It's that simple.
Take notes corporate shills.

>>argue in good faith
lol

>>715798690 (OP)
But that didn't happen. He had to make pirate the bad guy so people had a bad man to throw stones at instead of the idea.

>>715799923
Pirate made himself the bad guy

>>715799923
See you failed both, that's why you lose.

He won't win. The EU will side with the corporations. Screen cap this.

>>715800241
Like they sided with Apple in the USB-C case?
We're gonna own our video games and you can't stop us. Screencap this.

>>715799923
Nobody would have jumped on pirate if he kept his mouth shut. He painted a target on his own back then had the audacity to complain about being a target. Dude is a straight up retard and anyone who defends him should be thrown into the ocean.

>>715799923
How did he force Pirate to say hes actively against it and I quote 'I hope you get everything you asked for but nothing you wanted' ? thats a pretty impressive if Scott can manipulate people like that

>>715798690 (OP)

Based and white.

>>715800616
His mold powers are vast

>>715800241
Like they sided with Nintendo?

im not a mald fan, but theres no way the initiative would have gotten 1.4 signatures if mald didnt act like a complete sperg. ross' video kicking this off wouldnt have had the pull if not for the drama

>>715799923
funny how simply replying to what pirate says automatically makes him the bad guy

>>715799923
Right on cue. Dance monke like your family line depends on it.

Ross may have done this and has been earnest and honest.

but he has cut throat legions that won't hesitate to lie, attack and destroy behind him. When the powers of the legion was unleashed Ross was basically pushed aside and that's when the winning started.

>>715799923
You're right. That Ross faggot kept saying for almost an entire year that he would win without drama...then as the end approaches he has no choice but to turn to drama to motivate the Eurocucks.

I get you
It's like watching F1, it's very boring if there are no crashes

>>715804329
>you see, designing products that don't self-destruct on our whims is very hard

this man's hairline is diabolical

>>715799923
Ross totally knew he was cooking drama. He went out of his way to say the initiative failing was his fault (SKG signatures dropping isn't evidence when it's normal for an initiative to lose momentum) and to portray him like an asshole (reaction segment). SKG would've failed without this because people love a villain but it was still underhanded.

>>715803982
yeah, i agree
love Ross and fully support SKG but normalfags are cattle and were only duped into signing this petition out of spite towards someone everyone decided to (deservedly) dogpile

>>715804453

he only "won" because that other retard was more of a faggot than him

it's literally only because PS lost all esteem after his WoW hijinks

>>715799687
What if we abandoned the veneer of satire and sarcasm and approached each other in sincerity?
What if we actually said what we felt and believed instead of dismissing honest conversation?

>>715804738
Wow no shit.

>>715800241
Too many authentic Marxists in Europe for that to happen. It's only in America where Marxism is largely just an aesthetic that corporate bootlickers like to wear.

Ffs shills, half this board at least stuck its dick into BATCH scripting, and that's all you need to have as experience to know you're spewing bullshit.

>>715804932
Why do you think they're so mad, anon?
Every SKG thread for the last week has been a victory lap rubbing their noses in it.
they're fucking fuming over it and can do nothing but throw an ever more embarrassing tantrum in response.

>>715799923
HE WAS ALWAYS THE BAD GUY, RETARD!!!!
HE CALLED ROSS A USED CAR SALESMEAN FOR WANTING CUSTOMER RIGHTS! ARE YOU DENSE? ARE YOU FUCKING CLINICALLY RETARDED?

>>715799923
Not rally, all he did was respond to some bullshit the guy was peddling

>>715800241
You don't understand. Even losing is a win.

>>715806350
Sorta, Ross himself said when he started the thing that it probably won't work or change anything, in essence SKG is an attempt by him to change the industry for the better, or at least have government have a closer look at it because shit companies do there is ridiculous

>be left wing
>argue against capitalism
>legions of Europeans support you
it's that simple

>>715806548
It stopped being capitalism and started being monetary oligarchy when a few companies can create a monopoly that controls 80% of what you even look at every day

>>715799923
facts, but SKGgots are going to fail hard and ruin vidya further. And us here at Start Killing Games are going to laugh!

>>715806491
Yes and, even if corpos WIN and CAN kill games it will be decided and the people will know foe a fact.

>>715805027
If believing this keeps you happy for the next 13 days, hey, more power to you. But you should probably start planning what your cope will be after that ;)
>>715805886
Based. I'll never get tired of rubbing this on the noses of corpo shills.

>>715806650
case in point
you don't even know what the word 'monopoly' means, modern gaming is no different than what the film industry has been like since the 1920s. actually no, there are far more publishers and game devs than there are Hollywood studios.

It's an entertainment product, not a life necessity. The funny thing is, getting this emotionally invested in what is functionally a toy is the pinnacle of bougie mentality.

>>715807052
Imagine actually defending the state of our world just to act smug on 4chan. Couldn't be me.

>>715804728
How dare you say something like that? It's closer to licking corporate assholes, really.

>>715798690 (OP)
not there yet

I still watch it sometimes when going back over his library

He did such a job of concisely laying out the issue, his positions on the matter and addressing all the obvious objections, and yet so many people just fling their strawmans right past it

>>715798690 (OP)
Why do I keep seeing this ugly inbred looking mother fucker every day and what does it have to do with video games?

>>715806806
Yes. He gave it his absolute best, and if he didn't win he would at least get some closure.

>>715807286
pirate faggotware and many of his faggot orbiters didn't even critique ross magnum opus video

>>715804713
Hahahahahaha

Middleware that does not confirm with legal requirements will not be used anymore. Those middleware companies then have the option to go out of business or comply with the law.
You know when car companies said that having safety standards would kill them, because that's just not how making cars work? That was retarded too and didn't work.

>>715803982
Probably true but a lot of it might also be from the part of the video where Ross was saying
>it sure would be nice if big names like Pewdiepie came out in support *wink*
>but I don't want to bother them or anything... *wink wink*
And then people did bring it to their favorite ecelebs

>>715806548
Leftists are the #1 corpo bootlickers these days for some reason. You need to update those talking points.

>law passes
>force publisher to keep [Shitty Live Service Game 1] alive
>publisher decides to make [Shitty Live Service Game 2]
>now publisher's new product not only has competition with other live service games, but its competing against itself in the market
this shit is never making it through a court lmao. any one that understands simple market forces can see this coming from a mile away

>>715807286
Most people who want to explain to you why he is wrong didn't even manage to read the first sentence of the mission statement. Which you can immediately tell by them thinking this is something that's only about single player games or only about live service games or only about games that have the letter Y in them.

>>715808113
Don't care, doing it to spite publishers.

>>715807409
He is about to become the new Debra Wilson and developers will be required to put him into all their games.

>>715807286
I also rewatched this recently.
His arguments are so strong that it really make any shitflinging in these thread pointless.
Ross already btfo anti SKG fags 6 years ago.

>>715808164
>doing it to spite publishers.
don't worry, people like you who make their malicious and bad faith attempts to weaponize the judicial system are why this is never passing

>>715808202
>Ross turns up every so often to look directly at the player and remind them that they own the game

>>715808113
>now publisher's new product not only has competition with other live service games, but its competing against itself in the market
If the 1st game still has such a humongous following that it's actual competition to the 2nd game, why not continue supporting the 1st game rather than killing it?

>>715808113
If you can't make a new product better than its predecessor, then there in no point in making a new product in the first place.
Killing the better product to force people to buy the new one is straight up planned obsolescence.

>>715808113
Bro you don't think devs had to effectively compete with their old games 20 years ago?

What a stupid position anyway 'Oh but we HAVE to be allowed to install remote kill switches in our cars/lawn mowers/whatever other product you can imagine, how else can we FORCE people to buy our new ones?'

>>715808202
The shape of his head is already low poly, saving on modelling budget.

>>715808515
because the first game is free (piracy + now easily accessible netcode sdk to replicate servers) and the new game is not. it's very simple. the market will gravitate to whatever is more accessible. you can't be this dumb anon.
