Stop Killing Games (EU edition) - Moldman vs. Publishers

DefinitelyNotMe said:
i still think it fits the definition of reasonably playable
i do understand why they want to remove it from the store - so the servers that they dedicated to it can keep up with the population
its not like the crew when it is just gone and no one play it in any state

brodie this is literally in the first few lines of the news:

We are sunsetting the game to focus on future developments. Starting on February 26, all in-game purchases and payments will be disabled. Players will still be able to access and enjoy the game using existing content and previously acquired items. The servers will remain fully operational:
  • PC versions: May 27th
  • Console versions: August 25th
After which the game and its online services will be permanently retired. Until the shutdown, we plan to thank you for your support with special in-game gifts and activities. More details will be shared soon.
  • Is Warface: Clutch shutting down for good?
Yes, MY.GAMES has made the decision to discontinue the Warface: Clutch project.

i mean sure you could try and find if a private server exists of sorts but having native "offline" support is much, much better and you stay under no whims of any programmerfaggot and their inevitable bitchfits.

being free or not is not the point of SKG

SKG is about games shutting down that you paid for. The entire point for starting it was that people who paid $60 for the crew could no longer play it despite being a single player game. F2P games are outside that bound, and would just muddy the waters with what is and is not "paying for the game".

Even got a e-mail, game has been active since 2013 or 2012 in russia, while russian version has zero mentions of shutting down this means only the international version will be killed, so...
since the main company is in amsterdam, could this death be used as example? hell, even highguard death could be used as example case too, at least one good thing that piece of shit game did was being a good example of games dying and everything being lost...

At least that game was playable far longer than any aaa live service slop
 
The cognitive dissonance some people will experience from cheering on the French felting Ubisoft for violating French law, while at the same time hating the French for felting their based Nigger Queen Candace Owen, will be hilarious to watch.

I hope we get a based EU law that makes it mandatory for companies shutting down a game to provide a toolkit for private server creation or release of the source code.

Ross has come a heckuva long way from Freeman's Mind and Game Dungeon man. Honestly he earns and deserves his W's. Moldman is our guy.

Just one more step up and he's at the UN! He's nearly as big as Anita Sarkeesian!

Christ, I'd even settle for just releasing the plain ol' server binaries (with private server names and API/license keys stripped out as appropriate) and a fucking README. That's literally all the assholes have ever had to do. But noooooo, they had to be pricks about it long enough to get something like SKG revved up, and they deserve the incoming reaming.

For once I'm actually rooting for the EU to be officious and borderline-overbearing about something. :story: C'mon, bureaucracy, aim your bureaucratic pain beams at something that actually deserves it.

There is a reason that when an industry is run by competent people, the axiom to never give the government a reason to regulate you is the rule. You can get away with far more by being productive and benevolent to your customers, but should you give them a reason to fix their gaze on your industry, rarely will they change and regulate just the cause for the attention.
 
Ross is something else. There is this humility and honesty he puts forth that I really haven't seen in anyone. I guess Null has some of that but he's really mean and Ross is nice. Both of them are real niggas is what I'm saying. He's the kind of guy who should probably be put in charge of everything because he absolutely doesn't want to be in charge of everything and would go grey in the first year of his administration.
 
The feature was way too "haha buddy".

The Crew is a racing game, not an autism simulator. Ubisoft pulled the plug and removed it from accounts. Generally, car games get pulled because the license agreements with the car companies expire. That is lame. The difference is they LITERALLY TOOK what was paid for. And said "Yup. Depreciated. Law is decided, too bad." And in the US, that's true, they do just get to take.

This is not unprecedented. There was speculation at the time that the Ubisoft forums were sunset for discord precisely because this decision would be unpopular and a chatroom would be easier to silence users with.

Also, they were really bad at moderating the forums.

that's cool but you haven't noticed this is about EU Laws and not US Jewdicial System, moldman is trying to get EU laws to force game publishers to stop being gay and find ways to let people continue supporting the games they don't want to, if it passes then they will have to find a way to let people do whatever they want with their games or lose the EU market for those that will change themselves, the corporate world is similar to nature after all and if you refuse to evolve and adapt, you will die.
