That guy? I watched a short video where he talked about WoW for a few seconds before and thought it was interesting to learn about. Then I watched a normal video of his and I couldn't make it 2 minutes in. Something about his personality irritates the hell out of me. It is like a mix of smug and know-it-all.

It's actually insane that a few weeks ago I never watched him and only knew this guy from a bit of WoW drama and otherwise he seemed like any other YouTuber who talks about tech and whatnot, now my entire perception is that he is a narcissist who thinks he is right no matter what. Crazy to just ruin your reputation over something that isn't even radically political or taboo. Like he picked the hill nobody has a problem with to die on. At least give your thoughts on Palestine or something if your going down

I drink whiskey but I don't really want tarr in my lungs

The disgusting behavior of the SKG community is exactly why I no longer support it. It's just fucking gamergate at this point.

>>714486795
I think a majority of people aren't really happy when they hear the sound of their own voice. The fact that he has such an obsession about how he sounds, and straight out lies by saying he went through a second puberty in his thirties, just highlights another one of his narcissism traits.

>>714486329
He has never been that important in his life

>>714487032
yeah for sure, hyperfixating on it is unhealthy. I just smirk whenever I hear him talk because I know I'll never be this insecure.

>>714486795
The voice modification thing is a hoax though. He just puts compression on his voice to give it that radio quality which is pretty normal if you have a high-end audio setup, it's what podcasters do

>>714487137
There was a recording of him on some ecent where he couldnt modulate his voice and no, he actually does pitch correct himself by an octave or 2
Wish i could find the link though

>>714487137

I don't have any more words, in his mind is reality wrong?

>>714484985
He’s a fart huffing cunt. During the streamer WOW thing he shat on people for mistakes until he was called out for being the one causing said mistakes. At which point he tried to downplay it. He also roached during a raid like a complete faggot.

>>714487703
I remember pitching his voice up after anons pointed it out and it was the range i got to sound natural before it became obviously modulated into a chipmunk.

>>714482745
How is that literally any different than before? Guild wars has been online for two decades at this point. Arguably that would literally solve SKG if the servers never went offline it wouldn't be an issue of losing access to your game.

>>714486669
It's hard for regular people like us to understand because it's probably mental illness. Most humans know how to adapt to changing circumstances. This guy is convinced the entire world is wrong OR he knows he's wrong but literally can't admit it due to mental illness.
That's why you have so many people completely baffled by his behavior.

>>714489080
DSP just shows you can be a bottom of the barrel human being and still have a decent following of asskissers or people who pay to see the train wreck continue

didn't he win some streamer of the year award recently? he had to have spoken into a mic that isn't his. does he do any IRL streams? seems like its something easily debunked

>>714487063
uh he has his own wiki. do you?

>>714489273
Yeah the streamer awards thing is much more recent than that old video the other anon sent, and his voice sounds closer to his allegedly altered voice

>>714481690
Don't know what people are smoking but here he at least gives the pretense of being more humble, don't care if he really is but if he started acting that way from the get go nobody would've had a problem with it. He still doesn't admit having misunderstood anything from the start but whatever. If he had his autism or ego in check from the start it wouldn't have happened, but my instinct tells me he thought he could've gotten away with since he's a bigger eceleb than Ross.

>>714489080
The easy answer is he's an industry plant.

>>714492581
If he was a plant he would have had his shit kicked in on the first retard outburst due to being a perfect anti-shill for the industry.
This is his genuine behaviour. He IS that retarded.

>>714494632
Does he realize he could've helped steer it in what he believes is the "correct path" if he had an honest talk instead of seething in his corner. The initiative starts from a consumer problem, you're not going to convince people if you say "it's wrong" without addressing problems consumers are facing. Same energy as devs seething at people blaming UE5: the root of the consumer problem is degrading optimization of PC games but similarly people just stop at surface level "it's not an engine problem" and leave it at that.

>You learn as a kid that your lies eventually catch up to you, that once you've been found out its fucking over
My best guess is that he never had to face consequences for his lies catching up to him. Or never any serious ones. Perhaps, though, it's because back in the day when he lied, there was less evidence floating around. He's been under a microscope since the WoW drama, and every single thing he does is archived and analyzed. He's probably never had to watch himself this much before. He's used to people forgetting because few people, if any, were recording.

>>714495717
>honest talk
Did you see how he reacted during the HC WoW meltdown? I think it's literally a pattern where he just shuts dowm and leaves the moment he senses he's going get destroyed lmao. Literally roaching out of arguments unless he has complete control.

>mfw this "seasoned Blizzard veteran" still codes in magic numbers
>not even a little, it's so bad that his code needs a glossary of notes to remind him what all the values do because he isn't naming his variables properly
How is he more incompetent at coding than basic tech support people? How do you write more than a couple scripts in your lifetime and not realize that effectively communicating what your code does is important for maintenance? This isn't me being an optimization snob. This is just basic practice if you interact with a coding language for work on any fucking level. Did this ferret fucker ever expect to finish his notEarthbound game?

It's the fact he did do (or still does) live coding streams, which helps prop the allusion that he's a good coder. Think about it, how many devs actively stream their dev time? Even Yandev goes on Salty Bet and hides from his patreon
Also I'm 50/50 if people actually want to play it, Undertale is like Sonic + Homestuck in the autism olympics, people loved Yellow even though that wasn't a Toby game.

Sort of. Think of stage plays. The actors have various training exercises for their vocal performances. One of those would be learning how to project your voice so the audience can hear it. I believe Jason just took voice-coaching lessons to learn how to project his voice and make it sound "fuller". But it is not his natural voice. Or wasn't. I'm not sure if you can actually stretch your vocal cords to make your voice deeper 100% of the time.

The requirements for Finnish signatures are actually very lax. You only need name, DOB and address/zip code. I could sign for my parents and most of my friends if I wanted to and they would probably be counted as valid votes.
I think some countries require some e-sign in which has had outages, so it makes sense why Finland would have proportionally higher signs. It's very easy and doesn't require you to dig any ID card for a lengthy serial you don't have memorized. There's also the fact that Finns are probably relatively more connected to games/internet than the average European

>>714498202
Kinda. You need to hit the threshold in a handful of countries because they don't want you to be able to do a Germany-only initiative for some reason.
SKG is long past that point, so the threshold part isn't relevant anymore, but individual votes still help.

Well, doing voice training and using a good audio setup to have a cool radio voice is rational and isn't really something that merits making fun of a career streamer for in my opinion. I didn't buy into the voice hoax thing even before he was widely hated, and I still don't. It feels like a gay redditor dogpiling thing when there are so many stronger things to criticize him about.

>>714499747
nothing like this has happened

>>714501142
FUG :D

>>714481690
I honestly wonder if he has ever said one truthful thing about himself. Like at all, to anyone. The moment he opens his mouth the lies seem to just flood out.

>>714481690

They're his friends. It's hard to admit when your friend is retarded.

>>714486669
He attacked Ross and SKG because he's literally actively developing a live service game, which means if this initiative goes through, he won't be able to screw people out of money with his currency printer.

>>714503663

AWOOOOOOO!

>>714498042
Sure, but any entry level class in high-school or college or even your first hour of coding videos on YouTube will bring up basic rule of thumb shit like this.

I don’t work in a particularly high-level script job, where a lot of people are just Associate’s degree or even learning cert trained, and the most I ever see of magic numbers is shit that’s easy to intuit through context like 365 being days in a year or 24 being hours in a day. How did this fuckwad work for a major tech company for 7 years and not pick up on this on high-school script kid basic knowledge?! No fucking wonder he has a problem letting games live on, he’s probably under the impression that every single one has his retarded understanding of how you code.

>>714500434
We already solved the *free unlimited access to video games* issue

>>714501019
lol, all he had to do was shut up. Or not talk about SKG any more. Instead he did the one thing that he shouldn't have done. It's entirely self inflicted.
Even now he tries to spin shit around and present himself as the victim trough even more lies like the supposed review bombing that didn't happen. He just cannot shut up and stop lying, hell I expect a child to understand what the jig is up and you stop with this shit.

I don't think he has anything against the SKG stuff, or at least, didn't
It was presented to him, and either because it wasn't his idea, or it was someone he never heard of or whatever, he was simply against it for the sake of being against it. He wasn't disagreeing with the idea, but disagreeing with the person in a bid to look like the smartest person in the room. Then he had to double down and triple down and maybe started to actually believe his nonsense.

It's extremely common to disagree with someone rather than something, especially if you're a dickhead like he is.

>>714504627
He didn't talk about it more, Ross was responding to a 10 month old video

>>714489148
Normal people act like Pirate Software, people on 4chan definitely skew towards the fraction of the population with self awareness. Most co-workers I know would act exactly like Pirate Software if they weren't so stupid that they have zero topics they can claim to be a know-it-all about besides sports.

>>714504714
nah he's definitely against it but also too retarded to read it so his arguments are all strawman

>>714504816
nah I don't think he was against it initially, I don't think he had a real opinion on it either way

>>714482745
Multiplayers has no reason to have sequels. You dont see dota 3 or csgo 3, right?

I wonder if people just discovering Ross will become hooked on Game Dungeon as well. I hope they do, Ross deserves exposure.

How many signatures were spoofed? At the beginning of the campaign the high and low signature counts roughly corresponded with EU daytime hours but now it's just a linear curve upwards hour by hour, which if these were real votes it would be almost mathematically impossible.

I'm going to guess 300k real signatures tops.

>>714481420 (OP)
what games have been saved exactly?

You guys really want more Indians making your games eh?

>>714505441
I think not many really. My bet is that at THE VERY WORST its 200k and the real number is around 60-100k, which have already been covered today.

>>714497760
where do you check it?

>>714505153
Yes, I'm not saying he didn't do any of those things. You really ought to spend more time looking at patterns. People are quick to disagree with people rather than ideas. It happens all the time, especially in things like politics. People will disagree with a person presenting an idea, and in doing so, they'll shit on or disagree with the idea presented.
Every single person on the planet does this at one point or another. Usually they'll say retarded things they don't actually mean or care about to justify the disagreement, usually attacks on character or empty statements.
Pirate probably just disagreed with it being presented from someone he considered beneath him, shit all over Ross and the idea, and then justified it to himself, and doubled down, adopting the position genuinely.
I'm not defending this guy at all, he's a gay furry with a fake voice who cares way too much about his presentation and persona, I'm simply rationalizing his irrational behavior.

It’s not...it’s not shutting down...

>>714494250
We can always flip the coin again and hope it lands on its edge

They are, and we are absolutely headed towards a future where all new games, from mobile to indie to AAA, are free2play and ads will pop up every 30 minutes.

Alright, I've got a base level understanding of the SKG goal. They want games to ship with offline compatibility / gameplay, so that people don't feel robbed when a game reaches EOL.
What stops game developers from coding in Tic-Tac-Toe, plinko, pong, or some other extremely simple game to satisfy the SKL requirement of offline gameplay? For instance, Concord fails, push out the chess update, cut live service.

>>714507742
"Ship with" was the wrong terminology, from my understanding they want games to have an EOL plan for continued accessibility to gameplay.
But it also states they understand games losing "some features".
To me it sounds like a form of regulation that can turn into a malicious compliance scenario.

he really has the most punchable faggot face of all time

>>714503740
this is false though...
Even if SKG is completely successful it wont stop live service to milk idiots dry, it will only stop games from being completely not preserved after the cows dries up.

People really can't seem to grasp what this is about. It's not about how devs conduct their game design, it is about taking away access to the software they sold.

For the lazy, GDPR has nothing on game preservation and DRM laws, though have exceptions to keep products alive, aren't mandated and thus the need for change.

The good point though is Licensing Laws, which most likely will be the case. "Buy" button becomes "Subscribe" and the facade of buying discs/games instead of codes goes away

>>714508912
>"Buy" button becomes "Subscribe"
This won't happen because it's a much worse hit to profits than allowing offline client-side play and server hosting.
Licensing and subscriptions need an end date, and if you try to sell people a game at the same price with a limited license duration, you WILL lose money. Even reducing the price and moving to a subscription system would hurt badly; most likely the first company trying it would suffer and the rest would get scared. The present system sells games at a high price when the buyer may only play them for a few hours anyway, and that's better than any subscription model where the buyer pays much less and then cancels that subscription after those few hours of play.

>>714509186

When looking at Apple and their EU Usb-C requirement, the first thing Apple started to do was develop and improve on port-less capabilities through things like MagSafe; rebranded wireless charging.
Sure, the next gen or two will have the Usb-C port to satisfy the requirement during development, but all in all, once charging ports are removed from iPhones regulation would be to blame.
"You must utilize Usb-C for cable requirements" gets deconstructed to "If we have no cables at all, there's no reg to comply with."

>>714504714
The truth is, he didn't read it thoroughly, he just skimmed it. Then he made very strong and sweeping claims about the movement, leveraging his "expertise" as a game dev, which were incorrect. The only valid proposition he put forward was "we need to be careful how things are written into law." But you can say that about nearly everything, so it's an empty statement. He mis-read something, and then hyper focused on that one thing, and ignored people telling him he was missing the forest for the trees. He seems to genuinely believe that if the initiative goes through, what's written in it will become law as it's written in the initiative. He's a maroon.

>>714509448
Even in his misinterpretation of what's going on that he's sticking to as a matter of life and death he's still insanely cross-eyed about it is the thing that kills me. Why would it be a bad thing that dead games get restored? Who cares that it's not possible for games whose teams were completely dissolved? That would be the publisher's burden to figure out all that shit and it's not going to be something the vast majority of publishers even have to worry about, because most publishers aren't EA, Ubisoft, Epic, the monolithic titans that pull this kind of shit in the first place. The few lower grade or "indie" publishers it might affect with games like Deep Rock Galactic (developed by Ghost Ship and published by Coffee Stain) wouldn't have to worry about it because they haven't completely destroyed the developers they work with and the developers would be completely amenable to an end-of-life path for the game.

I hope whatever law the eu makes will be named after him because his contribution was instrumental to the initiatives success.
Some kind of backronym of thor would work quite well.

What would save this is some.kind of copyright abandonment clause

(it's me again) to add to this this would only apply to MMOs that are sold as an upfront purchase (or expansions to MMOs that are an upfront purchase). if your MMO is legitimately just a subscription and there's nothing you can "buy" in it then according to Ross it would be fair game since that really is a service and they aren't pretending like it's a purchase.

So it appears that the same insane faggot, evil-ass loser third-worlder that's been spamming /k/ threads trying to demoralize everyone, calling everyone jews, and shitting up the threads for actual weeks 24/7 has ALSO been posting in these threads. Pic related is literally copy-pasted from /k/ threads and you could probably spot some really weird, targeted, anti SKG demoralization posts here as well with similar language. Pic related literally copy pasted from /k/ threads. Seems like this freak is just legit mentally ill and just wishes the worst for people. Too bad for this loser we're actually winning.

How braindead do you have to be to think it's legally safe to sunset a game on the goodwill of the community running a server instance. If nobody does it they have a class action lawsuit on their hands because the game wont function.
If any "work" is required to make the game function, beyond that which is already in place before the game servers are closed, then you are legally liable as per the current wording of the campaign.

Its so fucking simple yet because it's become fashionable to shit on some retarded streamer we're campaigning for legislation that will harm videogames to a bunch of boomers in EU courtrooms who have never touched a gaming system in their lives.
>>714510974
>Yeah so future (FUTURE) MMOs will be made with server software that can legally be distributed to players.
Functional, playable, state.
Distributing server software does not make my game playable once you've closed the servers. It relies upon a third variable that the developer has no control over.
>What do you think will happen? Do you think companies that want to make MMOs will just stop making them?

>>714511784
No it doesn't.
You've introduced an additional step that must be completed before the game is functional and playable, and therefore it would not comply with the requirement set out in the campaign.

Thats wrong, patching games is a routine part of the "game ownership" process already, if you stop patching a live-service game you'll already lose access to it.
You can't close down an MMORPG and just make it "functional and playable" with a routine patch.
Someone, somewhere, needs to make the effort to run a private server people can connect too. Or the player needs to run their own local server.
Either way, you've introduced a whole new technical requirement and process that the CUSTOMER must complete, in between the closure of the game, and the game being "functional and playable" again.
It's so fucking simple, and yet you retards cant grasp why this campaign has the legal literacy of a 5 year old.

>>714512039
Having to set up your private server in order to play the game is fine. You're just being retarded

>>714512039
You fucking retard, your interpretation of "functional playable state" is not what will get into the law. The EU's interpretation is. The law will outline specific cases and exceptions as needed. If the law says "releasing server software and allowing the game to connect to custom servers is enough to be compliant" then releasing server software is compliant. Your interpretation of functional playable state is irrelevant. But you already know this, this is just a really poor attempt at trolling.

The simple fact is that out of every single entertainment industry, gamers are the most brand and corpo friendly. No other medium has people side so much with billionare corporations.
Books? There are singular fans of writers but that's that.
Comics? Yeah Marvel vs DC but that hasn't been really a thing in looooooong time. Usually people just likes comics ig.
Movies and TV? Maybe closest ones, but you don't have people defending shittiest Disney/Illumination/Dreamworks for example except in EXTREMELY rare tards. Same with Hollywood or even individual country's cinema.
Anime? People shit on anime and outside of having *the animes to watch*, you don't have people defending shitty practices.
Vidya?
Jesus_Fucking_Christ almighty. Not only fucking consolewarriors who defends every single shitty vidya and most sloppiest of safe slop, but gamers defend fucking corporations and jumps in front of corpos to take bullets if any regulations go through. Do people who watch movies go out their way to defend Hollywood doing shitty stuff? No fucking way. But people here defends corpos so people don't hurt their feelings or make them do the most basic shit to keep vidya playable.

Seriously. Like actually think about it.
No other fans or consumers of media defends corpos and suits to this extent. You don't see people cry that "waaaah film makers needs to do basic safety checks for shooting the movie this is wrong fucking goverment regulations!!!"
There are no fans as self-cucked as shareholder dick sucking corposluts as gamers.

You can't have both the arguments (which are mutually incompatibles):

>Releasing the server will reveal too many of our corporate secrets to the public, it will make new release of new games difficult
>Releasing the server is useless, it's too difficult to use for the public

simultaneously.

Those are two absolutely incompatible arguments. The same game dev is unironically using both in his argument to not release the server. The server is somehow: too useful for hackers, and not useful enough for hackers to maintain the game.

This is bullshit. I hope you see how this is bullshit. There is precious naught more bullshit than two absolutely opposite argument being made in the same paragraph.

>>714512953
neither of your greentexts represent the point I'm making.
"the game must be left in a functional (playable) state"
is legally incompatible with a requirement for the CUSTOMER to take additional steps, beyond what they would normally have to do (before the game servers were closed), in order to run their game.

All that needs to be done to shut down this entire fiasco is for the wording to be tweaked to allow SOME burden of responsibility to fall on the customer to render the game functional and playable, instead of JUST the developer.

At the moment, the headline wording of this campaign leaves zero margin for the latter sentiment.

yes, that is still defined as functional. just like when you buy a computer you have to configure windows before it is functional. the operating word is "resonably functional", not "as functional as it was when supported"

>We need this remodelled for SKG

>>714513009
Wrong. This kind of hurdle is exactly the shit corporations hate and don't want to deal with. You can tell by that retard shill nepobaby who is a corporate bootlicker crying so hard.

Indie devs don't have a hurdle because they can just make their game private servers only. Corpos can't do that because then they completely lose their money farm MTX trade because now the game has to have the ability for people to make their own servers.

This gives control back to people instead fo corporate fucks shutting down Game 1 to shill Game 2.

>>714513009
>The AAA studios will have no problem jumping over whatever legal hoops the EU throws at them
There's no need to do that. Just complying is way easier and costs almost nothing.

>This kind of regulation just thins out the competition for them from smaller studios
No it doesn't. smaller studios typically don't even bother leaving customer hostile functionality in their games to begin with.

Please note that you have to be negligent or actively malicious to include these kinds of server checks and remote-disables of peoples games to begin with. Just a normal game wouldn't even have those kinds of capabilities.

Indie games very rarely have a dedicated server and is typically running through steam multiplayer or a distributed program that can be used to host your own games. Being compliant in terms of single player game modes is easy as fuck.

>>714482745

im just curious whether anyone here has the mental capacity to understand the point im making (even if they disagree) and provide a counterargument that makes sense so that I can change my mind.

I agree with the sentiment behind this movement (stopping developers from just running away from beloved videogames and leaving the means of running them privately behind a brickwall), but the solution is not a sweeping imposition that live game services cannot be discontinued unless they are functinal and playable at point of closure, with all responsibility on the developer to make it so.
There has to be an acknowledgement that the customer will have to implement additional steps to make the game playable again, or, that they may be subject to the goodwill of a private server host.

That's one nice way to put it. In his stream months ago, he had the SKG page mentioning its goals open and what he read was not what was written.

>>714513379
what constitutes a functional computer is not the same as what constitutes a functional & playable game.
for a game to be considered functional and playable, you cannot reasonably expect the customer do anything more than they would usually have to do before the game's live-service features were discontinued.
The way to resolve this is a simple loosening up of the wording in the campaign to introduce some leeway for customer responsibility in the process of rendering the game playable again.

>>714513652
I understand it perfectly. It's a nitpick on what means ""the game must be left in a functional (playable) state". The issue is that, for most of the law, and the EU jurisprudence, if you left the server as a Win98 .exe behind 7 account registration, but technically it allows you to play the game and leave it "in a functional (playable) state", you're golden. You did your job. Congrat.

It's not __hard__ to follow the provisional law there. And that's more or less all players want. For you to leave your Windows 98 .exe server somewhere for it to be dissected.

>videogameseurope.eu

>>714513907
sure, if you mean that the word "functional" has a specific legal meaning, that can be watered down to whatever is the word to say "the company must provide the tools and documentation for a average programmer to replicate parts of the service". that is something that can be done, because they can always ask for less when talking to the lawmakers, what they cannot do is ask for more, so the initiative had to use the stronger language.

Okay let's say the server software requires some third party middleware or external services.

Because of the wording on the petition.
"This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state."

because the demand that games must be left functional and playable at the point they are closed does not include this acknowledgement. On the contrary it leaves no room for interpreting the statement in that way. At face value that headline statement of the campaign places the entire burden of responsibility on the developer, when legally, it needs to be a shared responsibility between both the developer and customer, the same way that the UK petition is written:
"The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them."
It must be a shared responsibility, and this must be crystal clear in the headline of your campaign. European lawmakers are too out of touch and retarded to understand your nuances of video game functionality. They will deem it a legally unsafe requirement and throw out.

So without talking like a schizo, what's the argument against Stop Killing Games? I do not understand.

The general fear comes from devs and idiots thinking that SKG would force games to require never-ending support and all developers to manage support for a game to remain in perpetuity. Live service would never end, servers would never go down. And that these sorts of games simply "cannot exist" under such a legal system. Not to mention some believing that creatively they'd be held back by these demands.

As someone else has said in response to these claims,
>It's not the "keep games alive" initiative, nor is it the "prevent games from dying" initiative. It's the "stop killing games" initiative.
The folks that do the mental gymnastics don't read the fine print of what SKG is actually going for. It knows that games can't remain with online features forever and all that stuff, and it isn't about making games remain in some peak or optimal state that it was in its prime with full online features. It's out to prevent something from becoming an absolute digital paperweight that is 100% unplayable once that expiration date hits.

99% fake its a flop, Ross and everyone who signed and shilled this shit is arrested in a EUssr Eurabian 4th reich gulag. Thor wins the nobel peace prize and gets crowned the emperor of America.

How is uploading a video of him being a retard defending him? Plus he flat out tog him he was wrong on twatter.

>>714509128
I used to see clips on youtube shorts of him sharing dumb takes about aspects of game development he clearly knew nothing about, with the same stupid overconfidence and condescension he always talks with, but I guess he's just a drama lolcow now.

They literally don't have to do anything but announce plans for end of life other than shutting down.....

1.6 million if the hype cools down after these recent events. There is still possibility of last 48 hour stretch doing record numbers if there's new influencer or figure announcing their support. Most optimistic bet would be 1.8 million.
>fakes
200k or 300k

>>714515367
2,4 million, 2,3 million of them are fake

People need to start saying "Okay but can you say that again and drop that fake voice you put on this time." in his chat. I can guarantee you that will break him.

>You just stopped the game please gimme your server so I can make it work and play the game again
>I can't because you're asking me to support my game for all eternity and that'd be for all eternity, you're literally trying to trap me into an eternal hell of all monetary damnation
>No like please gimme your server. like the .exe. I'd accept the code too. I just want to play the game.
>I will never accept the yoke of your foul hands touching my sweet server. Do you want my slavery for all eternity?
>what the fuck are you smoking, no but just give me the .exe I'd do the job pls
>You will never succeed, parasite, I WILL NEVER RELEASE THE SERVER, IT'S MINE! MINE!! MINE!

What happens if someone posts actual CP on a CS community server with a spray? Does Valve get in trouble if they don't report it somehow?
Spreading actually illegal shit is the only thing I'm a little hesitant about, since devs/publishers don't want to keep an eye on some random private servers of a game they've already abandoned. I assume they would be able to waive responsibility, but it could still be a really bad look PR wise

>>714515789
It's funny because give people incentive and they'll just do it themselves without permission. The Hitman reboot shit has a fan patch that outright replaces the need for the official servers by substituting it so that everything remains accessible.

>>714486969
>It's just fucking gamergate at this point.
Oh yeah, I guess it's about ethics in games, nice.

>>714516010
>What happens if someone posts actual CP on a CS community server with a spray?
It's on whoever host the server.
>Does Valve get in trouble if they don't report it somehow?
No. In what possible way would you ever think they would?

This is the EXACT shit I mean. Indie films don't suffer from Hollywood and billionare studios getting regulations. Nor do fucking FILM FANS OR MOVIE FANS OR WHATEVER JUMP IN TO CRY HOW POINTLESS AND WAAH WAAH THINK ABOUT THE 4-MAN MOVIE CREW HAVING TO CONSIDER LAWS MADE TO REGULATE SOME SCAMS MADE BY BILLIONARE MOVIE STUDIOS.

I now understand why Ross mentions gamers not understanding basic laws. He is 100% right just look at /v/.
/v/ always, ALWAYS sides with corpos instead of customers. Be it Nintendo, Sony, Valve, Tencent, or even fucking Ubisoft in Crew's case that launched this whole shit.
How fucking lame and embarrassing. Seriously. Gamers are the most retarded group in the world. Disney adults and Apple cultists have nothing on it. Nobody else identifies themselves through PRODUCTS as much as gamers.

>>714516010
>What happens if someone posts actual CP on a (web) server? Do (people maintaining web server software) get in trouble if they don't report it somehow?

>>714486969
The disgusting behavior of the Pirate Software community is exactly why I no longer support it. It's just fucking Kiwifarms at this point. In-house lolcow and all.

Why does the concept of a private/dedicated server sound like black magic to some people? It's not wizardry.

>>714516010
>Does Valve get in trouble if they don't report it somehow?
No. They're not affiliated with anything here. This would be like blaming Google if Lenovo ships Chromium browser on their devices and they set the default homepage to some CP site.
The person hosting the server is supposed to moderate it.

Is "second puberty" actually a thing he's said?

If so, then yes, definitely call into question his voice right in front of him as much as possible.

>>714516409
Post 2019 /v/ is full of people who unironically calls Dark Souls 2 a good game. Unironically. I don't know how the target audience changed, I have only the faintest idea how the IQ can fall this low, but always remember: you are sharing a board with people who unironically says Dark Souls 2 is a good game.

>>714515306
I find it hard to believe they actually believe that, and aren't just saying that because the actual reasons, like publishers not wanting their new more expensive games with more microtransaction to have to compete for players with their old, unsupported games that aren't making them money anymore, just sounds like greed.

>>714516581
because big tech spent the last 30 years trying to convince the public that services must run in a nebulous and magical entity known as the cloud that has magical undisclosed properties, and the cloud software cannot run on mere mortals machines. All of these because of technical requirements and not because they were trying to take a way user rights

>>714516409
Seriously even Star Wars fans shits on nee Star Wars. But you will never fucking see Nintendo or Sony fans even question their corpo overlords. They are aggressive towards "nonfans" like with comp Smash scene with Nintendo's case because Nintendo doesn't like it.
Seriously.
Nintendo fans are against Smash comp scene because Nintendo doesn't like them. Imagine Star Wars fans being against old Star Wars fans who likes the pre-Disney films Star Wars. Hell Sony fans despises PS1/PS2 Playstation fans because Jim Ryan said he doesn't understand who likes those games + Sony isn't a "tranime chink corpo" etc.

It's disgusting and embarrassing.

Don't care about EU petitions.
Don't care about EU regulations.

counterpoint: competitivecels, especially smelee troons are annoying and gay so it's funny to see them get fucked, even if it's by Nintendo and you think Nintendo is LE BAD

>Our membership covers the major video game publishers – many of which also have studios, and some of them have important esports activities – and national trade associations in 15 countries in Europe which represent in turn thousands of developers and publishers at national level.

EVEN without considering private servers literally every game can be played solo. PVP shooters can still keep vs bots modes. MMOs can be played as open world RPG campaigns. Even gachaslops have story modes that absolutely don't require a server running 24/7.
The only people who'd hate something like this are big corpo execs who try to force scarcity so people have to play the newest live service shit instead of old games.

>>714517410
in a slight bit of fairness, not every PvP game has bots
.. but the ones most people don't want to lose forever do

They don't affect your life at all.
>"B-Buh they don't like new Smash game comp si-"
And old SW fans complain about newer SW movies lacking magic. And only most obnoxious Disney ball licking shills are angry at statement like that. And nobody likes those guys.
But vidya scene?
MAJORITY OF VIDYA CIRCLES ARE LIKE THAT
People scream about emulation as well because it hurts corpo bottom line. Meanwhile moviefags pirate all day and say "l o l".

>we can't allow you to run your own servers because we have to be jannies
kek, get fucked and go away, this has never been an issue and no reasonable interpretation of the law makes the publisher liable for someone putting nigger in the server name

how many suicides would occur if Blizz shut down WoW servers for good?
there have to be at least a good few tens of thousand whales who have wasted every drop of disposable income and literal years of their lives on retail at this point

>>714517770
to be honest, if this is the best big tech can come up with, the whole thing is going to be a slam dunk at the EU
>we can't allow you to run your own servers because we have to be jannies
>the customer that runs the server assumes all liabilities.
