"B-bbut this will kill games that can't be turned to single player!"

If a game studio:
1. needs to have an online component in their game
2. can't come up with a plan to patch out that online component when the servers go down during the years they have to prepare to keep the game playable (even if that plan is just throwing in godmode so everyone can solo raids if they want)
3. can't come up with server tools to let players host their own games
4. can't figure out a plan to legally release the server code to let players develop their own server tools
5. HAS to sell the game with an up-front cost rather than making it free or subscription based, both of which would place it outside of SKG's proposal (hence why braindead retards crying about MMOs and gacha need to shut up because 99% of gacha are f2p and won't be affected anyway)

Then the game is probably a shitty cash grab anyway, and no one should mourn the loss of it being strangled in the crib and the resources making their way to real games.

The only potential downside I can see arising from the initiative is companies moving to free-to-play games in order to keep their games under the actual legal definition of services. But I think the markets for f2p games and paid ones are pretty distinct. The companies who remember how to implement an end-of-life plan during development will keep selling full price games at negligible extra cost and end up with an advantage.
 
Have you guys heard the new cope? People are now saying he acted like a retard on purpose to whip the internet hate machine into a frenzy to get signatures.

I can see our gnome abuser doing that
 
from what i understood, it checks if your steam id and/or steam name correspond to games that are used to spoof or emulate steam itself like Space War and IGG games
which , considering the troon game dev in the video just deleted that bit of code and the game still worked, is probably a hacky, retarded solution that probably wont work
even if it works you can take MAYBE 10 minutes to change names of literally anything that is needed to bypass checks as the emulators and client loaders are open source:

even then the loaders come with a config file that lets you rename modules:
1751671750106.webp

literally drag and drop 4 files into the game and now youre a better hackerman than ferreted bundy
for the 'appid = 480' stuff, there's way more than just spacewar as a placeholder for unreleased games, it just happens to be the most popular one, so that can be changed as well.
for the "76561197960287930" steam profile id, that's gabe newell's steam profile, i guess lord gaben offends ferret fuckers
 
I'm very late, but I just want to say that the "developer" from Rossmann's second video is dumbfucked enough to be Mald with his gay voice changer/EQ disabled. Holy shit, I fucking hate this retarded niggerfaggot so fucking much.🎩
something about that guy made it hard to watch and give a shit about his input, on top of the fact that half the time his mic was cutting out and hard to hear what he was even saying.
not to shit up the thread but can i get a tldr on wtf he was even talking about

edit: nvm im late and gay as hell holy cow, did not see the extra pages

King roach the Ferret Fucker went on stream talking a bit about SKG and why he "left" Offbrand Games.

Notable points

  • Claims it was his own idea to leave the company.
  • Claims he got swatted on Tuesday after a message saying; "YOUR TIME HAS COME"
  • Says its impossible to track the guys who swatted him because they used a "VOIP number" (This is not true and a very fucking retarded, Feds can ask his provider to track it down.)
  • "Hope they give you want you want instead of actually what you ask for" Does not elaborate on what he means, Threatens to ban anyone mentioning SKG.

You're forgetting the most important thing: Mald will hate you if your name is Goldberg. What a disgusting antisemite.

Good afternoon lads, apologies for the delay but I decided to clip today's take on what's going on with him and his earthbound clone.

How to defraud Steam (and Gabe Newell):
Step 1: I find game
Step 2: I buy game
Step 3: Game sucks
Step 4: I leave review
Step 5: I refund the game according to Valve's refund policy
 
Why doesn't he just pay some retard to finish the game for him?
Because it has always been a scam. He isn't the first one to realize that having a game in a permanent development state is much more lucrative than finishing the game, his game is just so simple from a technical perspective it doesn't really have plausible deniability like some others do. Once he saw that there was more money in pretending to be a game developer streamer than releasing the game, it was an easy decision for Mald. If you take literally thousands of hours of him having his Matrix Notepad++ open pretending to do game development on stream while talking about how he worked at Blizzard, you won't find a single clip of him actually writing a function.

I hope once the SKG arc is over there will be room for him to be exposed for his completely transparent game development scam.
 
Typical lefty mentality. "Yeah lets just ignore everything else and make crap up"


Oh boy i just woke up and trump won the presidency. I just wanted to say that i think its okay for some commies to get paid for doing nothing.
I dont think we should contribute to American society and have to be a literal slaves instead of playing videogames and getting high"
 
But I guess they moved into this market behavior solely because they wanted to strip down as much consumer rights as possible, so it's not out of the question them literally going bonkers if this ever passes.
If companies like bandai ban 160 countries from playing their entire library because the laws on internet security haven't been updated to say "We do allow big companies to put spyware in your computer glory to the asian empire" and sony does this shit, yeah it isn't, and that's what I've been saying.

It's a retarded move no doubt, but it's optimistic to think they won't try it.

Actually it is... With positive reviews that is!
View attachment 7601883
Before any SKG drama he would average ~50% positive in recent reviews, now its 76% with a massive spike after the Ludwig tweet(june 26th).
Pretend you're getting review bombed so mouth breathers who can't understand what is in the screen right in front of their eyes give you positive reviews in mass to counter the "negativity". So heckin' wholesome!
 
I don't know if this was mentioned earlier in the thread but I'm assuming it hasn't. I want to put an example of a online game where the publisher shut down due to financial reasons, an older mmo. They made the game free on steam and distributed the server files on steam also for free. ANYBODY who used to play this or heard of it can quite literally host their own server for friends or play the game by themselves.
Even if a MMO used a couple dozen of hardware and different servers. It will need an easy rewrite to self reference it to docker instances and call it a day. It doesnt need 400 IQ rocket science to fix.

I think the SimCity (2013) launch proved this point better than any example ever since. They got a lot of pushback prior to launch (and even after launch) for insisting on making it an always-online game that required constant server interactions because the "intelligent agents" that made the game work couldn't be done client-side and just had to rely on their uber-powerful server hardware to function.
Oh yeah I just didnt had the capability to play proper games until 5 years ago. I missed most of games past the 2004 mark
