Thread 715688641

Ross is already talking to major EU politicians about SKG.
We are winning

remember that SKG would have NEVER gotten to where it is now if a certain very skilled and talented game dev didn't step up to play the role of villain. be sure to thank him for his sacrifice when you have the chance

>>715688880
Okay, Ill be sure to thank Hitler and Stalin as well.

Lol imagine listening to a creature like Ross and it being your job to pretend he's not completely retarded

>straight up calling his backers dumb
The sad part is too many of them will prove it by continuing to support this retard. The deflection about having people to take care of and financing the ferret rescue is laughable since he put himself in this situation by choice to begin with. Why the fuck can't he just be a man and admit he doesn't care about the game because streaming makes him more money? Nobody would care if he stated the game was a recreational hobby and could take a long time to complete but he dug his hole from the beginning and needs to accept that.

>>715688641 (OP)

>>715690134
Jason, why did you start a ferret rescue, and bring on a dozen full time employees the moment you found a bit of income? You were streaming for YEARS to bad to mediocre numbers, when a fucking cosmic ray shot your shit up into the algorithm, and made you popular. Immediately, you decided to spend your sudden wealth on multiple major money sinks, that would necessitate your popularity not being a fluke, or 15 minutes of fame.

honestly even if it somehow turns out like 400k of the signups were faked or just americans being too dumb to realize its EU only the fact we have actual EU politians not only willing to talk to Ross and the official spokes person but also outright supports the initiative means that they're gonna start pushing this on their own accord.

No way 400k are fake

>>715690134
I don't get it, why is he sounding afraid that he might not find work to support his ferret rescue? he wont shut up about how he has worked at Blizzard, goverment defcon badge, he ran his own company, surely for someone so accomplished he shouldn't have any issue finding a great well paying job hmm

>>715688880
I know people are gonna make fun, but he unironically did. This is politics 1o1 where you create a face of your enemy to rally behind the hero of the story aka the person you're gonna vote for.

imagine thinking anything ever gets done in the EU lmao

>>715688880
If he had any wisdom he would not of stood against it

>>715692006
I was just throwing out a hyperbolic number, there are still probably some invalid signatures, again from americans signing thinking they're smart or just actual EU citizens that messed up somewhere, maybe slipped and typed Jon instead of John which would invalidate it.
Still I do think we're in the clear, I was more pointing out that EU politicians are very obviously ready to continue the fight even if the initiative ended up failing.

>>715692252

His arguments are always framed in a victimized light, so that you can't criticize him without sounding like an asshole. (My favored ferret died, so I've been occupied / my company supports hard working people and I'm trying my best to support them / you don't understand, I get a ton of death thtreats every day!). It's very common for someone narcissistic to do.

>>715690134
>nooo stop, youre going to make me unable to sexually abuse ferrets

>>715692467
well true, but also his list of credentials are not as good as he claims, he'd be lucky to be hired as a entry QA tester

Exactly my thought, zoomers wouldn't remember

Yeah if only people would stop doing that. But the general populace are retarded so I guess there's nothing we can do but continue to get fucked in the ass. At least I voted with my wallet so I can feel good while getting fucked in the ass.

>>715693303
I don't the ferret thing at all, is the rescue a big thing? They are fur animals and not traditional pets, does anyone care. It's unusual to have one and illegal in most places.

>ferret rescue
Is this ferret rescue actually real or are these ferrets his fucking pets? I've been wondering that ever since I saw this clip:
https://files.catbox.moe/fcm3g2.mp4
He has such a strong reaction to a joke about one of those ferrets, that I feel someone running (or working at) an animal rescue shouldn't have. You're not supposed to get emotionally attached, as animals at these are supposed to be either adopted by someone or reintroduced back into the wild once they're strong enough. Seems to me like he's just hoarding ferrets.

>>715695450
All he had to do was use his mana gem and frost nova.

>>715690134
>holding his employees hostage
>unironically holding the ferrets hostage
I think people having zero charitability about anything he does are cringe, precisely because this is the part where you need that energy. There's no defending this one.

Tick tock publishers - day of the mold soon.

If this does manage to pass EU law, what's stopping game developers, both in the EU and outside, from just geoblocking anyone with a european IP from playing Live Service games? Does this mean that euros are going to be stuck playing games with "traditional" multiplayer?

>>715696291
Do you want to make some money or none at all? It's that simple.
But seeing how EA? did not release some of their games here because all they had to do was show a %/chance of getting an item in a gatcha roll who knows what will happen?

>>715690202
this makes absolutely no sense

>>715696291
It's a cost-benefit analysis. Nothing is stopping them, but what did EU lose with that? I'm sorry, but if your company fails with this law in place, your company was going to fail without the resulting law. There's likely zero additional companies that fail because of the law.

It's a terrible business decision to not just conform with the law. This might seem like hyperbole, but it's not. If I was a stockholder, I would sue the company at that point. There's no way that decision was made to maximize profits.

>>715696291
And lose out on a lot of money? Apple is a trillion dollar company and guess what, they bent the knee.

>>715696212
He's a furry (bestiality enthusiast) and a ferret is his gay furrsona. He cheated on his wife with an Asian boy so he's gay.

Because shareholders don’t think in the long term. If arrow goes down, they get pissed. If arrow drops like a stone, heads start to roll.

The one thing that really shits me off about this game, among other things, is how barebones it is. It's a story driven game... but the plot is rushed by so quickly and barely has a hook. It doesn't even give you actual time to connect with the dog and instead throws "quirky dialogue" at you as a replacement for character.
>Feed dog
>Take out garbage
>He says something about being a Viking
>Ded dog
There is no actual build up to anything. Animus and the corporation sections are even worse for this... somehow.

>>715697085
Does it have actual gameplay

>>715697124
There are only two mandatory combat sections, and the combat is pretty shit being wario ware microgames that go on for too long. Outside of like 5 puzzles and a couple of minigames, most of it is walking and talking with some decision making.

>>715697175
Oh damn it's a YIIK-like?

>>715697206
Yeah, imagine YIIK's original combat without the RPG elements and no other party members to break up what type of microgames happen, with only 2 mandatory encounters.
That's heartbound.

>>715688880
This guy has no shame whatsoever

>>715697124
It has less than 15 minutes of gameplay. The remaining 2 hours is just a poorly written visual novel and a bad walking simulator.

Fez 2 would have been critically and commercially successful though. Its crazy to me that Fish had two choices:

and he choose the latter rather than the former.

>>715698048

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.

just because you don't like them doesn't mean nobodies ever heard of them. like it or not, these people are very influential in today's society

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.

The gaming industry just laid off tens of thousands of jobs this year alone, it's not in a good state at the moment. This movement is just another kick in the teeth while they're already down.
These demands are absolutely unrealistic and are impossible especially for indies to implement.
It will also have other unforeseen consequences like increased inflation and a possible collapse of the industry.

Riddle me this. Why would a company use more expensive materials to make their product less durable?

Someone else will fill the market gap

Bongs, there's another petition related to SKG if anyone wants to sign:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903

Essentially this law makes it impossible to host your own dedicated servers, as you become legally responsible for anything said in their chat. I doubt a private server hosted in the UK will be able to fund round the clock monitoring of all players.

Thor, you can literally just continue streaming and making your game. Like, yes, I don’t like you and I do think you are an ass with a massive ego, but as a human being with free will why should you even give a fuck about that at this point? SKG is out of your hands now. The sooner you move on the sooner people will quit clowning on you everywhere you go. I find it strange that you worked on security for World of Warcraft and don’t know how to not feed trolls. And I say “you” because I know you read these threads. As someone who supported SKG long before the drama shit made it big, I agree, I kind of hate that this is what it took, but come on, you’re not going to war over this shit. You’re kind of a dick with an ego. Many such cases. It’s not a crime and your livelihood isn’t at stake, the livelihoods of your employees shouldn’t be held hostage like this.

>>715699435
>Publishers constantly demand fortnite clones that can be instantly shut down if they aren’t immediately a mega hit
Ah yes, WE are the ones doing the teeth kicking here. Totally.

>>715699382
It sucks but that’s life.
Ross said it himself long before the drama, politicians are NOT roused by justice alone. Games preservation doesn’t move them. But they ARE moved by the idea of companies taking things that are owned. Spite is a powerful emotion, especially in a time where most people are apathetic about things. You can choose to not like it, but this is the world you live in.

So how do MAGAtroons cope with the fact that this kinda thing would never happen in the US and that the Congress would never pass pro-consumer laws about video games?

>>715696291
>geoblocking anyone with a european IP from playing Live Service games
Won't happen. Their choice will be either
>make money on a game with online features and later release an update to make it playable offline / upload server hosting tools after EoS
or

AAA companies will absolutely hate it if SKG passes, but they will also take money and a kick to their pride over no money at all.
