all this just because The Crew shut down?
>>737073585yes muttnot gibs me the server source code and shut up
>>737073585They shouldnt have fucked with Gamers.Gamers rise up.We live in a society.
>>737073585all this because many games shut downall this because not just games but software in general is held hostage by an otheriwse unnecessary online component
This button will bankrupt an entire industry
>>7370735851.4 million people rallied behind this mold man.
>>737074094It was a little under a million, it was mostly bots
holy shit!
>>737074132This, also EA, Ubisoft, Micrsoft alone will just pay the correct people to get this shot down.You can't win. The industry will not give up service games.
>>737073621Or perhaps allow these games to function with lobbies
>>737074132That was proven false though, corpo cuck
>>737073621>buy game>um atschkualy we're not seein fortnite levels of revenue so fuck you>money stolenand "people" defend this lmao
>>737074238that's impossible. it's just not possible. there has never been a big-budget game capable of allowing p2p or locally-hosted lobbiesit just can't be done.
>>737074796damn, that's crazy. those big companies better figure it out before they get fined for not obeying the law.
>>737073585Why would anyone want this to fail anyways? Assuming you don't misunderstand what's being asked, there's no downside to it succeeding
>>737073585It's not about The CrewIt's about making Ubisoft suffer
>>737075082Studios will never make live service games again, millions of jobs will be deleted as service game dedicated studios + their support studios are all wiped out instantly
>>737075208Please let Ubisoft die so Nadeo can escape its clutches
>>737073585maybe europeans should be more concern with a "stop importing niggers" campaign.
>>737075364I'm jobless too, welcome to the crew
>>737075364Man I wish...But they could still make live-service games and stuffJust make that shit all unlocked or whatever when the live-service shuts down
>>737075410I will never understand this meme, especially coming from 51% land.
>>737075364I thought all existing games werent included
>>737075507Even Fortnite is dying at this point. Live service is beginning to center entirely around Roblox. Which in itself doesn't make money because everything is user created and they legally have to do billions of user payouts. It itself is also always a step away from getting legislated against because the constant pedo controversies
>>737073585Nay, all this because Battleforge shutdown.
>>737075364and that's a bad thing and my problem how exactly?
>>737075082he's gonna make games more expensive for less content
>>737075818How would this affect the price?
>>737075857he's adding more work for the devs
Imagine if Final Fantasy 7 discs stopped working on PSone after a decade. This shouldn't be a difficult case. Purchasers did not know there would be an expiration/death date.
>>737075818He's the CEO of all the game companies? That's already been happening.
Does Ross looking like a disheveled basement dweller help or hurt the movement
>>737076001lol fuck off
>an a*erican telling us what laws to implementwhat a clown fiasco.
>>737076067Who has the image comparing Ross and Pirate Software with the "even the ugliest smile is prettier than the prettiest frown" thing. He's genuine and you can tell, that's all that matters.
so will this save turtle wow....?
>>737075364Stop, you don't have to sell the idea to me even harder
>>737076219No. Blizzard is still offering their official server.
His righteous crusade shall carry on until total victory!
>>737075364actual EA employees hop on every SKG resetera thread and actually say this unironically btw lol
>>737076441literally worse than hitler. imagine how many poor, starving game devs he forced to code the backbreaking task of adding player-hosted servers to the game. literal thousands of manhours, billions, no, trillions of dollars, because this fucking guy couldn't keep his mind off the crew. insane he even has the gall to leave his house, why is he showing his disgusting mug in the parliament?
>>737076030discs do actually stop working after 20-30 years due to physical rotting and bit corruption
>>737075818That's not how this works. Literally nothing has to change with how games are developed. Literally nothing, save for they have to let us be able to boot the game up when they're sick of paying hosting fees. It won't even cost them a cent... except theoretical costs of people still playing old games instead of their yearly released newslop. Which is why the industry is fighting it.
>>737075364>Studios will never make live service games againLOL! Studios lose nothing from making an end of life plan for their games. There are already games that at the end of their life cycle are giving people the option to host private servers.
>>737076001Releasing server binaries is only as much effort as it is to upload a file to the internet. Shut up retard.
>>737076781>trooncasingOpinion discared
And because they killed the Driver series and took down Driver San Francisco from all stores. Go get em Ross!
>>737077282>discared
>>737076067it gives him "knows the computer cred" to boomers and normalfags
>>737075082Only capitalism is against SKG because it ruins their plan of having planned obsolescence dominate video games to squeeze more money out of you.
>>737074047return to castle wolfenstein?
>>737075364[Uplifting News!]
Imagine giving a solitary fuck about The Crew.
>>737075364Stop, my boner can't get any harder.
Im watching through this shit now and wow, this one from fallout 76 is so damning it read like parody. death to suits who have gotten away with this shit for too long
>>737073585And Battlefield 2And Battlefield 2142And Battlefield Bad company 2And Red alert 2And Dead space 2 coopAnd Burnout paradiseAnd any other future game with functionality designed to be dependant on a server they know will be turned off.While you wave them off, flippantly saying they aren't worth saving while using moral blackmail claiming indie devs who never use server would suffer having to do "extra work" or pay indefinitely to keep servers running, when no indie dev would ever choose to add an expense like that; they would use free methods that have been around since the start and require no maintenance or ongoing support. Or delusionally cry that the poor corpos are being forced to release """""the binaries""""" like a fucking SDK is a source code leak.
>>737075364holy shit i just donated my house to ross
>>737073585Someone shop a mushroom onto the top of that head
>>737073973>many games shut downyeah, like The Crew and uh...
>>737076001>Assuming you don't misunderstand what's being askedah, we found the issue here thenit wouldn't be more work for developers because they've already done all of the work necessary (develop the server code), all they have to do is release it to the public when they no longer want to support the game themselvesglad to clear that up. hope i helped, champ! :)
>>737073585It's not about one specific game, you dumb cretin
>>737075364>Studios will never make live service games again, millions of jobs will be deleted as service game dedicated studios + their support studios are all wiped out instantlyGood
aha see you would know about Dark Spore if EA didn't kill it
>>737073585>all this just because The Crew shut down?They shouldn't have done it. This is what they get for shutting down a single player game
>>737073585>
Netflix can "stream" videos to you for a monthly cost and pull the plug whenever. But videogames doing that is le evil? It would have made sense if this 5head nerd targeted all media but instead he had to go nerdrage because of THE CREW and call games "art". It makes his cause seem like a joke.
>>737079145loved that gamethink it was my first experience of a live service game shutting downso disappointed
>>737079784Netflix is a subscription, when you stop paying you stop getting movies, games that are one-time purchases are not
>>737079859So basically SKG is not going to stop live-service games? Just make sure companies let their customers know it's a subscription and all is hunkydory?
>>737079024Titanfall 1Titanfall 2 (was practically shut down for a while by griefers until servers were reverse engineered)MAGAce Combat Infinityhttps://stopkillinggames.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_game_list
>>737079941If you have to pay a fee to connect to their servers, then you know exactly when you won't be able to play anymore, skg goes after games that still require that internet connection but can be shutdown at any time without you knowing. Technically, if they put a clear indicator that paying $70for the game will give them access to it until a certain date and then it will be taken away, it's fine, but it's also pretty much suicide for sales.
>>73707508290% of the people opposing it on any given website are paid shills and guerilla marketers hired by Ubisoft or some other corporation that this threatens. The other 10% are divided between deliberate trolls just being contrarian for the kicks and illiterate retards being contrarian as a kneejerk response.Even a video game dev actually working on those live service games should want this because it preserves your work that you busted your ass for. The only people that DON'T want this are publishers/producers that threaten to potentially lose some money from conversion sales when they shut down a previous game to push people to buy the new one.
>>737073585>all this just because The Crew shut down? -The Ubisoft executive screamed at the top of his lungs
>>737075364>Studios will never make live service games againholy shit don't threaten me with paradise on Earth
