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)
 
how is it?

I'm more surprised that any large creators came out against this faggot in the first place seeing as how he was a top streamer in the "correct opinion" ecosphere.

Maybe we should give the credit to OnlyFangs since they were the catalyst for the first controversy that showed the kind of smug retard Mald truly is. Without them someone like Charlie probably wouldn't have had the balls to speak on something so blatantly obvious.
btw vx-underground making fun of him is probably the most impactful "khantent creator" that came out. And that's just a faceless twitter account and not even a "khantent creator"
 
It's the fact that he was a Blizzard employee that's the cherry on top for me. It just makes so much sense that he'd be against this. The Work ID from Blizzard probably talks to him like the green goblin mask.
It is kinda funny that Ross started out making machinima for Valve games.
A company that has over the years fostered and even hired people from the modding community, as well as releasing the source codes for some of their games.

Then we have Mald, a Blizz corpo shill. A company that put always online into their games and put out a EULA that stated that custom maps for WC3 was owned by them, and this happened mostly because Valve got their hands on DOTA.
 
wow i cant believe every mmo just suddenly exploded and also its illegal to make and sell them now
This is the world I want. This is what I voted for.

Total MMO Death.

Or how about just not having retarded restrictive laws in place? Instead of relying on like a central legalisative body of unelected communists to decide when to make a new tech mandatory or not.
See, I'm anti-regulation, too. But "live service" is a scam, and everyone knows it.

Libertarian capitalism requires a strong moral foundation, or it falls apart. You need to know what is in your rational self-interest, which sometimes isn't "let's fuck our customers over in hopes of a little more money".

Had companies simply committed to producing quality games that catered to the desires and best interests of their customer base, no regulation would be necessary. That's the "free market"; you provide quality, competitive goods and services at the best prices in response to market needs. Instead, game companies chose to collude with one another in producing a highly restrictive, anti-consumer digital environment that introduces artificial scarcity and actively precludes their customer's desires - such as the desire to OWN WHAT YOU BUY, the desire to mod and tinker to your heart's content, and the desire to continue using what you buy, even after the company flops and kills their servers two years in.

It's really fucking easy: you have an MMO or online featured game, you give players an option to host their own server. It's not a new concept, it's not hard to code, and even if you're dead scared of piracy, you can at least have the common fucking decency to facilitate player hosting as part of the final patch before your DEI practices catch up to you and cause you to close shop for good.

Or, you get assraped by "unelected communists". Pick one.

(also, it's kind of funny to see the pro-industry side act so worried about regulation, when the gaming industry has itself leaned on regulations for ages - especially IP law, which is one of the most bloated and commie regulatory practices in history)

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)
Not concerned yet.

God Willing, brother, one day we will get there.
 
Wheeheee

it's featurefaggots that don't know where the SKG thread is, mald hasn't said anything yet too so let's enjoy the confetti for now.
While I am a featurefaggot, I hate Mald too now, because how he treated Ross. Should I fuck off to the SKG dedicated thread? I like both SKG and shitting on the ferret fucker.
