>NOOOOO THINK OF THE INDIES
Name 5 always online live service indie games

I don't give a single fuck about your e-celeb drama.

>>714856824
Stop killing games

>>714856824
I accept your concession

It's funny because if anything indies are the ones more likely to do the right thing with multiplayer to begin with.

It's almost like this live service shit is only done by big devs because they're the ones that can afford to run servers themselves.

yeah but you can't gather so much data to sell to marketing teams if they don't connect directly to your servers, they might even block the telemetry in their firewall!

What kind of idiot would make their bing bing wahoo clone about being depressed online only anyway?

>>714856776 (OP)
It's nonsensical, their arguments are baseless and just made up so you start questioning yourself about your decisions. If some corporate bootlick goes as far as to do that, you are probably doing the right thing.

Does Fatshark count as Indie? Though even if they do, all they show is why online only is a shit idea in the first place.

>>714857204
Valve are definitely faggots in their own way but they are easily the AAA company most adjusted to the idea of having to provide server tools so this doesn't surprise me.

>>714857204
>does nothing

>>714857204
Because you can always make an offline patch to the live-service games, and release alongside that one a dedicated server utility/launcher. Gaben/Steam knows this. Hell, you can play most games in offline mode to begin with.

If i was EU, i would make this SKG a law, apply it retroactively, and then sue and prosecute all of those shits for billions, establish a small agency that oversees electronic entertainment, and then reimburse players who were affected by shitty corporate bullshit (like giving refunds for games that no longer work), and then direct agency to make those games work or delegate it to GOG or a good company to do the developer work necessary. Man, the salt from corpies would be infinite. Atleast we can play some BF2142 then and UT2004. Maybe even Riddick's games would become available.

Valve actually realise that the pro-customer option can actually be more profitable for you as a business, sometimes. Whereas publicly traded companies will do everything they can to fuck over the "consumer" at every turn because they only see "consumers" as infinite money pits for them to pull from.
At the end of a day, Valve is still a business which wants to make money, but they're not idiots... usually.

Valve is privately owned and its owner is concerned with long term sustainability.

Publicly traded coompanies only care to give as much money as possible as quickly as possible to their shareholders. Doesn't matter if this kills the company, the leeches who call themselves "investors" will just move on to another company.

They don't want you to own anything. They're shitting their pants on how fast SKG is now gaining support. They're trying to turn this into another gamergate and I'm afraid it's actually working.
Game journalists are making Asmongold and Pewdiepie the face of the SKG movement.
>Many developers are now urging #StopKillingGames organizers to take a firmer stance against hate groups and clarify the movement’s values. “Preservation without protection is meaningless,” said Aviv Salinas, co-creator of Blood Nova. “We need to preserve games and the people who make them.”
>As the campaign approaches legislative milestones, its ability to remain inclusive and principled will determine whether it becomes a force for good or another flashpoint in gaming’s long-running culture wars.
That article is a load of fucking sjw sludge.

It's fucking scary seeing how fast the industry is altering the narrative. We're seeing a lot more SKG = Gamergate as we inch closer to the deadline at the end of the month. We got to be fucking careful and not fall for their tricks.

Ross consciously left the PirateSoftware situation alone after a day to avoid the campaign turninginto a drama cesspool.
Likewise, PirateSoftware did the same aswell, even if he went out kicking and screaming like a little faggot to the bitter end. At least he's shut up about it now (we hope).

>>714860415
Can someone email GabeN and ask him to slap Chet Faliszek in the back of the head? I think the man is broken, he's stuck on a loop.

>>714857204
They're not in the ESA either. Valve must want to remain true neutral. I don't think it's out of kindness, but its been one of the companies best features.

>>714860749
Faliszek left Valve eight years ago

>>714860894
What the fuck does he do now? I'm not seeing any mention of what he's been doing after Valve.

>>714860973
He's still very respected in leftist circles such as bluesky.

>>714860415
As far as I know it's just Chet whose god this retarded take but maybe I'll be surprised. I would have thought most anti-gamergate fags inherently realise they're actually giving gamergate credit by likening it to a clearly pro-consumer endeavour.

>>714858407
>>714858465
It's heresy but fwiw Chet Faliszak, former Valve, is heavily anti-SKG. He said that people he knew in Valve were all against it too, and that they all agreed it wasn't going to succeed or go anywhere.

But then again he's a retard. Maybe former colleagues were just like nodding and agreeing with him to keep his argumentative personality at bay

See >>714858130

>>714861029
It's weird because you can self host servers for Counter Strike or Dota right now, it isn't like Valve is antithetical to the principle for their games. And there's the mythical statement that "they're working on a way to validate/authenticate games even if Steam stops being supported", which even if it's still only a vague statement from GabeN, they're still acknowledging the issue which is ahead of basically the whole competition. The only reason I could think for Valve employees to oppose SKG is if they still have a libertarian company culture and are ideologically opposed to all regulation and such.

>>714861095
The issue is complex and multifaceted. While it is true the companies in the upper part of the image belong to a lobbying group called "Video games Europe" which has put out a statement against the "Stop killing games" movement, this does not automatically necessitate Valves or Gabe Newells approval of the movement as the image would suggest.

>>714860415
He's been calling SKG a "gamergate" movement since the launch of it, so it's probably not a coordinated thing. You can't talk to Chet anyway. He's an alcoholic who rants about politics on bluesky all day and his brain is gone.

idk why people champion this when Steam's entire business strategy is the users owning nothing and every game you have is essentially just a license that gets cancelled when your account gets shut down
sure Valve makes their games playable when offline but the thing that makes them money is literally something the ppl behind SKG want to combat, which is the players not actually owning products

It should be even easier for an indie game to comply with what is wanted as there will be much less bloat to sift through.

>>714860415
this is mostly just chet screaming into the void btw, I think anyone who's looking at the issue in good faith and not doing something like looking for a reason to disavow the movement because people were just a little too mean to piratesoftware will look at this and go "what is chet even on about"

idk why he's so weird about this in particular but he comes off as having an ego and a half which i guess isn't too surprising when you're a former writer for portal and left 4 dead

>>714861570
>a license that gets cancelled when your account gets shut down
I've seen accounts flood a game's Steam forum with CP, then you check their account and they're only community banned for a few decades. They'll still let you download and validate games you've bought.
I can't imagine what sort of behavior would get you BANNED banned from Steam.

>>714861509
That's all an animefag like you deserves

>>714857173
He's right though, no one here actually cares about "killing games". You all just want some eceleb, culture war drama to clutch your pearls at. This will be over in a month then you'll move on back to complaining about a brown woman being in your game or whatever new topic your favourite streamer decides to make a video about that week.

>>714861570
You're at the same time implying that Valve isn't affected by this because they are already providing ways to play their games past "EOL", but are also going to be destroyed financially by this because their business strategy depends on games being bricked at EOL.
Retarded.

>>714861292
Valve is publicly neutral on things like this, but action-wise they are for causing as little friction for their peers in the industry as possible. They don't want to take any public actions that would displease Ubisoft, Microsoft, etc. They want to make friends with these people, not competitors or rivals.

I'm sure they'd love for you to think that silence means they support their users and SKG, but they would probably be against it if forced to be public about it.

Only thing I can think of is when people asked Gabe if Valve was pro/anti Net Neutrality and he said he didn't think he needed to say because people should assume Valve is against it

i wrote valve does add pro-consumer features to their games but Steam operates in a way thats in direct opposition of what SKG supporters want, ie actually owning the game you paid for rather than being lent a license

idk how else to describe this so you dont have an aspergers supermutant meltdown

>>714861773
chet's position seems less to be that preserving games is a bad thing and more that ross is evil and hates live service games and doesn't want them to exist (never you mind that the literal purpose of the initiative is to preserve live service games) and as such the government mandated law will... be something that forces developers not to make live service games? I honestly struggle to understand it myself. He can't express himself through text and the last time I tried to watch a video of his it was apparent that it was incomprehensible rambling a few seconds in.

Like all of his arguments ultimately circle back to character-assassinating Ross and saying he's evil and hates developers.

>>714861868
He ran out of man-I meant arguments, what do you want him to do/

>>714861570
Steam support once removed a game from my account that was no longer buyable. I showed them it was their mistake and their response was that they acknowledge it was in error but they can take games away whenever they want and since my game was retired they didn't have the right to return it to me.

But you fucking have the right to take it away??

>>714861916
>you aren't an indie when your successful LIVE SERVICE game gets publishers

>>714861029
>>714861243
Valve doesn't really talk about such matters so who knows, it could be another piratesoftware "I know people at blizzard, they're going to ban you all" situation

They could be against it because they're opposed to regulation or they could be for it if it pushes more software to become open source. You can project pretty much any viewpoint onto valve and it'd make at least some sense.

>>714861665

Even if there were online live service indie games, the cost of making private servers is zero or next to zero.
Do you really think that devs don't have already their own private servers to test out things locally and such?

>>714857204
Notices how there are all the predators. You don't see in it Valve or CD Projekt.
Most of these aren't even europeans.

>>714861938
Well, the image you posted talks about the companies that lobbied against SKG, so I assumed you knew what the name of the lobbying group was.

>>714856776 (OP)
It's not that those games must be maintained by devs. It's that devs must release tools so that players can maintain the game themselves. You can't just kill a game.

Pirate Software genuinely has something wrong with him. He obviously misinterpreted the SKG campaign and is too embarrassed to admit it.

It's obviously because he had such an extreme initial reaction so admitting fault is too much of a blow to the ego for him.

Also his tweets also scream "PLEASE LIKE ME PLEASE LIKE ME" and reek of insecurity.

It's tragic.

>>714861897
>ironically gave the tools for preservation to the community while advocating against devs having to give tools for preservation to the community

I think the fact that it took people like critikal criticizing and directing the horde onto pirate (even if he honestly continues to bring it on himself by being incredible hostile and disagreeable) to get the initiative going anywhere is a bit sad and points to a pretty sick culture.
You can't drum up enthusiasm over something like "you like games? well we want to ensure your games are playable forever, just spread the word and sign this petition" but if you turn it into "spite this fucking retarded youtuber" suddenly everyone cares. It's retarded.

I pointed out to Chet that it needs the gun/zombie physics of L4D2 to even stand a chance.

L4D2 is crafted in such a way that killing a common infected literally never gets old. Having a zombie ragdoll after getting shot simply isn't enough (See Anacrusis, Back 4 Blood) and Valve knew that all the way back in the day.

If you want to copy L4D2, you have to do it better - and considering it's practically perfected the formula, that's a big task.

The only fault I can really give it is that I wish Versus mode had difficulty options as it's incredibly toxic; the only way you can lose as a survivor is if you make a really dumb mistake. If the difficulty was set to expert, players would be more forgiving as the game is less forgiving.

Yes? Or is riot still an indie company?

>>714861940
SKG has nothing to do with owning a game, idiot. It's about being able to play a video game after the developers decide that it's no longer viable to keep the live service running.
If I buy a license to play a game in 2025 and I can still play it in 2040 barring outright hardware incompatibility, then I don't give a fuck whether I own the game or not.

yes but also consider you are actively hurting companies because you play game (2025) instead of buying the game (2040) version. If they can't delete game (2025) then they won't profit from releasing the same game but in 2040. It's totally GamerGate 2.0

>>714862246
I think there is a small misunderstanding here, I think Chet's biggest problem is involving the EU. I think he views what he did with the anacrusis as a sort of counterpoint to what SKG is doing.
I think he just views SKG as a movement as corrupt and ill-intentioned/populist in a malicious way (this is why he keeps namedropping gamergate.)

I think he's drawing parallels to a lot of modern populist gamer stuff like people jacking off over concord failing and obsessively sniffing out "wokeness" and is assuming (and refuses to be swayed from the notion that) that the movement at its core is just spiting modern developers and trying to hurt them. I think he also just personally doesn't believe regulation is a good solution for the reasons and libertarian would which is funny because he's definitely a firm lefty.

I can't really grasp how warped your judgement of character has to be to look at Ross and say "this man is a duplicitous conman who is leading his followers astray," though. The guy is so genuine it gives off a lack of self-awareness sometimes, and the guy opposing him is like a textbook narcissist, just look at him

I really just don't get what he's seeing there. His counterpoint to "The point of the initiative is to save live service games" was "ross is lying" iirc. I dunno. I feel like I have a pretty sensitive radar for when someone has self-interested or manipulative tendencies and I don't get that shit at ALL with Ross. Like not even a little.

>>714863127
you literally can't or else you would have. you pompously namedropped one game just to sound informed.

Lmao. The parasocial rage is real today.

What exactly are you hoping to accomplish? You think you're the main character in some crusade? "We bullied the guy who streamed Unity tutorials and pixel art for five years because he said review bombing is dumb." Congrats bro, real noble.

You’re not exposing corruption. You’re just mad the dev cried on Twitch and didn’t bow to your fake internet justice committee. If his reputation’s "destroyed," why are you still here screaming at the ashes? Move on.

He’s still live. Still making games. Still shipping updates. You’re still doomposting on a Friday afternoon, begging for someone to validate your Redditor justice boner.

[SPoiler]he’s gonna outlast you.[/spoiler]

>>714862880
How the fuck can a corporation tell you how you're allowed to use things that you own? They can't. If there's an EULA, you don't own it, EULA explicitly means you're granted a license. It's actually in the very acronym. The L stands for License.
If the initiative is to change the EULA, then it has nothing to do with ownership, because it isn't asking the EULA to be scrapped.

Maybe you should look up the terms you use before acting as if you understand anything.

>>714862783
Not my problem.

>>714863320
I know that this will cause you to have a meltdown, but I still need to tell you that there are plenty of games on Steam that do not use any DRM whatsoever.

>>714863329

the whole point of live service is constant new content, new things to do, gameplay changes etc.
when you just freeze it in a vacuum it's not a service game anymore, especially when you have to run private games and can't play with millions of people

Nigger, I can still play mgs 1 on my PSX without any issues, even though the compatible tv is starting to give the ghost. I can still play the Westwood 1997 Blade runner on my old dell laptop (original, not GoG version, even though I have that too), and still do on my every birthday. There is no other issues but the ouroboros levels of glutton, when it comes to the developers needing more and more capital for their esteemed share holders.

>>714863397
>If the initiative is to change the EULA, then it has nothing to do with ownership, because it isn't asking the EULA to be scrapped.
why are you cluelessly shitposting when this was exactly what Ross was talking about in his last video
they want the EULA changed from the publisher having the right to end support of or take away your access to a game at any point without giving a reason to confirming they will provide the means of their users to play the games post EoL
the latter effectively turns a license into a product you as a user actually own
why are you this mad over being stupid

If this passes companies should sell a LTS pass. You want support for your old games and to make sure the servers keep running then you pay 39.99 a month to help with upkeep. Games have a low population? Then that price increases. Fairs fair.

>>714863674

>>714863279
I think so, I don't know if he coined the term though. They definitely used the term though back then.

Gabe said making games that you just release and sell, like a singleplayer game "didn't make sense". He said this when asked about HL3 at the height of F2P boom and all games trying to hyper monetize. Now we have regular games reaching million concurrent players and making massive amounts, so seems Valve is interested in making a normal game again.

Saving games aside, I think it's shocking that Pirate ever had a fanbase, it's obvious that he's a poser that's specialized in pretending to be things he isn't.
Every random 30-40 year old remembers back when games had private servers, back when Gerena was hosting a whole bunch of games independently from the developers, back when you could IP forward for multiplayer.
All the stuff he says about programming and server-client doesn't correspond to when we know to be true about games.
Are all his fans just so young that they don't know to question him?

Indies are not incapable of end-of-life plans for their games just as anyone else. If anything they should be the fastest to ad adhoc connections or some similar feature as a switch to flip when the game sunsets.
Remember, this is an engineering problem within the game's design, it can certainly be programmed in, the biggest pushback are from people who simply don't want to comply with SKG standards, that's all.

All American political ideologies are completely incoherent and contradictory. They're truly mindbroken by the constant propaganda and corporate humiliation rituals. Conservatives in America even support burning coal and ruining the environment because it increases profits. They don't even care about protecting the natural world, which seems like the bare minimum in order to qualify as a conservative.

>>714863568
Ah yes, Noita, famously known for being always online and unplayable without an internet connection.

>>714864616
I do care tremendously. So I'd tell him, despite the fact that he is 100% in the right, valid and correct, he still shouldn't waste his time playing objectively bad games made by developers who don't respect you or your time and would empty a magazine in your face if it made them money.

Oh, wowzer so indie can afford the ENORMOUS costs to run private side server huh, good to know.

I think indie devs shouldn't even be beholden to this. There should be something like minimum profits or minimum budget before it's like, okay, you're operating on a large enough scale that you can easily do this.

Making it so that absolutely every single online game that has ever made any kind of money period has to abide by the EU's regulation seems a little overbearing, not to mention perhaps difficult to enforce. The point of this, IMO, is to force large developers to do basic shit that they could easily do but won't do because it doesn't make them money. There is literally ZERO reason a game like Gundam Evolution couldn't have had LAN support or something.

>>714865339
ah, I see it's tanks not tank. Yeah they all seem like scams except a few that are just normal games but even those few would benefit more from not being live services since unpopular multiplayer games can benefit from a resurgeance after the initial playerbase has lost interest.

The problem with these social initiatives is that kikes will always spin those to their favor, so even if it passes, it's not gonna be a net positive for actual consumers

>>714865572
lmao, if you have the budget to do a GaaS game there is no reason you couldn't comply to begin with. It literally costs more to make a non-compliant game

>>714865572
>There should be something like minimum profits or minimum budget before it's like, okay
There effectively is.
That is the budget to maintain a large server base that all the games bought have to connect to in order to play.
If you have the budget to do that ontop of making the game then you have enough to implement an EOL plan.

>>714865572
You know many indie games that are always online with no ability to play offline or ability to create private servers?
Keeping servers online to begin with costs a fuckton of money, it's already completely out of reach of indie devs.

>>714865572
It has to be fair. Plus indies aren't incapable of finding a solution. If you are going to make an online service in your indie game, a feat requiring some degree of componency, then you should be trusted with making it in a way where you can pass off the online aspect to be run privately.

>>714865972

Valheim and Rust allow user hosted dedicated servers. I can launch them myself right now and have people direct connect to my server after I give them my IP.

>>714866006
You mean the list of games that can be played in private servers, and fucking Noita? Nice list you got there, retard.

>>714866058
Hosting a single server for like 20-40 players isn't expensive, hell you can even host one for free on your own PC (if it can handle it).
Hosting enough servers to hold thousands or more players is a huge fucking expense.

It hit different when it's his industry and friends. Also political beliefs have morphed into being about the will of the majority. With Live-Service, if a game isn't popular anymore it might as well not exist because who cares about the will of a few individuals?

That and people have this ideology about gamedev as a profession. They are way up their own asses with this sincere belief that gamers are their audience consumers and that they don't owe them anything. Selling them something and then taking it away isn't a problem because the game is both simultaneously a product of mass appeal where the individual doesn't matter, and on the other end a work of art that belongs to the creator of it and the abilities and freedoms of artists should be safeguarded from any kind of responsibility to a customer.

other thread got janny'd so ill put my shitpost here:
the government is not going to save you from poor financial decisions and has been historically proven to do the exact opposite.
you would be able to host whatever you want if government intervention wasn't an issue.
i don't see what the point of any of having a government enforced "end of life plan" for games is when companies will take the obviously cheaper route and simply patent troll while spamming cease and desist letters to anyone trying to host an alternative solution.
i think a lot of what pirate 'divorcerapedfurfag' software says is retarded/in bad faith, but this is my personal stance on the issue: running up big gov's skirt to save you and not expecting them to immediately cuck the consumer to whoever has the most power and will more than certainly lead to smaller developers losing whatever advantage they had to an endless sea of lawyering jews and patent trolling.

Valve's games are already designed to be community hosted. Also every game AAA game devs would be against SKG because to them it's just adding more work. But if they want to make a forevergame to keep raking in the profits, they can't just simply abandon their games the moment it's no longer as profitable as they wanted.

Ok yea just reduce IP. That's the ONLY thing stopping people from fixing dead games

>asked about his opinion on net neutrality

GOG is a Polish company, who, last time I checked, were not only in Europe, but also in EU. Do you think Steam would have more lax refund policy, or any refund at all if they weren't required by law?

The amount of american companies for an european lobby is staggering.

I think gog needs a reason though and steam is no questions asked within the limit. I never refunded stuff on gog, not sure if they actually check the reasons

Companies are working together to fuck you over. The way for you to work together is through the government.
Companies have also no scruples about using the government to fuck you over. You are some faggot running around in the new age trying to convince one side of a war that using guns is cringe.

>Guy buys a game to see if it has a co-op campaign
>Turns out it doesn't and refunds it
>Steam accepts the refund and tells him it would be easier for everyone if he researched games before buying them
>Turns out the steam page for the game says the campaign is singleplayer only
Steam said nothing about banning him it just gave him advice that would help make things easier for everyone involved including himself.
