-I'm too young to have known any games that have local savefiles

Wasnt Myke dophonebooked as a 40-something year old a while back, or am I confusing him with some other Maldowasher? Regardless, the "wat happunz wen internetz dies, checkmate atheists" is about as retarded as something like "well, but when the sun goes supernova we all die anyway".

 

[Drive-By Comment]

his community

It must be weird, when people in the gaming online sphere with influence, that agree with their favorite big brain... do not exist. Actually every fucking gamer influencer and streamer has crawled out in past 4 days to say Mald is a fucking moron and a shill.

*Except Asmon. Who crawled out to say that he like Thor, even though Thor is 100% wrong.

slightly off topic, but if this expands to stop killing software I would be so happy, premere pro requiring a subscription practically makes piracy the only non "you will own nothing and you will be happy!!!" option to use their video editing software. shit sucks so much

*Ahem* I own a cracked suite and you should too.
Sorry Sony Vegas... Adobe is less... Retarded.

 

[Burnt Effigy]

Yeah I sneaked it in because of how much of a bad take it is. It's like they've never heard of lifetime licenses being thrown to the dumpsters by big corpos.
Looking at you adobe, teamviewer...

But hey, if he's going to go that way he'd better make sure mald knows what he thinks of using an older version of gamemaker, y'know.

I doubt that they would make subscriptions part of the law, as the terms are clear: you own a license to a product for a temporary time, and the license has a clear end date.
As long as the license is active, you need to own the software, but they could just stop selling the license, wait for everybody who has an active license to expire, then shut down old software, that would in theory be perfectly aligned with SKG.

The issue is perpetual licenses, like buying a video editing software license, then having it not work after 8 years because the license checking server shut down.
(Note: this means that SKG would apply to Windows)

You listen to songs.

My grammar was probably mangled, I meant watch(ing) the SKG live ticker. Either way, good taste.

120k, well on our way to 130, doubt 140, probably not 150.

Just to be clear i don't have a general issue with licenses to a subscription, what I take issue with are the cases where an advertised "lifetime subscription" is retroactively borked for the purpose of getting people into a monthly/yearly subscription.
This is why i consider windows out of the equation, windows will still boot and run even though you wont have patches and security fixes.
Keeping the activation servers up is definitely an issue in this scenario.

 

[Gottahavemysips]

I'm out of the loop because I officially gave up on that shithole after The Leakening.

They're ACTUALLY against this? What the fuck? Of all places you'd think 4chan would be against lazy faggot devs and greedy corpos being lazy, greedy faggots.

When I was browsing /v/ last week, it looked like most people were on board. There were the typical contrarians, though most of them seemed like obvious bait. Of course, more recently users here mentioned that the threads are getting spammed with CP and gore now, so I wouldn't be surprised if the only people still around are the sick fucks who would hitch themselves to Mr. Fagtree.

It's less about patches/security fixes and more about the license activation server.

If Microsoft takes them down, it'll become impossible to activate windows legitimately and you'll get the impact of trial mode not working.

SKG would force Microsoft to either provide a working Windows version without a license check, or an offline license check, or to keep the activation servers up forever.

The latter is what they've been doing, and I doubt they'll change that anytime soon.

It kinda settled down. It's clear that the vast majority of people browsing /v/ are for it, then you just have people trolling and some contrarian faggots. Also jannies have stopped going after threads mostly. Someone posted on /v/ earlier that jannies apparently got shat on in IRC.

I went to sleep for few hours and woke up to see 800,000+ names, gamers are rising is up Viva la resistance!

I think it's more likely they're actual corpo shills/2cent army pajeets or chinks.

Retards on 4chan would rather die than admit how well known and mainstream the site has become, doubly so after 2016.

Part of the reason I stopped using the sites was just the insane amounts of clearly paid shills and bots, and it's hilariously easy to get some corporate monkey to anonymously spam garbage to silence dissenting discussions.

Yeah, the 2019's EU Digital Directive already makes the distinction between software sold indefinitely sold and subscriptions with a set time, so any new SKG law would also take that into account. So Adobe would be unaffected on their grift.

This is why there needs to be a big push to keep signing it until the very end, don't just stop once it reaches 1M signatures.

Jason's discord cuntmunity have been forging signatures, at least.

Mein Fürrhrer, the Maldcord attack collapsed.
Generalissimo Ross has us surrounded.

I'M CALLING IT NOW, HITLER RANTS EPISODE ABOUT THIS. POSSIBLY ABOUT MALD

Sometime I wonder if a lightbulb is ever going to turn on over there

Shit really feels like peggy from KOTH realizing the kid is john redcorns. I swear I can HEAR the gears turning, but its just not going through.

Louis was one of the only larger channels who covered SKG and Thor’s absolutely retarded responses back when the whole drama happened. Glad he’s bringing his trademark vitriol for companies for Thor. Mald deserves so much worse.
