Still haven't heard ONE (1) single argument against SKG that is coherent and factual

I'm opposed to your obsessive stalking of some random furry under the guide of righteous anger.

Go read the initiative you dumb fuck

>>715033570 (OP)
How about this: Stop Killing Games gets signed into law about whatever the fuck they want and all of you stupid niggers go outside and get some bitches for once in your life

>>715033570 (OP)
Most games already comply with what it is proposed.
Those that currently don't won't as it is not retroactive.
GaaS is on its way out (Concord, Marathon, Hyenas DOA).
Why do you need a law that affects of 100% games when it will only change things for less than 1% of all of them and who will be in charge to certify that a game is SKG compliant?
Will there be an instance that will make sure that every game is compliant? Will that person and institute require money to operate?
What will be the fine for games that are not SKG compliant?

And why does your breath smells like eceleb cum?

>>715033967
>Why do you need a law that affects of 100% games when it will only change
Before you accuse me of being a jeet I was contemplating between typing:
A law that affects every game OR 100% of all games.
The amount of GaaS games produced is not even most of the industry.

Also what happens to mobile games and stuff like Gamepass?

I'm opposed to mentally ill non-gamers stream watchers from twitch.tv who spam 4chan with garbage.

>>715033570 (OP)
Maybe not factual but a coherent one that Thor apparently almost believes but is too fucked to admit:
"The Government is so toxic (either because incompetence or genuine malice) that if it ever gets involved, it will only make things worse. Even if they pass consumer 'protection' laws it will likely backfire in a way that actually benefits the corpos and only makes things harder for indies. Asking the government to get involved at all is a complete mistake."

To be clear I don't necessarily think this is what will happen but it's at least a consistent belief and reasonable objection.

Hi Thor!

Nice opinion, did a YouTuber give it to you? Wait, he did? Oh.

>>715033570 (OP)
The biggest obstacle for this movement or whatever you want to call it, is apathy.

>>715033570 (OP)
What prevents lawmakers from appending a clause of their own like forcefully making all games also DEI compliant? Stuff like Sweetbaby Inc receive funds from the government. Dustbowl was producing through funds provided by the EU.

Why do zoomers believe the EU is honest when all environmental measures were purposely done to attack their political opposition and finance companies like Fazer in which several high ranking leftists politicians have interests?

Does anyone else find it weird that all these rabid SKG supporters SUDDENLY appeared when there was youtuber drama?

None of these people cared about SKG or customer protection or anything before but now that it was "This youtuber is bad, let's all gang up on him and obey daddy Asmongold" SUDDENLY they care about laws and regulation.

Just say you have nothing going on in your life so you latched onto this drama like crazy, dont' try to pretend you genuinely care about the cause, if you did you would have supported SKG back in 2020 and not after Pirate Software offended your favorite youtuber.

Something about Ross' eyes are strangely hypnotic. Despite being worn from screen time, they have a gentle gaze that begets compassion. They could make a whore hit the floor and confess her sins with one sharp look. These are the kind of eyes you see once in a generation. The gift of gab in God's own vision.

>>715034365
He was always a retarded faggot and there were people pointing out that he was a retarded faggot when he made his first response. I assumed, and I would guess most other people did as well, that the initiative would succeed regardless because there's no reason some faggot retard's opinions should affect what is a blindingly straightforward consumer vs corporation dilemma. The update video revealing that the retarded faggot had in fact stopped the initiative and fucked us all over is what changed things and why people "suddenly" got mad.

>>715033570 (OP)
What you're asking for is not protections though. Why even try to pretend that's what its about.

Why can't you just look us right in the eye and say it.

He talks like a sperg.
I decided to listen to him since you redditors told me not to but his takes are worthless. Not only the SKG ones but in general.

>>715034365
For me, anti skg faggots on /v/ made me sign. I kinda agreed from the start, but didn't bother at first.

Anything on this?
Whenever I bring this up, the entire forum goes silent.
The SKG retards pick the takes they can ""win"" and ignore my posts.

Didn't fucking need it.

>>715034804
The fag was getting pushed hard by the youtube algorithm at the time, so his video shitting on SKG was pushed to the front page and was the first search result on stop killing games basically up until Ross finally made his response video a few weeks ago.

>>715034668
>the initiative would succeed regardless

You seriously believe that? Data literally proves you wrong.

>>715034609
Ross has had so many near-death experiences I don't think it's possible for his soul to possess an ounce of narcissism. I genuinely believe he knows how short life is and he doesn't want to waste time doing anything but being happy and leaving the world a better place than he found it.

Remember to always let the mods know when an SKG discord shill makes another eceleb thread

Powerful! Men in the past actually had to fight to get something done, they actually had to work and you know... go outside

But you get to change the world from your mother's basement sitting in your gaming chair. You truly are a powerful man anon.

Remember i'll be here laughing my ass off when your initiative goes nowhere.

>>715034781
The person that made this is an idiot and is completely devoid of principle. Completely changing what you believe because of what retards are saying, whether they agree or disagree with you, means that you believe in nothing.

Mana

I'm not against the movement, but I assure you that this movement will end in nothing, the governments will do nothing, everyone will forget about the movement and continue with their lives, and companies will continue to waste their budget on live service slop or close any studio just because

If you have no power you can't do anything

>>715034781
If you were a man you'd just decide for yourself

>>715034928
You can't answer those questions at this time because there's been zero negotiation or classification for any of those things.
This isn't some big gotcha, this is shit that needs to be figured out between devs/pubs and the EU if the initiative starts seeing laws/requirements being made. You're putting the cart before the horse.

Remember not to fall for the demoralization shit. If it was hopeless then no one would need to remind you.

>>715034928
Because you're retarded

If it was not for the word "decrying" that is also applicable for Ross as well, no? . You all felt for one eceleb, what makes you think the other loud mouth is right?
Zoomers pleading to the government on behalf of one burger eceleb sounds very irresponsible.

My take has always been about the same; software works in a grey area and much like emulation the last thing you want is bring undesired attention to it. GaaS games are garbage and hardly valuable, as long you preserve the "Know How" the rest are assets, animation files and collision checks. Even for GaaS games, the music is salvageable.

>>715034970
I recognize his face but never watched his content. I mean I did stop to watch one after these threads started to show up where he talks about Nintendo and the guy sounds positively retarded.
But that's it? He made one video?

>>715035254
It's almost like the law that you're advocating for should spell that out

This isn't a law retard this is an initiative to see laws written up after deliberation from both sides.

I thought /v/ hated e-celebs.

>>715034365
Its clout farming + general mob mentality. I saw this funny video the other day where someone "reviews his code". Pirate put it out there so its fair to criticize it but the guy doing the review got insanely pissy and defensive when Pirate made a response video to it, saying things like "he didn't show a lot on stream so I couldn't do that good of a job reviewing it" (why the fuck did you then?) and when asked (by Pirate) why he didn't privately contact him about it instead of publicly blasting him like an asshole, he said "I posted a comment in his chat asking him which was deleted by mods 5 seconds later, so obviously he didn't want to talk and I had no choice" as if someone with as large of an audience as him could read every single chat message in under 5 seconds. I think Pirate is a retard as much as the next guy but its basically just mob cancel culture now with all the grifters trying to publicly show themselves "taking down the bad guy".

He made several videos and youtube pushed it over the actual explanations of what the initiative entailed. Welcome to the world of algorithmically determined consensus.

Just to be clear, Maldy Figgy will always be a loser, but it's still embarrassing that no-names are trying to catch the wave on his meteoric self-induced downfall. Just because no-names shitting on him is genuinely cringe doesn't make Bore less of a failure.

>doesn't effect free service games
>just guarantees more free games with in game purchases will be made
A completely pointless initiative that will make the industry worse

>>715033967
>GaaS
It's still SaaS
>Why do you need a law
Because companies do not care about consumers and see sequels as competing products. this will not change unless it's forced on them.

>>715034365
it's kiwifarms, he was declared THE SITE ENEMY and his thread is featured on the front page

>>715035947
It includes free to play games with microtransactions. Do you need more help with reading comprehension?

>>715035978
So this SKG spam is being done by kiwi farms pedos? Makes sense.

I respect Thor for not backing down even after getting death threats and being swatted.

>>715033967
>Most games already comply with what it is proposed.
Wrong
>Those that currently don't won't as it is not retroactive.
That's not a counterargument.
"there have been thefts in the past so we shouldn't put any effort into preventing thefts is the future" is a very retarded line of reasoning but it suits you
>GaaS is on its way out (Concord, Marathon, Hyenas DOA).
It is not. For those Flops you mentioned there's still dozens upon dozens of financially successful games with this model out there and they will keep being made. GaaS is here to stay because multiplayer games that receive continuous support will always be in demand
>Why do you need a law that affects of 100% games
It does not affect 100% of games
>when it will only change things for less than 1% of all of them
Doesn't matter. If only 10 games are affected or 100.000

>and who will be in charge to certify that a game is SKG compliant?
Lawyers and judges with expert consultants

>Will there be an instance that will make sure that every game is compliant? Will that person and institute require money to operate?
Yes
>What will be the fine for games that are not SKG compliant?
For a court to decide
All of this amounts to is
>I don't know how it can be done and old games aren't affected, thus consumer protection os a bad idea
Absolutely retarded

>>715033570 (OP)

It will more likely be on demand. If a game gets released it will be expected to comply and only after the servers are shut down unlawfully the consumers can report it/sue and then the devs will have to comply or pay the fine.


If some indie live service game shuts down and bo one cares to report it then they can probably still get away with it
