"You will own nothing and be happy."It appears that they are implementing this policy slowly through the gaming industry to get us accustomed to getting "game passes" and subscriptions, they recently shut down Anthem's servers and now even hard copies of the game won't work anymore. I predict in 10 years the gaming industry will do away with hard copies and be strictly subscription based. How do we stop them from normalizing this and implementing this into society at large? In 50 years you will need a subscription to drive your car and live in your own home!
>>531461267don't play them
>>531461267If they actually liked money, they would've released a collection of old Battlefield games with dedicated servers since it actually usually costs them next to nothing and they're just fucking faggots making excuses for why they can't make good games anymore anyway
>>531461267The worst Battlefield game ever made. Didn't knew it was still around.
>>531461267Should have BURNED to DISC????(BluRay, I assume?)
>>531461267Stop paying for it goy
>>531461267A game nobody cares about, that nobody plays, and you can still play campaign if you already own it. Cry more.
Can you still (?) LAN party?
>>531461267This was still live?!?
>>531461267Nobody has played this garbage in years who the hell cares
>>531461267>keep calm
>>531461449Doesn't matter if you play or not, the point is that they are normalizing this in popular facet of society before they spread it in every facet of society.
>>531461267Zoomers are responsible for this. End them and sire a new generation that isn't retarded.>>531461804>jew
>>531461690>The worst Battlefield gameObjectively not even close.>flagNo wonder, I've never seen your piss/booger/blood flag say anything that wasn't atrocious.
Grow up, manchildGaming is for kids
>>531461267>In 50 years you will need a subscription to drive your car and live in your own home!that's called property tax and vehicle registration
>>531461919Come on batty boy, the flag is a cheap shot
this is only for consoles, it will still be up and working on PC
>>531462041Nah fuck them. LithuGAYnians are assholes.
>>531461267You mean in ten years. It will take less than ten more years to change the entire world into a subscription service without any ownership rights
>>531461671Truth is they shut down the servers because they want you to move on to the next game
>>531461267SKG looks like it's winning, but sadly stuff is going to be grandfathered in.
>>531461267did you just nooooooticed today ?everthing is pushing pay by service not buy the product like 10 years now.
>>531461267I only emulate games. Retroachievements is a game changer. Shame it's full of soi over there but the actual service itself is cool
>>531461267Oh my! Not my gaymes!
I will continue to only buy physical single player games if they aren't woke dogshit>hurr they'll be gone in 10 years!Then I will quit softly and enjoy playing older used games and my backlog
>>531462181The same cuckold faggots that cheer, clap and try gunt guard game company's all the time will cheer and clap for this.
>>531462403to add, tehre is a gap of original pirates and the current generation that don´t understnad the internetz.
>>531462259Yeah, but the new game's player retention is abysmal so that strategy clearly doesn't work anymore.
>>531461690>>531461804>>531461852t. Born after 2008, gen Alpha is literally destroying the gaming industry. Go play your Fort Nite and e celeb garbage you stupid children
>>531461882ThisSame thing with drm.Now we have grills that require an internet connection and mandatory software updates.Heated seat subscriptions on cars are also on disc dlc for cars.
>>531461267game is like 10 years old and Im pretty sure no plays it
>>531461882It's not really something you can implement everywhere. You can certainly try, but the thing is you subsidize the game industry with your blackrock funny money because it's totally insolvent, you can't just subsidize the whole planet forever. The Farming equivalent of Concord or Arc Raiders is "ten million people starve to death". Some things actually have to be produced and acquired.
>>531461267I'm a simple guy. I'd be happy no matter how many things I owned or didn't own. But I feel as though the people running things would be miserable no matter how much loot they squandered. They'd always trade it for a little more, and they'd always be miserable, chasing the next thing like a dog chasing a car. They have their reward.
>>531461267Meanwhile BF4 is still going strong.
It doesn't really need to be a plan. Financialization is just natural as profits are sought. Is it more profitable to get paid once for a product or to get paid multiple times for a product?
>>531461267>In 50 years you will need a subscription to drive your car and live in your own home!Horses are ready to have a comeback, bros
>>531461267Literally just jailbreak and pirate your shit, it's that simple.Control freaks like that are desperately flailing retards with no real power.
>>531462918who started that shit and why, i would call that a plan. if others adapt to te same shitty idiology than it´s a market movement. if ppl get placed to implement it it is a conspiracy.pick what suits best.
>>531461267>and live in your own home!That's called 'renting an apartment'.
>>531461267Imagine playing anything with internet connectivity lmaoVideo games died after 2008. Once “always online” became the norm, the industry was “””cooked””” as the zoomies say.
>>531461267Stop buying game consoles and use a PC instead. Consoles are meant to lock you in to a software platform owner.
>>531461267>In 50 years you will need a subscription to drive your car and live in your own home!You already have that. It's called state mandated insurance and taxes. In a more literal sense, those who lease cars or rent houses/apartments are already living/driving under a subscription model.
>>531461449Libertarian niggers fucked this country more than leftist
>>531462840It is pretty wild that BF4 of all releases is the one that got it right in the end.
This was the last good Battlefield game ever mad *sips white monster*
>>531464336Too easy to spawn camp.
>>531461267>How do we stop them from normalizing this and implementing this into society at large?You hope and pray the Stop Killing Games initiative talking to the EU right now, is going to get the EU to come down so hard on the videogame industry, tearing them a second, third AND fourth anus that the buck stops there and no-one will ever consider this type of shenanigans again, for videogame or otherwise.
>>531464381if you sucked sure. You weren't supposed to charge the flag you were supposed to survey the area around it first
>>531464336>not 1942You fucked up
>>531464490This took everything that 1942 did and made it better
>>531461449fpbp
>>531461267This is just for console fags. It'll still be up on PC. Been a few years since I played it but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Great weapon selection.
The same thing will happen with books.One day, the owner of the Tolkien estate will decide to sell it all.Someone like Blackrock will buy it.They'll claim that in the pile of papers they received that they found the original manuscript for LOTR.It has Frodo and Sam being gay lovers.They'll also claim they found a letter from publisher outright stating they would not publish the book with the gay romance.They'll claim that Tolkien's REAL ideas were prevented by a bigoted publishing industry.Then they'll announce that the real text will be included in all LOTR editions going forward.They'll also announce that they will be updating everyone's e-readers and phones with the new text in an attempt to eradicate the bigoted copy of LOTR from existing, and to save readers the mental anguish of being denied the opportunity to read about 2 hobbits fucking each other in the butt.You won't have a choice.Your e-book will be updated.There will be no going back.They can't update physical books.This is why they are important.
>>531461690Literally end yourself, zoomer.
>>531461267
>>531463072That's like calling layoffs a plan. Sure someone did the first set, and it became popular practice, but someone was going to invent layoffs even if that first person hadn't, because the idea proceeds naturally from the goal of the corporation and the conditions under which the corporation exists.
>>531461267I'm still mad about these (((EA))) kikes shutting down origin and gimping the stupid "EA app" on purpose on windows 7. It worked fine before too, only after they shut down origin did the app stop working on w7. 100% on purpose.I can't even access the games i paid for anymore now. This should be illegal. The jews are our misfortune
>>531461804Suck a dick, Zoomie.
>>531466386sure it´s all natural™your so called goal of the corporation™ isn´t at all manufactured
>>531466098Given than AI will soon have the ability to remake IPs to remove the utter faggotry that the left has jammed into them, I'm not worried about some absolute fucking retard claiming they changed the cannon of a piece of fiction that has existed in the public for decades.
wrong board
>>531461449for some reason gaymers can't do this though
Kinda like valve shutting down CS:GO. I paid for GO I want GO not Cs2. Cs2 is a shit show that will never be as good as GO.
Speak for yourself the gaming industry is imploding. All those live service games are flops and all the feminist games with female protagonist flop as well. It's over.
I pirate all my fucking games
Doesn't this make the games abandonware and so we can download them freely?
>>531461267You dont buy their product and instead buy the ones who dont follow this policy, or you play old games
>>531461267God, you faggot zoomers will whine about anything and nothing. No wonder you're all virgins.
>>531461267>an underperforming game from 10 years ago that was inexplicably still hosting servers online for the like 15 people who play it You’re not even really wrong about your point it’s just stupid to use this as your proof, I’m more surprised to learn this game was still playable online than I am to hear it shutting down
>>531461267>How do we stop them from normalizing this and implementing this into society at large?Stop buying new systems, nonceThey tried doing this with music production software and the company almost went out of business
>>531464559>better>adds niggerslmfao
>>531461804Nigger leaf can't fathom hypotheticals and the precedent set
>>531461267I genuinely believe that the bug burger, won’t own anything etc rhetoric is all part of a plan to blame literally everything on our individual nation states political classes and it is a total psyop.
>>531467847ok, nice belief, can you elaborate why `>nation states political classes and it is a total psyop.you seem to be defending them, why ?
>>531461267There are many games released before 2010. Play those.
>>531461267>"You will own nothing"my 118 terabytes of storage space says otherwise
>>531461267Enough about battlefield Let's talk about Battlefront>star wars before it became completely POZZED >back when lucasarts could produce something fun >class based third person shooter with no customization >pick a class get at it >conquering the galaxy with your friends >playing as jedi/heros>playing with heros off because you're a Giga Chad that don't need that shit>space battles I'm going to plug in my xbox360 and play right now. Modern games suck dick infested with aids.
>>531461267Boo woo you can't play your shitty multiplayer slop anymore.
gaymers complaining?! >>531461892respect.
>>531461690Excuse me? Hardline was a fucking incredible game. Story was good in some places, not so in others... but the online was absolute fun.
>>531461690I've been playing Battlefield since BF1942. Hardline is not bad at all. It just should have been an add-on to BF4.
>>531461267>physical gamesis even nintendo doing this anymore? I went to walmart the other day and the game sections was a dusty little corner with a handful of sports games and like hogwarts legacy and couple big titles across all systems.
>>531461267Nothing funnier than a manchild squealing as their toys get taken away
>>531469040they put download codes in the switch 2 game boxes. Gaben led to all of this with steam
>>531461267>servers for a shitty EA game being shut down 10 years too late is tyrannyTerrible example even if i agree with what you said
>>531461671They think if they remove games you'll buy new ones
>>531461267>furiously downloading terabytes of offline gamesnot my problem
>>531461267>Nooo you have to keep paying for servers for the 3 people who play it
>>531461267What are there so many video game threads on /pol/ lately? Are the kids over on /v/ kicking more threads over here or something? Or are /v/tards getting banned and bringing their retardation over here?
>>531461449This is literally the only legitimate and valid answer. If you retards continue to purchase and support these games "because someone else will even if I don't", you will continue feeding this big hungry beast. Some other subhuman chimp purchasing these games is not justification for you to simply move along and financially support these practices. These developers and publishers are extremely massive beasts, and require an extremely massive diet to stay alive. Every financial calorie you add to this diet extends the problem that much further. If you truly want this to be gone forever, you simply have to not purchase their games, not support their creation, not engage with them in terms of media, and reduce the space wherein their practices are considered tolerable or acceptable. If your favorite franchise starts doing this shit, it's a shame, but you will have to simply refrain from supporting it and move on. ANY game that does not have a robust offline singleplayer experience is a game that is not worth purchasing in any capacity, and you are a fool to believe or assert otherwise.
>>531470557new/pol/cancer is just a bunch of opportunists that don´t know what´they just bumped into.welcome, you´re here forever.
>>531461267I am not interested in video gaming at all anymore but back in the day all you needed was a WON account and a computer. You could just fire up the game and host a server locally. High speed connections were rare back then. My dad had a T1 LAN connection it was 1mbps up and down so I could host small halflife and counterstrike servers myself even from the old computers of the era, if you had a decent graphics card to offload much of the CPU power. Now this shit. It's crazy. In some games you can't even make your own server. It's too locked down. Too complicated. But for me video games just feel like a simulated version of real life
>>531461690
>>531470557I agree to an extent however I only play multi-player games. Ive played dota and dota 2 since they came out, the franchise will eventually move to something else but some of us want to play things for the purpose of competition, an immersive experience does nothing for me. I could care less if it was just boxes on a screen with lines moving between them as long as im able to violate some other internet niggers play time with my own intent.
>>531461267Wonder if 1943 servers are still up, used to play it a lot on 360.Iwo Jima my beloved...
>>531461267You cant expect them to keep multiplayer servers online forever for games that are over 10 years old and no one plays anymore. This is literally just an issue with old online multiplayer games in general.
Someone needs to create a website with a necrology of all online games, to better grasp the impact of these shutdowns.>>531461944This phenomene might soon happen with your very mature adult activities, you know...
>>531461267Play Witchfire. Made by 3 of the people who made the original Painkiller. Absolutely no niggers in game.
>>531471923>Wonder if 1943 servers are still up, used to play it a lot on 360On PC everyone would fight for the planes (within the team). So if you somehow managed to grab one of the planes there was an 80% chance one of the team mates would shoot you down with a rocket out of spite for not getting a plane. So the whole plane area was a frag fest LMAO good times
>>531461267Literally the worst battlefield game made. It’s not even close.. nothing will be lost.
>>531461267>I NEED PEOPLE TO PLAY BROOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! WITHOUT MY ONLINE FRIENDS IM NOTHING! NOTHING!Multiplayer fags btfo
>>531461804Yeah as long as the campaign works I'm okay with it desu. Be nice if you could at least play a multiplayer match even if you are by yourself just for historical reasons. Be even nicer if they just added lan/private server support when they sunset a game like this.
If you're still playing shit games from shit companies at this point, I'm convinced you're a retard that deserves the suffering you experience. The gaming scene has never been better, and it's definitely not because of anything AAA studios are doing.
