Sure you are, nigger.

You made this thread earlier. It was deleted for a reason. Stop making it.

A petition in EU to prevent Game devs from deleting online servers
Anthem is going to be the next big example, next year the servers are going off-line so anyone who brought the game is simply unable to play it.
What people want the government to mandate is focing devs some way to continue games to play
Devs say its impossible but it's obviously not, devs are just greedy and profit driven which is why they hate this
/v/ hates it becuase anything that doesn't fuck them over is leftist bullshit.

People want to sustain games beyond their usual lifetime, but those people are the same ones who stop playing live service games after 1 week

>>715164846
No way

>>715164524 (OP)
You can still play old games over the internet even if their developers shut the servers down, because they didn't disable your ability to host your own server.
Stop killing games is trying to make it illegal for game developers to prevent you from doing that.

>noooooo the devs who went bankrupt in 2004 have to come back to code the servers for me!!!

Is this the new disinformation push? People keep acting as if they don't know that single player games are and have been getting always online DRM for a while now. It's not just about live service games.

im asking in good faith here, why are there /v/irgins against it?

>>715165515
not against it, i'm indifferent because i don't play garbo live service games nor will i ever, but i'm against the constant spam of shitty threads

>>715165515
Because I would like to buy games while continuing to live in the EU in future. This meme initiative will make companies stop selling games here

>>715165515
LMAO anyone actually falling for the SKG initiative needs their head checked. It's literally just another corpo-friendly psyop wrapped in "community empowerment" buzzwords.

They slap some "by gamers, for gamers" BS on it and expect everyone to kneel. You think these people care about your voice? They're building a controlled ecosystem where only "approved" voices get heard. Bet half the founding members are blue-checks or ResetEra-tier NPCs pretending to be grassroots.

Oh wow, a "curated indie spotlight" section—aka more walking simulators and pixelshit roguelikes made in Unity with $5 asset flips. Actual devs trying to do something original or daring? Good luck unless you're on their diversity checklist.

And don't even get me started on the "anti-toxicity" policies. You know what that means. Any criticism = harassment. Any joke = hate speech. You either bend the knee or get "deplatformed" from their Discord, forums, store, whatever. It's the same playbook as everywhere else, just with gamer paint slapped on.

Call me schizo all you want, but we’ve seen this a hundred times. Just another walled garden with a smiley face on it. Miss me with that curated dystopia.

>>715164982
People still play Battleborn, these games aren't live service anymore it's a way for people to jump back into games they used to play.
It's not about this becoming my next big obsession that I spend days playing it's about me buying a game, deciding I might wanna replay it again but someone yoinking it away from me saying
>Sorry, you can't have that anymore.
I played the Battleborn campaign about 3 times, it's like 10 hours long and feels like playing Overwatch PvE.

>>715165605
im indifferent for the same reason, but this board can only have 1 good thread at a time anyway so it doesnt make make a difference

>>715165626

>can't even enjoy The Crew by myself anymore
Compare this to a very similar game in nature, Test Drive Unlimited (2006), that was a multiplayer open world racer/cruiser game that, if internet was down, you could still play solo.
Both subsequent Crew games have also sucked and felt like downgrades, so the fact that there's a sequel doesn't make up for it either.
It might be a much shittier racer (that looks good), but Need For Speed (2015) is another one that comes to mind. Live service, online only, and when EA decides it's time up that's likely going to be it. A shame since, while the physics are trash (Unite mod exists), that game still has the most soulful aesthetic of modern NFS games.

>>715164846
>/thread yourself
Absolutely lame, even if you are correct.

>>715165746
but its inherently against the interests of making money for big corpo, its asking to give the servers over to the players once theyre done with it

>This meme initiative will make companies stop selling games here
yeah, i'm sure game companies - many of which are based in the EU - will just stop selling games to a first-world region with tons of disposable income and a population of a billion
the cost of paying a codemonkey to make your live service slop available offline will obviously outweigh the billions upon billions of EUR they make from the EU

>>715166208

>>715166087
Yeah, no shit it's against their interests, anon. You think EA or Ubisoft is gonna just hand over the keys when they can milk whales with FOMO and live service trash until the servers rot? Preservation is a threat to their business model. Giving players server code or offline modes means they can’t sell the same game again in 5 years with a slightly shinier coat of paint and a new battle pass. Corporations don’t care about the "legacy" of games, they care about recurring revenue. Once a game stops making money, it’s as good as dead to them.

You want real preservation? Either piracy’s gonna carry it on its back again, or we need laws forcing server shutdowns to be followed by public code release. And we all know how likely that is with corpos lobbying every inch of the way.

pajeets and trolls, I would say low IQ too but you could only misunderstand the initiative on purpose.

Why would you want to save slop as a service?

>>715166346
don't reply to obvious gpt slop

>>715164524 (OP)
Basically people want a way to enjoy online only games once the devs stop supporting them.

Devs hate this because it means they'll have to plan more than 2 sprints ahead.

>>715165746
SKG got corpos quacking in their boots though, they made a whole stink about it to the EU begging them to ignore it and people to stop signing it
Companies like Nintendo, Ubisoft, Microsoft, etc. all were publicly completely against it

>>715166449
There is no way chatgpt is allowed to say "pixelshit"

>>715165626
Yeah I'm sure publishers will pull out of a market with 500 million customers to avoid the cost of releading a patch at the end of a games service life to allow it to start without server authentification

what's the point of this damage control AFTER the campaign is already at 1.3M?

It's about owning your videogames. Videogame publishers hate it since it will make it impossible for them to force planned obsolescence on videogames. Gamers love it since it will stop videogame publishers from killing the games gamers paid for.

Gamers = Good.

vs.

Videogame publishers = Evil.

>>715166475
Yeah no shit they were against it and so am I. Letting random people spin up dead servers and mess with code opens the floodgates for garbage versions of games, security issues, and nonstop legal gray zones. You think some dude running a janky private server from his mom’s basement is gonna do better than the actual devs? Half these clowns can't even host a Minecraft server without lag.

Games are products, not public property. If a company wants to shut it down, that's their right. Don't like it? Don't buy always online trash. Piracy already exists, we don't need to legitimize it under the excuse of “preservation” while people just want free access. SKG is a cope for people who can't let go of old games and think they're owed something.
