Jannies, why are you deleting threads that directly relate to videogames?

>>716065884 (OP)
KILL THE MOLD MAN KILL THESE THREADS SKG MUST FAIL AT ANY COSTS

It's over. Thor has won.
Ross's campaign to force developers to keep up servers forever, or convert all multiplayer games to singleplayer has failed.
He's been caught providing $63,000 of unpaid work to the campaign. This is fraudulent. The campaign will most likely be thrown out and Ross could face criminal charges.

we're going back to the good timeline yall

>>716066740
They did not, but european customers would like the product they've paid for not randomly being taken away from them
That is why the EU will force the publishers to amend the EULAs so that when a company decides to sunset a game they need to atleast give the customers the tools to keep the service running themselves
Apple bent the knee to the EU and these publishers will too

>EULA allows a company to terminate the service so what's the problem here?
In the EU service contracts are by legal definition for a set period, usually on the basis of monthly or yearly renewal.
And if the supplier terminates the service prematuraly, they are legally required to refund the last payment commensurate to the amount of time that was remaining on it at the time of termination. Contracts for digital content that do not define actual period, but leave it indefinite, are not service contracts.

Also - terms which have the object or effect of:
> making an agreement binding on the consumer whereas provision of services by the seller or supplier is subject to a condition whose realization depends on his own will alone;
> -- (Annex 1c; Directive 1993/13) https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:31993L0013

are to be considered as unfair terms of contract, which legally may not bind the consumer.
I.e. are unenforceable.

>>716067172

It is so hard for videogame publishers to understand that gamers would gladly sign this initiative and no funding is needed. Only visibility. The fuck ups of that WoW stramer and the drama gave the visibility needed. There were no ad campaigns. People me included made their own fliers and their own memes to promote the initiative. We literally made some of the fliers here together in threads on /v/.

>>716067343

that's a real desperation move lol
they're sweating

I don't get why private servers are such a big no no for these game companie. The vast majority of people will still buy the new game even if the old game works. Look at every sportsball game and every COD or Battlefield game. Even with complete dumpster fires like Civ VII the game still sold well even though every other Civ is still playable, although it failed to retain lots of players.
Is all this seething really just about not being able to ban people that say nigger from joining private servers?

>>716067272
The bot response is the same regardless.

>>716065884 (OP)
He's just really dumb and stupid, there's no point of listening to him.

How are you able to make such massive accusations ANONYMOUSLY? How are you not asked for your identification to attack an initiative of this scale?

I understand sending the police some anonymous tip, but what we have here is someone writing a fucking essay on how Ross is violating EU law with the movement, making up all kinds of shit about him to bury the truth

Why are there shills for these ecelebs? Die.

>>716066902
Probably upset Ross spends all this time for something productive rather than power tripping and issuing bans arbitrarily on a malaysian wallpaper board.

You niggers have a year to make up for

>>716067065
>Apple bent the knee to the EU and these publishers will too
this was unrelated to the sunsetting of a products lifespan and was about apple failing to notify customers of alternate payment systems other than the apple app store, which was actual wrongdoing on apple's part

>>716066740
In short they cant put this in the contract without allowing user to terminate the contract on his part, otherwise it is an unfair contract. Since the payment is upfront the way the user could theoretically terminate from his side is inconclusive

>>716067510
The simple answer is they cannot monetize community run servers and are deathly afraid of competing against their own products. How can you get people to buy new product and/or buy the battlepass if they have options?

Remember VHS killed the movie industry much like how SKG will kill the vidya industry.

>>716067108
Maybe it's should be on pol as well, but it's also the most vidya of any thread. No thread is more about video games.

>>716067536
I find it funny, isn't this sort of slander? I mean if your part of a movement like this I guess you're a public figure so maybe it's different rules?

>>716067510
Imagine being a game production company. There's a huge backlog of old games people already bought they could be playing. Now imagine you could pull the plug on all those old games, and all of them were sunset. All those old school gamers would have to buy <latest thing>. That's the dream world they want to create.

>>716067359
Its even more moronic if know that Ross adamantly denied any ideas of asking for donations to run the campaign
The corpo lobby and shills are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to try stopping it

>>716066620
This
Clinton-style suicides are too memed now, everyone knows what it means when someone working against (((them))) suddenly kills themselves, even with a 'i am not gonna kill myself' notice

>>716067510
Planned obsolescence for one thing. If they can kill their old games you will have to buy their new games instead. Then there is also just forcing the devs to have to plan for something they have been lazy about in the past. Probably plenty of other reason they don't like this.

Are gamers the most braindead cattle on the planet? You can trick them into signing anything as long as you tell them it will make their toys better.

>>716067510
>I don't get why private servers are such a big no no for these game companie.

more people playing the old game on private servers mean less people buying the next entry in the franchise
it was never a tech problem, it was always a money and greed problem. Also publishers are just retarded across the board

>>716067680
Thanks EA.

>>716066492
>Ross isn't even in the pic
Apply yourself.

>>716067719
Dude, videogames in the past came out of the box with LAN and dedicated servers.

>>716067654
Except the ones that actually talk about video games and not e-celeb drama

Hmmmm wonder who could be behind this?

>>716067608
I was talking about the USB-C charging port

>>716067608
They could fix this with notifying the users but instead they fixed it with android-style “trust this app” option when installing

>>716067642
>>716067680
But this doesn't make sense. Battlefield 4 was available and might even currently be available to play for $5. When the next new Battlefield game comes out will people be playing the old $5 Battlefield 4 or the new $90 Battlefield game?
This idea that people will just play old games is absurd.

>>716065884 (OP)
Ross is going too conspiracy mode on this. I'm almost certain it's that shitty "lawyer" of maldavius' that sent it.

>>716067314
That's because you're not our guy

>>716067618
it's not an unfair contract because you aren't being forced to sign it

>>716065884 (OP)
oh they're fucking terrified, lets keep pushing

>>716067510
Remember when they pushed really hard for steaming services and always online functionality? They still want that, they just realised the backlash would be too much and switched to boiling the frog with live service games. They want to force people into a gaming ecosystem they have complete control over, and therefore can monetise to the maximal degree.

Why? Shareholder Primacy.

Anon, do you know what GREED is? How many billionaires say "YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY!"
Not as many as you think.

>>716067879
Yea and there is a reason why they stopped doing that. Its so they can control the matchmaking, and all the other aspects of the servers so you get the battle pass and buy the micro transactions. There is nothing stopping them from putting private servers in the game but a lot of games don't have those anymore.

>>716067510
Private servers means you cant directly ban wrong think on every server or even god forbid players could mod it to play in the different way people want it to
We joke but yes the lobby really pulled the "Um think about the unsafe gaming practices that could soil the brand, sweety" card on the last time they made a message. Not every company is like Valve who doesnt give a shit if your private tf2 server has al quaeda terrorist demo addons

>it's not an unfair contract because you aren't being forced to sign it
Not how it works in the EU.

>>716067660
Well, he's not part of the actual initiative "Stop Destroying Videogames", his name isn't anywhere in the legal documents, he isn't even a EU citizen. The "Stop Killing Games" is not the official name of the initiative, it's a non-profit movement to promote the real thing. He acts as a volunteer and start it by finding all the right people to make the official initiative, and those people are the ones who do all the legal work, he merely spreads awareness.

>>716067920
We need to find out who sent this. Seriously. If this is a videogame publishers they are done. The damage this will expose them too is nothing compared to the cost of paying a dev 1 day salary to remove always online DRM from slop. Seriously if we reveal that it was Ubisoft or EA who did this they are DONE.

>>716068269
You need to quantify that and compare it against Ross's income prior to the campaign to show that he received a financial benefit compared to his normative work.
In short you need to know how much Ross was making before SKG while running game dungeon on ad money for a financial year, then compare that against how much he made during the SKG campaign. If he benefited from ad money, more than his ordinary working year then there is an argument to be made but you need to make and prove that, Ross does not.

Read principle 7. Or let me just cite the relevant passage for you:
> Consumers that are willing to spend excessive amounts of money on and in a video game, so called ‘whales’,
may be considered vulnerable since they are likely to struggle with impulse control or gambling disorders.
Consequently, video games that base their business model on targeting ‘whales’ are likely to target a
vulnerable group of consumers. Therefore, the fairness of their commercial practices is to be assessed
according to a stricter threshold.

The EU is *already* gunning to have lootboxes and all exploitative practices labeled as distorting economic behavior, and thus classified as unfair commercial practices under the 2005/29 Directive.

They desperately want to control the library of games any one person has access to. If you can be forced into a market where every game is live service and can be shut down at any time, then you have no choice but to consistently buy new games to play, it's the ultimate in monetisation, complete capture of the consumer market for games.

They were content to play the waiting game. Old games are harder to run on newer hardware as time passes. This throws a wrench into the whole thing.

>"i'm again remimed of how stupid this whole thing is when you consider how comparitively low cost an end of life plan is''
does ross not actually understand why companies have been avoiding having end of life plans? it's not because releasing the server code would cost money, it's because people would simply hold off on playing the game until the server code is released because they can just get it for free. if the initiative succeeds, the industry might just stop making live service game at all, since it will cease to be a good deterant to piracy.

It wasn't "server code". You don't get server code if you can run Counter Strike Dedicated Server.exe

Oh and WoW sure as fuck stopped having players after 2011-ish when private servers started getting good enough to be playable. The game became absolutely barren with only 1000 players max as everyone hosted their own servers for their friends and robbed Blizzard of their money.

Enforcing it honestly. EU legislations are full of these holes where something is illegal but nothing is done(or can be done) about it. E.g. one of the most retarded laws in my country is “prohibition of smoking in public spaces”. Not that the idea is bad, but there is no actual legal definition for “public spaces” and as such you cant be really fined. Another good one is that now everyone under 16 is required to wear a helmet to drive an electric scooter, but everyone under 17 cannot be fined and fine expiration date is 1 year. Same here, the contract is illegal and technically void, but neither steam nor ubishit launcher will refund you the crew 1 and to get them to do so you’ll probably need to waste hundreds of thousands on legal actions before you get your 100 bux back. There were a case a year or two ago where someone forced a refund after the ban but as far as I remember it was some whale that poured thousands of euro into the game.
>sounds like a french govt problem
>I don't buy ubishit and neither should anybody else. problem solved
The problem is that voting with your wallet is supposed to be a market controling behaviour that doesn’t control the market. You dont purchase ubishit, I dont purchase ubishit, but some people do and they actively beg for gibs from the government if money they earn is not enough, so their shitty practices stay in the market. Everyone else sees this and asks themselves “why dont we do the same shit”, so in the end you get a free market full of trash instead of quality products.

>uh i didn't realize they could shut down the servers some day
who are you kidding

Why are the capitalists clinging onto this so hard?
The games industry is in the worst state its been in a long time. AAA games are dying. No ones gonna be "the next Fortnite".

A large chunk of this thread is about Ross. I agree that SKG is still something that should be discussed, but it's hard to ignore the eceleb shit when it's damn near the focal point on here.

They cannot afford themselves to set a precedent, to be outed as abusive, to give a single inch, to leave a stain in their history that could legally undermine them and trash down their empire of hustles.
Have no doubt, that this is going to escalate hard, we're treading uncharted territory and these "people" are desperate to keep the upper hand

>>716070391
they hate things that cost them money

>>716070241
yes but nothing in the initiative forces sharing server code
it asks for something- anything, that makes the game playable, sharing code is literally the last resort option or if the guys making the game are generous and able to do so
How many games do you think have source code releases? It took 2 decades for EA to let go of C&C's source code. iD Software was ahead of the curve and had Carmack release both Quake and Doom's source code a few years after the fact. But not everybody does that or needs to do that.
Point is >>716070242
Even if a game can have hosted servers BEFORE the end of life, they will still be playable. You could play WoW Cataclysm private servers during Cataclysm's lifespan yet the game retained a sizable playerbase that didn't translate into Pserver players.

Not really. This is only possible beacause there enough autists that want to play their old games they paid money for. It is not one autist. It's at least 1.4 million European atists and an unknown number of international autists who provide support in spirit since they can't sign the initiative.

>>716070015
its insane how you spout garbage so confidently about stuff you literally have no clue about, read what skg is about or shut up

I just want to remind you guys that it only took a thousand signatures from activists to convince credit card companies to crackdown on porn games.

Even if you subtract the potentially botted signatures from SKG's petition, that would still leave us with over 600,000 genuine individuals voicing their support for what is essentially the most ambitious attempt to protect consumers from massive multi billion dollar companies from taking your property away.

>>716070015
>why companies have been avoiding having end of life plans?
because they want their games to be treated as both goods and services when ever it suits them. end of life plans would collapse the wave function and they would end up being one or the other and then they would have to deal with the detrimental effects of it instead of just cherrypicking benefits of both while evading the negative. basic game publisher quantum mechanics

>why do companies ever use any form of drm at all?
So they can create an ecosystem of planned obsolescence for videogames. If you can kill previous games you can have people play your low effort cashgrab AI slop game. The amount of time and work that goes into games like 2077 and BG3 is not something that videogame publishers want. They want cheap AI slop(fast and cheap) or DEI slop (they get DEI funding).

Your spam and those succumbed are common wrong that seeks to spread without merit.

Nothing good to pass on.
You want attention.
Not to make heaven.

What sees and opposes is right. Avoiding and forgetting is fair, but you cowards try to claim memory. The dismissal of wrong made common makes memory a problem, less memorised as not to become wrong.

You should be slaughtered. Hatefully chopped to solidify position against you. Seen elsewhere getting the same. Seen for what you do. What reduction done by you. Your total lack of regard for others. Their betterment expendable to achieve influence.

Mods love your shit. Else doesn't last long. Together in wanting others small. Managed into mediocre.

Nothing of you produces good, none of it is a part of good. To good all you are is more attack. Diversion from being decent. Temptation to orient wrong. Any connection with you detour or death. Better and good corrupted with any inclusion of you, even if defeated. Better not made while solving you.

You appear confused about something. Not once in history had a company acted because a thousand nobodies signed some sort of an irrelevant change.org petition. The Credit Card companies moved, because whoever was funding that activist group, or was one of its members, held real power. It is why when they acted, their demands were instantly met, whereas regular people in the EU need to wait a year and gather a million signatures. These two are not the same.

games have had anti-piracy measures since well before live service games were a thing. it isn't just about planned obsolence, and even if it were, my point that ross doesn't seem to understand why publishers refrain implementing end of life plans would still stand, as in that case the actual cost of the end of life plan itself is not a factor. he seems to think they're killing games PURELY to spare themselves the cost of implementing an end of life plan, which is obviously not the case.

That's because he's a rational man that thinks about it rationally. He thinks if only they could be reached and be made to listen and clearly understand the issue, they could be negotiated with and a mutually beneficial agreement can be reached where both sides are satisfied and walk away richer and more prosperous. Even when having launched the EU initiative to make them comply, he still believes in it. We of course, know better than that.

The issue is that people are being misled into thinking they're buying the rickshaw itself when in fact they're only buying a ticket (that also doesn't even define when the ticket expires). Ross could be easily defeated if companies did more to clarify the situation, but they're too afraid they'd lose sales once people realize they can only buy a ticket with an unknown expiration and not the rickshaw.

>why do you eat fruits with worms
I like eating fruits that were not treated with pecticides. Sometimes the worms are really small so by the time i notice that there was a worm in the pear i've already eaten the par which the worm has borroes in. They are no poisonous. They are just tiny worms that feed on fruit.
