Stop Killing Games (EU edition) - Moldman vs. Publishers
Imagine pouring that much time and money into an activist campaign, getting so emotionally invested that you erupt in fits of rage across the internet, all because you believe it is some fundamental right to keep playing The Crew, Concord, or Anthem.

This whole debacle is just this but exchange "leftist" with regulators and video game devs and publishers.
>you're demanding companies to pay for upkeep of servers with zero players
No, it's just demanding the same tools that made every pre 2010 video game playable forever to be provided when support ceases
>you want to make money by infringing on copyright and IP laws.
Nobody is asking for it to be made legal to earn money from dead video games
>this will make live service and multiplayer only games less desirable by the industry.
That the point.
This entire debacle is about the video game industry wanting to use FOMO to get you to play their games and shutting down old games so they have to buy next product, but refusing to admit it and instead everyone pretending to be retarded about the topic
Imagine you go to a fancy furniture store and drop $5,000 cash on a beautiful, custom-built wooden dining table. You haul it home, set it up, and start using it for family dinners. It's clearly yours now — you paid full price, took possession, it's sitting in your house.
But buried in the 47-page "purchase agreement" (that you clicked "I Agree" on at checkout) is this clause: "Buyer acknowledges that this is a licensed table experience. The manufacturer retains perpetual rights to the design, materials, and functionality. In the event the manufacturer discontinues the 'Table Live Service,' or if you violate any terms (including but not limited to 'unauthorized modifications' like putting a tablecloth on it they don't approve), representatives of the company may enter your property at any time, with or without notice, to reclaim, disable, or physically destroy the table and any related components."
Six months later, the company decides physical dining tables are old-fashioned and they're pivoting to subscriptions for "digital table experiences." They send a crew who kicks in your door (perfectly legal under the contract you agreed to), smashes your $5,000 table to pieces with sledgehammers in front of your family, and leaves the rubble. Cops show up? The company shows the contract. You're told "tough luck, you only bought a license to use the table, not the table itself."
You complain online and someone says: "Just make your own table lol" or "It's the company's IP, they can do what they want."
Thank god I already signed the Save Europe petition too.
Because if the "popular initiative" part of EU "democracy" leads to nowhere apart from public recognition, it might as well be about kicking out millions of brown people.
According to Ross, the basic gist of his take on this seems to be: "Is this the end of SKG?" "Good news: probably not. Bad news: this is just the start of a long, drawn out bureaucratic process where the presumptive answer still remains uncertain."
I want it recorded for all history that our civilisation died at the hands of lawyers waging an eternal war against creativity in the name of "intellectual property"
I only have two big issues with the latest EU news on SKG:
1. I hate them citing IP law as a blocker. Like why is it video game makers get protected because they make retarded deals with music industry moguls to license a song for say five years and then after five years, the only way to protect the music IP is to destroy the entire game. Or because some third party library has a clause that its only valid for 3 years so whoops! No more game!
2. This news might make somebody very smug. I’m afraid of a ferret or two being turned inside out because of it.

Way to intentionally misunderstand the point of the initiative you dumb niggerfaggot. It doesn't matter how shit the games are. You should have a right to fucking play them in perpetuity.
I seem to recall the main point game companies made was 'if people can self-host discontinued games then online extremists would self host and be racist'
That tactic will probably continue to win out in the EU regardless of what avenue Ross takes
