advanced elastic architecture

This sounds like marketing talk. Can you clarify what this means? Because as far as I know, for as much as anti-SKG huffs and puffs about how hard it would be to allow for self-hosted servers, when it comes down to it a server is just someone else's computer you access things from. Realistically hardware requirements for peer to peer hosting would be the consumer's problem, which is a perfectly fair expectation. It's not like the initiative is forcing devs to send out their server racks. A game built in mind with self-hosting capability isn't nearly as taxing or difficult as you're framing it. Like, think TF2. Valve still has official servers, but there are also plenty of client tools Joe Average can use to boot up a game and connect to other people.

 

[There Is Light At The End]

Please tell me if I have a sophisticated multiplayer game that has a containerised Kubernetes/AWS EKS back end like how Riot Games hosts their games. How do I adapt this advanced elastic enterprise architecture to be compatible with launching on home PCs and single instance servers without totally rewriting it?

Nigger, you can if you want rent a server and and run private shard of MMOs if you want. On smaller scale you don't need a data center type one to run server logic. If we are talking about MMOs. Multiplayer shooter is even easier - just switch to P2P, it's not that hard, technology is as old as Internet itself. I don't even bother with singleplayer games, who should not have online element to begin with

 

[MrSlongDong]

No, lowering taxes and deregulating isn't some magic fucking spell you chant to summon businesses. Glad you admitted you have no idea what you're talking about.

You're waving goodbye because you got pinned to the wall. You built your whole argument on hating "state intervention" and then gargled the balls of a company propped up by over a billion in government subsidies.
This was never about whether taxes are high or low. It was about your incessant ballwashing of burgers.
But since you want to play dumb, let's talk about your magic formula. Ask the state of Kansas how it worked out for them. They tried the same thing, gutting their taxes with the same promises you're making. The result? Their economy tanked, they slashed funding for schools and roads, and their own Republican legislature had to reverse the whole goddamn thing because it was such a catastrophic failure.

So yeah, thank you and goodbye, buckbroken nigger. YWNBAA (You Will Never Be An American).

If you want to argue that technically the state lowering taxes and deregulating is actually still state intervention because the government is still technically intervening by stepping down, then you lost the plot. You just want to argue semantics because you have zero argument.

Kansas sounds like another AI generated response but at least you're smart enough to not copy paste it directly now. Kansas failed because it's fucking Kansas. It has nothing to create value in the first place. They just cut business taxes but in the US there are lots of states which have low corporate tax to compete with, and which have a much more more pro-business environment than Kansas. I don't know why I'm explaining this to you because you don't care. You are a peasant. Whatever I say you will feed to Chat GPT and ask it to respond to me. Go work for the civil service, I'm sure you can find a job in Brussels, you have exactly the skills and the mindset they want.

And no stalker, I will be an American because Mr Trump will come and save me and I will fly in the Air Force 1. Away from you nigger child. I know it will happen.

What? Me? He picked me to be an American

For online F2P games (most battle royal games) you have zero remedy if the servers go down. If you want to force Epic or Krafton to keep their game online or keep it playable when they want to shut it down, they'll never touch that shit again. The fact that you have the availability to buy cosmetics items in the shop inside the game, does not give you a right to take over servers or does not create an obligation for the company to keep the game in a playable state.

I see no problem with this outcome. And no there are multiple instances of free to play games that sold cosmetics being preserved in a *"playable" state. We are not looking to maintain the game "as is" merely the ability to still play and access the things you rightfully purchased. Bar a "playable" state the initiative would accept best efforts from developers essentially creating a fan kit for the community to figure it out themselves. *A "playable" state being defined as being able to boot the game and access gameplay, even in a hampered capacity IE: RPCS3 definitions of playability.

Spoiler: Definitions from RPCS3 visual

This is all preliminary and will still need to be debated by the commission and the industry representatives that they ask for input.

EDIT: Added links and clarifications.

 

[StacticShock]

Bitch no it fucking doesn't. The fuck are you even talking about? "Advanced Elastic Architecture." You fucking Maldbaby. Lemme list off some MMO's I can run a private server right now on my own shit and play by myself aka "IN A FUCKING PLAYABLE STATE"! Ahem...World Of Warcraft, Tera, Black Desert Online, Final Fantasy 11, Shin Megami Tensei Imagine, CITY OF HEROES, Star Wars Galaxies, Drift City, Ace Online, Aion, Aura Kingdom, Legend Of Mir 1-4, Perfect World, Silk Road, Your mom.

have they finally started the fires? ops, i mean, got a black desert online server working fine after that leak drama regarding the modern bdo client?
i still have the classic bdo server which you used devilspeak's client to login but i lost the HDD that had the client to connect to and the torrent has no seeders, dammit.

it is worth mentioning that BDO mapsize is at minimum 16GB of RAM, lol.

Can you clarify what this means?

a fancier control panel for multiservers.

GOD.
FUCKING.
DAMMIT.

So basically keep the lobby up so that players can gaze at their purchases? Why not. But then it needs to be something that (1) doesn't require the devs to give you proprietary codes or rights over any assets and (2) it needs to be completely offline (so basically just the lobby or an empty map) because they will not accept any form of connectivity for a game they no longer want to support. They also will not accept that their old game that they don't have control over anymore compete with a new product. They may also want to charge a fix fee to give you that offline version because it will still be a cost to offline the game and a guy who bought one item for 50 cents is not going to cover that cost. Even if you paid thousands in cosmetics, there is an understanding that when you are buying this stuff you are supporting the game, which is free to play but not free at all for the company to run so they needed the cosmetics money to cover operating expenses.

I still don't think it should be mandated and that it could damage something good. I think Free-to-play games should be completely left out. They are zoomer games that are doing incredibly well and when they go down (rarely) usually something better comes up. F2P multiplayers are one of the best thing about modern gaming.

Recently I played Apex on mobile because it was available on the Apple store for a few months. At the time, my PC couldn't run the game. After a few month, EA decided to remove it from the Apple store, probably because strategically they wanted to bring more people to PC and this was their publicity stunt to convince mobile fags to get a PC version. If you forced them to maintain the game, they would just not have put it on mobile at all and I would have never played that game. I wasn't mad that the game was gone. If you tab on the emotional reaction of people when they lose access to a game to obtain more control over what the industry does, you're probably going to win but it's not a good victory. I have said it before but if it's free and it's here today and gone tomorrow, that's just the nature of it. Using cosmetics as an excuse to force games to stay around is a bad idea in my view. If I bought cosmetics in the mobile version of Apex I would have lost them but that's kind of it. You can say that they should warn players if that is the plan so that you know in advance but I think they did have some kind of warning irrc. And sometimes plans change as well. Maybe if they had a huge player base they would have actually kept that game around.

 

[Vince McMahon]

You lost the plot the second you started defending government subsidies while pretending to hate "state intervention."

They just cut business taxes but in the US there are lots of states which have low corporate tax to compete with, and which have a much more more pro-business environment than Kansas.

And "Kansas failed because it's Kansas"? Lol, you absolute moron. That's the dumbest cope I've ever heard. You think that was a one-off? Louisiana tried the same trickle-down bullshit and drove their state into a ditch so deep they had to make cuts to hospitals and universities. Oklahoma did it too and ended up with such massive budget holes that schools had to shorten to four-day weeks because they couldn't afford to keep the lights on.
And it’s not just an American problem. Canada have been running the same failed experiment for decades, slashing corporate taxes with the promise of a job boom that never came. Instead, they got slower growth and a big pile of "dead money" as corporations just hoarded the cash instead of investing it. It's a failed theory, a scam that's been proven wrong time and time again in different countries and different economies.

That's not a valid political or coherent stance or even good baiting, dude, that's just sad.

He refuses to acknowledge the fact that the free market pipedream he's been sold is a fiction that could never exist because corporations would never allow it to. Corporations directly utilize tools like the ECI to push their agenda and have even more complex and expensive apparatus available to them to force the government to act in a manner they want.

It doesn't give you the moral high ground to not use these tools it just makes you a rape victim.

He's a dumb nigger who doesn't comprehend the grievance or the proposed solution or even the relevant overhead. He said it would be logistically different to make a physical game disc still playable from a digital game while fundamentally not understanding how software works.

@MrSlongDong You talk as if you play games 2 hours a week at most, and don't have a particular favourite multiplayer game that you enjoy, which makes me think, why you care so munch about SKG anyway? Don't you, as a hypothetical massive fan of league of legends (or any multiplayer game anyway), want to play in private tourneys or with friends after Riot Games shuts down their servers?

if we are tossing fav shit then i'll just put blacklight, they killed my boy because of VMTB2 but thankfully they got that game removed from their faggoty pawns because of their retarded incompetence and they cannot host BLR again because the account data is gone and no player would want to start from 0 again, especially the people that bought the gold package before parity patch.

before i forget, FUCK HARDSUITLABS.
no, blrrevive doesn't cut it, it's too fucking gay and needs groomcord, also it's the fucking parity patch version instead of the old PC version.

 

[Arnold Swollenmember]

But then it needs to be something that (1) doesn't require the devs to give you proprietary codes or rights over any assets

Why do all these retards bring this argument when the devs already gave you assets, binaries, code and consumer rights when they sold you the fucking game you installed and are playing, what's the big deal with including a tiny bit of extra multiplayer code that lets you connect peer-to-peer or use a direct IP

Nigger we already had all these solutions in place decades ago, I can still install Counter-Strike 1.6 and host a server on my computer, and you don't see me owning the CS IP over that, seeing it's still going strong with Valve (With official servers too, guess what, it also has self-hosted community ones on the side). We aren't asking devs to invent a new way to make multiplayer work without official servers, we're just asking them to stop making them mandatory, the only reason they made them mandatory was so they could turn off old games and sell us new shit every development cycle, it's not a development problem, it's a predatory business practice problem

 

[latinlover]

wo CASES nigger, Costa v Enel and Van gend en Loos

They establish the principles of SUPREMACY of EU law over national law. And sure you could argue that "directives" of the EU need to be implemented by the national parliament but there is no room to not implement them.

You don't understand the basic of the EU which is that local government DO NOT opt in. Why do you think we have so many anti-EU politicians? You think they are just against immigration.

We lost our national sovereignty. When the British realized their mighty Parliament couldn't do shit anymore they started packing.

Countries opt-in by voting, nigger. If enough people opt-out by opposing it, it dies before it becomes law. The lgtv strategy or whatever you were talking about is just a retarded policy document, literally has no power, it's just sperging from the European Commission.

You are also misusing case law, it isn't how the EU works. Why do you just assume one EU bureaucrat retard will smoke some crack and write a directive at 3 am in the morning that will insantly be valid? There's a pretty solid legislative procedure when it comes to laws like the potential lex SKG where national governments do have sovereignty in voting through the Council and indirectly through the EP.

Not to mention there were like 5 cases (the PSPP decision in particular being the most significant one) in Germany alone where the BverfG has held that if a certain EU law violates the country's constitutional identity they just don't give a fuck about it and will ignore it, nothing has come of it- not only that, but multiple countries like Hungary has followed suit and established that they only participate in the EU with constitutional limits. Even if supremacy of EU law is legally established in particularly divisive cases (which this one will certainly not be, none of the geriatric lawmaker zombies give a fuck) the EU is fangless.

Almost all EU member states with anti-EU heads of state (I'll ignore fringe far right euroskeptic parties in the west, noone cares) are net recipients who only use it as a piggy bank and throw shitfits when the flow of gibsmedat temporarily stops. There is literally no country in the EU where less than 55% of the population actively supports being in the EU, even in Hungary, the literal black sheep of the EU this number is like 70%.

It's also funny you mention the British, I'm sure the labor shortages, trade shitting itself, geopolitical disasters with Northern Ireland and Scotland, the influence they lost by not being at the big boy table and shaping the regulations and policies alongside their biggest trade partners, the tariffs, and last but not least academia losing access to shitloads of funding and other resources was worth leaving the EU for, Brexit was clearly a success story.

Ok first off you mush mouth retard, use the terminology that everybody else uses. It's a fucking scalable cloud service. Second You can run containers locally dumbass. Ever heard of ProxMox? You make your own scalable cloud solution if you really fucking want it to. THIRD! You LITERALLY have to setup the fucking code in the first place. It's all code. You think it's magic but it's not. It's a fucking executable running in a container. Containers are just more efficient than running it in a virtual machine fuck stick.

Oh. One thing I forgot to mention since this retarded faggot things the cloud is some magic witchcraft. It's not. You are just fucking retarded. The cloud at the end of day is just someone else's computer. That's all it is.

"Second Edit." This is what pisses me off the most. Mush mouth retards like Roach Software make bank off streaming and talking about shit they don't know anything about and saying big words like this fucking freak and yet the average person can't even find a fucking job anymore. Fuck you, fuck your favorite faggot roach streamer, I hope your sterile so you can never propagate your bloodline.

"Third Edit." Here's a fucking game you can host yourself. ON STEAM FOR FREE! This was an mmo called Perpetuum. The company shut down and just put the server files on steam and it's all FUCKING FREE!!

[The Entity]

If you talk about Norway in a discussion about the EU then I doubt you can provide any insight.

It's a pretty well known fact that Norway despite not being an EU member follows EU directives.
Dustborn having received funding from the EU isn't a secret either its literally 1 easy google search away from you.
"Additionally, the game received a grant of €150,000 from the EU's Creative Europe project,"

Again you don't seem to know much about the EU. You clearly have some sort of ideological view of it and will not allow reality to shatter it.

You must be living in an alternate reality then. The EU is the most rabid leftist cult in the whole world currently. I mean there is a literal antifa in the EU parliament that is wanted in Hungary for attacking people on the street and that is just one example.
But you could also bring up the millions of laws against hate speech, various pro fag directives, the feminist bullshit I mentioned, the NGO's that live off EU money and only exist to harass normal people for saying things they don't like and so on.

Have you ever been to the EU?

If you haven't managed to figure out by now I live in one of the hellholes that are in the EU.

Almost all EU member states with anti-EU heads of state (I'll ignore fringe far right euroskeptic parties in the west, noone cares) are net recipients who only use it as a piggy bank and throw shitfits when the flow of gibsmedat temporarily stops.

Those gibs are basically bribes to keep the politicians generally pro EU and allow German companies to easier exploit the population as a cheap labor force in those countries.

 

[MrSlongDong]

And "Kansas failed because it's Kansas"? Lol, you absolute moron. That's the dumbest cope I've ever heard. You think that was a one-off?

Instead, they got slower growth and a big pile of "dead money" as corporations just hoarded the cash instead of investing it. It's a failed theory, a scam that's been proven wrong time and time again in different countries and different economies.

The economy of Louisana and Oklahoma both took a dip because of of the oil crash of 2014 not because of tax cuts. Kansas is not a cope. If you cut taxes in Mongolia, that's not going to turn Ulan Bator into Shanghai. You're too small brain to understand how business work because you're a cuck on state support and because you don't want to understand. You'll never have a business, you'll never make a dime by yourself, you'll always be where you are now unless somebody opens the door for you and let you out for a piss and they'll bring you back in with a whistle and a kick in the butt. And you'll be happy about it.

You need to cut the red tape and lower the taxes and the place needs to be reasonably attractive. Ireland adopted the lowest corporate tax in the EU in the early 90's and their economy boomed as a result but they also cut the red tape especially for start-ups. The UK has one of the strongest economies in Europe but have far less state intervention and red tape than France or Spain or Italy (which are dump). If it's easy to fire people for example, companies will be less reluctant to hire people in the first place and grow. Back in the 2010's and even after the financial crisis, you could get hired off the street in the UK. I have seen it. I have seen people get job offers outside of pubs in the UK, that would never happen in France because you would have to go through three committees and follow a twelve months process to hire someone. That's why in countries like France where you can't fire employees they have extremely high unemployment. The problem is that a moron like you will hear "tax cuts are good for business" and then look up places like fucking Kansas or fucking Oklahoma that had tax cuts and a shitty economy and go "see! See! that's why you need STATE INTERVENTION and TAXES" that's called having a small brain and Chat GPT cannot fix that for you. I'm pretty sure you know nothing about these places either

Canada did become more competitive as a result of the tax cuts, otherwise why would they drain all of Europe's talent in tech? I know you just regurgitate things because that's what we were just talking about and we have been talking about this all day! Either that or you're just stupid. Probably both. Corporate taxes in Canada went from 28% in the 90's to 15% now. The problem is that Canada hasn't got that many companies compared to the US. The problem with Canada is that when Canadians are successful they tend to migrate to the US. Europoors migrate to Canada, Canadians migrate to the US. The US offers more and better opportunities. The culture is more aggressive, there is more cash available for business, less regulation, just more opportunity and more customers. It doesn't concern you though

 

[Another Random]

That makes slighty more sense but I don't think we fundamentally disagree. Where we may not agree is on the remedy and the type of games that this initiative targets.

- If you play an offline game that doesn't require servers for multiplayer and you paid for it, upfront, that game is your propert-ah sir and if the company remotely de-activate the game, you are entitled to a refund (the remedy point). If it was a physical copy of the game, then you'd be entitled to keep it. However, because it's a digital copy, you have to take into account situations where, for example, the whole platform would go down so I think a refund might be more appropriate.

- For games like WoW as you say yourself, it's a subscription model from the start so it seems we agree on this. The monthly fee is required to keep the servers up on the understanding that if the servers go down for whatever reason, the game won't be available to play anymore. If the company want to let people play the game on private servers after a decision is made to stop supporting the game, great, but not something you can force.

- For online F2P games (most battle royal games) you have zero remedy if the servers go down. If you want to force Epic or Krafton to keep their game online or keep it playable when they want to shut it down, they'll never touch that shit again. The fact that you have the availability to buy cosmetics items in the shop inside the game, does not give you a right to take over servers or does not create an obligation for the company to keep the game in a playable state.

Why are you ignoring the fourth option which is also the reason the initiative started?

A game you pay upfront, as you would the offline game that doesn't require a server, but HAS an online server for multiple reasons, INCLUDING single-player content, to the point where disabling the server renders the game unplayable. There is no monthly fee involved so this does not fall under a subscription model [or a free-to-pay model because the game was paid upfront, therefore it is not free]. A game like The Crew, where the servers were shut down at end of service, which later had a further punishment to players because Ubisoft decided to disable even more of the game after they realized they were getting a strong negative response, making it now lost media entirely.

According to Fagtree, this is a perfectly valid measure and customers and consumers and even consoomers alike should accept it because implementing offline mode on a game that did not require being completely online would be equally as hard as either system you have presented... even though Ubisoft later expressed intent on making both The Crew 2 and The Crew: Motorsport, games which are in the same category as The Crew [always-online, requires a server for all functions, including single-player], remain functional even after the servers go down.

Are you going to say that this is not something the initiative targets? That this situation could never be avoided because Ubisoft could not or should not have set apart a time to plan out how to turn off the servers without leaving the players empty-handed? Nobody was refunded after The Crew was shut down, as far as I'm aware.

 

[MrSlongDong]

@MrSlongDong You talk as if you play games 2 hours a week at most

Well kinda yes. I wish I had more time but life is life

and don't have a particular favourite multiplayer game that you enjoy

I'm not skilled enough to get into LoL but I have two favorite multiplayer games. One I have been playing since 2018 and I'm pretty good at.

Don't you, as a hypothetical massive fan of league of legends (or any multiplayer game anyway), want to play in private tourneys or with friends

The only hypothetical here... is the word friends

Shitloads of other non-political projects receive funding from Creative Europe including folk projects (which you could argue are right wing as they reinforce nationalism). ESG slop as much as it is a work of the devil is at least marketable and doesn't stick out too much to normies who are in committees in charge of choosing who gets these grants, it looks infinitely more 'normal' to someone who knows nothing about videogames than The Great Rebellion.
€150,000 also is only almost 1/8th of the amount (14 million NOK or 1.21 million USD) it got from the Norwegian Film Institute anyway, so blame Norway.

The EU is the most rabid leftist cult in the whole world currently. I mean there is a literal antifa in the EU parliament that is wanted in Hungary for attacking people on the street and that is just one example.

Holy fuck you're really making me defend Antifa, hats off to you, your baiting is impressive (if that's what you're doing). Ilaria Salis is the scum of the earth but she isn't alone in being a MEP as a far-something activist directly connected to politically motivated violent crimes -something something Ioannis Lagos (Golden Dawn, lynching random pakis)-, and she isn't the only violent criminal escaping justice through diplomatic or political immunity -Anne Sacoolas, who wasn't even a diplomat herself but the wife of Jonathan Sacoolas (both republicans btw) murdering a 19 year old in the UK and getting away into the US without serving a single second of jail sentence due to her husband's dipomatic status- .
Also in regards to Ilaria maybe blame the muh sovereign Italy, where she was elected to receive immunity and literally celebrated as a war hero once she returned from her arrest abroad. Hungary released her from house arrest due to a mixture of her political immunity and the extremely strong pushback from Italy, it wasn't just the EU. It wasn't Juncker or von der Leyen going "Damn, she's one of us, gotta save her! You're a MEP now." so thanks again Italian voters, very cool!

But you could also bring up the millions of laws against hate speech, various pro fag directives, the feminist bullshit I mentioned, the NGO's that live off EU money and only exist to harass normal people for saying things they don't like and so on.

Bring them up. Most laws against hate speech were sharpened for jews, not for fags. Something something 6 gorillion never forget.
What pro fag directives? You mean the employment discrimination directives that are similar, if not weaker than the supreme court rulings in the US?
By feminst bullshit I assume you mean Directive 2022/2381. This is a nothingburger compared to the US style DEI mandates for private corpos. It only applies to publicly listed companies, plus it doesn't even matter because it's not self-executing. Member states will do with it whatever they want.
How do these NGOs harass YOU in particular without law enforcement powers?

If you haven't managed to figure out by now I live in one of the hellholes that are in the EU.

I wonder which paradise of a country you must be living in where you have no more pressing non-political matters of state to care about and must larp as an honorary American to fight the good fight in the le gaymergate culture war against invisible hordes of trannies wanting to slice your throat in your sleep in Slovakia or wherever. You clarifying it as a hellhole is pretty telling, though.

Those gibs are basically bribes to keep the politicians generally pro EU and allow German companies to easier exploit the population as a cheap labor force in those countries.

Really? I thought cohesion funds are to support things like healthcare, education, innovation, and other infrastructure. I guess all these retarded eastern european crooks aren't really crooks at all and there is no way to not embezzle all of these funds as there's some hidden agreement where these 'bribes' can only be used to feed illiterate balkan oligarchs, you physically cannot use them to renovate hospitals- them's the rules.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know Hungary isn't that bad at all, at least they are protecting us from DEI! Also good to know that the only reason why there are eastern-european EU nationals working in Germany is because Fico gets his bribes, not because of market dynamics, cost competitiveness and EU single market rules. Free movement of capital and labor between member states sucks, I bet all the Hungarians and Romanians agree- they wish they could stay home instead of slaving away in a german corporation for quadruple the wages a same position in their original country would provide.
