Ross forgot to bring his gigantic bag of cash. Things work on incentive structures. Your most powerful EU governments, which basically decide everything in the EU, operate on parliamentary systems. If you have a pet issue that only affects 5% of the population, you better have giant bags of cash you're able to threaten economic downturns with, or pay the right bribes, or nothing ever happens.

If it isn't a strictly partisan issue you're totally boned, nobody is dedicating a solitary second to advancing nonpartisan issues. Personal loyalty means absolutely nothing in a parliamentary system.

The issue of software requiring externally hosted services or pushing updates that disable key features or require agreeing to new license terms, despite being sold with a one-time, indefinite license is a recurring issue that affects more than just games, especially when coupled with how easily abused the DMCA is.
>Herf derf it's not a sale, it's a license
Legally in the EU, if they sell you a copy of a game and a license to play it, then they have sold you the same shit regardless of whether it's physical or digital.
>>748773316
Reminder that Sony announced their plan to end physical when they did, because the parliament was in summer recess and then they wiped the slate with the GTA 6 leak. If EU parliament had been active at the time, this would have been enough pressure to force a vote of no confidence in the Von der Leyen commission.

Your case was very very very small and very fringe, for the amount of scrutiny you brought to gaming.
It was a small problem.
It was NOT a big problem.
It was fringe cases that comported like every social media ever or any software ever at best, and that it affected 500 gamers at worst (like the server shutdowns)
It was a fringe small case, that you retards brought in because you are entitled fucks, and opened the door for this shit
It's well deserved and I hope you kill more games.

AI renders his initiative pretty much pointless now. You can vibecode private servers with bots for any game you want, like how it was done with Battlefield Heroes or Ace of Spades.

>>748777061
As cynical as it sounds, never really. Things start to get “worse” the second humanity decides to face the other direction and begin the cycle of self analysis, regulation, and critique.
The EU is a super bureaucracy that presides over a collective of stagnant economies, it doesn’t actually create anything or have a clear vision, it simply “regulates” the countries and companies that do and extorts whoever it can to keep itself afloat. Europe has been facing the other direction since WW2 desu and it’s natural state has always been regulatory feudalistic hell, don’t worry about it, it’s the US that truly determines the course of action for the world. And even if the west decides to regulate itself into extinction, its enemies won’t, and the tech will continue to be developed and the world will move on

how though? they didnt ask for forever support, or for axing private servers, in fact they asked for the opposite. if a teenager solodev can package the serverside executables for his game with the game, why can't big devteams with 1000s of devs do that too? thats literally what SKG wants, package the serverside parts with the clientside, or put an expiration date on when you'll turn off the servers.

because it’s more complicated than just games, it would require copyright and ip law to change dramatically and the concept itself is just retarded, a company can’t be expected to indefinitely support a product that is no longer profitable so the consequence is either the government subsidizes it or ignores it meaning only the most grotesquely wealthy companies would even bother with the risk in the first place, not to mention how it would annihilate the indie market, and if the government is backing games which of course it would either directly or indirectly to protect its “investment,” it would want a say in the sort of content that is supported and so on. it would corporatize games to the extreme, introduce insane content moderation, and it would have far reaching effects. Also the media which is already government controlled in the EU would become involved etc
Basically the opportunity for massive levels of corruption and exploitation would be too tempting for a vulture like the EU to pass up on

that’s the end result if you follow the logic, their “demands” are inconsistent and retarded anyway so that alone leaves opportunity for regulators to interpret them as they wish, they basically petitioned the commission to address a grievance they can’t really define. there is nothing simple about this and the funny part is that if you have a free market, why not invest your time and resources into making your own game with its own servers instead of on lawyers all for the sake of some imperfect fossilware from decades ago

it’s private intellectual property the government would be ordering a company to turn over to the public, of course there are many many issues with this purely out of concept. STG might not use their imagination but the government and corporations would
multiplayer has millions upon millions of players across genres globally and every single future multiplayer game would have to be designed to fit this regulation and presumably, existing games might too. massive companies would die over this, it would change the entire market permanently for the worse, and it would benefit no one but the government and the private interests it decided to trust with the information. honestly it this were to come out, companies would cancel or “kill” currently popular games from the market just to ensure they are able to remain in business

the demands are consistent. if you can't keep the servers up and running, give them to the players. if you knew you can't give the servers to the players, and can't keep them on forever, put an expiration date on the game.

if a nobody solodev can package serverside executables with the clientside game files, why can't AAA companies?

Only 20% of europoors have a/c. I didn't say you can't get one I said you don't have them.

Correct, because we've reached the point where they'll just accept it. They'll complain about it for a while but they won't do anything. Plenty of them will actively defend legistlating the circuses away because the TV told them circuses are dangerous and bad.

>just give them to “the players”
this is not simple. They tell people it is simple to garner popular support and might actually believe it is simple, but it is actually extremely complicated and far reaching. It also isn’t fair to compare a AAA company with millions of dollars invested into it forced by law to hand over its property and a solodev that chooses to make their work open source
SKY also lacks a good case, it’s not as if companies are “killing” games played by millions of people, they’re laying the dog down to rest after its body has become tired and cancerous. Imagine you’re a middle aged regulator who doesn’t play videogames and some weird looking guy in a rumpled collared shirt with no tie starts moralizing about the untimely death of Wizard!: A Magical Adventure, a proto-mmo that was first released 25 years ago and had a strong and vibrant community of 200 players globally when the nurses finally decided to pull the plug.

The only he pushed for was the ability for people to legally run those servers without it infringing on copyright laws (Which is absolutely possible with EU's framework of copyright vs product protection), this side of things would've happened regardless of SKG.

This shit isn't about kids.

It's about government and sponsored companies gradually controlling all media, locking down all narratives, so you good goys don't get any more funny ideas. Even if it's about the current state of the world, or about why things only ever seem to get worse than what their parents had. But not for the elite.

Me, I think they're gearing up to force people to accept a lower quality of life, and eventually pigeonhole them into "community service," i.e. conscription. Then allowing the host nation to fast track/human traffick migrants for cheap labor. Because kidnapping people into vans ain't going to work here, like it does in Russia and Ukraine.

Stuff ain't going to get better, until you get more people running for office just to reverse these petty anti-individual, anti-citizen things.

Besides the fact that this would literally kill all "retro" servers, just consider the fact that there are many, many games that are literally impossible to get anymore due to piracy and if your ID was directly connected to your internet connection and you got flagged the moment you entered a pirate site, they'd be gone forever

That's the whole problem, if they're not responsible then whoever's running it is responsible, which means the government needs to make sure they can vet and track people who run private servers and the people using those servers. Running private servers in a gray area is much better than having some faggot government dictate how it should be done.

The EU isn't a supreme omniscient and omnipotent single-minded political instance.

Right now we are governed by the liberal center-right in a coalition with harder right-wing parties down to the far-right.

Skg was the same sort of harmful as this kids act. It effectively shit on the idea of indie and AA multi-player without insane investments. If a company doesn't exist to fund it, they legally cannot since it must have some sort of investment for local servers. The kids act is terrible, but it isn't asking devs to fork up to pay monthly just to release a product that failed. Sgk could never have been fully enforced because of the easy abuse. And this brought issues for companies who want to kill games for future revenues. Its still unenforceable at scale outside civil suits.

SKG is indeed bad but not because of your retarded fake reason, it's bad because it makes corporations responsible for server software which automatically means 1.

Hmm...

Maybe you're right. Well, no-- you're definitely right about me not knowing shit about the history of copyright. Not sure why I had such a knee-jerk reaction to the idea of abolishing it in the first place.

Alright anon, I am suddenly feeling more open to this concept, as it occurred to me that it may drastically alter the stagnant, commercialized retardation with which most of the arts are handled today. Forgive my bizarre fury earlier. Honestly not sure what came over me.

Redpill me on this idea of yours. I am intrigued.

Correct. SKG was bad because it proposed more legislation. The correct solution was to gut the DMCA, the draconian piece of shit that gives them power in the first place.

>>748786682
Copyright was made up by the king of England to prevent the spread of printed books he didn't like. Since then it became a form of widely spread state-granted monopolies. It's the same as all other monopolies - it benefits the monopolist at the cost of everybody else. Art does not need it to exist and it harms the market as a whole. People only support it because of tradition and greed. Everybody secretly wishes to be the monopolist.

Bullshit and a big nothing-burger.

The actual proposed text of the act:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:52026PC0681

Nothing forbids private servers.
Nothing entails huge costs for small devs.
Devs can literally design the online experience of a game around being safe to minors and won't have to do a thing for it.

And only a very small subset - namely article 15 - applies to games and online games specifically.
And actually it does one very good thing: it makes battle passes and daily login grind fucking illegal.

Everything else applies to video-sharing platforms and social media platforms *that require a person to have an account and tie that account publicly back to that person.*
Anything accessible anonymously largely escapes from all the rules. (And yes- anonymous access is not forbidden.)

There are a fuck ton of other producers; independent or otherwise. People would have to change the way they view the content they publish entirely.

Actually, it makes me think about Bill Watterson. This nigga famously never sold out. But in a world without copyright, he wouldn't have been able to control his IP.

I don't think that's tied to economic ideology as much as it is tied to the elderly mishandling digital oversight because they'd rather do things their way than let tech-savvy younger people have a crack at internet safety. The politicians have no fucking idea about anything digital except Microsoft Office. Companies themselves have been pushing for real-person confirmation methods such as age identification because the bot flood is harming ad revenue and ad companies (like Google) don't want to advertise to bots. I agree that kids shouldn't be on such an awful internet but I would vastly prefer that they crack down on genuinely awful shit like TikTok and enact education campaigns for responsible internet use rather than go the nuclear "tie your real life identity to what you do" option from the start, parents should be educated on the dangers of letting children unsupervised on Roblox.
Measures to nationalize verification so that the only thing companies get is a confirmation that someone is old enough are better than letting private companies in charge of that but it's vulnerable to black hats who are not only incentivized to keep the internet unregulated but also steal data for impersonating people. The whole "dude the GOVERNMENT is watching you and is going to ARREST you for BAD SPEECH" shit is literally pointless for as long as you use proxies/VPNs (you connect to the internet via an ISP after all) but legislation/action against that is its own can of worms.

Without copyright corpos like Sony can just take whatever indie game got popular, steal it for themselves, and squash the original creator through various means (removing them from their platform, drown them in frivolous lawsuits, etc.). The proposition of no copyright only makes sense in a delusional fantasy land where everyone is competing on equal ground.

The only provisions that apply to online games are listed in article 15. Everything else is gated on video-sharing platforms and social media platforms.

The most important parts:
1. Online games have to ensure that compulsive use is not encouraged and should do so by not undermining the choice to discontinue playing, and by avoiding incentivizing continued engagement, whether positive or negative - i.e. by giving additional rewards or taking benefits away if you distance yourself from the game for a time.
2. Games have to ensure a high level of privacy and safety by default, by ensuring the default settings for sharing geolocation and other tracking features, the settings for sharing mic or webcam footage, recommendations of others not yet on their friends list, and for interrupting push notification like mechanisms are all turned off. (They may still be enabled as a conscious choice. The default just has to be off.)
3. Games have to prevent direct messaging by unsolicited other gamers. Only contacts a minor actively seeks out of their own volition should be allowed by default and there must not be any sollicitation to add additional other gamers to their friends list to expand it. (e.g. "it looks like you may know XYZ") And minors have to be able to block any contact after the fact if they want to.
4. Games have to prevent other gamers from accessing any user-generated content or account information of a gamer that may be a minor, unless the minor has expressly approved disclosing that information. (Which basically means private-by-default; public-by-choice for everyone. A good idea.)
5. Safeguards have to be put in place which prevent luring minors from the game's closed community onto other online platforms which may pose a risk to their privacy and safety. E.g. any outgoing links should be blocked for direct-opening; or at the very least should include an "are you sure?" interstitial page.

None of that is taxing in any way.

This is essentially what it's about. It is intended to shed light on the numerous problems holding merit above everything else causes in a society where people don't necessary get the rewards they deserve, and sometimes get fucked over for reasons that do not reflect their quality or character.

>neuron science and factors of IQ about race and gender
I'm not writing this to appeal to whatever demented sociopolitical worldview you have, anon. It's a book I suggested because it was, for me, groundbreaking in a very disturbing way, particularly because I was once on board with the concept of meritocracy. Read it or don't-- I couldn't care less.

Copyright has nothing to do with fraud. They're two separate sets of laws. The DMCA is used as a bludgeon against anything under the sun, but that's not its purpose nor is it desirable.

I'm saying that if you want a government with no regulations, there are plenty of countries to live out your fantasies in.
They might not be quite so pleasant though. You might think it has everything to do with demographics, but you have failed to consider that laws are created and enforced in correlation to the citizens
>>
>>748789018
>Problem: all of this hinges on what methods an online game must use to define which users are minors and which ones are not
It does not. You simply provide the baseline to everyone. Nothing in the act's legal text actually blocks a minor's access. It's all about default settings.
The only thing mentioned related to games where blocking access comes into play is in buying games with a higher age rating. There the EU age verification scheme must be used and the entire age assurance must be based on zero-knowledge proof. That is - the online storefront gets nada of your actual personal data, it just gets a token that says you are of age.

Also - the EU didn't make the stupid fucking mistake the UK made. The EU expressly allows and legally REQUIRES that the online account can store a signal that the accountholder has already verified their age, and won't be required to do so again. Meaning the shenanigans that e.g. Steam does by requiring a credit card to remain tied to the account at all times, are VERBOTEN.

Something that I think gets subverted too often is just freedom of association. If I start a business and I turn down a literal genius for a dumbass friend just because I like them more instead and willing to hurt my business then that should be my choice. I think whites got psyop into the metrics topic over the fear of being turned down for minority quotas while missing that you should be able to do whatever you want if its truly a small private business. There are also important factors to consider such as someone who may be amazing in ability but has a history of compromising and destroying everyone they work for./

Your proposed policies would further lead to the third-worldification of the first world. I refuse to allow it.

>>748789785
No, not really. Corruption does not come from bureaucracy, and the corruption in African countries doesn't come from bureaucracy but rather the abuse of first world charity money.

Compare Haiti to Singapore. Which would you rather live in?

>I'm sure your singleminded sadomasochistic fixation makes the idea of being tortured eternally for no reason sound awesome
It's going to happen to everyone no matter what, might as well accept your fate.

Corruption requires bureaucracy to exist, you can't steal something from an institution or abuse its systems if there's no money passing hands or system to abuse.

Don't worry, in your utopia where property doesn't exist then vidya can't exist anyway

Since I'm a betting man, I would bet you $50,000 that this won't happen, but I know there is no chance in hell you have that kind of money, so forget it.

You failed to prove that, your argument was fallacious and based on incorrect assumptions >>748789798
You were wrong about them not enforcing copyright, I proved you wrong and now you switched to a more general argument which is also incorrect as tons of third world countries regulate a lot more.
It was also fallacious because "the third world breathes air so we should never breathe again" is fucking stupid and you should immediately its stupid as you type the argument, but alas you are also fucking stupid.

the abuse would just come another way. trying to fix corruption by removing bureaucracy is like trying to fix a broken pipe stopping a leak. the problem runs deeper

>>748790029
No it wasn't. Bootlegs exist and its much easier to get away with them in third world countries. That you refuse to accept this just to win an argument is quite sad.
