Such as?
You can inform us on the back door into messaging apps but it's somewhat moot, there's ways around that shit (which is kind of like what we want to see come from the SKG initiative).
We just want OPTIONS available to us. CS:S, Battlefield 3, classic Battlefront, Doom, Dawn of War and others all have ways to keep being played. Community servers or direct IP connection (which Dawn of War broke in lieu of Steamworks to counter piracy because they're niggers) is all I want this shit to be capable of. Or at least a similar alternative of setting up your own shit to support MP. If it takes the EU having to twist an arm then why not have the government work in our favor for once?
 
This guy has no idea what he is talking about. WoW private servers are built on server cores that are built entirely from scratch by reverse-engineering, there is no code from Blizzard. What is he even talking about when he says "require handing over copyrighted code"? All they are doing is using the game binaries and network analysis of live servers, no Blizard code needed at all. There are no laws against building a WoW private server by reverse-engineering the game for that matter.

You know how much of an unlikeable smug faggot you are if even the infinite hellscape of anime coomers gets a call to arms against you.
 
He's just stating the facts of the matter. I didn't take his reaction as pessimistic at all, just telling people to err on the side of caution, which comes across as more humble imo.
the man has been thinking this initiative was DOA for nearly a year at this point so I understand his skepticism on this actually happening. plus I think if he was like "we did it guys, but I need more signatures" rather than being realistic people will just rest on their loreals.
I do agree he should probably hand it off to some other more European youtubers after a while, still be involved but let someone closer offhand some responsibilities. to take some stress off
He should be realistic, that I have no issue with. But the way you communicate things is important. If someone who leads an initiative is sending too many "we probably won't make it guys" messages, then why should I even bother trying to chip in? I am asking a theoretical question. I signed the petition, I got some friends to sign, too. But communication matters. It's probably why the initiative was doing so poorly until universal hatred for Mald helped the ball roll to the finish line.

I want this shit to succeed, big time. Hence I want Ross to be smarter about how he talks about things. He can be as pessimistic as he wants to be, but in a leadership role he should not share every single negative throught. It's just not a good move.

Incorrect.
 
Why are all these stupid faggots in here bitching about SKG? This thread is only tangentially related to SKG in that it hurts Malds image at this point, WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF THE THREAD.

Go fucking sperg about communism in the SKG thread you retards.
 
There are literal layoffs where they are getting rid of 100k+ people in the car industry. Companies make a profit because they are firing insane amounts of people not because they are actually doing so well.
Also lmao at e-waste. I don't give a shit about that green meme bullshit.


Apple still sells their own charging cables. If you think such a small thing like a charging cable (a 20 euro purchase) needs government intervention then I wonder what you think doesn't?
So they're laying people off. No shit. It’s a bloodbath, with tens of thousands of jobs getting cut as the whole industry gets rocked. They are getting hammered by high costs and a slow switch to EVs. But blaming this on regulation is missing the point. They are firing people to survive a massive shift because building electric cars is a different game, and they're trying to stop from being wiped out by Chinese competition.

And lmao at you not giving a shit about "green meme bullshit." The "Stop Killing Games" thing you're in a thread about is the same idea as the charger rule. It's not about polar bears, it's about consumer rights. It's about not letting a company make the game you paid for worthless just because they shut down a server. It’s about not getting ripped off.
 
1: private WoW servers are written from the ground up, rather than implementing any code from blizzshart
2: SKG is not concerned about the distribution of abandoned games, so distributing it without permission from the IP rights holder is still not legal (piracy)
