Yes, there might be fewer live-service games in the future.

>>714562357
You know, I can kind of understand pirate's mindset. Some people are just convinced they're always right, whether it's because they're stubborn, or they grew up spoiled, or they're insecure.
What I don't understand, is being one of the 3 hangers-on reacting with the pointing-up emoji. What's going on in these people's lives? What drives them to suck off someone like piratesoftware and feed him validation for every word? It's so weird. Reminds me of the karl jobst thing too where he has this whole discord full of groupies somehow, but he's just some guy? Where do these people come from?

>is there a reason why this initiative (which has been ongoing for fucking ages) is suddenly buzzing now?
some retard with inflated ego and autistic like no understanding of human emotions made bunch of shit up about initiative and its creator which hurt the initial momentum. Creator didn't want drama so he didn't respond but pressured by the deadline he finally responded and it cleared a lot of air, making it also obvious that the said retard is maliciously lying about the initiative. It created a rally point around initiative and various youtubers and streamers begun dunking on retard for his lies and easy views which created positive feedback loop:
>youtubers/streamers dunking on retard
>more people hear about why is he being dunked on
>people sign the initiative
>initiative begins picking up speed
>people spread the news of initiative picking up speed
>more people join in on dunking on retard
>repeat
I wonder if retard is aware how he made history and could be used as textbook #2 example of Streisand effect

>>714562932
it's just like his whole persona was created with deception in mind

>>714563403
it says it received your signature, it doesn't say it will be added to the count

>>714563570
Do you think there are some tiny invisibles gnomes at work there that can figure out if a signature is valid based on an address? Or signatures from Finland just straight up don't count?

>>714562902
>Where do these people come from?
abused families

>>714563752
>Do you think there are some tiny invisibles gnomes at work there that can figure out if a signature is valid based on an address?
yes smoothbrain, the signatures will be reviewed for potential fraud after the petition reaches its deadline
which is why its important to have more signatures than initial goal to make up for fraudulent signatures

>>714563752
Why don't you try and sign up with a fake name and address? Test out your own hypothesis.
Remember it's not a petition, it's government process and falsifying identity might send the glowies after you.

>>714562902
maybe it's like the people who pretend to be chris-chan's friend just so they can convince him to do retarded things that get him put in prison
they love retards and encourage them just so they can go along for the ride

>>714562384
Early on in the campaign, Pirate Software, aka Jason "Thor" Hall, aka Maldavius Figtree, denounced the movement, calling it bad for the industry, yadda yadda.

Ross, the leader of the initiative initially didn't want to start drama and ignored it. However, with the time running out and the signatures not being on-track to reach the limit, he decided to put out an hour-long update video, where over half the video was calling out Pirate Software and his arguments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIfRLujXtUo

By essentially latching onto the drama regarding an internet asshole whose recently been in a bunch of drama (remember the WoW streamer guild stuff?), he's able to propagate the campaign to more people, hence the large resurgence.

>>714562384
>is there a downside to it succeeding?
Some additional costs to the dev if they need to ship a stable dedicated server to the public? If you're worried about that there is are way bigger revenue sinks for devs. lol

>Of course, it's all projection, because he's a retard that cannot even comprehend the fact that he couldn't understand something very straightforward.

Partly it's because of "oh fuck I need to actually pay attention to this" when previously people thought it'd just get passed without them having to do anything because it's obviously sensible.

Hell when this came up last year I figured it'd easily pass in like a month or so, why wouldn't it? Very surprised to find out a few weeks ago that it was almost going to fail.

>>714561907 (OP)

literally all the games industry needs to say is

Hell, given that it's the EU they probably don't even need to go that far.
A simple

would suffice.

>>714567998
Nah, you're giving the retard too much credit. Yeah, he's a dishonest as fuck grifter who will lie through his teeth, but he's ALSO a complete fucking moron. The lie is him pretending he understands that shit in the first place. Even from an industry plant perspective it makes little sense to get up in arms against this initiative, since it's honestly very trivial for companies to implement end-of-life policy for those projects.

>>714567834

This was always going to succeed.

Ross and his gang were just lazy piece of shits going radio silent for 10 months doing zero promotions even after the initial hype reaching 400K. Felt like I was duped into signing it.

The PirateSoftware situation is such a fake manufactured bullshit. In the first place, his retarded takes were due to the godawful communication on part of the creators behind the petition. I don't blame him for it, the only ones deserving blame are the ones handling the petition.

The "leader" of the initiative, Ross, is one the ugliest piece of unwashed basement dwelling motherfuckers I've ever seen. They should've chosen someone more normal looking, preferably someone from EUROPE. He had one job though, promotion, and did it very poorly.

I'm happy the petition succeeded, but we could've easily done it 9 months ago.

>>714568304
Most of these people who watch these fags come from the US, no one in Europe cares about some e-drama bullshit asmongold who talks about identity politics half the time, or whatever bullshit is happening in the american internet right now.

The hubris of thinking they are somehow responsible for all of Europe watching their streams and going out to vote is so insanely laughable

>>714568497

>>714568278
>I-I live there! I am also asserting you don't based on absolutely nothing!
That's cute, anon, but that changes nothing of the fact that you clearly have no fucking clue about it, and are continuing to embarrass yourself by talking out of your ass.

The EU isn't politics, retard. It's trade, and matters to do with trade. It has never been politics despite what your local dumbshits are accusing them of because they need an easy 'le foreigners' scapegoat for their own abysmal policy failures.

>>714568120
>Even from an industry plant perspective it makes little sense to get up in arms against this initiative, since it's honestly very trivial for companies to implement end-of-life policy for those projects.
There's a crucial detail you're missing. Most megacorporations aren't competing with other megacorporations for consumers, they're competing with themselves.
A lot of cars have the life cycles extended by third parties far beyond what they were designed for, making it unnecessary for new cars to be bought. By turning goods into live services you retain the ability to take them out off the market whenever you feel like (usually right before or after releasing new "product"). Taking it away from megacorporations will make games stay in the market possibly indefinitely, which will saturate the market.
Saturated market = less demand = price has to drop
This is why they're so adamant on fighting the SKG

>>714568452
Ross did keep putting videos out about it but their views fell and he couldn't expand his audience even though he tried to get other Youtubers to talk about it. Meanwhile, Thor suppressed him and made videos full of lies about the petition that became more popular than Thor's actual videos explaining the petition.

It took Thor self-imploding and then a grace period before enough people who were misinformed or who watched Thor were willing to give Ross's position a second chance. Some of them saw the light.

Even if that was the case, a dev could just dump the source code since he's not going to work on the game anymore, the only reason the industry doesn't do it is pettiness

>>714568587
Nah. The most popular "evergreen" series are things like Fifa and CoD, all games that don't "die" to get replaced. This is a meme that gets pushed but it's actual relevance is so fringe it's pointless to even consider. Gaming companies nowadays are more about inventing the new "forever" game and when those fail it's because not enough people were playing it to matter in the first place.

This argument is complete nonsense that sounds plausible, but really isn't, at all.

On the contrary, they are asked to give ways to maintain local servers.
By the way, how many Indies do you know of that require servers that cost millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year?
It is something contradictory, all the indies that I have played and are multiplayer allow to host local games.

Fine, I don't watch them. But for example, in Finland we have our own image board, which is basically the biggest and most popular online discussion forum here. Also the subreddit is like 600k subscribers.

You should really actually look up the meaning of the word "politics" or "political" instead of throwing it around like a five year old that just learned (but not really) a new word.

Yes, anon, the EU is not political. By definition. It has attempted to be, and arguably should be so they can tardwrangle countries like Hungary and Greece, but it has not been successful and functionally isn't.

Parasocial relationship. Some people have been following him "since the beginning" and thinks of him as their friend. Even if they give him money monthly and at best gets a small "thanks" and PirateSoftware remembering his biggest simps by name.
Like it's even worse than Vtuber fans, because usually they at least realize the vtuber is just doing their job and that they aren't her(or his) friends or will never get laid with her(or him(actually if you are a girl fan you might have a shot if you cute/lewd-max))

>>714568615
>but their views fell
>he couldn't expand

Yeah, he kept failing because he did a really bad job. You have to be a special kind of fuckup to let a nobody with known bad takes like Thor suppress your whole movement.
Let's not forget, the first month had a lot of hype with lots of people dedicating whole videos to the subject. The momentum and interest was always there.

All he needed to do was to ask other Youtubers to say a few sentences about it at the end of their videos, consistently. Asking people to constantly make essays about it was never going to work.
Not looking like a mystery meat gremlin would've also helped a lot.

I didn't sign because Ross asked me to. I would never listen to an unwashed basement creature from ameritardia. I signed because I saw legitimate Europeans standing behind the petition, giving their names and contact information to it. Hearing from reliable youtubers also helped bring awareness.
This was never supposed to be about Ross, because frankly, he has no business getting involved how Europe should run itself. People are incredibly vary and tired of initiatives pushed by America.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure he's living in Poland. I think his wife is polish so maybe he has dual citizenship. Also it's not really that he's an American trying to interfere with Europe, it's more that America is a lost cause on this topic but the EU can get shit done which in turn those policies are expanded to the rest of the world out of convenience from the companies.

Americans have terrible reading comprehension, with an illiteracy rate of 21%.

You mustn't under any circumstance make americans have to read anything. You must explain them through the simplest possible words first. Only once they have a preliminary understanding of the subject can they be presented with reading material, which must constantly reaffirm and reinforce how smart they are for having expert knowledge of the subject at hand.

That's why it was such a bad idea to champion this cause from America.

I think the issue is that a substantial amount of people view media as disposable by design. You're not supposed to be enjoying a movie from 1930, you're supposed to be watching the new blockbuster. You're not supposed to be playing Mario Kart on the SNES, you should be playing Mario Kart World. It doesn't matter what level of artistry or creativity is involved, it doesn't matter how much you might love it, you're supposed to use media like you're squeezing juice out of an orange. You don't keep the orange after drinking the juice.
Maybe it's not a substantial amount of people who believe this but these people are certainly silent on it. To be fair it's not like there aren't more important topics that people should be getting up and arms about.

Running what campaign?

There was dead silence about the petition for whole 10 months.
I kept checking the ECI site regularly, wondering what the fuck is even going on and if it's even still alive.

>>714570912
>I am proudly demonstrating my own ignorance to try and make a point!
Why is this kind of retardation so common these days?

>>714570856
Don't you mean niggers?

Regardless, both are considered American citizens and you have to deal with it.
And I'm going to let you on a secret: white americans aren't much better off. Enough to look at the stupidity emanating out of Washington and Oregon.

the power of beheading billionaires. the people have spoken and we hold all the power, not the industry, not the heckin billionaires and their paid shills but WE the people

Well, yes, many are shitposters, but Twitter has taught to me there truly there isn't a limit to human stupidity.

>>714570051
So I told that teachin' lady the only three words I need to know are U.S.A!

>>714571001
Are you saying it's my fault for not watching some gremlin's shitty youtube channel enough?

So it was a grift all along?

You can't argue with the fact that there were near zero promotion and the signatures completely stalled for 10 whole months.
You can't blame the target of an advertisement campaign for somehow not seeing your ad. That's bad marketing.

The biggest hurdles for the entire campaign have been trying to get other people to help promote it (too many fags didn't want to waste time on something a bigger youtuber disagreed with or something that doesn't look like its already winning) and trying to find and reach out to non-english european content creators specifically to reach actual europeans (hard to do as an english speaker with a primarily english speaking audience). Ross has also been trying to get ads going for the campaign with what little funding he has, but he's had to deal with the fact that most countries will consider it to be a political ad which severely limits their reach, like this is the reason why the big GOG promotion ending up falling through. This is basically what Ross has been doing nonstop for the past year, the campaign lacking advertising wasn't for lack of effort.

>>714568452
>Ross and his gang were just lazy piece of shits going radio silent for 10 months doing zero promotions
He was working hard behind the scenes but got fucked around with a lot. Like GOG.com talking about doing something, going back and forth for months until the guy at GOG got fired and they told him that doing what was promised was against their rules. Or the Heineken thing, which wanted to push this in order to promote their brand with gamers, but then decided to delay their gaming related push to next year. Or several big streamers who got cold feet once the ferret fucker started opening his mouth.

In short: you have no idea what you're talking about, but are judging him anyways, because you are too stupid to know that you don't know anything and that it's possible for you to be wrong if you do 0 research. Please kill yourself.

>No, he just didn’t bother to read it.
Even better. He did read it and then lied about it.

>>714570530
Uncle Adolf would have known how to deal with defeatist little shits like you. Damn Wehrkraftzersetzer!

>>714572837
He actually managed to get in touch with Heineken? Man, I would've been awestruck to suddenly see some ad and have it be about SKG.

Furries have these things called fursonas, their furry personas.
It's like this gay roleplaying thing they do

>The biggest hurdles for the entire campaign have been trying to get other people to help promote it
Yeah, and he failed to overcome it. That's 100% on him. Nobody wants to listen somebody who looks like a hobo and is not from Europe.
>(too many fags didn't want to waste time on something a bigger youtuber disagreed with
Thor is a literal nobody.
>or something that doesn't look like its already winning
During the first month it was winning hard.
>to find and reach out to non-english european content creators specifically to reach actual europeans
Not an excuse, when he apparently lives in Europe.
>(hard to do as an english speaker with a primarily english speaking audience).
Complete bullshit excuse. Most of us can speak english. If that were such a hurdle, Pewdiepie wouldn't exist. Also completely ignores how nothing changed on that front yet people were reached.
>but he's had to deal with the fact that most countries will consider it to be a political ad which severely limits their reach
And rightly so. Sounds like he wanted to put up billboards and run TV ads? Instead of reaching out to the COUNTLESS gaming events happening throughout all Europe?
>like this is the reason why the big GOG promotion ending up falling through
Sounds like an excuse, there was probably more to it. But at least I can give him credit for approaching GOG.
> the campaign lacking advertising wasn't for lack of effort.
>>714572837
>He was working hard behind the scenes
You can make all the effort, but only the results matter. Nobody cares how much effort you put into something, if it's completely misdirected and wasted. That's why Ross was the wrong person to spearhead the whole thing. He is an american with no idea about Europe.
>the Heineken thing
Heineken?
What the fuck man? WHAT WAS HE THINKING??

>you have no idea what you're talking about
>it's possible for you to be wrong if you do 0 research
I'm sorry, but as a european, part of the target audience and an early signatory I believe I have every right to criticize him and his trainwreck of a campaign I've witnessed.
Throughout the first 11 months of the petition, despite being a so called gamer, I only encountered a single Mutahar video and a gay american streamer drama about the WHOLE subject.
That's a fail, no matter how you slice it. No mention of it at the local gaming expos, no mention in local gaming media, no mention from national tubers or streamers, nada.

Ross was the wrong person to lead the initiative and he ran a godawful campaign that only worked out in the end because there was genuine interest in it succeeding once people actually HEARD about it.

Not the French, Spaniards or Italians.
