>EU Vice President has signed the SKG petition.
What the fuck?
How will game devs make money now? How is everyone in the EU so united on this? i thought they were all different countries.

>How will game devs make money now?
By being competent.

Isn't this kinda a conflict of interest? He better recuse himself.

I like the idea of the only opposition to SKG are big corporations and some schizos on /v/

We want to own the games we buy, that's all there is to it.

no they're just trolling. i can tell because i haven't laughed in 5 days

you dont buy a gacha game
gotcha

>>715658501
you bought a service license with a related agreement that you had to accept before using the software.
i suggest reading it sometime.

>>715658638
The Law > Game TOS
I suggest you get familiar with this phrase because we're changing the law to be pro-consumer, i.e. we own what we buy.

>>715658795
There is no current law lol and SKG isn’t retroactive.
You bought a license to access a service.

Guess he wants MMOs to die. No more adventures. Absolute insane behavior.

>>715658897
Read it again.

>>715658173 (OP)
I voted for SKG in hopes it snowballs and results in general consumer rights protections, especially if it hits DRM, forced ads and predatory subscriptions

>>715659172
just release the code once you are done

>>715658173 (OP)
EU parliament vice president is a literal who

>>715659172
This is still going. Want to guess as to why?

>>715659172
>MMOs to die
I just signed the petition

>>715659337
also the president word is misleading
you could translate it as "speaker" so the guy is a vice-speaker

Eat my entire ass dude.

I have no problem with EUsians being banned from my live service games.

by relying on quality game design and not cheap exploitation of base human instincts

I actually hope the ferret fucker kills himself soon enough

>>715659172
>Guess he wants MMOs to die
Ok where do I sign?

>>715659427
Profit is not fair, you can't make money fairly, you have to exploit something or someone.

Just get an intern to spend a week coding an offline mode this is really not that impactful

spinning this into being about digital planned obsolescence (also covering client-side support of app-based devices) could get more euros on this.

>>715658173 (OP)
He's Romanian. Of course he wants to bring us back to the shit days of 3rd world countries like his being able to run cracked copies and pirate servers of games like CS 1.6 without having to pay for them.

You take
We give

It turns out people giving eachother things works a lot better for society globally, than people taking stuff.

The patent and copyright laws were pushed by the US using tariffs and guns.
Now trump uses guns and tariffs...
We can just move away from this 70year copyright and dcma nonsense, and other nonsense.

You no longer make the rules. We do now.
Dumb dogs simply need taming and a leesh, and they'll obey because they're selfish, meaning, very easy to manipulate, predict and control. You don't make anyone happy, not even yourselves. You shouldn't be surprised people, even your own people retaliate to your rule.

The meritocratic tyranical dystopia will fall. We will end the elite's attempt to transform capitalism into wealth-based feudalism. No more renting.
No more pressuring and forcing people to upgrade. No more reselling the exact same shit to us.
No more skipping out on features and making games duller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQbEBcQ0bo

>anti-SKG faggot is into analingus
Checks out.

>>715659863
You mean like right now?

>>715659863
How does that affect you personally?

Why is literally every single retard against this misunderstanding it, does nobody read and just say things

>>715660307
>Why are shitposters shitposting on contrarian /v/
It's a mystery.

Who cares? EU will be destroyed and partitioned between USA and Russia within 5 years tops.

>>715658638
That's cool, but I want to own the software

Shut up and put the fries in the bag, that's how.

>>715658564
God damn you made me think back to the last time I found a troll funny and it was definitely not on 4chan for a good few years. It's all buzzwords repeated like Harry Potter spells to achieve magical effects these days.

OH NO! HOW WILL GAME COMPANIES MAKE MONEY NOW THAT GAAS THAT HAS EXISTED WAY AFTER VIDEO GAMES STARTED BEING SOLD IS BEING OUTLAWED!?!?

>>715658897
The good thing is that even is SKG isn't retroactive, there are hardly any worthwhile dead games it doesn't cover. It's all about the future.

Keep up the good fight, don't let leftoids push skg shit through

>>715658173 (OP)
>How will game devs make money now?
Same way they did before they found a way to steal peoples property via the internet. By making new games worth buying.

>>715658173 (OP)
NOOOO why can't big corporations steal from poor common people?!

You know this passive aggressive attitude you have is the reason people dislike you. That mentality of thinking we owe you a job because we play and buy games doesn't translate well when you're such an unlikable piece of shit.
So keep it up, I hope you lose your job faster.

>>715661215
>YES! That was because of US! We Did that!

It's a real mystery why you were fired Anon, truly.

Old /v/ would have 100% supported this.
This board is full of Nintencvcks and contrarian faggots who are far too willing to bend over to be mounted by coporations if it meant it was to own the "poorfags" and their boogeymen.

>>715659653
We should exploit the rich since they have the most resources to profit from then.

>>715661353
I can buy games because I have a job. I matter a little more than you

pls kill them all

They don't want you to own anything. They're shitting their pants on how fast SKG is now gaining support. They're trying to turn this into another gamergate and I'm afraid it's actually working.
Game journalists are making Asmongold and Pewdiepie the face of the SKG movement.
>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.”
>As the campaign approaches legislative milestones, its ability to remain inclusive and principled will determine whether it becomes a force for good or another flashpoint in gaming’s long-running culture wars.
That article is a load of fucking sjw sludge.
They're really playing dirty now, how the fuck do we stop them?

Do you see how fucking retarded SKG is? You fags haven't thought this through for a single minute.

Just plan for this in development. It isn't going to regulate existing games.
Rule one of software development. Understand your requirements

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.
