Also I doubt many of the companies on this list are genuinely 'lobbying' against SKG. This seems like misinformation/rage bait made to garner clicks.

It's easier to control what people do with your game when you make them go through your own servers to interact with the game. It's vendor lockdown. They will produce the slop and you won't be able to preserve anything because they keep you at a leash.

Games are not physical products you can "own". They are walks in the park, a softball game with your friends, a trip to an amusement park. They are just things for entertainment to pass the time.
You don't gain full ownership of the park or ball game because you spent $20 on a ticket. Funny how that works huh?

the corporate lobby is attempting to control the narrative by making sure all active stopkillinggames threads in the catalogue are their false flag posts which either contain factual inaccuracies or promote infighting via eceleb discourse, and then flooding the thread with nonsense bot posts to make it impossible to have any actual discussion in hopes people just get bored and move on. because they've already lost in the court of public opinion

ok but seriously what games are there that even benefit from this whole movement? The vast majority of GAAS are shit like mmos or multiplayer games that only have value in a live environment full of people anyway.
Who cares about being able to run around alone in a dead mmo? You can't even play something like a moba or shooter without people to play against.

Way to go overboard with this. You don't get ownership of the park, sure. But you can play ball in your house or literally anywhere else. You can own a ball to play the game. When you buy a book, you don't suddenly become the author, but you can keep the book you purchased as long as you want. A digital game, in the end, is a physical product. Whatever bits are stored electrically that make up the game. Usually they came in a floppy disk, CD, DVD. They didn't magically disappear since they started being transferred over the net.

Fair enough. I should've also added that move the amount of cash that Valve moves, thanks to Steam and their live-service garbage like Counter-Strike 2, DotA and some other titles, like Team Fortress 2, and that one that flopped, and I can't remember the name right now. CD Projekt simply cannot compare.

so this doesn't just affect live service goyslop
think of pretty much any multiplayer indie game
deep rock galactic, warhammer darktide, stuff like that
a lot of times they'll use middleware for their games because it makes them significantly cheaper and easier to produce
skg kills this and forces you to create your software in-house to avoid licensing issues when ti comes time to eol your game
so this will probably kill the indie multiplayer market

They are though. And they did do things. Epic Games was AAA since the times of Unreal. They made their name with Unreal Tournament much like Valve did with Half Life. They did it with Unreal Engine much like Valve did with Source (they even outpaced Valve on this one, since Valve hasn't released their engine to be used by developers and get revenue for them). Fortnite is what gives them revenue from gaming much like Valve does with Counter Strike 2 and DotA. You're using an example that resembles exactly what Valve has done, just on the dark side of things.

He technically doesn't let you "own" your games, but gets a pass because he provides a reliable service with reliable access and hasn't given in to pulling peoples libraries over petty squabbles.
But he understands that allowing companies to revoke licenses whenever they feel like it is not good for business.

well it's definitely not capitalist, as there is no ownership of what you buy, and these companies are obviously anti-competitive as hell, while also having governments bail them out, when the free market demand that it is time for them to die.
if anything they seem to want to go back to a feudalistic style system where a few powerful people own everything, and everyone else is peasants living on their lands, only difference being it's the merchants not the aristocrats that are the lords this time around.'

Why should they be? You can play all their games.

Even Artishat can still be played.

>Ironically SKG is going to hurt small developers much more than large ones.
then why are the big corpos launching psyops and frantically spreading propaganda against SKG? it's almost like they're shitting their pants and spewing lie after lie
small time devs wouldn't launch live service anything since maintenance costs are much higher and add up quickly

I don't see this being the case.
Small developers are more likely to have an easier time complying with the initiative

It's specifically NoE. Not that it matters, that's only because it's an EU based lobby. I would assume they do whatever NCL says.bUnlike Sony where all the little companies under them are their own little fiefdom (Aniplex for example fucking hates SIE and will happily fuck them over)

That's the whole point. Every single time a pro-consumer initiative tries to go through, megacorps and their lobbies always try to convince people on how it would hurt Small Businesses. Here they talk about how it harms marginalized lgbt and disabled indies. Effectively turning this into another gamergate situation.

Well no shit. Obviously they don't want to be beholden to anything.
Lobbying isn't a magic word, though, you don't get to just show up with big number and win. At least not in Europe.
