% of your possible revenue is worth it though? I don't think it is.

>>714361456 (OP)
Any game that is not released in the EU because of SKG should have never released at all

>>714361456 (OP)
Any online-only slop, and good riddance.

>>714361456 (OP)
It's not a big deal to provide a local servers with bots, publishers just went in a full kike mode

>>714361483
you lost + got raped

>>714361456 (OP)
this has nothing to do with video game and everything to do with you being a faggot mongoloid addicted to eceleb drama kill yourself

>>714361456 (OP)
It will be a very tiny amount.
All the big ones DO have the resources to implement sunsetting mechanisms.
And I barely know of any indie live service games. Does realm of the mad god count?

>>714361597

I can finally stop seeing that shit everywhere

I think this really shows what companies like the EU go through when you criticize them.

>>714361456 (OP)
none that will be missed

>>714361483
They already did, and clearly they want to shit up /v/ even more.

>>714361531
>EU
>50%
Try 20 and that's prolly generous.

>>714361963
it depends on the games
soccer games are very big in the EU but football or gacha games probably make less than 5% from the EU

>>714361963
They know what is on the table, you don't need to make up smaller numbers for them

>>714361456 (OP)
chai knees games

>>714361456 (OP)
No worthwhile ones.

>>714361456 (OP)
None really. They will hire a bunch of saars to code a server emulator and call it a day.

>5 threads nuked in under a minute
Seems like the 5 rupee check just cleared!

>>714361456 (OP)
The really bad ones like the occasional SEO american sites that refuses to serve euros due to GDPR.

Dedicated servers here we come.

>>714361456 (OP)
All not eurojank games will be banned

>>714361456 (OP)
my game

t. from EU

None. At best some old farts pretend to discuss is somewhere for 2 minutes and throw it in the trash and move on to other stuff.
That's how those usually goes with petition related stuff.

Uma Musume but now for all of Europe instead of only for The Netherlands and Belgium

>>714362206
The ECI demands the politicians respond to it.

>>714362257
Ok i responded to your message now what?

>>714361456 (OP)
STOP THE COUNT

>>714361456 (OP)
None since regional pricing makes stellar blade without dlc 70€ in the EU while the € is stronger than the $.
They should ban gachas and lootboxes while they're at it and finally save gaming.

>>714362287
Are you a politician? Can I have your autograph?

>>714361456 (OP)
Games that are sold in the EU will be more valuable, and companies will stamp their games with applicable EU stickers just to market them. It's going to be the CE certification but for video games. It's incredibly obvious that this will happen.

>>714362206
Unlikely.

There's a push for IT regulation in the EU in light of the various burgerisms lately so this actually comes at a perfect time.

On topic, but not too hot. Perfect to try a few things in the field.

Lots of games that have 90% asian audiences who dont need europe. Thats mostly gacha though.

>>714362320
no but politicians are good at responding but doing jack shit

>>714362257
With any luck there might be a broader discussion of preservation but personally I don't hold out much hope

>>714362335
Sounds like EU games are about to double in price if they need to be made on a separate manufacturing pipeline.

>>714361963
>hmm... should we implement this feature that can earn us 20% more revenue
>or should we just lose this 20% sales for no good reasons aside of to spite the EU players?
Hmmmm...... truly a impossible choice

>>714362368
Imagine a world where gacha were confined to asia

>e-celebs making videos left and right
Not signing your shit anymore.

>>714361456 (OP)
most realistic scenario, none because making a small fix is better than avoiding half a billion potential customers
best case scenario, no more gacha games in the EU

>UStrannies jealous because their state wouldn't lift one finger for them
ask yourself what you can do for your country americucks

>>714361456 (OP)
>stop releasing in the EU
lol
lmao

>>714362423
>20% more revenue

you forgot DEI in games
it's about sending a message

>>714362423
>if I pretend there is no cost to implementing this feature than we get all of that 20%!
>I am very smart!

>>714362438
the west version of gacha is shit like EA games

>>714362421
>separate manufacturing pipeline
Fancy words for no-drm patch and bundling the server.exe with the main one.

You could try selling it at 2x the price. Who knows - it might even work.

>>714362514
>I am very smart!

Were not the ones mad that a ubisoft game isnt online anymore. Ubisoft is French. We dont like those people.

>>714362376
>>714362386
All the previously passed initiatives have resulted in legislation. Take the hopepill.

>>714362470
Our "state" is kicking immigrants out. Seethe with your garbage video games.

>>714362421
>guys instead of just changing how we sunset our online services, let's split our workforce in two and then develop two completely different versions of our games from the ground up

>>714361456 (OP)
just like how steam stopped selling to the EU to avoid refunds?

>>714362470
jealous? burgers take pride in corporations fucking them over and the state not intervening because it would be communism.

>>714362559
>If i pretend making an alternate version of a game is easy then there's no cost!

>>714362584
Have your fun. We'll have ours.

>>714362421
I wish I could access roaches discrod to see the insane brainstorming you have to come up with your bullshit takes.

>>714362585
>dude making an offline version of a game built from the ground up to be always online doesnt cost anything! Thats why so many devs already do it? Because it's super easy!

>>714362514
>Hmm.. should we design the game with the limitation in mind?
>Or should we not care about it until when we have to kill the game?
>Hmm... truly a impossible choice
>Also, 20% profits to implement a solution for that
Gee, you're either absolutely retarded or just a fucking shill.
I'm gonna go with both. You're a retarded shill.

>>714362626
>guys we're going to need a completely different version of our game if it's going to run on identical server hardware but in a different building

>>714362514
Not my problem, if new games are too expensive I'll just play old ones.

>>714362703
>dude world of warcraft could totally be made a single player offline game with a small patch

>Nooo you don't get it they'd have to develop server tools to give out
You guys do know multiplayer game developers make local server tools first so they can test shit?
You aren't this dumb right?

>>714362626
Alternate versions already exist, anon. Localizations, adjustments per region, etc.
