Games are a miserable little piles of files.
Ideally all files you need to play the game are given to you during the download, but publishers are just giving you some of the files and keeping some in a server they will shutdown.
Just give all the files.

Polish man found guilty of abducting seven women into a rickshaw and then sexually assaulting them. When confronted by the police, he initiated a chase in which he managed to shake the authorities, only to later be found dead with three gunshots to the back of the head.

So Steam is supposed to be available to all platforms it ever was and if Gabe refuses, he will have to pay 5 trillion per day to the EU?
Sounds good.

Steam is one dll away from completely freeing 99% of it's games.
People already made it even.
One update and steam works forever with no servers.

Ross wouldn't be the face of SKG if they were spending that kind of money, they’d hire some spineless pretty boy with a decent voice to spin doctor not a guy with a chest mane and sounds like he’s screaming into his mic on normal sentences

Nothing but why waste money on that when goys will keep using it anyway

>>716412386
>retard or retard call it

Anyone else sorta baffled by the hateful response this has gotten? I remember when City of Heroes went down and people were happily playing on private servers after the fact. Is it really that hard for modern games to put in place a function like that? Why doesn't Ross use strict examples such as this?

Don't design games with a ticking clock in order to exploit players and take away value they paid for.

>>716418638
If Ross complied a list of games that function online without official servers he’d probably have 20 years of games to shift through and the video would be 2 hours long

>>716418638
not really, the advocates for it, especially on 4chan are very obnoxious and cult like where you're not allowed to question anything or they start sperging and calling you jeet bootlickers or whatever, also the quite obnoxious and hostile statements like "this will kill live service games! great!" there are millions of people who enjoy live service games, why antagonise them by saying you hate them and want to shut their games down? no shit you'll get hateful responses for hateful behavior

>>716418638
He did use it as an example with many other games. He just used the Crew as his primary example because it was recent and because Ubisoft was begging for it.
He made a really massive list of unplayable games to serve as evidence here https://stopkillinggames.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_game_list

suffah indies

>>716412048 (OP)
>retard doesn't even know what it is about
must be a jeet

>>716418638
because few people actually stand to gain from this.
most players of live service games don't care whether they'll shut down. if they stop being popular they'll just move on to the next one anyway.
gamers who don't like live service games and miss the dedicated server era probably wouldn't play those games to begin with hence no wish to preserve them.
there are only a few reasons for an individual to support this:
>you want to stick it to the industry
>you believe this will set a precedent to regulate away other practices
>you think all video games are art worth preserving
>you're part of a tiny minority of people who both enjoys modern live service slop and likes replaying old games
either way the nasty reception of the first group comes from infringing on their territory asking for changes they don't care about, and the second group because it makes them look bad.

>>716412386

You can tell the Browns because the concept of media conservation is a foreign ideal to them. Of conserving anything is foreign and alien.
I have a book that is 400 years old a copy of John Milton's Paradise Lost, but somehow the idea of preserving games from being destroyed over a span of a couple of decades is preposterous.
We're not saying that it's the publisher and game dev who needs to preserve the games, simply leave them in a playable state and allow those who bought the games to preserve them if they so wish, that's it.

uh oh
it's common sense
yes
that's right
my mother scammed insurance and banks

>>716422303
The point was that non-P2P games can be just vulnerable. That services connected to the game and not the protocol caused those exploits.
>>716422319
That was the point. That P2P doesn't immediately mean that your game can be easily hacked. In Apex's case, the cause was likely the source engine. In WWII's case, it was MS's service
In both cases, these were KNOWN vulns that companies sat on and likely relied purely on obscurity instead of patching them. In other words, the current state of hacking is tied more to the engines and services rather than the network protocol. P2P = more hackers is a fallacy.
>>716422605
>hacker has full control and the full binary of the server
Why are you connecting to a hacker's server?

>>716422952

that's full on retarded claim.

there is a thing called host advantage. the hacker has full control of the server, gets all IPs of every client and can delay packages and do other fuckery.

>>716423104
As the dev, I don't own the server list. I don't have anything running other than a site to provide the binaries.
If you've connected to a rogue IP and let it send you packets of info to be ran in some software that has a critical vulnerability, that's on you.

I entered an agreement with the restaurant to get this meat for a one time charge. This agreement had no expiration. The animal can't go extinct either because it's nearly ephemeral; it's contents can be replicated indefinitely.

>That's why keeping servers updated and patched costs a fortune
What servers? I thought the clients were the servers in your dogshit understanding of multiplayer architecture?
The answer is, they can't "just inject new shit". Yes, they have some means of sending you information but that doesn't mean:
- the other clients can't validate it
- a vuln exists on clients that the host could exploit
- the packets sent aren't closely vetted by other systems
Further, maintenance costs are unrelated to this. Central servers for games like MMOs are notoriously more expensive to run and have required massive hardware to scale vertically or complex data management to scale horizontally. It's why you see so few indie MMOs but hundreds of small team based shooters.

>>716412048 (OP)

you can tell zoomies dominate this board because running your own servers even after devs gave up on the games, was actually default state of videogames.This is probably bait but there are shitters who unironically grew up with Steam and live service garbage.

Oh ok. Sure. Tell me, is SSM Ultimate unplayable with hackers? How about For Honor or Dark Souls? GTA Online has its fair share of hackers, feel free to use that one and show me how P2P was the sole cause of that.
The point is, you can't. While you might technically have an advantage, the current state of the market shows that it's completely viable to have a P2P that isn't rendered unplayable by hackers.

Security by obscurity is not an excuse. Even still, Microsoft would not be responsible if you computer was infected by connecting to the internet. Based on "only a moron would hook anything directly into public internet" it seems you agree and have retreated from your argument.
Good try tho, shill

>>716425659

>That's the whole point of an RCE

>>716413183
How so, rajesh?

>>716425835
>I am giving the host FULL access to my machine to run whatever code they want?
No but your client does and your client interacts with the host
Rces have happened in the past from p2p servers
The main problem isn't current active games. Its when they are given out and left abandoned for years for the hackers to pull apart and find the exploits

>>716425835
Dark Souls 1 didn’t have multiplayer for the longest time because of something like that

>>716425774
>Because those servers get security patches
As does every other game? A security patch implies there is a vulnerability.
Where is your source that all P2P are prohibitively more expensive than a centralized server due to "security patching" alone? Where's your claim that P2P games require more security patches to stay stable?
To add to this, the most recent stories for major hacking events in gaming both came from games with dedicated servers. See CoD WWII, TF2, and Apex

>>716412048 (OP)
The problem here is that IP laws need to be repealed entirely. SKG has identified a real problem, but has chosen the wrong solution.

They get paid to do so.

No it doesn't. Go ahead and try that right now with WarFrame. Send me `cat /etc/passwd` in a packet, pipe it to telnet, and tell me if you've pwnd me.
>Rces have happened in the past from p2p servers
And they've happened on dedicated servers too. Vulns are vulns. They're critical bugs that require someone to PATCH them out because someone found a way to buffer overflow or whatever (see: bypass measures taken by developers to protect clients).
>Its when they are given out and left abandoned for years for the hackers to pull apart and find the exploits
Like TF2 which was then fixed by the community yea? You know people can find vulns to patch them too, right?

Yea everyone that has ever connected to GTA Online has been irrevocably hacked and DDoSed into oblivion.

it had a rumor that people were spreading CP through sprays, which was not only fake, it was spread by a fearmongering tranny who admitted to sending nudes to a minor on discord, which he tried to justify as "body positivity shit". because of this fake rumor, Valve decided to disable sprays on their servers

If it's a single player game that required an internet connection and got shut down afterwards, then sure. In that case, IP laws are to blame. Without IP laws, all of these old games could easily be brought back online.

Yes they are. The reason that popular old games aren't brought back online is because the companies that hold the IP rights won't allow it to happen (if they're aware of it). If there were no IP laws (or current ones were at least altered) then this entire problem would go away.

Making games playable after they’re no longer supported is different than letting people develop their own take on an IP.

>>716428004
It's about disallowing companies from treating goods as services that they can remotely terminate.

>>716427783
Remember, the same people bitching about master card taking away their troon furry gooner games cheered it on when games were being taken away for not being diverse enough.

These lefty communists are utterly schizophrenic and insane. They have to worship the government because its their ultimate moral good, but when said government tramples on things they like, now its evil because they hold things they like as being the ultimate good more so over the government. So they are stuck in this psychotic loop of loving the government only to hate it then go back to loving it when a different situation arises.

Monopolies exist because of government regulation. In a free market, monopolies almost never form unless they're genuinely better than the competition and continue to be better (like Steam). Modern monopolies exist because government regulations have killed the ability for smaller companies to compete with the larger ones.

So you're saying that every single one of these games would have had an appropriate end of life plan if IP laws didn't exist: https://stopkillinggames.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_game_list
That's insane logic. Removing IP laws doesn't release server binaries, abstract away micro-services, or provide instruction on how to run a server locally using docker.
Removing IP laws could help fans develop patches for dead games without fear of legal issues but that's far from the only reason why every dead game isn't preserved by fans.

>>716429214

That's the problem. Then they don't. You can kill a game that has all of its IP in the public domain, retard.

Thank you for continuing to prove me correct, please, continue talking. It truly is amazing how every single one of you freaks that shills stop killing games is communist.

They often can't, again, due to IP laws.
>>716429358
Correct
>>716429371
Nope. In fact, many of the things that are commonly derided for being in our food today are due to government regulation. Why does Coca Cola use high fructose corn syrup instead of proper sugar? Because we subsidize the fuck out of the corn industry and have tariffs and limitations on sugar imports while having quotas and price controls on domestic sugar. gg

What's with libertarians going to bat for corporations all the time? Do they truly think they'd suddenly benefit of corporations were completely unshackled and not be the first ones sent to the mines to toil for their masters?

>>716429440

>They often can't, again, due to IP laws.
I created a game where 99% of the game is on the server. The client makes a few API calls and has a few assets for the menu; everything else is on my server.
Banishing IP laws can't help you if I choose not to release my server code when the game dies.

>>716420150

>Commies are having fag furry fantasies

>euro-/v/iggers actually believe SKG will amount to anything

Yeah sorry but it looks like you have never interacted with the EU before.
You are effectively living in a union where the right to initiate directives (that's your laws on EU level) lies with the commission (that's your government on EU level just in case you forgot) and practically nobody else.

There is a theoretical right of EU citizens to trigger initiatives, but
>a) it has impossibly high hurdles (SKG surprisingly took that hurdle, mostly because people could unite in their hatred of a single furfaggot) and
>b) citizen initiatives practically never get realized on a parliamentary level unless they are some oofy doofy lipservice bullshit that won't ever get taken seriously by anyone.

Don't believe me? Look up the EU citizen initiatives page. There's been like 6 succesful initiatives in what? Thirty years? Woah fuckin great! What a cool democratic union. I feel so empowered.

You gotta understand one thing:
The EU is essentially the economic arm of transatlanticists. It is voluntarily designed in a way that the two party system, bureaucratic elite can do whatever it wants (like creating the perfect framework for lawfare against unpleasant members and/or citizens) and you basically get nothing except for a couple bones to naw on every now and then.
Meanwhile they are building a whole industry on grants they hand out to their buddies.

And guess what: You ain't their buddies. That's why on the parliamentary level I see practically no chance for SKG.

It's gonna go in and and it's gonna get like 20 or 30% from parties that wanna be a pain in the ass for the ECR and push their own image and that's gonna be it.

Just a reality check.
Sorry.

I seriously want to understand why the left thinks the EU is this pristine example of a perfect government when they constantly fuck their own people over. With how much "americans" get brought up I think they are just jealous of a more free nation.

I'm pretty sure they deliberately said multiple times that they don't demand infinite support from the devs, just a way for players to play the game they bought. Be it some kind of offline mode, a way to host your own servers or anything else you can come up with. Hell, some gacha games already offer you an offline version after the game EoS'd where you can read the story or spend times with the characters you had. The dragon quest mmo has an entire offline version. Just where does this idea come from that the developers themselves have to continue support?

Still signed.

>>716431672
I have at least 350 million reasons to tell you why you're retarded to conflate "public servers" with communism somehow.

>>716432342
Most games that have one grain of salt of brain never permaban unless you do shit like using cheating software, even if you use the nigger word.
However is a simple question of files.
You should always have all the files needed to play the game on your computer, even if you have to self host.
If there are game files that are not on your computer, then it's a remote service, not a game.

So because the correct solution is hard, we should instead go with a retarded solution that will arguably make things worse? Companies CAN'T simply let games continue on forever, even if it's people privately hosting the servers, because 3rd party IP holders will often rape you over licensing fees or simply refuse to let you license out their content anymore.

If that were the case, why is this their response to the movement?
>Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable. In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

1. Getting things passed requires compromise in some capacity
2. IP law has been readily beaten into place where as this is vague and can't be swatted down with "see our previous ruling" immediately
3. Reducing the insane IP laws would only be step 1 and you'd still need what SKG is asking for in order to prevent a developer from intentionally self destructing a game.
>Companies CAN'T simply let games continue on forever, even if it's people privately hosting the servers, because 3rd party IP holders will often rape you over licensing fees or simply refuse to let you license out their content anymore.
1. No one is asking for it to go on forever. Read the 4th point on the FAQ: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/faq
2. What licensing fees? I bought the game for one which was included in the license.
3. This trend could easily be stopped if these license holders were told "hey you're entire client base can't use your product due to your IP restrictions"

>>716433192
>Fucking over the little guy
The little guy is already over the barrel. We're asking the only other guy that could be on our team to help. If they choose not to, at least we have our answer.
If your scenario is made true or if we do nothing, nothing changes. If your scenario is made false, we gain rights as consumers. It's not that fucking hard

>>716433272
Yea I was hoping more detail would be in there. Ross has stated in videos that he's gotten replies back from the EU and felt that this had relatively low odds.
He even mentioned that he would be happy with any ruling, regardless if it was in the favor of the movement or not. At least removing the ambiguity would make it clear that companies are allowed to do this to us.

>>716433442
>2. What licensing fees?
The ones that companies pay to people who make music, or car brands, or gun brands, or anything else in a game you can possibly think of that would have to be licensed out from a 3rd party. Many games have been shut down due to continuing issues with these licenses.

>brownoid zoomer doesn't know what the concept of "grandfathering" is

Steam doesn't work on XP anymore. If the game uses Steam dll to work, you can't run it. You would need to bypass it as if you were a filthy pirate, so at that point buying things doesn't make sense

I have CD's of the games that were made with XP in mind.

I personally like riling up indians. I hate their food, their accent, their smell, their culture, their breeding habits, etc.
If they are gonna shit up the place, I’m gonna make that 1.2 rupee/hour tiring and sad for them.

>>716438530
trying to maintain compatibility with 32 bit devices is an increasingly complex task.
you're complaining that the town hall wont accept your tax paperwork in the form of clay tablet.

>>716438554
>their food
Is actually pretty good. Certainly better than bong food.
Everything else about them is repulsive.

>>716438791
Better than bong food is like saying "it's better than poison". Not exactly a high bar to exceed. I still would rather eat raw rye bread than put any Inidan made or Indian handled foodstuff anywhere near my mouth.

>>716439423
you could try using an older version of steam that can be used on 32 bit devices.

>>716439552
>you could try
Or I could just try to not use Steam slop with its shitty online DRM and all my games will work.

Should've distributed a dedicated server package while you had the chance!

the steam dependency also works without an internet connection unless you havent connected once in forever. this is purely a you problem.

The smartest move is to use the corporations and governments in different situations to feed my ego and use them as my personal property.
They both serve different uses to me, so I will use them where I see fit.
>But what about muh poor developers

>But what about muh social good

I will use them the ways I see fit.

Boomers still needed to operate a company separate from their person, and still needed insurance, and they still needed to be licensed to get that insurance policy in order to do business. And they still needed to acquire permits to actually perform work.
The only legitimate difference here is the health insurance requirements and the absolute costs associated with all of that shit.

No, SKG is about drop kicking every Indian and SEA nigger into the sun.

>government mandates client-side backup migration must always be included with game releases
>devs now have to dedicate work hours to making sure every server-side update can be replicated on a client's machine on the inevitability that one update will be their last
>this extra work somehow won't cut into dev-time on gameplay or other features, and won't have a price-increase offloaded onto customers
You guys are gonna get exactly what you deserve if you actually achieve government-mandated development requirements.

>>716442158
Yeah, it's not like every competent software developer has an offline version of their software to test and develop before pushing to production.
OH
WAIT

>>716442352
Real men test in production.

>Just released: Movie 2!
>Leaving soon: Movie 1
>that'll be $15 a month+ads
This is actually worse than gaming.

>>716442453
It all makes sense now. Companies are forced to hire immigrants and women, instead of testing during production they test things after release instead.

>>716442830
That might actually explain a lot of things and the current state of the games industry.
Actually, the software industry in general.

How fucking hard is it to make it so the players PC just does whatever it is that their server needs to do in single player games with some always online requirement. Fucking most of them don't do anything other than validate you bought the game anyways. And if they don't want to be bothered with even selling the game anymore since they can't sell a game that doesn't work, why would they give a fuck if fans hosted their own server with a download. It all really seems like a simple "fuck you" for no reason in particular.

>>716443595
Impossible apparently.

Why does the industry fear Ross so much /v/? I'm starting to think he may become one of the most important people in gaming history at this point and he's not even working within the industry.

>>716442558
not really. this suscription is based on constantly changing catalog. that's what you're paying form
you're complaining about a restaurant not selling X food anymore. or an amusement park not having some game anymore.

when it comes to movies you need to look at shit like sony, amazon or Itunes. where you supposedly buy an specific movie and then gets retired from your account.

imagine you buy a DVD and the loicence gestapo comes into you your house and destroy the disc because they don't own the rights of the sountrack anymore.

Thankfully modern digital distribution makes this possible, whereas before with physical distribution it was not cost effective to do so. Once everything is connected and online only we will be able to successful defend private property rights very easily.

>>716444531
I get what you're saying. But Netflix feels very familiar to The Crew here. Like here, watch the original Happy Gilmore to regain interest in the NETFLIX ORIGINAL (shittier) Happy Gilmore, and then we'll remove the one we don't have have as much ownership of. They're trying to drive you to the second one and forget about the first because it will make them more money. Or more specifically, the sequel costs far less to keep on their platform than the original.

>STOP KILLING GAMES

>THATS FOR THE GUBBERMINT TO FIGURE OUT, DUH!

why are SKG shills so retarded?

>>716445127
I've using netflix since 2013 because of my family and I can count with one hand the amount of times the back to the future trilogy has been there. is always 1&2 or 2&3. what the fuck they are they thinking? they are retarded.
