Everyone I've talked to the industry is shook and really worried by this, not because of the actual content of the petition, but because they feel like there is this growing sentiment where gamers just blindly hate and spew vitriol towards all devs and publishers with. They are worried it's going to be like G*mergate 2.0, but much, much worse.

>>715014851 (OP)
But I already hate developers

I actually don't give a shit about preservation. I support it because I want developers to stop making live service garbage entirely and this will make it so unappealing to do so that no one will.

>>715014851 (OP)
you can thank EA, Activision and Ubisoft going full distopian Corpo for that.

My first experience with games was when my uncle introduced me to his favorite series. I don't want to rob someone of that just because some retarded devs

maybe if they didn't have a whole campaign about hating gamers and focusing on other audiences while making the least consumer friendly shit and completely trashing every franchise we loved they wouldn't get so much blind hate from gamers

>>715014851 (OP)
Yes because the focus used to be on making actual good games. Now all the west gives a shit about is making addictive pay to win dogslop or straight up propaganda. Western devs have burned every last bit of goodwill at this point.

>>715014851 (OP)
Maybe devs should treat consumers like respectable clients and try to make products that are of good quality AND try to have a positive relationship with those who purchase it? Instead of treating them cattle and demanding they pay for absolute shit and demonizing those who don’t? Just a thought.

Anything to fuck with Activision Blizzard.

Game journalists are turning this into another Gamergate. Look how they're making Asmongold and Pewdiepie the face of the movement and warning people about Pirate Software's harassment campaign.
>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.”

These fuckers are really playing dirty now.

>>715014851 (OP)
It doesn't need SKG to hate the industry, the only thing you need is see how they wanted to destroy the industry and rebuild it in a way they wanted in the last ten years. It's basically they trying to treat shareholders as consumers and consumers as cattle.

These days they just can't stand the fact that players could retaliate by simply not buying the garbage they threw against their faces.

Redpill me on the mana gem lore

You don't hate devs and publishers ENOUGH

The "good" publishers and developers are in the 99th percentile, while the rest are greedy assholes that do not care for the customer experience, just their bottom line.
With video games becoming such a massive market, non-gamers have flooded the market and are now making and publishing your games, out-of-touch suits ruining it for the core audience.
The future of video games is only with independent developers and publishers. Any teams that bloat to triple-A or even double-A will eventually get ruined by corporate interests.

It's not blind hate, it's pretty specific hate against the attempt of erasing ownership of games and wanting to have the right to just erase games you bought from existence without even returning the money.

Then their gigabudget slop will result in thousands of layoffs, another addition to that dev apology compilation, and another dead studio. There is of course that line where the game is fine enough for the cattle to buy it but capital G gamers with standards won't. Doesn't matter to /v/ anyway as /v/ doesn't play games so their wallets never had any impact.

The government is a gun.
It's a messy, imperfect solution with horrible consequences for an imperfect world.
