Bros I'm fucking telling you, Artstyle Physiognomy is real

Well yeah. You can tell if someone is an furry from the way they illustrate their art.

give it 3 months to a year and i bet you it comes out that he is a pedo.
once these weirdos get popular enough everything eventually leaks.

I've scribbled better on a napkin lol game looks like horse shit.

This game looks like a cheap rip-off of Earthbound. I'm tempted to follow the advice included in studio's name and check it out to see how bad it really is.

Thor is right. Video games are for children. If you are so concerned about playing a game pirate it don't support some cringe initiative for some EU bureaucrat to try and bully Americans.

Better run that shit in a VM, if you do. I wouldn't put it past him to put in some malware as an "anti-piracy measure".

I mean yeah?
>has "Bound" in the name

If you are so concerned about playing a game pirate it

You can't pirate a dead game 99% of the time. Idiot. And the 1% of the time you can its because INSANE efforts from others, which often doesn't happen.

If nobody bothers to make servers, it must not be a good game. Also, video games are for babies grow up.

He mentioned in a short some time ago (in a short that I can't find atm) that the games save file is the achievement list on steam so it is "Unpirateable"

Edit: This was apparently his Champions of Breakfast game, not Heartbound.

you obviously don't know shit about this matter. but I'll give you bullet points for your autistic ass.


-games with central servers, like "the crew" are dead once servers run by the company are shut down
-this is because a lot of necessary code is often stored on servers, sometimes even a majority of code.
-people paid money FOR the game, and no longer have access to play it. This is different than stuff like say, quake servers shutting down way back when, because people can STILL run quake in both single, and multiplayer.
-if 90% of the game code is server side (and if it DEMANDS access to a proprietary server), fixing it to be playable is nearly impossible for regular users, so its not reasonable for your average person to fix
-initiative just tells people "if you shut down, make an effort to host files for a few months, so fans can run their own servers / maintain the game themselves to some capacity, or just write out code which requires online. It doesn't have to be perfect, just functional, so after you drop support, someone CAN play, in some capacity, the game they paid for.
-compared to other consumer law, its already comparatively illegal, but theres just no set precident. if I sell you a car, and then 12 months later firebomb it without prior warning saying "yeah, we are shutting down so no more car for you", its illegal as shit. The initiative at LEAST wants a timeline for if you pay money, so if you run a game for 5 years, say so from the jump. Not just you wake up one morning, and your product is destroyed because they say so.
-You are fucking gay if you are rushing to suck corporate dick. Especially if your ass doesn't even play games so you assume destruction of it doesn't matter.


If you REALLY indeed hate games, think of it in the context of if you bought, I don't know, a day planner software, to manage appointments, schedules, addresses, ect ect. OR 3d printing software, what it does isn't important. You pay 100$ for it. Next day, they shut the servers down, and your 100$ is effectively used for nothing, because the software no longer works at all. Thats a direct comparison, which you are shilling for, dumbass, that they can shut a service down RIGHT after you pay 100$ and its not illegal. And you are simping for it.

That was for Champions of Breakfast with unlocks. The way he describes the Earthbound ripoff, there'd be no way to replay it if he used the same scheme twice.

>bitches at ross scott
>OP gets updated within the week

what are the odds he tries to go full hackerman and fails since KF is not as small as spy.pet

He will probably try to leverage his fanbase and streamer buddies to organize a PR campaign before resorting to hacker tactics.

The real concern is whipping up another round of hate on Twitter, reminding the usual suspects to start up their bullshit reporting and deplatforming again.

And he is buddies with several other streamers and youtubers, some of whom are ex-silicon valley types. They could leverage their audiences and sv contacts if they have any. ThePrimeagen and Theo Browne already voiced their opinions on stopkillinggames. Their views are largely in line with Jason's.

Black Willow Lurker posted this picture in the stop killing games thread yesterday https://kiwifarms.net/threads/stop-killing-games-eu-edition.197113/post-19053980

How does someone this inept at coding get so much attention on youtube as a "game developer"? Did he just hit a lucky streak in the algorithm and now youtube shows off his retarded shorts to everyone?

He learned about the odd way the algorithm serves shorts to people. If uploaders un-check the "notify subscribers" box, youtube will prioritize serving their shorts to new, active users. Here's the video explaining this:

The version I got had just a steam emulator bundled with it, so it's pretty piratable. Granted, I didn't get very far, so there might be some "surprises".

That was for Champions of Breakfast with unlocks. The way he describes the Earthbound ripoff, there'd be no way to replay it if he used the same scheme twice.

LOL. If progress is actually tied to achievements, the pirated copy would be more feature-complete than the "legal" one. Fucking amazing.

I took a look at the first video and was happy to see a 1 to 2 like to dislike ratio, and tons of comments blasting him. Funnily enough his comment of "I've never met a dev who supports this" has the first comment of "I'm a dev, and I support this". What fucking clowns

Between Primeagen mentioning "death threats" supposedly directed at our girlboy Maldavius, the "all of the game developers contacted me" in both Mald's and Theo's videos, and the "entitled gamers", these retards might be trying to start their very own DeveloperGate.

I never pay for software. Also, abolishing IP would allow people to reverse engineer and make their own games easily, so there would be no need for EU garbage if I paid 100 bucks for software. I'm an idiot and should have it taken away from me. Look at this forum, for example, where the owner paid 100 bucks for the software only for his license to be revoked. Should that be illegal? He then pirated it, and it's working just fine. The moral of the story is: only buy physical disks and don't play video games.

You can just say you've never done anything of value with a computer, it's okay.

Computer gaming has not been good since Lego Worlds shut down. I have never cared about video games since, and yes, you are right, I just use the web browser like a boomer.

But this is industry standard now, isn't it?
It would be very funny if our girlboy went full Phil Fish and killed his little project to own the haters.

I make $200k+/yr. Almost 300 if you include my wife. I play games every single day. If I'm a baby, what does that make you? Kill yourself wagie cuck.
