Sorry, I'm just not going to destroy my copy because the EULA was terminated and I don't need to follow it anymore.

>>715428295 (OP)
Ok, then refund and that will be sweet.

Games are not physical products you can "own". They are walks in the park, a ball game with your friends, a trip to an amusement park. They are just things for entertainment to pass the time.
You don't gain full ownership of the park or ball game because you spent $20 on a ticket. Funny how that works huh?

>>715428756
>Games are not physical products you can "own".

>>715428756
ok, so how long can you play the game then?
a ticket to the park has a predetermined timer.
refuse to respond to this and I will (correctly) assume that you are Jewish

SKG fans claim to fight for justice, but there’s no justice in demanding indie devs work for free, release IP, and maintain servers forever. That’s not preservation, it’s exploitation wrapped in gamer entitlement.

No one is forcing them to maintain servers. They can just release the server binaries and let individual people setup servers. Games used to be like this.

>It doesn't work anymore
But it does though. Games don't naturally expire. They're deleted either willingly or by accident.
Unless there is an actual good reason ("competing" with sequel is not a valid reason) to actually delete a copy, that EULA is not legally-binding and would get destroyed in any court with basic customer protection laws, especially since Ubisoft are the ones terminating said EULA for no other reasons then anti-customer practices.
>>715428927
That's why indie devs already comply with what SKG wants by offering local servers, P2P, offline mode, etc. Only AAA companies are against it because they want to sell remakes/remasters with low effort.

>but trespassing!
not stealing

>>715429731
I'm perfectly fine with piracy, you can't steal a service.
SKG is doomed to fail because there's no way you can force developers to maintain their project until the end of time.

You literally can do exactly that
Just say that you're fine with stealing, pussy

This is Baldurs Gate 3 EULA: https://store.steampowered.com/eula/1086940_eula_0

Ctrl+f termination. This EULA is shown to everyone who boots the game for the first time. Now why didn't anyone complain about this? Oh right. Because nobody cares. You only wanna make fun of Ubisoft. Or Randy. Steam is also best thing ever with their DRM platform.

>>715430032
we call those Rape.

>>715430032
Stealing means the original is gone, like stealing some milk from the store. Piracy means the original is still there, you both get milk.

99% of retards against SKG have either not even read what it's actually about, or purposefully spread disinformation for their corporate masters.
Read the FAQ, you fucking trogs.

>>715429947
first of all you can steal a service you dumb shit people have been stealing cable since the inception and two no one is asking developers to maintain and patch Shit Dick 2 it says in giant text that that isnt what the movement is about

Of course, Ubisoft! I will DEFINITELY uninstall my vidya when you stop supporting it, honest injun!

>>715430106
It does not mean that, you are trying to force that meaning upon it to justify theft to yourself. Stealing means that you have intentionally obtained something, goods or services without lawful right to do so

>>715430205
>he has to pay to walk in a park
what shithole do you reside in?

Ubisoft can't even enforce the termination conditions of this EULA cause once the EULA is terminated you're no longer bound by its conditions and can do whatever the fuck you want.

>>715430205
If that park is privately owned and a walk there costs money then yes you could steal a walk in that park

>>715428756
I have a question:
If I walk in a park and do something that goes against the park's code of conduct/TOS/EULA, I would get thrown out.
If I keep the ballgame's equipment I knowingly rented, I would get sued. If I purchased the equipment, it's mine to keep for an indefinite amount of time and use whenever I want.
If I overstay my welcome in an amusement park, past the time time allocated by the ticket I purchased, I would get thrown out.
So if EULAs give companies the supposed right to demand you destroy your purchases, why have they not been enforced?

>>715431259

good question, but here's a better one: why does she look so inflatable?

>>715430061
Interesting but the wording is a little different in BG3 case. It states that you can choose to terminate the agreement and thus license that is granted to you is void. As such you actively want to get rid of the game and you should delete it from your PC, which I think it's reasonable. It doesn't state that Larian can terminate the license for whatever reason and that you're forced to wipe it from your HDD.

>You understand and agree that certain Services connected to the Game, and the support and access to such Services are provided by Larian Studios at its discretion and may be terminated or otherwise discontinued by Larian Studios at any time, for any reason or no reason, in its sole and absolute discretion.
That's in reference to the "Service" that Larian provides like its launcher, which in the rest of the document is always distinguished from "Game" and "Pact." The only thing that's making you destroy your video game in that section is you revoking the Pact.

>>715431259
That's why they are looking for a future where "games as services" is the standard, that's why I hate Gamepass niggers, because they are dumb motherfuckers with shortsightedness.

The game is the service you absolute buffoon. You can find the same from Elden Ring EULA. Ubisoft didn't make this shit up.

>>715431259
They can't enforce their bullshit EULA so long as game ownership is a concept, which is why they're seeking to eliminate it by making games a service you pay a fee to access.

>>715431760
Certain services. It uses the term that certain services can be terminated. It's not about the license or pact, but some random services that are tied to the game. I don't know what type of service they're referencing specifically but I believe it would be like invaders or world's affinity in Demon Souls on PS3. The service is unavailable now, you can't invade other people's games but the game itself works fine. I believe there's something similiar in BG3 as well.

You can't.

>>715432576
But Ubisoft can. Let's all laugh at Ubisoft.

EULA is retarded in the first place. Why do I need to sign an agreement to play a fucking videogame? I remember just putting a disc inside my PS1 and the game started instantly without asking for me to sign a fucking document. That should be the norm.

EULAs are entrapment. They know full well that you aren't not just going to skip through the text and hit agree. So therefore, you didn't really agree to anything, and the contract is void.

in regards to the physical aspect of is, in the EU this is literally illegal to demand
once i bought a product, it is mine, and while i do not own the rights of the software, i own the license to use it, and that is mine
and before anyone calls bullshit, here's the ruling https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2012-07/cp120094en.pdf

>Ubisoft getting into even more legal fuckery
you just love to see it

>>715434629
the pic is only referring to the cause of the ruling, being the reselling of license, but the argument in the ruling itself is exactly that the reason why i can resell my used license is exactly cause, once purchased, i own that license and i can do with it as i please and the author of the licensed software cant impose what i do with it(which includes "destroying any copy")

>>715428295 (OP)
I believe, I've seen something similiar in the back of the manual of an old PS1 game by Activision. I'll take a look around my collection but I believe it was Guardian's Crusade.

>>715434749
the best part of this is the implied contraddiction:
the argument in favor of "you don't own the game" is that you only own a license to use the game, and they can revoke that license.
but their own argument for why you should destroy any copy is cause....you own the game, cause if you actually only owned a license they can revoke, revoking it should be enough cause once revoked, you own nothing else.

>>715434581
You know it doesn't work this way. I'm not a reseller, I'm a happy video games enjoyer and I'm happy with my copy.

>>715434682
It's often -75%, maybe even more, I think it's definitely worth the discounted price.

>>715429358
This. It's just a generic template. Phasmophobia got shat on for the exact same thing a few years back at which point one of the devs pretty much confirmed this, while also pointing out other examples like BG3 or Dead by Daylight.
Pic related is Elden Ring's EULA, which I randomly looked up right now, just to name a game people generally tend to suck off and I'm sure that it's present in pretty much any other EULA for any game out there.

>>715436305
For that one, it only states that the YOU may terminate by destroying your copy, but it doesn't mean that the company terminating the license also obligates you destroy your copy. And a lot of other examples brought up like BG3 are the same way. Though that Rockstar one does say "upon any termination", it's not as unique to Ubisoft as people are thinking but it's also not as common as people are saying.

I dunno, why do conservitards refuse to tax them more than the average citizen?

Yep, me neither
I mean, they gave Watch_Dogs, Watch_Dogs 2 and Assassin's Creed 4 for free, currently you can play Ubi games if you have PS+ extra and the games are dirt cheap from second hand market (I bought Far Cry 4 for $6 for PS4) so technically I play their games but I'm not paying for them.

>>715440516
It's there to equate physical and digital games. It's so they can point at it and say that they are the same thing, so please don't force us to let people keep what they bought.

This kind of shit shouldn't even be legal. I purchased the game under the old terms. That was the deal I paid for. The new deal is not what I paid for.

I bet American courts would argue that I hadn't even purchased the game in the first place. But European courts actually argue that I purchased a copy of the game.
So WHY are they allowed to just change the EULA after my purchase?

Imagine if I did that as a car salesman or something.
>sell car under a conventional contract

Even if it'd make the car fucking useless. It would never fly. But in the world of software shit like this happens all the time.

This game freaked me out as a kid. The default skin has a 10,000 yard stare, like it knows what you did and is afraid of you. Also why the fuck did it take over 10 years for someone to get it working again?

I feel like that sort of stuff is in, especially for games obtained digitally, so that if they feel the need to really make sure that the game is gone from people's computers they could push an 'update' that involves deleting all the files like as if the user uninstalled the game, and then point at the agreement if complaints about it go their way.

Currently (for Steam at least, if a similar agreement exists) the onus is on the user themselves to do so, but isn't enforced in that if a game is made no longer available to be purchased or downloaded, people who still have it downloaded/installed can still play it

In your food analogy terms, it's like that box had an unlimited supply of Big Mac's in it but one day the company who sold it locked you from opening it and threw away the key.
The Box still has big Macs inside it, but you just need the key to access it, and the company would rather you destroy that box than open it for yourself with a lockpick.

No, it's wealth redistribution. Nobody is taxing your existing assets.

Good. Based Ubisoft. Keeping it strictly business on both ends. I can respect that. What a shame it is they only want to push propaganda or they would actually be worth supporting. Putting niggers or asians in your game puts you on my "never ever list".

>>715445956

Thanks, chatGPT.

since burgers need food-adjacent analogues

Imagine you buy a knife, you use the knife to make your food
Occasionally it gets dull and the parent company helpfully sends sends you sharpeners when it happens
Now one day the company says they're stopping the sharpener process, but you kinda like that knife, so naturally, you're going to try and sharpen it with another sharpener, or maybe something DIY, this is logical to anyone

However instead the company argues that the knife service has been terminated when they stopped selling sharpeners and not only should you not be allowed to sharpen the knife yourself, you should immediately have it melted down

that's what's happening here

tbf that same principle was applied with Reaganomics (with idea that reduced taxes on the wealthy would "trickle down" and make everyone wealthier, trickle down economics it's called) and all it did was make the wealthy wealthier and they still somehow manage to owe 0$ in taxes. The wealthy need to be reined in through stricter enforcement.

Interesting theory, however I am wealthy and I just paid a dozen expensive researchers to say you're wrong, and a dozen expensive lawyers to make sure you never say anything again. What now?

the box only outputs bigmacs for as long as it functions, and it only functions until they have a new bigmac. it would be retarded for the first box to output bigmacs once there's a new box that does bigmacs.

>>715428756
I'm looking forward to seeing Ubisoft pull this line in court when they're getting rammed by SKG. Knowing how retarded our court system can be I'm like 40% sure it might work.

Download and backup copies of old games. It is your duty as a gamer and member of GANGWEED

>he posts licenses to operate games that will lose durability on a daily basis until they break someday

>>715429731
that line has always been dumb because stealing isn't just a physical theft in the entire human history, it's like you're all born yesterday in the teet of tiktok

>>715446537
Please tell me which country you live in where the stocks you own, your savings and your personal property are being passively taken away from you.

Reminder that if SKG gets struck down then every single video game company will work towards adding killswitches to their new games so that the goycattle (that's you) won't be able to keep playing their old games and instead be forced to buy new ones every year.

You can repair chips.
You can even take the chip that holds the ROM and solder it to a brand new PCB if you need to.

PCBWay sells pic related for Gameboy carts.

There's at least 100-200 exceptionally good or really good games that already exist that are DRM-free. That's enough games for your whole life. Not a single new game needs to ever be released, so nothing of value will be lost if new games are all "live service" games.

>>715428295 (OP)
one of the small benefits of the internet is that it's marginally harder for big companies to say "uh actually you need to give the house back, we have lawyers" because they used to get people all the time with scary yet easily googleable lies

>>715440064
Sure, but Jewbisoft's the one that said "Get used to not owning your games". It's definitely not a mistake.

>>715428295 (OP)
Damn
I was right to never buy Ubishit again
>>715428360
Then don't make me pay for it like I own ir

>>715447610
Laughs in fan games and ROM hacks that are better than whatever live service shit AAA studios are putting out now.

>>715428927
Who said to force them to mainatin it? Release the damn server tools and that's it. Or allow for local play. Or even single player play

>>715448249
>Will never release
>Brain-fucked zoomers unironically mad at neutral non-pointed quotations of slurs ensure it will extra never release

You have only yourself to blame.

>>715428360
It does.
When the official servers for PSO went down, private server efforts immediately kicked off because all of the game data was right there to work with from the start.

If that's true then explain how toasters toast toast.

Not him but inflation passively takes away wealth from everyone. Inflation is caused by the government printing money.

>>715448339
You don't even really have to do that. Just release the game without DRM and allow P2P networking for all multiplayer functions.

>>715447473
My property taxes for the house I own are $600 per year.
If I don't pay that, the government will take it away from me.

>>715447174
no it wouldn't be retarded for there to be more big macs. if this were literally any other product they wouldn't even attempt this shit, imagine a company demanding the right to repo your fridge the day that there's a new one without any kind of reimbursement or new fridge. Or, conversely because I know some pedantic contrarian is gonna say this, any software product. Apple gets away with it fucking somehow because they don't state it outright but if Microsoft had said "we're coming out with '98 soon so everyone is legally obligated to delete '95, no we will not be providing '98 for free you have to destroy your own property and then you must buy the new one, we have lawyers" then the outrage would've been so instant and violent that the company would've gone under

We were originally talking about the only solution to avoid one group of people from being richer than the rest being forcefully taking away the assets and property from the richest 10% and redistributing it to the 90%. Since taxes are, according to one anon, not a solution and would just result in stuff being more expensive for the majority of people.
If taxes are not a solution to wealth disparity, then the only solution is to take a percentage of people's excess wealth by force so that everyone is at least within 20% of each other when it comes to total net worth at the end of the year.

I would kill for a decent Genesis/MD collection. Most aesthetically pleasing package ever, made in an era of the coolest fantasy art ever.

the box was never going to output bigmacs forever

ET servers still exists
pso servers still exists

warhammer server still exists
go kill yourself

Based take. I see people crying about the death of gaming every time a new microtransaction circus gets announced, but we've already got a backlog of god-tier stuff that most people will never finish in their lifetime. Between GOG, ROM backups, fan translations, and PC modding scenes, you can comfortably ignore the entire "modern gaming" hellscape and still be living better than 90% of gamers were 20 years ago. Just emulate, mod, and move on.

If Ubisoft terminate the EULA than I don't have to do anything it says.

>eula this eula that
no one reads the eula
its not a contract fuck sake

Thanks for the input, Dobson

well my instagram shit is full of saved reels about different foods i want to make
so theres food on my phone

>>715428295 (OP)
So the all the games that have some sorts of liveservice shops too?

That would include all new Ass Red games.Watchdogs.fenyx rising and more.

I say fuck you Ubishit. You will not come after my Fenyx rising and Watch dogs games!! If you enter my home then you will be met with a bullet and then a cock inside that hole on the skull.

Is this even legally enforceable?

EULAs are adhesion contracts. They essentially are a prewritten one where you cannot disagree to one provision, you either agree to all or disagree to all.

I am a lawyer. Not an EU or US lawyer sure, but I know that adhesion contracts are frowned upon by courts REGARDLESS of jurisdiction.

In essence, most of these are terms you would never agree to if you knew about it, and even if you know about it, they're usually not reasonable and a blatant example of a big corporation using its power over singular small consumers.

They are essentially unenforceable, and even void. So EULA terms like this don't mean shit. It's all just attempts to get away with one-upping over consumers. Most contracts have separability clauses, one void clause doesn't affect the whole contract. Hence, inserting shit like this is a typical legal tactic. Lawyers love making blatantly oppressive terms and conditions because they know the only effect is at most making that specific term void. Trust me, I know.

They are not afraid of anti consumer lawsuits because they can buy lawyers. That's it.
