The universal rule of the internet remains true:

Prepare to get your shit punched in if you think you're beyond criticism.

 

[Nabeshin]

JUST for European countries to comply with them?

Yes and no. It's easier to make something available everywhere than creating multiple versions of it. Just take a look at the cookies consent(and a lot of GDPR requirements), type C on iPhone, a lot of environmental laws like RoHS are on almost everything you buy/uses and are EU initiatives.

With software you could do "region lock", like apple did by allowing third party stores and payment only on EU but they have the financial incentive for region locking it but in general, I don't think most companies would do it as maintaining 2 versions wouldn't be profitable

 

[limbdiction]

Yea that dislike ratio

It has been proven time and time again that these dislike extensions are bullshit.

Also, a-logs posting AI slop and suggestions of cowtipping are shitting up the thread, so let's try not to do that

Throwing my to SKG and Ross.

 

[Slamerella]

oh of course! im not gonna keep making games that feature him, I do have a few ideas in mind after this chud logic earthbound game, I want a hasans papers please or a sam hydes punch out. As far as meme games tho thats about it. Im currently workin on Samurai Stratagem very simple game its on steam as well if you guys want to check it out.

if you make an actual proper punch out spiritual successor and it's just parodies of people from creator clash/just awful creators i will find a way to personally fund you or promote the shit out of that.

 

[ScurvyRat]

It has been proven time and time again that these dislike extensions are bullshit.

then you wouldn't have any problems sourcing this, reliably, from multiple outlets, since its been proven "time and time again"

This one would be fitting, but he doesn't use jsons. One global array is 20% faster after all.

[CatharticShitHead]

Let's put away the thread shitters, let's put away the whole politics of SKG and whether it'll pass (huffing hopium and copium over here but let's be honest, I don't think the initiative will get to 1 million signatures). Let's get back to who the thread's about for a second. Jason "CorpoWhore Thor". With all these middle of the road normie youtubers, specifically moist Charlie and fat Tectone, making the most softest criticisms do we think that Jason will sperg out even harder?

Or do we think that him slowly malding in his stream is the max he'll get to? I'm kind of hoping for another youtube video where he talks out of his ass. It's funny, but most importantly it gets the normies mad and they shit up his comments. Even his own fans are saying shit like, "You know? I used to find you respectable! ". It's obvious that Jason cares way too much about his online perception, hence the fake deep voice and the need to look like he's the smartest guy around even while admitting that he doesn't know everything. I imagine if more normie tubers start in on him, Jason will eventually crash out.

EDIT: as soon as I post this, one of you posted his essay of a xeet. Yikes

Uploaded on Rumble and Odysee.


Can you upload the audio you got to Files.vc or Gofile? The reason I'm asking is this:

View attachment 7555611
@I mean I'm just saying's VOD is 9:28:35

View attachment 7555616
Twitchtracker says that the stream was going for 9 hours and 30 minutes.

Is your version the same as @I mean I'm just saying's or is it longer than 9:28:35?

I deleted it after downloading his VOD and checking that it had audio. I got it from Youtube which is the same length according to my screenshot in a previous post.

looks like he already deleted the video. Hopefully you got it in time.

He took down the Youtube VOD mid-download.

My honest reaction:

It's the leftist wall of text meme, made reality.
JASON NO ONE CARES!!! NO BODY GIVES A FUCK!!!!

Unless its an honest and heartfelt apology, there is nothing he can do or say to save him from whats coming.

Lets be real, if he turned face and genuinely came forward and said "I fucked up, I'm sorry." he could have a whole new renaissance, the stream would be back on the upswing.

But he'll never do that.

 

[MercuryMan]

Mald did a bait and switch off his previous aggressive, delted tweet.
He now says he left AAA, really cares about the games industry as a whole, and that he's a single player RPG dev (lmao).



He also gives the exact same corpo shill points that making games accessible after EoL would destroy studios.
He knows what community hosted private servers are but is intentioaslly making it seem like Ross is asking them to completely rebuild games.
Its the typical shill script of addressing change to the big industry as harmful or impossible.

 

[Red Crayon]

You can tell this guy to his face he is wrong, with every single argument he brings up being contradicted, after that he will start to double down. I can't wait for him to cope that he is being "bullied" and "threatened" again lmao.

Been reading through all of the posts against me over my stance on the Stop Killing Games initiative. Tons of people calling me a liar or that I misrepresented the initiative. Also lots of content creators dogpiling on this to get their pound of flesh.

Lets dig into what I actually did and said. I put out two videos on August 6th 2024 and August 7th 2024. These videos are linked at the bottom of this post. Many people have not watched them and are just calling me a liar or attacking my character. Give the videos a watch, read the initiative itself, make a conclusion that you aren't copy pasting from social media.

Monetization on these videos is disabled so no this is not some ploy to increase revenue. I just care about this subject and have rightful concerns as a person working in this space.

In the first video.

I go through what an initiative is, how it's not law, and how it's a starting point for this entire process. This helps people understand that this is to start the conversation for change and can adapt later.

I then go through the initiative and some of it's goals from the official page for it. I then talk about the repercussions of them should they be implemented. As written all games need to be left in a "Functional Playable State".

Next I bring up The Crew and walk through the business around it, the sequels, and the size of the player-base at time of sunset. I did this because it was called out by this initiative as an example of publishers destroying a game.

I also harshly critique Ross Scotts wording in his videos because they disparage the lawmaking process and lawmakers which doesn't benefit players or this movement in any way.

In the second video.

I talk about potential scenarios where a studio could be abused if the initiative was implemented as written. It adds new paths for abuse and that needs to be discussed to help hone this initiative into something that would do good without doing harm.

I then explain that very few people in the game development space can actually discuss this from the other side due to fear of losing their jobs. A studio is much safer in silent dissent then they are discussing the drawbacks of your ideals. The recent attacks on our games is obvious evidence of this.

To recap.

My main issue with this initiative is that it is broad in it's approach to change the industry and the exact language of the initiative, not the FAQ, requests that all games stay in a "Functional Playable State".

This is not feasible for all games at a technical level and could potentially restrict developers from making online-only games like MMOs, MOBAs, and User Generated Content games in the future. That list is not exhaustive and it doesn't matter if you do or don't like those kinds of games.

Effectively this has the potential to restrict future developers from making kick-ass experiences because it locks a weight on their designs.

Even though this is an initiative that can change in the future this goal is core to the mission and deeply disruptive so it needs to be called out.

To clear up some disinformation about my character.

I left AAA in 2016 because I fucking hate how the industry is now and prefer indie entirely. I don't like Blizzard or I would have stayed working there. That's why I quit. That's the entire point. Fuck AAA and what many studios have turned games into.

Outside of that no I am not financially supported by live service games. I make a single player RPG and am the Director of Strategy for offbrand games. In that position I am paid MINIMUM WAGE by my own decision because I care about games succeeding not about profiting off of them.

To further this the games we're publishing are all playable offline anyway because their gameplay loops are not only based on inter-player interaction. Not all games are like this and not all games can be like this.

No, I have not been running away from discourse on this I talked about it for around 8 hours on stream yesterday. I never took my videos down and I have not discussed the initiative in the 10 months it's been since I released those videos. My internet also died mid-broadcast so I had to go live again 30 minutes later. Thanks ISP.

For those that will scream HE'S DOUBLING DOWN. Yes I damn well am. I give a shit about this initiative and what it means for games, developers, and players in the future.

To finish out.

Just because I don't support this doesn't mean you should blindly follow me in that just because I said pretty words on the internet. You also shouldn't blindly bash me because some other creator said Linkto. Watch the videos I put out, read the initiative, decide for yourself. Apply critical thinking and don't outsource it to others.

As always.Stay Frosty.

It makes me so fucking mad how he doesn't actually confront the rebuttals Ross made in his video because he knows he can't do that without making himself look bad. God damn weasel coward.

Even more retarded, Mald says he talked about this for 8 hours yesterday... his 9 hour stream was privated removed by the uploader. The URL still works, the video is on Youtube's servers, he has it privated. Mald is a dangerous (for himself) combination of disingenuous, stupid, and incompetent.

How is it real. It reads like PR write up for some company.
He had to just goof around C-sute all day in Blizzard and his mind is just molded into corporate slop.

He truly is personification of corporate culture. Toxic positivity and blame shifting.
