What does a layoff have to do with it

i dont give a fuck about a genocide but dont touch muh video games

>>43337
You cannot do shit to stop genocide. You don't, no one with working morality has capability or willingness to stop it
You CAN however stop companies from touching bideo games

>>43334
>every multiplayer game has a expiration date unless it has lan
You have intellectual property brain worms. It's easy in principle to make source code public and let people who want to keep playing to run their own community servers.

>>43339
The goal is to make every Multiplayer game Counter strike 1.6 or Ragnarok online pretty much.

Woah it's bloodgasm, the Don Juan of Cyberpunk 2077! ( ˘ ³˘)♥

>>43180
God damn i hate that consooomer union so fucking much

Bloodgasm is right that the petition doesnt go nearly far enough, currently if some shitty consumer law gets enacted thanks to this most publishers will do the bare minimum and maybe only leave the launcher on lmao, maybe they will count that as a game. But porky is still scared shitless lmao, because further the down line the actual issue might be tackled (live service games and licenses) aka Steam and all those shitty drm infested storefronts. Although Steam might be targeted regardless in the EU due their essential monopoly on the pc gaming market.

>>43368
Also if we ignore the cooonsoome meme, the actual problem is games as a service (rent seeking) and games as a license, gacha slop etc…

>>43368
>Bloodgasm is right that the petition doesnt go nearly far enough
How could it go further without immediately getting throw out? Nothing is touching copyright, anon. And what is and is not acceptable state to leave the game in will be debated in Brussels and later on in courts

>>43370
>Nothing is touching copyright, anon
I never said that that

>>43371
Ok then what is the real problem?

>>43372
Trick question? Copyright obvs but in terms what is achievable via consumer protection (atleast theoretically although with a very low low chance) digital media being treated the same way physical media is treated. Again, super low chance but in theory, it would be possible, and it wouldnt infringe on copyright.

>>43374
And by copyright i mean ip in general of course

>Uh… wanting to own the things you bought and not get caught up in planned obsolescence schemes is… uh… consumerism! Thats right, it's consoomerism! You dumb leftoids hate the consoomers, right?
They're not sending their best.

>literally giving money to companies who sell you a shitty service, mislead you, and syphons money from total saps time and time again
<no but this time we have a petition so when we spend money on their next shit service game that have to now promise us that they will let us purchance the offline mode (or just buy the digital deluxe ultimate edition for 109.99 euros that promises offline support after season 218 of the battle pass, sold seperately)!

>>43382
You're just being a pretentious cunt, yes pirating is better but you can say the same about shoplifting, I guess bread should be $20 then so we can just laugh at the people who buy it

If that is the case, I hope you starve.

>not filtering all the retarded namefags
you only have yourself to blame

>>43384
this is the most leftypol can ever "organize", pls understand

30 fucking years of signing petitions. I'm so fucking sick of it. Buy a rack of dvds and start handing burned discs out to people on the street.

>>43382
>>43383
forcing companies to bundle the server binaries would be a huge boon to pirated games, especially old ones. i do think that the language should have been more specific in this regard, if there's any criticism to be made it's that, but it just so happens that doing this is the most cost-effective way of "preserving" games, so i'm cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.

>>43388
then go tell that to /meta/, so namefags can be banned once and for all.

>>43400
>Buy a rack of dvds and start handing burned discs out
most physical games these days are redeemed by code only, requiring to download online and you need a modded console to play ripped and burned games.

i propose a new movement: "kill more games"

let companies shut down old severs, but new ones too. as well as this, simply stop making new video games/consoles altogether, stop digital/physical distribution of older titles, and crack down on video game related piracy

>>43402
>most physical games these days are redeemed by code only, requiring to download online and you need a modded console to play ripped and burned games.
this is fine, most people buying physical media are just doing so for the sake of "collecting" so all those boxes can collect dust on their ikea shelves forever

Jailbroken for Sony. It is now trivial to have a fully jailbroken PS4, okay you are last gen but games still come out and PS5 jailbreaking is getting better.

neither being for nor against this shit has anything to do with communism faggot

>>43548
>pointing out features of late stage capitalism has nothing to do with communism
Are you genuinely retarded? With a statement like this, I genuinely don’t want to be too mean to you because you’re clearly mentally challenged.

>>43549
>late stage capitalism
youre the only genuine retard here lmfao imagine unironically spouting this shit

anyway when you buy a commodity you do so as a consumer whether youre proletarian or not is irrelevant to this, read engels any time

>When, however, the worker is cheated by his grocer or his baker, either in regard to the price or the quality of the commodity, this does not happen to him in his specific capacity as a worker. On the contrary, as soon as a certain average level of cheating has become the social rule in any place, it must in the long run be leveled out by a corresponding increase in wages. The worker appears before the small shopkeeper as a buyer, that is, as the owner of money or credit, and hence not at all in his capacity as a worker, that is, as a seller of labour power. The cheating may hit him, and the poorer class as a whole, harder than it hits the richer social classes, but it is not an evil which hits him exclusively or is peculiar to his class.

Acerola made a 1 hour presentation establishing the context for both Stop Killing Games and the decline of the (AAA) industry as a whole.
