Thread 714419491

How many signatures has Pirate Software faked? His ego is hurt.It wouldn't be beneath him. And it seems like it got 300k signatures in last 2 days. Even at night. Very suspicious.

>>714419491 (OP)
He's such a worm and apparently he has a community of like minded losers at hand.

He is right about everything.

>muh rigged
No, it just recieved a massive boost in bipartisan support thanks to YouTube algorithms. Literally every Euro from nearly every demographic who cares enough about video games supports SKG.

You literally have a movement that everyone's on board with regardless of their background. A movement for video games. Of course that shit is going to skyrocket with enough attention.

if you ever hear this guy talk w/o his voice fiter...gg

>>714419491 (OP)
Will you get off his dick? Seriously, this guy doesn't care about you and Accursed fucking retard. You're wasting your time with this. And besides, it's not going through since the majority of it are fraudulent.

TOTAL FURFAG DEATH

>>714420551
Even Ross said the numbers don't add up. 30k Europeans are not awake at 3am to sign a petition.

>>714420551
Even Ross said that people have messaged him that they're spoofing votes. He also noticed that there were a bunch of votes still flowing in during EU nighttime.
He has no idea if 1.4mil votes will be enough, it's fog of war right now and the best move is to keep it up and keep getting real people to sign.
Something like 20% over the limit is considered a fairly risk-free threshold under normal circumstances, what SKG probably needs is double or triple that if the botting allegations are anywhere as serious as speculated

Never underestimate cultish morons.

It's gonna be so funny if this gets voted into law in the EU. Indie games are gonna be region locked away from the europoors.

>>714421713
How many indie games are always online? How many indie games can afford to lock out 40% of their customers?

Nice strawman.

I knew this guy was shady early on. The "i used to work at Blizzard" thing will never not be funny. This retard actually thinks he's an important figure in the gaming world.

>>714421713
>It's gonna be so funny if this gets voted into law in the EU.
It's going to be funny when it doesn't go through and the EU throws this in the trash because there's so many fraudulent submissions. This entire thing is fucking stupid and so are you.

Wouldn´t be more reasonable than anything that at ¨night¨ (In either West Coast or East Coast) is when more votes are cast?
At midnight, It´s already around 05:00 or 06:00 in Portugal, the closest Country in the EU to the West.

I'm pretty sure the security consultant thing was just a lie. The only verifiable real job he's had was being a tester for StarCraft 2 and a glorified GM in WoW that allowed him to LARP as a security expert.

It's OK to completely stifle the creative freedoms of solo-devs because 30 years from now I might get the itch to play Anthem

>>714423120
name a single solo dev this affects

>>714423120
99.999% of solo devs aren't making live service games hombre

>>714419491 (OP)
How many ferrets has he fucked is the real question we should be asking

>>714423120
"Muh solo-devs, who are making $300 million MMOs in their basement. How will they survive?"

Why do people hate this guy?
"It's incredibly important to me that we keep making games and that the next generation has the tools to do so so our medium won't die out."
He cares about gaming. Also he used to work at Blizzard.

You can concieve of any connective functionality beyond MMO and live service. Absolute devlets.

>>714423397
>Also he used to work at Blizzard.
oh no, if he was emplyed by blizzard it means his wit has no bounds

Regardless of your views on this, can we at least agree that people with very noticeable egos should not have unregulated access to high quality microphones and a platform to speak on?

>>714423120

It's not actually eroding creative freedom dumbass but also you can't do these particular things because they are dumb I assume even though I don't know what they are.

/v/ doesn't actually care about this at all and just wants to make threads about this guy
Am I correct?

>>714423846
Correct. It's a barely disguised streamer thread.

>>714419491 (OP)
i hope someone is backing up their discord logs when eu comes down looking trough the organized attempt at disrupting legal process.

well they used at least.
recently it stopped, probably that last braincell finally kicked in or they got instructed to spend their time faking petition votes.

I don't get this whole drama, can someone please explain it for me?

Isn't that ugly long haired guy the one who left his friends to die in WoW hardcore?
Is he the baddie now too?

>>714425591
He skimmed the SKG initiative, made a bunch of shit up about it and actively advocated against it, which seriously hurt the initiative's public image

>>714420551
ross is right to expect gayops but this post rings true. its astonishing how every single person of every single sort of belief can come together ant vote in favor of this out of both hate for corporations and a love for the medium
my only hope personally is that there isnt a huge portion of spoofed signatures and its still enough for the majority of the EU to actually take a look at this

>>714425762

Oh i thought he was in support of it.

>>714425420
hope you kill yourself, Figtree

I've heard ferrets are both the best and worst pets due to their cheeky nature, how true is it?

>>714426516
I've heard they like eating random shit and their intestines get clogged really easily
So you either need an enclosure that's 100% retard proof or shill out vet surgery payments on the regular
I might be 100% wrong though that's just what I think I remember hearing once

>>714420817
I dunno, I'm regularly up at 3am on a weekday because I have a fucked up sleep schedule and the sort of extremely online people who'd care about this probably also do. Still it's possible a bunch of retard murricans thought it's a good idea to try to fake signatures because they hate pirate or as a weird way of sabotaging it.

So if i get this right

The stop killing games crowd wants to force developers to
1. Not be able to update the game changing its core mechanics
2. Not be able to stop udating it and close the servers?

How tf do people think just signging shit can force others to slave away on a game for the rest of their lives?
If i make a game and i don't like a character so i change how he plays you can't sue me you stupid bitch. And if it has 0 players left like concord i have the right to close the server.

>>714427051
>1. Not be able to update the game changing its core mechanics
wrong
>2. Not be able to stop udating it and close the servers?
wrong.

>>714425772
Not only that, any EU politician looking at it is rubbing their hands knowing they can easily milk this for free goodwill at no cost to their careers. It's not like the publishers is going to lobby the politician enough, so they'll throw them under the bus in order to appeal to gamers.

Someone google if a human penis can fit in a ferret asshole/vagina I don't want to be put on a list.

>>714427476
not overnight, but his image is ruined and his best days are gone by

>>714419491 (OP)
This would require knowing about tech which he has shown he does not have a basic understanding of

>>714427589
Unlike you we don't actually stick our dicks in ferret's

>>714427051
basically they want to be able to own the product they purchased, exactly like you can when you buy any other product. meaning games that can't be accessed at all without developer intervention would be gone. say you buy fortnite but then development stops or the official servers shut down, skg would allow players to access all of the content that was available right before support ended. this means the game either needs to work offline or players have access to hosting their own servers. as it stands when you buy a game you are licensed ownership to that content in perpetuity, but developers/publishers are allowed to deny access to it which is literally illegal

You people don't understand. He had to rape those ferrets, it was life saving care.

>>714427368

it's probably more legit than it it seems
the number on videos posted last night are quite insane
still, better to just assume it's bots and keep pushing for more votes

Here's an unpopular opinion: he's right about SKG, and it will make the gaming industry worse. Because we know the axiom: the more regulated the market, the worse it is for everyone—both producers and consumers. The direct path to improving product quality is REDUCING market regulations, even to the point of their absence.

This is exactly why American goods are far superior in quality to European ones. This is why American service is far better than European service. Because the market in the US is freer. And the freer the market, the better it is for everyone.

SKG, on the other hand, proposes additional regulations that will burden producers but ultimately lead to all costs being passed on to consumers.

Those who oppose absolute market freedom are shooting themselves in the foot.

eh... I bet if a big time streamer smashed a baby with a hammer live on stream they'd still have a portion of their audience try and justify/defend their actions.
I could see a reduction in viewership, but not a full shunning. Who knows. Maybe the ferret shit will garner him a different kind of audience.

As a libertarian, I openly oppose this initiative because it involves market regulations, which are bad and only lead to worse outcomes. On the contrary, corporations should be given MORE freedom to manage their goods.
I sincerely believe that the modern EU is a veritable soi GULAG and an extremely poor example to follow.

>REDUCING market regulations
If you don't have a law that says a beef company can't put rat meat in its burgers then the company will put rat meat in its burgers
coporations behave like a fluid, and will always take the path of least resistance to reach profit, the job of regulations is not to hinder business as you imply, but to direct that fluid in a satisfactory way that both allows profit and keeps the consumer from having to eat rat meat burgers

Have you ever eaten euro food? Believe it or not it's not pumped full of corn syrup and has actual meat in it.

>>714428128
Yes, it's OK. You can just... NOT BUY THOSE GAMES. Some games may burn brightly but briefly. Others will stay with you forever. That's the beauty of a free market—you can choose what YOU LIKE. You're not obligated to buy every game or agree to every condition. It's your money, and only you decide how to spend it.
>>714428238
At the very least, they might start factoring the costs of preserving a game after its shutdown into the product's price, which would immediately drive up prices.

It could also reduce the number of attempts to create a new hype-driven game like Fortnite, meaning fewer live-service games. Let me remind you that, although 95% of live-service games fail, the remaining 5% transform the industry for the better.

Several member states of the EU don't require any id verification when signing, so you could just make up shit to fill the fields. This would, of course, fail on the verification step of SKG which is what Mald and his discord were aiming for when they began flooding the petition with false signatures.

>>714428539
Wow! Hit a nerve right here!

Easy, guys. If you're okay with it, that's your right. I'm not judging you. I'm just stating the fact that all the most popular food brands are American. Everyone knows American cuisine, but from European cuisine, people only know pizza. And even then, only because Americans took the concept and made it better than the Italians did.

>>714428987
Not that I don't believe you but do we have any actual proof of this? Because it could potentially get them in jail.

>>714428668
>You can just... NOT BUY THOSE GAMES
