>>714854923
t.

indie games don't do live service because it's too expensive to maintain, fucking path of exile was only able to do it 12 years ago because they had and have the most expensive fucking cosmetics known to man and supporter packs specifically targeted at whales. why are people trying to gaslit everyone into thinking making an always online game is easier than an offline game.

>>714854940
There's an easy way to stop that: just stop killing games. It's that easy.

>>714854713 (OP)
Your movement's fucked. We'll just make it about politics, right wing extremism and have the ADL do the rest of the magic.

OK which known indies would be affected by this. Name them.

I would rather gaming die than have to listen to these fat ameritards roll into these threads calling everyone against it a shill Pajeet then telling them to go to a U.K petition because their own country is too cucked to do anything.

it's not that hard to figure it out for yourself, indie devs cant afford to run multiple servers for all eternity. this will basically kill indie multiplayer games

>>714854923
There already is a set of standard government regulations on video games, it's called copyright law, trademark law and patent law, all of which cause massive problems with the continued sale, use and maintenance of software.
Movements like "stop killing games" aim to plug the gaps created by IP law without getting engaged in toppling a global conspiracy of mutually dicksucking law firms that rely on international treaties backed by unelected governments.
In that respect it is much like copyleft and aims to undermine the existing cancerous system of copyright without actually doing it.

>>714855436
> indie devs cant afford to run multiple servers for all eternity
Thank god SKG isn’t asking for that then

>>714855568
>indie devs cant afford to run multiple servers for all eternity
indie devs already don't run their own servers, they use services like steam or epic to do so.

You can look up UnEpic or Project Zomboid. Both are DRM free and still have multiplayer and give the player to play in lan/PtP or make their own servers in the case of Project Zomboid. People who keep arguing about indies never actually played any indies.

And here comes captain contrarian, acting against his own interests to own the libs.

But unironically, this could fuck up every game using Steamworks, since all indie games would be required to have non-Steamworks solution, just in case Steamworks ever shuts down. Same goes for PSN/Xbox Live on consoles. Indies would probably figure it out, but it would still be harder to make.

yes, but it is mostly ego thing where he can't handle being wrong about something and crashes out

>>714858140
NOOOO, think of the poor publishers wasting money on developers doing a basic thing for games! Eat my entire ass.

>>714858247
You can release a game on Steam that just ignores it when it can't access Steamworks.

>>714858140
a business should be allowed to utilize a temporary ownership model when they sell a luxury good, for whatever reason they see fit, no matter how indie or triple A. they could simply think that when it comes time for a sequel, they should have the option to compel people to move on to the new product

if that sounds scummy or you cant imagine a scenario where you'd want this, then dont buy from businesses that refuse to give transparency roadmaps for EoL phases of their products and advocate for others to do the same, simple

the issue with SKG faggots is that they realize they cant win without forcing legislation because consumers have proven they are willing to compromise permanent ownership or offline functionality if they deem the product worthy otherwise, Nu Hitman is a PRIME example of this. Neckbeard retard Ross along with all of you faggots HATE that Nu Hitman, despite being INCREDIBLY clear about being always online and explicitly stating they have no end of life plans at this time, sold very well and continues to sell well

how about they actually start putting effort into their next product if they want people to move on?

>>714858168
its insane you retards cant imagine a single good reason for this to be the case

perhaps they want to compel consumers to move on to the sequel

perhaps investors would only put down their money to make the game if the developer went with an always online model in order to curb piracy (doesnt matter if they are right in thinking this, its their business motherfucker, they could choose to invest only if the whole office wore bowties, its their choice)

Nu Hitman could have only been made because they promised investors the game would have the model it does

which allows the game to be made

then company is upfront with their intentions and people still buy it and are happy

what the fuck is your right to disrupt this? that exchange was mutually beneficial. just dont buy it if you dont like it you retard

That's exactly what I said, "malicious intent." They want to actively discourage you from playing a game in order to sell you on the next game. That's malicious intent.

>>714858312
aren't you asking him to make your argument for you at this point

>>714858961
you can already compel that by not purchasing the thing

if others still purchase it and no party is deceptive, then you are simply upset people have different thresholds of compromise than you

>>714859073
once again, if you view the practice as malicious, then dont buy it. there is no need to legally compel any practice here

I'm fucking done with this stupid subject. It is impossible to say anything negative about it because Stop Killing Games is like the holy spirit: it's nowhere, and at the same time everywhere. It's about nothing, and at the same time everything. No matter what you criticize, it'll always be "wrong" because it is actually about whatever point you did not criticize; and this point will oportunistically change once the next person says they disagree.

I don't, but that's beside the point. If you're game's community falls apart and only six people are still playing it, those six people should have the ability to continue playing the game that they paid you for on their own private server.
Maybe try to make an actual argument, instead of defaulting to the standard shill response.

if they were upfront about that and you still bought it, you either did that calculus and determined it was worth the product, or you're a dumbfuck and never pay attention to what you're buying

if there were not upfront about that, we currently already have laws in place to litigate when companies are deceptive with what they've sold you. if you are one of the 5 people incensed about the crew 1 going offline, and ross is correct that legally they needed to give more notice before shutting the product down, then get a class action together you dummy

NOWHERE does any of this require some further legislation or lawmaking that would put undue burden on companies BOTH big and small

>>714859392
Oy vey, nobody wants to accept light criticism like "but then how can the company fuck you over if you have the legal right to play the game?"
These goys are just so insane

>>714859258
>make game with multiplayer components
>turns out well and popular enough
>make a sequel
>leave the first game intact and functional
Wow, it's just really that simple.

>>714859342
>The mmo review man wants to kill online games
Yes that totally makes sense.
Though SKG works in his favour. If the game can be played on a private server means he can do a retrospective analysis of a shitty game that failed.

>>714859258
what is that an example of? that its easy to give consumers offline versions?? so?? the difficult is not at all the point. I dont care if its as simple as pressing a button, the point is that you have no basis to legally compel a company to push that button if they were upfront with you in saying they dont want to, for whatever reason they deem fit

if they were not upfront, we already have ways of litigating this

>>714859342
Because GamerGate self sabotaged by allowing right wing grifters to take the lead. Corporations would love the same to happen to SKG.
They push DEI because that way than can defame critique of their business practices as hate speech.

>>714858697
I mean they don't abide by "vote with your wallet" (see IP laws) so why should I?

>>714859342
Now that the train is rolling and they can't stop it, they can only try to derail it.

>>714858983
>>714859141
The fact companies( you company sellout) even practice and enforce this upon naivee consumers. Kill yourself

>>714859417
>those six people should have the ability to continue playing the game that they paid you for on their own private server

if the game's ownership model did not include this, and they willingly paid for this, then no, they should defintionally NOT have the ability to continue using the product

im actually giving you arguments over and over again, its you who is failing to give an argument. you are giving me prescriptive statements without backing them up at all.

>>714859342
Based only on other posts I've seen by this guy, the guy he's talking about says the exact opposite of what he's claiming he is.

>>714858697
>a business should be allowed to utilize a temporary ownership model when they sell a luxury good, for whatever reason they see fit
I guess television companies should have the power to confiscate your television whenever they arbitrarily feel like you've used it enough?

>>714859720
Looks like the SKG movement is following in Gamegate's footsteps by being a harassment campaign towards PirateSoftware.

>>714859596
Noooooo, you don't understand, we don't want to actually make a better game, we want to wipe everyone's skins and progression so they pay more in mtx again. If the old game is playable they might choose to keep playing that and not buy the new one, we'll be financially ruined.

And the gamedevjew lobby group would hurt Innovation. If anything it would improve it because you'd actually have to compete with older games instead of shutting them down in favour of shit better optimised for money extraction.

>>714859818
Keep being a slobtuber lover you nigger

>>714859536
if you feel this way then spread the word, try yelling at people not to buy nu hitman. i dont think they care much though because it sold well despite all the screeching about alwaysonline so maybe you should just go buy a different product and dont concern yourself with products that have models of ownership that arent for you

Gotta say it is so fucked that despite being the face of Capitalism, the US has absolutely dogshit consumer rights and is so fucked that lobbyists can rape any attempt of something similar while it is still in the crib. Now everyone is forced to rely on the EU to set the prescient that you can’t fuck over consumer’s products because you don’t care about them anymore. It is depressing to see how shitty everything has gotten solely because of greed, not just video games.

>>714859901
>spread the word
Which is what stopkillinggames doing lmao

>>714859737
how do they not abide by "vote with your wallet"???

are they holding you at gunpoint to buy the latest hitman game?

I want to know the game that has such a complex server architecture that it cannot ever be made LAN or scaled down to private servers. Does this game exist?

>>714859546
Cool, so this will resolve in a nothingburger if you're right.
However, if the EU commission will acknowledge that there's an issue, then they'll act upon it.
And we'll get an EOL plan for games.
And you'll keep having a melty.

>>714855048
SKG is literally supported by e-celeb grifting.

>>714859758
advocate for more consumer awareness then you absolute fucking moron, dont advocate to completely destroy a form of business for a luxury good

>>714855506
You don't understand government regulation to allow corporations have the exclusive right to such innovative concepts like
>throw trap at monster
>defeated enemies will hate you and come back for revenge
is perfectly okay and not stifling innovation, but not being able to kill games so you don't have to compete with them will

Remind me again about how the Lootbox Ban in EU came into being.

>>714859392
>Gamergate
>”Noooo, I can’t destroy purchased products anymore because I need to sell my new snake oil. GOVERNMENT REGULATION BAD!”
Corporate shill or lolbert, call it

>>714859960
IP law is literally compelling people to buy by force of government yes.

>>714859810
if there were 500 different televisions companies and you chose the 1 that had this model, you either thought it was worth it or you're a fucking retard


you realize you dont even have to make an analogy like this because were already have something similar in real life, right?

printers

HP printers literally DO NOT WORK if you dont use their special cartridges. guess what though motherfucker? they arent the only printer company, epson allows CUSTOM cartridges and has no such restriction. this is called COMPETITION you commie fuck, and both companies do very well. People are allowed to buy the restrictive and exclusive option if they deem the quality worth it, or they can go buy the flexible product.

And for some fucking reason, you think HP shouldnt be allowed to use the business model they do

>>714860023
Stopkillinggames is not going to kill anything you pirate software larp basement discord erping wbore cum whore

>>714860240
I know you're taking the piss, but I also know there's some retard out there that actually thinks this way.

>>714859958
it implies proposing legislation. its a petition to get the EU to act on this in some governmental capacity

unless the end result of the petition is that the EU just puts a bunch of buyer beware stickers on Ubisoft products which... okay lmao

>>714859979
Only games I can think of are AR games like Pokemon GO.
I imagine the newer Microsoft flight sim games that stream map data from the cloud would also be a colossal pain

>>714860023
How about he just ban practices that have no benefit for the customer instead of letting corporations dictate unreasonable terms because it will make them more money and put the entire weight on the individual.
This is a "and yet you live in a society" tier argument, you can want change without becoming a hermit living in the woods

How long before a survival-horror game where your character must fend off hordes of lawyers and leg-breakers sent by vidya publishers to destroy your Products because they decided to end the license?

>>714860176
you dont have to buy any luxury good you dont want to so you are incorrect

>>714860354
counter argue or fuck off retard

>>714860502
There's nothing to argue against. You're just shitposting for the sake of it.

>>714860240
So everyone should always have to spend a whole week researching every nook and cranny of every ToS of every product they intend to buy because there could be hidden somewhere that they can fuck you over?
How about we make so that companies don't even try to fuck us over, how about that?
They have all the money to comply with a minuscule change of plan.
I don't have all the time to always read whatever 30+ pages of ToS they shit out.

>>714860410
how about you just dont buy the product you tard? this is not at all a "we should improve society somewhat" thing, im telling you, right now, you already have the ability to compel a company to not do this and its called voting with your wallet

>>714860590
i put up an argument and you arent responding. any further "haha 2/10 bait bro" responses just wont be entertained, ur boring lol

>>714860604
it never worked because there are more retards than informed consumers, this making everything shittier for everyone in the process.
If we actually follow that mantra we'll get shittier and shittier services, as it's already happening.
I never bought a phone that hasn't got a jack audio, and now that I need to change phone I have like 1/5 of the total choices I had 5 years ago.

laws are always fun, except when they're made to actually help people instead of companies

>>714860437
> survival-horror game where your character must fend off hordes of lawyers and leg-breakers sent by vidya publishers to destroy your Products because they decided to end the license?
Back in the day someone would've made a flash game on newgrounds about it by now.

>>714860593
most products are very pretty upfront about this stuff or give a fair warning before the service is shut down, the crew 1 is pretty anomalous, and if they have fouled by deceiving consumers as ross says, by not giving due notice to their shut down, then we already have ways of litigating this

now on the flipside, you have products like nu hitman which have been VERY upfront about their always online nature and with their future plans. no dissecting 30 page terms required for this understanding, yet people are still buying it. You gotta contend with this

>bros... our e-celeb grifter trannys were... wrong?
ACK!

>>714860778
i agree that consumers can be retards but thats why, if there is some base level of transparency which id argue most of these products have, then the onus is now on the more informed consumers to spread the word.

i will always advocate for a base level of transparency combined with consumer awareness

legislation or legally compelling ANYTHING especially for a luxury good, should always be a last resort

>>714860150
I believe that crossed a line into what was seen as gambling for kids

>>714860604
>how about you just dont buy the product you tard?
you fags said the exact same thing about steam refunds
take a hike off a cliff, nigger

>>714860604
Corpos will always use the most exploitative tactics on the morons it works on making it shittier for everyone else who still wants to participate. It's easier to force one bad actor to change than socially engineer entire society to be some lolbert perfectly rational and informed new man.

>>714860382
Pireate softwares cocksleeve sodomite this is a good thing and capitalistic commie omega corpo companies need to die

>>714860804
Man I can see it. This hurts.

>>714861009
Shut the fuck about much luxury good, it changes nothing, product is a product and people should be able to freely participate in the society and not have to swear off common past times to live off gruel under a bridge because everything than bare minimum to survival is "luxury"

>>714861009
I don't get why you're fine with megacorps using government on you but you using government on corpos is last resort only?

>>714860920
Good! So if The Crew is pretty anomalous, you don't have any reason to be this worked up about something that won't result in a major change!

>>714860604
The only reason they can do this is because of laws that permit them to pursue legal action against people attempting to continue their services once they become abandonware.
It is a net good to society for creative work to be theoretically available in perpetuity if there exists someone who wants to preserve, maintain and distribute it, and this good far outweighs the benefit to society that would be gained from allowing individuals to have unilateral control over the destruction of creative work.
>vote with your wallet
This really only functions once and will immediately become invalid if their incentives change, such as is the case when the company is acquired or merged with another.
