The fight is not over. Extra buffer to offset any invalidated signatures is needed, but for now, LET'S CELEBRATE!

Its an EU citizen pushed law proposition that makes game preservation legal instead of just piracy handling it. Its still just a proposition, if any EU country MEP votes No, it won't pass.

WE NEED TO GO BEYOND 1 MIL

THROUGH

>goal met
>nepo furry is malding

Reminder, in the end Gul Dukat did nothing wrong

>>714392712
tl;dr
>Companies will be required to keep supporting games they create indefinitely forever, even after their 'end of service date.' You can say goodbye to any company making an MMO ever again.
>Companies will be required to hand over all source code to the game, and things like 3rd party patented APIs will probably no longer be in games. Goodbye to things such as speedtree, advanced lighting, and other things that will only make games more expensive to develop and add to total dev time. Games will probably shoot up to $120 eventually with this.

What determines the treshhold numbers anyway? I thought it was per capita.

>>714393559
Ah yes, "signing rights away" such as... the right to be unable to self-host your own servers... no that's not right... ah yes, the right to NOT be able to play a game you paid for when the devs want to shut it down so they can sell you the same shit...

>>714392890

so let me get this straight; because gamers are too lazy and stupid not to buy dogshit-online-slop games you are giving the EU the power to legislate game content? that sounds great. let's just give the government the power we're too retarded to use ourselves. nothing has ever gone wrong from there.

>>714393048

Gamers have successfully petitioned the EU to consider making a law to preserve games whose servers went down.

EU reps vote on it, Germany most likely votes No because Germany hates the internet and freedom of speech in general, the proposition fails. French or finns might like the idea and push for a revised version in the future.

Really? You're killing live service games and you're laughing?

What's up with Luxembourg? I get why the other countries didn't make it over the threshold, but what's up with them? What makes them so different than the other countries surrounding them that did pass it?

Their vote number per capita is actually the eighth highest but they have a very high threshold due to the amount of MEPs in proportion to population.

We (Europeans) should continue signing, if we haven't already. High chance of some invalid signs, so the more, the safer.

>>714393506
>You can say goodbye to any company making an MMO ever again.
Good.

If SKG achieved one thing, if it weren't obvious enough, is how strong the current contrarian /v/ mentality is. No matter how beneficial it is for the average /v/ consumer there will always be genuine and disingenuine faggots (the latter for le ebin falseflag ragebait xD) claiming how acshually harmful it is to developers (despite this affecting maybe 1% of indie games), simply doomposting "nothing will change, they will find a loophole", or disinformed to hell and back i.e thinking that this will bring The Crew back or any video game that was shut down prior to the establishment of the initiative, or that devs/publishers will be forced to put a game on life support until the end of time

Still, I am glad that *most* of /v/ seems to agree it's nevertheless a good effort and above all else I am glad PieRATfaggot aka Malding Faggot aka Jason is coofing as he malds LIVE from the hospital (definitely not an excuse to not have to address the success of the petition signing as it happens)

Contrarians, shitposters and concern trolls have always been part of /v/, comes with the territory. The surprising part is how most of them always turn out to be either trannies or furries.

>>714394685
Not reading all of that. I just wanted it to fail as I thought it would be the funnier outcome (as most would blame Pirate Software for sabotaging the initiative). I thought the same with wanting Billy Mitchell to win over Karl Jobst in court, and look how that turned out.

STOP THE COUNT!

>>714393624
What's the purpose of the thresholds? Are all countries required to pass their thresholds before this gets discussed to parliament?

>>714394376
>>714394663
I hate my government with a passion but your German government makes my bunch of authoritarian twats look like free speech advocates. I didn't think it was a real thing your politicians ordering your police to lock people up because of insults or someone called them Penis head or some lame insult.
Isn't that the point of being a politician? You become the target of immense criticism but with that position you have privileged through wealth and elevated position in society? Your politicians seem to have taken that to the next level and think themselves all Kings.

>>714394118
Take a single player game you really like.
Tomorrow a shitty publisher buys the right of the franchise and forces on your copy an update that requires an always online connection.
Then in about a year the company goes bankrupt or simply decide it's not profitable enough and shut off the server.
You can no longer play your single player game.

>>714394883
I mean some anons think that the odds that the parliament will actually pass something in response to the petition are quite large

Good job, Europe. I'll stop making fun of you for a week.

>>714394814
>it's going to be passed
There's nothing to pass. This is just a formal request for the EU to consider looking into this issue. It's an 'Initiative' and one they are free to reject for any reason at all.

>>714395007
No, only 7 countries needed to pass the treshholds or it wouldn't count even if it got a milly signatures. We got 3 times the required treshold countries

>>714394814
Its the latter option. The biggest hurdle is passing the member nation vote. Because just like in UN system if a single country votes NO, then it won't pass at all. Its a system that makes EU slow and clunky as fuck but on the flipside it also prevents bullshit laws from happening.

>>714394941

I'd think, with how everyone is constantly complaining about government 24/7, they wouldn't be throwing a party because they submitted a petition for the government to look at video games.

No, they have to respond to it legally speaking. The question is if they'll respond to it in a way that works out. But the EU loves tech regulations and all this is doing is highlighting a very specific way. Unlike the other ECIs that try to push some super ambitious thing like saying that water everywhere should be owned by government, or ending pesticide use.

Some games are unpirateable because of their dependency on serverside code. This lets you pirate them. Now you'll say those games are trash and not worth pirating anyway.

Fully capturing the campaign demands was always a stretch goal. Ross himself said that there'd probably have to be concessions such as limitations on which devs it applies to (e.g. indie studios based on revenue/resources) and what kind of model they use (subscription, etc)
We just don't know. Maybe they'll be lazy fucks but at least we'd know if we can even do something about it.
Thing is that this is a pretty easy regulation to pass, it only affects video games, not even software as a whole, and would just mandate that they take measures to ensure their shit works after losing the online element in some form.

I looked into it and I'd say that 2 out of the 10 are well on their way of getting what they want and another one (The water one) had a good amount of positive change even if it didn't fully meet what it was going for.

None of these campaigns are for consumer rights on industries, though. The vidya is the first one that is exactly about that. The other ones are all about more moral things (More rights for minorities, end industries that are harmful to animals, shit like that)

Like I said above, I think we have at least 30% odds of getting what we want. And that means it was worth the effort to give it a shot.

>>714394376
Germany isn't a single voting block. Neither are France or other countries.

Representatives from it will vote differently, it will more likely be divided by party lines, with leftists more likely to vote for it while economic right will vote against it.

The far right will maybe vote for it, because its representatives are mostly far-right millennials who have grown to despise videogames because "woke ruined it" and will do anything they think will kill the industry

And the far-left vote against it because they are a bunch of contrarians and argue that "this legislation isn't doing enough for the working class and doesn't abolish private property anyway so we are voting against it".

All in all, it's a 50/50 that it past.

I mean that the server binary is a secret itself. People will reverse engineer it and find out how various mechanics and features work that they were never meant to know the internals of. Ability to host your own server means publishing the server binar(y/ies) and that would be revealing a secret.

You forgot test drive 3, man that game was weird as hell, i'm glad Ross covered it, it's fascinating seeing the kinds of hidden worlds in old games that no one ever gazed upon or thought of in over 20 years

You ever play that one game where you knock a ball around?

Running an online game server cost money indefinitely, shutting a server down because it's no longer profitable is a completely valid reason for any business regardless of its size. When a customer purchases a game, they are buying the ability to run that executable locally. The idea that shutting down a game server is the same as destroying the player's copy of that game is completely incorrect. Forcing games to be compatible with private servers sounds nice in principle, but if the server code contains copyrighted material then it could end up being very awkward to accomplish in reality.

The only law I can see coming out of this is that game devs/publishers will need to specify an end date for when their games will no longer be supported. A bit like how some tech companies publish EOL dates software or hardware. Otherwise it's down to the customer to boycott games that partake in shitty practices.

It wouldn't, but that would be incredibly based if it did

>They are in the council.
The council can black a legislation with a qualified majority (which means it require to represent at least 55% of the EU countries while also representing at least 65% of the population), so it's unlikely they will be able to block it.

Once it pass the EU parliament, it's a done thing.
