Thread 715623190

The ECI site sneakily updated the minimum signatures threshold needed by the Stop Killing Games initiative to 1.400.000. Is this rigged or what?

You can literally read that it requires at least one million. You can have a goal of twelve billion but that LEAST part is the only word that matters.

>>715623190 (OP)
Didn't Ross say he was talking with some commissioner guy or something. Maybe he asked them to raise the goal to a safe threshold or something

>You WILL make your server code available
>You WILL make it run on Linux because Windows does not guarantee infinite lifetime
>You WILL expose all your proprietary code in a plain executable that everyone can reverse engineer
>You WILL have problems with hackers on your new games, because they now know how the server code works
>You WILL put GIANT stickers and warnings on the game telling that this will only last two (2) years
>You WILL see your sales dropping because nobody will buy a game that will supposedly only last two (2) years

>I WILL play that shitty game of yours "The Crew" that came out 10 years ago
>NO I do not want to play "The Crew 2" which is EXACTLY like the first one, but only better

>>I BOUGHT THOSE PAIR OF SHOES 10 YEARS AGO AND I EXPECT THEM TO FUNCTION LIKE NEW - FOREVER - AND EVER - AND EVER
yes? stop buying dogshit shoes

>>715623479
I can go to a cobbler to get my shoes fixed is there a market that fixes games that don't function that the consumer can look into?

>>715623190 (OP)
He said its to counter any fake signatures and stuff, in case there's less than 1mil real names

>>715623479
I expect my shoes to last at least 10 years if they cost decent money, don't buy trash like nike

>>715623786
>is there a market that fixes games that don't function that the consumer can look into?
yes unironically

>>715624019
And that market is?

Who cares if they "kill" games? It's literally just a video game lol, just play a different one

>>715623802
this is the real answer, thread can end now

modders for sp games or people that code custom servers for mp ones

>>715623479
shut up tranny

>>715624203
So games have a secondary market that exists to uphold the product's fuctionality?

My favourite part about this initiative is how it makes all the right people seethe.
>every single corporaten corpse which should have died eons ago but refuses because
>corporate bootlickers, especially leftoid ones
>every single dogshit Hipster dev, including the most sociopathic, pathological liars
It's fucking good. It hurts all the right people. Every single retard I want to suffer suffers because of it. The emotional distress that it causes them fuels me to pursue my hunt for signatures every single day. God, I wish I could see these faggots personally and watch them twist in pain and agony.

>>715624342
yeah it's called a bounty board

>>715624342
yeah

>>715624402
My favorite part about it is retards thinking things will change for the better, it will just end up with some retarded shit like "lmao game is banned in EU enjoy"

>>715624342
yes, and it's massive. best example are various community-run servers that get financed through donations alone. not even counting the predatory ones like good gambling servers. there are also servers where the people even DO IT FOR FREE, like the Warhammer mmo one.

>I BOUGHT THOSE PAIR OF SHOES 10 YEARS AGO AND I EXPECT THEM TO FUNCTION LIKE NEW - FOREVER - AND EVER - AND EVER

In the EU, shoe manufacturers have to release instructions, so that a third party has a reasonable chance to repair them.

>>715624632
>games that Devs can turn off remotely will be banned in EU
and this is bad, because...?

>>715624842
>and this is bad, because...?
Because I'm capable of making my own choices whether I want to play a videogame or not? I don't need some boomer to decide it for me

>>715624632
I sincerely hope that all those dogshit games get banned in the EU. I'm sick and tired of gachaslop, gaas scams and MMOs, genres only played the the dregs of society.
>b-b-but people have a right to get scammed
No, they do not. Too bad Fortnite will likely be banned little Timmy, don't piss and shit yourself too much when it happens, k? Hope you choke on your own puke soon.

How does that work if gamin is a service?

>>715625237
All sorts of dead games have community servers, all this is doing is taking power away from people by making companies responsible for the servers.

>>715624815
according to americans this is literally communism

>>715625349
But if the product is actually a service none of that should be possible.

>>715625670
What is your dumb ass even trying to get at?

>>715623479
Buh-Baseeeed!!!?

Reminder fascism is when the government does things that don't help corporations.
This initiative? Fascism 101!

>>715625034
>If I want to fund producers of dogshit scams, I should be allowed to!
No, not at all. People like you are the exact reason why this initiative even exists. Little shit-eaters like you have been funding all the disgusting practices of modern gaming, and seeing how this initiative will put an end to it, I will gladly accept that I will be unable to play the latest gaas slop.
The best part? It causes shit-eaters like you EXTREME distress. I am 100% honest here btw. I want little maggot people like you to constantly be mad that boomers will shit all over people like you, the main cause of the shitification of the industry. I want you to have to jump through 10 hoops every time you try to play another one of your ass games made for low IQ subhumans. This is the future I envision.

>>715625034
And your choices brought you to take pride about shitpost on a chinese basket weaving forum. What an achievement, fucking loser.

>>715625862
Based beyond belief.
Total goontroon death.

jason, here's a hint- there's no need to constantly announced that you worked at blizzard entertainment™ © ඞ, if you were an actual big shot there it'd be common knowledge.

AAA shit, indieslop isn't banned though

but how are you gonna do that with world of warcraft

>>715626253
Do what

>>715625825
This is true

>>715626253
make people walk around empty world without quests if servers are offline

I'm the first 2nd generation 4chan shitposter (she/her)

>>715626253
>Even easier and better modability
i already signed the petition Maldavius, you don't have to convince me!

>>715626253
WoW literally has 1000 private servers because the server code is out there. It is a perfect example of how online-only games could easily survive post end-of-service in accordance with SKG.

>>715626448
babby has no idea how private servers work, daww

>>715624632
>every dogshit always-online game gets banned in the EU
Yurofag here, how is this not the best outcome?

>>715626534
I thought it would be more resource intensive to run entire wow on ur pc

>>715626253
It applies to games that come out in the future.

>>715626590
>ur
Hmmm?

>>715625862
It won't put an end to those practices, you just won't be able to play those games while the rest of the world will.

>>715625034
Yes, people should be protected from scammers. That’s why we have laws that do exactly that. They even penalise those who prey on the mentally retarded if they’re specifically targeting them, because people that aren’t subhuman view exploiting the vulnerable as an act of evil.
I bet you use pajeet as an insult too, even though by your logic they should be free to scam to their heart’s content.

>>715626632
first day on the internet?

>>715626725
Yes. Do all people on the internet talk like chromosome devourers?

>>715626676
>That’s why we have laws that do exactly that.
We don't though, big companies and govs can scam people all they want.
>I bet you use pajeet as an insult too, even though by your logic they should be free to scam to their heart’s content.
It's your fault if you get scammed, yes.

>>715626676
and this isn't even a new thing, in medieval times scamming people by selling them inferior goods such as meat pies with rancid meat carried sentences up to and including death penalty

it's modern day laws that have allowed scammers to get away with far more than they used to by hiding behind the technicalities of the law, in older times trying to do that would have you buried in the woods while the village pretended to have seen nothing

Honestly, for all of maldavius fagtree's scumfuck behaviour, nothing made me angrier than the way he talks to his own father.
>clip where his dad tells him neither he or his brother even so much as sent a happy birthday text this year
>immediately lies about it
>when confronted directly with proof he just falls back on joking about it and sarcastically exaggerating "oh im such a terrible son lol lmao haha"
>you can see the disappointment on his dad's face
If I saw someone I knew acting that way towards a parent that clearly still loves them they would be out cold in an instant. If you're acting like an asshole rebellious teen and you're in your fucking 30s, you're a piece of shit through and through.

>>715626843
>We don't though, big companies and govs can scam people all they want.
Quick question, when you go to any stores to buy products, are they allowed to have things that are inherently harmful to you? Oh wait, there's laws, rules and regulations that stop companies from filling their shit with harmful stuff.

>>715626993
>Quick question, when you go to any stores to buy products, are they allowed to have things that are inherently harmful to you?
Yes as long as it's a big company

>>715626981
he's the sort of person when their dad dies, they get annoyed they have to pretend to be sad

>>715626981
Please understand, he had not been through his second puberty yet.

>1 decimal 4
So a one and 40% of a second signature? And you're complaining because?

>>715626981
I spend every one of my dad's birthdays with him and so does the rest of my family, the only way I could understand maldavius is if his father beat him or abused him, and IF THAT WERE THE CASE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HIM ON YOUR STREAM NIGGER

>>715623190 (OP)
>sneakily
What were they supposed to do, call you on the phone to announce it?

>>715624632
The cost of having an end of life plan is peanuts compared to revenue from the EU market.

>>715624402
>>corporate bootlickers, especially leftoid ones
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Are you one of the people who think that unrelenting neolibs (neoliberalism is right wing by the way) such as Obama was not only left wing, but even a socialist or a communist?

>>715627689
shareholders hate long term planning though

>>715627841
I promise removing the entire EU market will make line go down much steeper in one quarter than adding end of life support

>>715628026
Do it.

>>715624720
These can be taken down with a cease and desist you dumbass.

https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2017/000004_en

we probably have the most healthy support across the entire EU, if most these signatures are valid.
given the uniformity across the board, i wonder about the validity of these signatures -.-

shame if I made a petition to end diversity in europe I would get instantly blacklisted and prob jailed :(

This "movement" being composed of disingenuous faggots and eceleb drones is enough reason to oppose it.

>>715635140
Sort of like the type of disingenuous faggots that will deliberately misread a screencap, try lying their way out of it when called out and eventually resort to deflecting when they get humiliated over it?

>>715635351
Literally nothing has been misread, you're being a disingenuous, repulsive faggot.

It's right there, bro.
