The free market lost today.Fuck all of you, enjoy the EU's hand up your ass.
yeah, uh huh*hides thread*
I don't see how this is my problem
>>731547896it only has just been verified? jesus fucking christ why is the EU so goddamn slow?
>>731547896If free market is about allowing the destruction of my property whenever the manufacturer so decides I don't want free market.

Bharat_Nation thread
Did you know Google's reverse image search was crippled in order to comply with EU mandates? Europeans are the reason why you will never easily find the source for any image again.
Why are Americans so addicted to getting raped in the ass by corporations?Reminder it's been a long time since the EU decided it's fully legal to resell used licences for premium software. Does that upset you too?
>>731547896this but unironically, the government is going to make things worse.
>>731547940He's so cool...
>>731548052Just use yandex,Also was it the EU that completely fucked up youtube search? Nope just google doing it to push shorts. Realistically people could drive car bombs into google HQ and I wouldn't give a shit fuck that company.
>>731547976Imagine a typical slow-ass government bureaucracy that can barely get things done. Now imagine 30 of them trying to cooperate working on the same thing at once. Then imagine one additional huge super-bureaucracy layered on top of that.
every company has their hand up my ass already, now I'm just telling them to have a few hands shoved up theirs. idk it feels like talking to actual children/shills when talking about this because they think governments aren't already hundreds of years deep into corporate shiniggery and the only reason this hasn't happened already is because you can pay off most crimes when they're not actually illegal yet.
>>731548213Yandax, Baidu, and almost every other option is complete dogshit.
>>731547896>European Commission review:>"Some nerds want us to force developers to keep their "Marios" running forever or something">"Lmao nah. Let's go for lunch."It'll be the same as the "discussion" for it in the UK parliament. The same as when people petitioned for changes to the Online Safety Act too.
>>731548060Americans are the raped. A whole country full of volunteers to lick Israel's anus clean, not a single spine among any American citizen, they are born to be humiliated and abused and raped and forgotten.
>>731548052Is that really the reason it's so shit now? I just assumed it was Google being incompetent and "improving" a good thing with AI nonsense or something.
>>731548213No that's because google is run by indian "vibe coders" with fake degrees now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkMe9MxxZiII voted on it before that video even came out but I didnt expect it to succeed. They got what 400k votes in the first 8 month or so and entirety of southern europe didnt seem to give 2 shits about it.
>>731548591Sar I need you to please do the needful
Free market should theoretically result in the best product.We can see that isn't happening when companies either invest in each other or target normalfags that complain about shit but still consume shit.
>>731548213Yandex somehow became worse than jewgle's reverse search. shame since they were really good a few years ago.
>>731548649>Free market should theoretically result in the best product.No it shouldn't, even in theory.To think that free markets would result in good outcomes means believing that the majority of people are rational, discerning actors who know what's best for themselves, but there's no evidence to support this idea.
>>731547896the free market in question:
>>731548591The current day strawman is to blame for something which happened a decade ago?
>>731547896The EU is good, you're a retard. Mostly everything the EU has done has been good so far.
>>731548052There were no EU mandates, google just liked the shiny new google lens better and killed image search for it
>>731548738What? The indians didn't go away, they're still in charge of google and its quality has consistently declined ever since.Indians didn't "happen" ten years ago, they're a scourge on silicon valley to this day and it's only getting worse.
>>731548045question out of curiosity, was his twitter really created at india at some point?
>>731548398You're confusing the UK which is a dictatorship that doesn't give about its slaves with the EU which cares about their people and is trying to do good things to improve their lives. They will rape companies like yours that try to force always online single player game that you will shut down the moment you want to force gamers to buy the new version for $99.
>>731548716Isn't that like 90% of political systems other than Monarchism (Which has the assumption that the leader ordained is a rational actor) and anarcho-primitavism?
>>731548797Yass I love when they force countries to have minimum immigration quotas!
>>731548870Nah he's a pole or something hence why he's a anti-woke chad. He probably fap to cunny too which is legal in both poland and EU as a whole. (as long as it's not realistic)
>>731548852Were they "vibe coding" 10 years ago?
>>731548910Quotas are made so Italy and Germany don't get all the shitty immigrants. It's pushed by countries that get fucked by migrants.
>>731548620Eceleb drama ironically saved the moment.
>>731548876>the EU which cares about their people and is trying to do good things to improve their livesLol>They will rape companies like yours>youOh so you're a schizo who thinks everyone else is a corpo insider out to get them.
>>731548915>You can draw the Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) if the Ministry of Truth does not deem it to be "too realistic", whatever that meanslol
>>731548881I mean it's really just our modern brand of deracinated liberal democracies that's based on this ideal.Even the founding fathers of America believed in applying strict standards to who is actually able to participate in the political process.
>>731549032Germans have drawn Aisha naked on krautschan.

>>731548213>2019 Yandex>Put closeup screenshot of a 480p frame from a hentai>50 links to that same video and other ones featuring hentai girls who look vaguely similar>2026 Yandex>Put CG from a popular well known H game>"Urrrrrrhhhhhh, you wanted bikini photos?? Here Chainsaw Man ai Reze hehe"
>>731547896Concordbros were robbed
>>731547896Can't wait till EU parliament discard it in 2028.
>>731548964How about just not taking any of them in? There is literally no reason to take in a single rapefugee, except, oh wait!The ECHR forces europeans in general to take in infinite brownoids and makes mass-deportations effectively illegal, thank you EU!
>>731549096I just tried an image from loli from a DMM game and yandex got it right right away.
>>731548915>He probably fap>probablywhy are you ashamed to own up to Bharat_Nation bhai?
>>731549134EU originally didn't want to take them they started taking them in after there were mass deaths in boats.
>>731547976They have to verify every signature individually, millions is a lot
>>731549164>implying it's a bad thing that he fap to itUs EU chad have free speech unlike US that ban porn and will jail you over anime pics.
>people actually mad companies with live service games will be forced to give us private servers on closureIf I give them money at any point, I deserve a private server on closure. It's a boot for corporations so it's okay and if you disagree you're a contrarian turbo cuck, like I don't even accept that a real person with brain cells could disagree. Imagine hating yourself like that or putting owning the libs over your own agency for shit like this because its technically anti-free market when it's already a massive can of worms over whether we even have one at all anyway. Fucking unbelievable. 100% bots inciting psychosis in the feebleminded.
EU doing something I dislike? I will make fun of them.EU doing something I like? I will support them.This is the mindset people should have to anything political.
>>731548052that's a lie, the first and worst time it was crippled was because it was detecting blacks as gorillas, they removed gorillas from search and that wasn't enough so they fucked it all
>>731549189The boats are literally only coming because of EU-funded NGOs in the first place.
>>731549270>EU-fundedYou belong in an asylum if you think they're anything but grifters who are barely veiled slavers.
>>731549065So huuuh American? Why aren't you responding? Too scared of your obscenity laws?
maybe I'll get an answer in this shill thread!>>731522564
>>731548652What happened? I noticed too. What's the alternative now?
>>731549270Israel and US funded NGOs
>>731549096I regularly use yandex to find obscure doujins posted on xitter with the (1/7) SFW format that doesn't have the name of it in the replies just some shortened link that gets caught by webguard and it works every time.
>>731549318You're ascribing motivations and intent, which has nothing to do with my posts.All I've stated is that the EU, and some of its major member states like Germany, provide significant funding towards NGOs that facilitate boat migration into Europe, which is true.
>>731548052>Did you know Google's reverse image search was crippled in order to comply with EU mandates?why are you lying you retarded shill?
Free market doesn't work, not by itself, when one or several companies get on top, they will start working on making sure that they stay there, this can take shape of a monololy where they suppress every up and coming competitor into bankrupcy through sheer force of the capital, see Standard Oil during the gilded age, or band together through backroom dealings to make sure they keep their share of the pie and all newcomers get shafted, see today's tech industry, and when they are on top they more often than not focus on killing off their competitors rather than satisfying the customer, so they will and do cut corners, as much as they can, because if the customer has no choice, he will biy anywaysGovernment acts, or should act, as a counterbalance to it by imposing regulations, in some places like EU it works, in China it sorta works but in a weird protectionism way that makes it so only countriside peasants are hurt, and US gave up on that and now yanks eat chlorine chicken
>>731548962No, there were tossing old White CEO salad so they could get a recruiting position.
>>731549270I really doubt RSF in Sudan and the like are funded by EU
>>731549365Depends, bureaucracy takes a long time before implementation. Could be written into law in 6 months or two years.
>>731549454That's true as well, but the EU is a significant contributor as well and like I said, created the legal framework that makes it impossible to remove most of these people once they arrive.They literally just need to throw away their passport and the ECHR makes it impossible to deport them, countries like Germany are full of people with denied asylum claims who can't be deported anyway for this reason.
>>731547896wavechads won bigly
>>731547896Good. If you charge for a product that has no reason to expire then it should always be available for me to use. I paid money for it, and thus I have a right to use it forever.
>>731547896>The free market lostUSA isn't a free market you retarded shill
>>731549510It's interesting that Ford's idea to kill competition was to price the cars just above manufacturing cost and paying workers a significant salary, still choking competition but in a way that benefits the economy and industry.Then the shareholders got uppity and hence Dodge V Ford.
>>731549642Shareholders really the devil, aren't they?A lot of corporate problems nowadays, unreasonable growths each quarter, which forces either mass layoffs, higher prices or cutting corners in qualify, seem to stem from their demand for rapid short-term profits
>>731549547NGOs provide the boats and "sea rescue" services that pick up many of the boats as soon as they leave their coasts, among many other nefarious activities like running ads in africa advertising european welfare benefits and such.

When you reach a vendor lock-in, you can begin to skimp on your expenses to reach higher profits. Who cares if customers are unhappy, they have no choice and you'll rake in the money anyway!

I look forward to the day the world puts Europeans into their own internet box. It's like a reverse Great Firewall. You'll have the dumb-downed, censored, inferior version of everything on the internet. Have fun with your retarded regulations in your retard corner.

>>731547896>Poland: 143826BRAWO DONALD!
>>731548052open wide, here comes the spoon
>>731547896The free market does not exist under current Noosphere regulation also known under the very manipulative moniker of "Intellectual Property", a term that implies that the companies own these concepts, rather than receiving arbitrary licenses from the government.Being protected by Noosphere regulation is a privilege and if a company can't ensure the functioning of the section of Noosphere that they are borrowing from humanity, then they should be forced to give up the protections that keep people from encroaching on it and maintaining it themselves.If they want to avoid this, then they can simply not publish their work or not create a requirement for unnecessary maintenance that they do not want to fulfill indefinitely.The current absolute state of copyright is the largest and most grotesque EU (or rather UK, since they're not in the EU anymore) hand up everyone's ass.
>>731549718They are, but it also sucks because that understands why they exist>I have an idea for a new product or service but don't have the capital for it.>I have capital and want to make your product a reality, all I ask in return is a certain % of kickbacks based on performance.But this got twisted hard into the modern stock market, where valuation doesn't even need to reflect the actual performance of a company, and said valuation itself can be manipulated to have these companies invest into each other (See: The investment cycle of the AI industry currently).

As the 1st 2nd gen blizzard employee I will veto the EU commissars. Its my duty
>>731549510In defense of the free market, this requires the power of government intervention to work, the problem is government intervention isn’t going away. Modern tech monopolism and general corporate oligarchy is heavily dependant on state-enforced IP protections. Standard Oil, in its time, was reliant on the railroads which were built with enormous public subsidy and required state intervention to ensure continuous land access.The state is a weapon. Capitalists wield it against us and we should not be afraid of turning it back on them if we have the opportunity, but it’s dangerous to treat the state like a solution to capitalism when it is the primary tool by which it persists.
>>731550373One thing I've wondered about stocks as a way to fund a venture, doesn't capital only move to the company during IPO? Isn't the stock market essentially a second-hand market where the value is no longer relevant to the company directly? How does a company profit from higher stock prices after IPO?
>>73155025890% of kids brussels are immigrants, I'm not even exaggerating look it up.If the EU gets its way then there won't be a single White majority nation left in europe.

>>731550615What is he even up to these days? Maldavius Figtree thing got his panties in a twist.>>731550626The secret is buying the stocks back to inflate the valuation and then selling it back to stockholders when it increases. Nvidia has done this quite a bit, same with Apple.

>>731550627And that's a good thing. Payback for starting the world wars and creating communism.
>>731550661Physical storage of data is literally dying from age. Should you be compensated for losing what you once owned?
>>731549642The court fully affirmed that if Ford had made your argument (“I’m focused on long-term growth, keeping costs low and wages high helps me maximize sales maintain customer loyalty and retain and develop talent”) it would have been fine, the issue is he didn’t, he literally said “I’m fine with losing (other people’s) money, this is good for society”. You can’t incorporate as a profit-seeking entity and take investment money on that premise and then become a functional charity while laughing at your investors.I mean, you can, and it should be allowed, and it’s funny as hell. But shareholder primacy does not mean you have a legal obligation to burn your company’s future for gains this quarter.
>>731547896It's not gonna go through as is, instead they'll just determine it'd be far too complex to write as an EU regulation due to the ever evolving nature of software and the various edge cases, and since it applies to digital goods sold across national and international borders it'll need a EU-wide regulatory agency to uphold and enforce it anyways so it's gonna become a part of some industry group composed of existing AAA publishers who'll either neuter it to the point of meaninglessness or they'll strictly enforce it to drive out smaller competition.
>>731549642That's not how he justified his plans, and his real goal was probably to deprive the Dodge Brothers of funds because they had a falling out.You fell for a meme.
>>731550626Companies can issue new shares, but yes essentially it’s a second hand market. The thing is executives are routinely paid in stock options so cratering stock price is cratering CEO paychecks.
>>731549718Making shareholders have no say over how a company is run would literally fix majority of negative side effects of capitalism. Since cost-cutting usually increases short-term profits at the price of long-term sustainability, its almost always beneficial for shareholders to start cannibalizing the company to increase profits (--> stock price) and jump ship once customer trust begins to wane. Having companies lead themselves would let them prioritize long-term sustainability. Sure there's the "but then shareholders cant invest in potentially floundering companies and turn them around", but seeing how shareholders misuse this power 99% of the time to enshitten and suppress wage growth, I feel it'd be a worthy tradeoff.
>>731548052>it's not Google's fault, it's those pesky Europeans!
>>731550786>>731550845Yeah, I know that's probably not the actual reasoning and it is smoke and mirrors of actual underhanded tactics to fuck over shareholders, but on the same token the consequences of those actions probably was better for the average person in the long run.
>>731547896>FreeYou certainly don't think that.Let me tell you what you think: You think your team should be in control of the market and only your team.
>>731548870no he's some kind of eastern euro, probably russian
>>731548408>implying the JewU is any different
>>731550780Data degrades at a much lower rate than the companies close their live services. I don't mind things progressively dying with natural degradation. I do mind when companies decide to flip a switch and kill a game I paid for be forever unplayable when they could make it accessible to every paying customer at low or no costs to themselves.
>>731547896Games are art, the EU is protecting games, fuck you.
>>731547896There are no freedom without it's consequences and rules. Now before you create gaas online only slop you have to prepare offline patch or not create that turd. It's simple as that. Troony gaming devs lost big time, normal devs won.
>>731550885The other thing as well is to stop tying CEO bonuses to quarterly valuations, because that encourages golden parachuting a company.
>>731550885Shareholders are the owners. It doesn’t make sense for them to “not have a say”. They can just fire the CEO if they don’t like what he’s doing. If the shareholders aren’t in charge, who is in charge?
>>731549164>>731548045Can you post a screenshot showing his accout is based in india?
>>731548716And that the companies themselves wouldnt collude or otherwise rig the system

>>731550878>The thing is executives are routinely paid in stock options so cratering stock price is cratering CEO paychecks.Oh I see, so that's the incentive for companies to play the big boy casino on the side. How do newly issued shares actually end up in a stock market?
>>731547896>Fuck all of you, enjoy the EU's hand up your ass.This worked because young people don't know how modern day politics/NGOs/movements work. Whenever a government or politician is on your side, you have to think about how they're fucking you, because governments are made out of people and people are greedy and self interested just like you are, especially true of the psychopaths that get into power. They're not placed there to help you, they're there to control you, because politicians are the control interface the actual powered families and dynasties create so they don't have to see, hear, or come near you plebs.So when a shitty little thing like this childish feet stomping>but i wanna wanna wanna play bideo gaymez! I wanna!gets treated seriously by actual politicians and it gathers million+ signatures, it should be your cue to lay off the fart huffing and stop promoting it, but you didn't. And whatever happens next will be on your tab, and it probably won't be pretty for your video games. Remember how when before gacha games release, they suddenly gain hundreds of thousands or millions of "registrations"? Yeah? "Million+ people signed the Yes I Wanna Get Raped By Government In Video Games"? Really? Well, now you're gonna get raped by politicians, enjoy! :^)The best part about this is that after you get raped and learn your lesson, a new crop of fresh fools will have been born and they also will start fart huffing and fuck themselves as well, and you'll be there doing the same thing i'm doing now, pulling your hairs out. It's quite the cycle of self humiliation rituals.
>>731550952This. Things have gotten worse as the proportion of executive compensation given as stock options has increased.You wanna fix America in 5 years? Make it so any share acquired from options can only be sold after waiting 5 years.
>>731548317When should let a private company handle it right shlomo goldberg?
>stuff billions into AI>muh free marketkek
>>731550961Thats the thing: generally shareholders dont buy stocks because they want to own a certain company. They buy stocks because they want to make profit. Converting shares from ownership into company valuation instrument ("I'm Apple going public, I release 1,000,000 shares. Each is valued at 1$ and pays [certain share of yearly profits] as dividends every year") wouldnt essentially change anything for the investors, except they'd lose Board voting power to cannibalize said companies. As for who's in charge? At least to my knowledge, companies exist as hierarchies: those at the top would be in charge, just as they are now, except there's no extra layer of shareholder board above to direct them.
>>731548398Mario can run forever tho.
If you want to see how nasty investing can get, just look up private equity firms and the nonsense of borrowing against debt that ends up being.
>>731551014Shares issued not outstanding. Basically companies keep a big ass pile of shares of stock not traded on the market which they can sell (as options, for new rounds of funding, whatever). If that reserve gets too low they will buy shares back off the open market, or from board members, or whomever.
>>731548052This guy is a lying jeetgle engineer trying to shift the blame
>>731548001The free market is about the choice to just not buy something that can be taken away from you in the first place you retard.
Where is thor?
>>731551162CEOs are just employees though. They aren’t founders of companies. Like what you’re describing is nonsense, it treats corporations as natural occurrences that just pop into the world. Someone makes them, those people own them. When do they become so big that they stop being accountable to their owners?A better solution to this problem, incidentally, would be cooperative economics, because a co-ops owners are its employees and customers, not absentee investors whose only goal is money. But co-ops still function via shareholders with partial ownership and voting control over the company.
>>731551239Cool, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanations.
>>731547896That doesn't actually mean anything yet. Pretty sure some of the verified CIs had no action taken/token action taken.
Wonder what the publishers will prefer doing in the end:Having to release dedicated server tools and losing their crowd control over no-trashtalking safebubbles and obsolescence, or having to pay to keep the severs running themselves.

So now that the EU is now considering actively mettling in what game companies do for the sake of "consumer rights", guess was gonna be pushed on us Americans now to accept, especially since the US game industry is concentrated in California and they all but outscouced all of it the Eu and Canada? This is why everyone in the US hates California. And why it was mainly Americans who were were warning Eufags about the bullshit they are unleashing into the world.

>>731551415Anon, just don't buy things that can be taken away from you, it's that simple.It's why they're currently failing across the board and are done so rarely nowadays.If you're choosing to buy it despite the red flags and warnings from both the companies and other people then that's on you, you used the capacity for choice to choose something you didn't want in the first place. Why? No one knows.

>>731552425I find it funny how this argument literally mirrors the whole trans rights thing.Like as consumers what rights don't you have? You can't even say the right to not have your shit taken from you because no one can take your shit from you,cin the case of a game with DRM you bought a game that could be turned off and went into it knowing that so you can't claim the company was being dishonest if it was all upfront.

No. They are still gambling on it until they get their golden goose.I'd rather put some restrictions on it now than wait 10-20 years to end up in a worse situaton.

Grifter thread.
Why is it that some people can't see the difference between giving the government additional powers and forcing the government to use its power for your benefit?This isn't going to be resolved with some elaborate censorship, companies will just have to release server toolsWhy exactly would a bill that forces companies to hand over a small usb stick of data after they are done using it be the first part of some totalitarian regime?You do know you have to do something to prevent market entities from misbehaving right?You do know the people in power own large corporations right?
>>731552735>no one can take your shit from you except in the case where they canAll I'd ask for is dedicated servers + disabling the always online shit at the end of the game's lifetime

Risks are done very, very rarely. You clearly don't pay much attention to the industry you supposedly care about.>Did it stop studios from trying to make more live service game? No.Yes, yes it did. There were far more five years ago than there are now and they're decreasing every year.>I'd rather put some restrictions on it now than wait 10-20 years to end up in a worse situaton.Anon, if restrictions are placed on it you're going to get a significantly worse situation as companies continue to do what they do and work around the poorly thought out regulation.

Games are not physical products you can "own". They are walks in the park, a ball game with your friends, a trip to an amusement park. They are just things for entertainment to pass the time.You don't gain full ownership of the park or ball game because you spent $20 on a ticket. Funny how that works huh?

>>731552927>companies will just have to release server toolsWhy do you believe that that's what's gonna happen, If and when this comes to fruition? Common Sense? Fuck no, think about it it like this. We in the US, want more jobs in the country, right? Well that just means the outsourcing and the immigration just has to stop, yeah? We have been asking and explaining numerous times why it needs to happen over the years and it still hasn't happened? And you think the EU any different from the fucks over here? Fuck no. They won't make companies just release private servers tools, they'll instead make up some convoluted legislation that will only make game companies have to resort to even scummier bullshit if they want to play ball. It won't be the step away from Live service games like everyone hopes, it will only create even more of them.

And you can't specify what a company is or how big a company has to be because then you'll have instances where large companies just make shell companies to continue doing what they're doing solving nothing.>You do know you have to do something to prevent market entities from misbehaving right?Do you know how you do that?Not buying.It's worked far better in the past than actual legislation has but the problem is that the younger generation is woefully incapable of refusing them for some reason, you just have to blindly spend because you were told to blindly spend because you have problems with FOMO.>You do know the people in power own large corporations right?Yeah, the same people who are telling you to give your rights away for their benefit and you're doing so happily because you're too stupid to take five seconds to even think if what you're getting is actually better than what you have.

the SKG bandwagon crowd is in for an extremely rude awakening if any actual legislation is passed as a result of their autism, indie devs just won't release anything in the EU anymore, it would be a net loss, AAA publishers most likely will release neutered versions of games that have no online functionality and can exist as a tidy single player experience forever so they won't have to worry about anything
>>731553361Yes it is, government, especially in places where politics is not profitable, is a nessicary counter force against endless greed of corporations, the only counter force we have in fact.

>>731553056No, clearly you are the one not paying attention to the industry. Every game from big studios are integrating live service stuff more and more. Almost every game that are topping the chart in sales or player count every year in the past decade has been a live service game. And as I said, every big studio is gambling on a live service hit despite the repeated failures.

Thor's problem is being way too autistic to acknowledge that as a streamer he is not supposed to say the truth.Look at Charlie. That cunt is 100% aware that SKG is a fucking joke, but he still supports them in a hilariously dishonest tone because he knows if he says anything negative about it he will be eaten alive by his own fanbase.At any rate, the fact that this entire movement is carried by e-celeb drama is already disgusting enough. But the fact it is being carried by disingenuous e-celebs that don't even really believe in the movement is the cherry on the cake.

>>731555063I'm honestly for there being threshold of some kind where regulations are softened for indies, but to be honest I'm not convinced they should be allowed to sell games and then rip them away from the customer any more than ubisoft etc should be allowed to

there is an elephant in the room with live service games though. you get more what you paid for intially (patches, content updates etc). it's not as simple as buying a game once and keeping it forever. with a live service there is no "game". the shape of experience is constantly changing.what to you want to "keep" exactly? what version, time slice of live service game?
you need to stop with predatory games as a service bullshit and make real games

>>731555969>But limpwristed fags love infantilizing themselves and giving government endless power to fix problems it caused to begin with."You shouldn't ever use the government to pursue your interests, you should just let everyone else use it against you instead!"I would accept a relaxation of intellectual property laws and smaller government in general as a solution, but while we have the reality of a huge government regulating the fuck out of us all, I'll use it to my advantage when I can thanks very much
>>731556070>An internet free of Indians larping as Americans.That's a myth. X revealing the locations of its users have show that most posters are actually Americans who care deeply about their country.
There's very few games I play that would be lost if the official servers shut down. I use a 3rd party launcher for Minecraft called PolyMC and while it requires me to enter my Microsoft account to download and play. I'm sure if the devs have an internal switch they can flip that allows you to launch Minecraft without an account.

>>731554598Fuck off you partisan political mongoloid.>le no censoring results definitely didn't happen because of muh culture war and copyrightNeck yourself.I still remember when Altavista was the go-to, before it became inundated with spam entries.
>>731553508It's almost like that's the point.Transparency at the point of purchaseWhen you buy a license to use Photoshop, it's clear that you buy a license that runs out in a month, then you renew it.When you buy FL studio you can get a perpetual license that says you have access to it foreverWhen you buy a license for a movie to stream you are told how long you have the movie forVide games are the same type of transaction: buying a license to access a piece of software.Why hasn't the videogame industry caught up?Simple.Previously you bought CDs/cartridges so it felt like a tangible thing you "owned" and noone could take it away.In reality, the physical thing held the files and the license for you to access themPC gamers have known for a long time you were buying a license, the ownership shit is console plebs crying.The industry has maintained this hazy delusion that you own the thing you bought, so they could charge more for it.If you were told a "game" you bought you didn't own and they could revoke the access license at any point then a larger cost seems unreasonable. Same with games that are designed to die like most EA games; battlefield, fifa, NBA whatever.The main thing SKG is asking for is that upfront information so that when someone is about to buy battlefield and it says on the page>When bought, you will be granted a license that allows access to the software listed>EA disclosure: The functionality of this game is dependant on connection to official servers, once the servers are disconnected the game will no longer function and the license will expire.>We aim to keep the servers up and running for up to 6 years, the player count and demand determines how long the servers will remain operational however. We will provide major updates on ww.EA/blahblah.comWith a disclosure like that, people will still play battlefield because it's fucking battlefield. 6 years is a long fucking timeThe information just lets people decide better.

Where'd all the shills go saying that half the signatures were fake? btw, anyone bitching about 'muh americans' is a shill. I am American. Ross is American. The vast majority of Americans are pro-consumer and deeply distrust corporations. The shit you see on social media is not real, you'd know this if you've ever seen any social media videos from bot accounts talking about your country and getting literally everything wrong. Our government is just deeply evil but there's still food on the shelves so people aren't willing to do anything about it.It's a divide-and-conquer tactic to make yuros think they have no allies and to pit them against a different group of consumers instead of the companies fucking them. Do not fall for it.
>>731556935Why not? Let's actually hold corporations accountable on the laws they break. No more "Oopsie woopsie i spiwwed toxic waste in youw gwound watew >.< down't wowwy though, i wiww give uwu extwa big donations in next ewections :3"

>>731556586>>731556646A lot of Americans seem to have main character syndrome. Craft a fanfic and then act on it.
>>731552321Europe considers most of what Commiefornians do to be illegal "go to prison"-tier discrimination.The second Trump cut USAID and banned companies illegally discriminating via DEI policies from getting government contracts?Not only did grossest leftoid social NGOs go bankrupt all over Europe but almost all companies started purging their sustainability documents of all mentions of illegal KPIs tied to team diversity, they even started doing away with ERGs.It's entirely american driven and thank god the cheeto cut off the spigot at the origin.
>>731557224We are the main country of the world, deal with it
>>731557220>an american is the one willing to stand up for consumer rights in europejust reinforces my pointhe lives in poland btw
>>731557220He himself kept saying that he did not wat to be the face of this movement, but no one else was doing shit so he took the initiative.Besides he's cool, I'll accept him as an honorary European.
>>731557220He is just the figurehead. He has been in contact with a group of euros from the start because he can't directly act on it or than talk about it.
>>731548876>the EU which cares about their people and is trying to do good things to improve their lives.Lol. Lmao. The EU is ruled by unelected bureaucrats who jerk off to the idea of muh pan-European identity and are turbo jealous of the surveillance state China managed to implement. They are currently trying to push who knows what iteration of the "chat control" bill that would destroy your privacy, but so far they haven't been able to do it. Instead of respecting the wishes of the people, though, they just try again.
>>731557353other than*
The EU will never act in the people's interests.
>>731548398>>731554364First off; the actual legislation around ECIs require formal hearings according to a set structure and require establishing working groups for further investigation, which will source subjectmatter experts to do the actual research and in due time will finish reports back to the EU Commission.The EU Commission literally CANNOT do a "lol, no." like the backwater sham-democracy in the UK did. Moreover, the Commission and much more importantly: the EU *Parliament* are fairly well involved on the goings-on in the games industry, and have been calling on the Commission for atleast the past year to provide for stricter legislation and/or enforcement on a number of topics where they feel the industry has been shafting consumers. And in some cases they've already gotten it as well.

>>731557434How's the nsa doing these days? Still spying on every american 24/7?
>>731557481Doesn't make him a european citizen. And I don't think he isn't trying to become one either.
>>731557505I still fuck your mother 24/7
>>731556346>If you want the immigrants to stop then maybe tell American and Russia and Israel to stop causing wars in the east-Has nothing to do with that you retard, the vast majority of them don't come from countries that are at war, you have infinite immigrants because your politicians are all far-left anti-white traitors that allow jewish and christcuck NGO's to literally pick them up in their coast and ship them over to your countryBtw there's no war in Syria anymore, do you think the ''refugees'' gonna go back? Are you politicians gonna send them back? Lmao, pathetic cuck
>>731557434>this kills the american
>>731554804Nah- Thor's problem is that he's a pathologic lying narcissist, with an ego propped up by years of riding the coattails of nepotism.
>>731557390As expected of an American cuckold. The EU is good for that because they have many different views so shit like chat control get either raped to death or get sent to the statue quo and never get applied, so fascist countries like France who support chat control and making encryption illegal are forced to get a neutered version of their wish. Why do you think the UK left EU? Because EU prevented them to become a true dictatorship, they were told many times by the EU that their shitty laws went against the EU human right laws.
>>731557587That so? Not too lonely in the graveyard or are you just having a permanent necrophiles orgy?
Mutts too retarded to understand how eu stuff functions.All this does is force the eu parlament to talk about it.Usually what happens is that the five out of a hundred politicians actually present just read the goals, laugh and say no.
>>731557842>Usually what happens is that the five out of a hundred politicians actually present just read the goals, laugh and say no.You hit the nail in the head with this post. Nothing is ever going to come out of this, just a whole lot of wishful thinking by SKGtards
>>731554654I want to believe that this is bait
>>731557942>>731557842This is an awful lot of shilling for people that know nothing will ever happen.
>>731554209You're missing the third option:Release documentation on the architecture, infrastructure and data flow, so that anyone can use that to build their own server replacements without infringing on any third-party middleware's copyrights used in the original.You're also leaving out the actually most realistic option:The market will solve it. Where one middleware provider is using terms of contract that are not compatible with the new reality in the EU, and is not going to adjust their terms, then they're going to be passed over in favor of other middleware providers which WOULD be willing to do so.Yes- there would be an awkward transitionary time involved. Boo-fucking-hoo. Grow a pair.
>>731557942How come there is such desperate opposition to it then?
>>731550531I don't know why any of that would be related to EU politics and not google desperately trying to make youtube profitable by any means necessary.Seeing a bunch of unrelated front page slop intermittently between my actual search results doesn't scream "policy mandate" it screams "Please click on our ads by mistake PLEASE"
>>731557973It is not shilling. The entire initiative is about just bringing the matter to parliament and letting the politicians decide what to do.And considering said politicians elected a balkan oligarch to handle important financial decisions, it is safe to say eu politicians are corporate bootlickers.
>>731558002Most opposition is from kwan indie devs. Unfortunately kwans can't read so they think this is actually a law or something.
>>731558175What the fuck is a “kwan” and which indies are planning on making external server reliant always online games?
>>731555545It makes me smiling (sic) that I know this is classified as electoral fraud and anon's IP address and date of access were logged, which means he's now on a few government watch-lists.

>>731558001>Release documentation... so that anyone can use that to build their own server replacements without infringing on copyright.You know damn well people are going to use it to infringe the copyright and since they're anonymous the companies won't be able to do shit about it. Very disingenuous post.
>>731557592>Btw there's no war in Syria anymore, do you think the ''refugees'' gonna go back? Are you politicians gonna send them back?Uhm.. yes? That's actually what is legitly happening?There's a case in the Netherlands where a particular Syrian family is kept sheltered in a church that has to keep a 24/7 mass going (and has kept it going non-stop for months already) because police enforcement, incl. customs and immigration, is not legally allowed to trespass on those grounds and interrupt practicing religion.
>>731558542Dedicated people don't require permission to infrige copyright on a video game's code.
>>731558292I will rape you in real life today you filthy nigger do not reply to me ever again.
>>731558542Okay. That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
>>731557729The actual reason the UK left is more hilarious than that.The UK left the EU because immigration laws and policies enforced via the EU were too restrictive for them. They couldn't import enough pakis, jeets, and assorted africans to keep their mortal engine of cheap labor fueled and merrily grinding bone and marrow.That's the actual selling point Farrage posed to large UK businesses; and that's how his entire campaign got funded.The UK left, not because they wanted out from the immigration flow and stop it, but because they wanted to be free to INCREASE IT.
steam monopoly next hopefully
>>731558762Yes I know this, but this is precisely why these companies would rather believe a game is shut down forever and nothing can be done about it than face reality. IMO It's a good thing in the case of Multiversus that the real fans get to keep playing while the retards that wanted it to turn into the 2024 relaunch version and enjoyed it get to be left out as an example.

There've been parliamentary questions towards the Commission to pressure them to come to proper replies to the situation before.Quite literally, they cannot pull the "lol, nope." that the UK did.
>>731556586>net neutralityHoly shit, what is this retardation?
>>731558856Shut up, Tim, you're annoying.
>>731550192There was a time when this was the case. It was called Something Awful and it was full of white middle class Americans. Almost zero Europeans. It was so painfully cringe and unfunny that moot fled from it and created 4chan and none of the people who fled ever came back.The same applies to Stormfront, which was so ineffective at propaganda that a bunch of redditfrog-spamming retards from /pol/ went on to shape the entire west's dissident movements while stormfront did... nothing. When Americans wanted to join in on the fun and do some epic greenfrog posting like the cool kids on /pol/, they cringemaxxed with the kekistani hwndu garbage. Or Q for the older demographic. Neither of these exist or can be made to exist in European spheres because we're not tone deaf autists.Yes, just like you I desperately wish for an American firewall where you finally fuck off and are made to interact with just your fellow mutts around you. No pollination from Europeans, just a bunch of shitskins going on a reddit spiral about how great and powerful and diverse America is. It would be so demoralizing that you would crawl your mutt ass to whichever European imageboard you're allowed to access. I really genuinely wish that this would happen so that you got your empirical proof that you fucking suck.
