Simply to protect games is very important you never know what kind of good game will emerge whenever it's going to be AAA or from indie dev it's important that you have at least some access to it.

Also to this is connected a right to repair initiative which is even more important since nobody wants to end up with a fucking car that turns off your engine when 2 years of period will end.

Not expecting low 70 IQ chimpanzee to understand this but it is how it is.

SKG is not about making sure people aren't scammed, that's why they excplicitly reject anything notion of legislating against subversive language that would result in consumers being informed in the decision they make. But ofc, if the averake SKG supporter actually knew what was being pushed, they wouldn't be mindless populist retards.

Retard
Also, as it was said at the beginning, consuming is literally how citizens today live, not to mention how you are not any different when it comes to consuming stuff so this point is double-retarded

Anyway that insane (how did this shit even was allowed to be sold??) fallout 76 license agreement seals the whole deal as extremely predatory anti-consumer industry-wide practices that must be brought to a halt asap.
Project guthenberg for video games idea also sounds interesting (however I'm still convinced that concord doesn't deserve to occupy even one single bit if hosted on such a project, absolute waste of space and it deserves no mention or preservation, but this is just my opinion), what I like the most is that it addressed different problems at once and it can be looked at from different angles from false advertisement to copyright abuse and forceful erasure of cultural heritage, meaning that it increases the likelihood that something gets actually at the end.
I think the pretty much unanimous support during the hearing speaks for itself. Also it's obviously a deliberate business practice, however the facts speak for itself: the majority of gamers would purchase 1-2 games a year regardless if they have literally tens of thousands of games available to them at any moment that were made in the last 20 or so years. From emulation to simply older games being sold in storefronts, the fact that an old game is not immediately killed it really won't push the needle to such a significant amount. Those who would want to play the new game will purchase the new game for whatever reason (friends playing it, interest, supporting devs to get more), while those who wouldn't have purchased anyway won't be really influenced by their old game being still available in that choice.

Total corposcum death, comply with regulations or get fined to hell

>>737113958
Kill more games. Kill them before they have a chance to come out. Kill them a month after they've been out. Kill them years after they've been out.
>>
>>737114703
I always buy at key sites at under 40€ if the game is top or under 20 if I'm interested but doesn't look too good.
Absolutely never pay 80€ for a game, no game is worth that much.

hopefully games won't be permanently shut down, if you bought a bunch of skins in an open world game ideally you should roam the open world and still have all your purchased stuff, not necessarily with working online but hosting your own server would also be great

The initiative doesn't restrict consumer choice in any capacity whatsoever and it doesn't aim to kill live service games and there have already been instances of GaaS like The Crew which seems to be the linchpin of the whole thing getting a post-shutdown patch. There's nothing wrong with someone liking their GaaS game, the whole point is that they should be able to play this GaaS at any point in time without some arbitrary decision from the publisher to restrict said access.

Then it's not a product, but a service, and you have no business demanding rights that come from it being a product, and have the obligation to obey all laws that come with it being a service.
But they don't want that, because it's a losing situation for them.

The Commission claims that the judgment in UsedSoft ( 24 ) supports the finding that the grant of a perpetual licence to use the software qualifies as a ‘sale’ under Directive 86/653. Similar to that judgment, here the customer acquires a permanent right to use the software in return for payment of a fee, and it makes no difference to the nature of the transaction whether the software is made available by download or a tangible medium, as reiterated in subsequent case-law.

Talk about this with people you meet in daily life, not just here on 4channel. These constant threads are a containment campaign meant to keep the broader population from become aware of this and siding with the initiative. They do it by spamming threads to antagonize and oversaturate you, so you don't keep the talk here instead of spreading it.
The poos will continue spamming these threads until we get the final answer from the commission in ~3 months.

Ubisoft is so fucking awful that not even Nintendo, one of the most ruthless companies in the industry, can be compared to them.
Mario Maker 1, for example, is still playable, even though it no longer has online support. Fifty years from now, if you still have the game card and a working Wii U, you’ll still be able to play it, even if there’s no longer any online content.
How petty do you have to be for your online game not to even have a "free roam" mode where people can drive freely through the streets?
Holy shit...

>Please explain the issue with making it a legal mandate for live service games to have an EoL plan that includes keeping the game playable for people who've already purchased the game or made purchases within it?

There are multiple issues. Chief among them, is the insisting on pretending that there is no difference between purchasing a game, and purchasing access to a live service, all while at the same time, actively rejecting suggestions for legistation that will assist people who're currently unable to understand this difference make more informed decisions when spending their money. Everything else is secondary to this, but SKG supporters really want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to this.

Another point:
For the creative that supplied access to the service, keeping the game playable, could impact their ability to monetize their work in the future, should they wish to supply the service once more.
Retiring from providing a service for a while, does not mean that you should have your rights to your intellectual property infringed upon.
Simply insisting that this isn't the case, is not an argument that will be taken serious in an eventual court of law. Which is why I hope that SKG supporters never elevate from this type of retort.

There is literally zero difference, the latter having an unspecified termination date is also part of the issue that SKG is working against. When you purchase vidya you are purchasing a liscense that doesn't expire it doesn't matter the whether its online only or not. This is literally in every games EULA

You aren't being made to give the game away for free, just ensure that people are able to continue using what they purchased. No property rights besides those of the consumer are being affected by this. And if the developer wants to have official service for the game return? They can fully do that why would adding offline functionality hamper this?

Government actions can be good or bad, just like those of corporations.
If the tourism industry is lobbying to keep niggas in jail because they're robbing and raping people on the streets, ruining business, then the corporation is on my side.
If the government is imposing harsher penalties on these same niggas because they're ruining people's lives, then the government is on my side.
The problem is when corporations and governments start being dominated by women and Jews (both real ones and goyim who think like Jews), and suddenly, for some mysterious reason, they're releasing criminal niggas onto the streets while going public to say that "white supremacists" are the greatest social risk right now, and that's why resources should be used to combat them or some shit.

Reminder that all these Internet control measures are really just the establishment trying to silence the chuds who spout "racist" and "misogynistic" truths online.

>The initiative doesn't restrict consumer choice in any capacity whatsoever
>Just le don't consooom is not an argument because there's literally nothing wrong with the concept of a live service game per se and the initiative doesn't even address it, because the main focus is consumer rights protections and responsible shutdown of the game
>>737118294
>purchasing a game, and purchasing access to a live service
The (false) advertisment for both is virtually the same.
Nowhere in the GaaS trailer or main advertisement material does it say "erm actually you revoke any and all rights to this produ- erm we meant service, therefore you will destroy all copies of this game in your posession without notice when we decide (arbitrarly) to shut it down, no refunds".
Your argument starts from the false premise thus the whole thing falls apart.
>more informed decisions
People made an informed decision, which is exclusively based on "wow this game is fun" regardless if it's a live service GAME (not product, as corpospeak would imply) or not, this is the only reason why people purchase and play video games in the first place.
>Everything else is secondary to this
You are obviously not familiar in any capacity with the material and reasoning behind the initiative, it doesn't matter how you perceieve consumer habits or what you think about GaaS games, the initiative is calling out specific predatory consumer-rights violations and it's actually the primary objective of the initiative.
>keeping the game playable
Keeping the game playable doesn't go beyond "it doesn't shit itself when you click Play".

Yeah I'll be honest, I've never gotten various ideologies that claim you should only focus on X thing to the exclusion of any other power brokers.
Like sure, the Communists have a point about how Capitalists and Corporations can be incredibly shitty, but either won't or can't admit that their empowerment of the state is gay as fuck, and vise versa for fags crying about the government doing anything being communism. Maybe they're all just the dumb supporters and the actual texts are more informative, but I doubt it, they'll probably just give increasingly dumb justifications about how it all really just ties back into being that one power in a society.

NTA. Giving a refund "would" be enough but it just makes no sense. It'd mean the publisher is so religiously committed to destroying their own product that they'd gladly lose money to make it happen.
How about let people play the damn game. It's genuinely cheaper than refunding them, and makes for a happier userbase.
