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

SKG should just stick to its current focus and not get mixed up in other stuff and dilute its message. If they manage to actually influence EU policy under the SKG initiative as is, I think then they could think about looping in relevant causes, but not until they reach their primary goal.

I find the fairness act to be a bit broad for my taste in what it's claiming, but I think this was a good point by Ross. This is the trajectory of gaming. This is what they wanted and thought they could get away with over a decade ago, and if something doesn't give it'll slowly go back to that point.
He didn't even mention the original xbone required the kinect as part of the console, which added another 100+ to the pricetag. The kinect would also be used to count how many people were watching a movie/game to enforce private use of media only. People asking if the kinect was optional was told the xbone was built around the kinect and it couldn't be removed. Of course, once market research came in kinect was gone.
I can't find the video but I remember the leader of the xbox division say something like "If you want to own your games we have a product for you, it is called the xbox 360".
I swear I recall a scenario where Xbox was going to have some kind of game sharing feature for digital titles
I remember something similar. It was meant to allow you to share discs with others, even when games are all linked to your gamertag. Seeing how now all games are digital only and linked to your gametag with zero methods to share, they were actually generous with that alternative.

SKG just wants to piggyback on the form, not support any other points on that list. It is a bit iffy since it seems that adding things to it implies implicit support of the already existing points, but Ross just wants this to happen.

I swear I recall a scenario where Xbox was going to have some kind of game sharing feature for digital titles, and people were too retarded to understand it and thought Xbox was trying to prevent them from trading games at all. That was when Playstation did that shit where they just handed a physical disk to each other and ooked and gooked about how easy it was. Was I huffing paint?
No, the whole point was that there was not going to be any sharing of used discs and definitely no sharing of digital titles. PS4 included backwards compatibility and no DRM for discs and so they blew Microsoft out of the water.
 
God... when are we Euroniggers going to have to stop carrying everything on our backs

Until the Americans stop choking down 10 litres of coke, shove down fake cheese their throat and watch nigger TV +8 hours per day. We still have to direct their consoomer habits from killing them.

The issues at hand have little to do with individual consumption habits and more to do with judicial precedent set in the 90's and a strong corporate lobbying industry.

Microsoft pushed super hard in 2013. Luckily gamers gave a no so hard that it tanked the brand to no hopes of reaching 2009ish levels of popularity.

You know what this reminds me of? Where the internet is headed in the next 5-10 years. But who nose.
 
Also I know that most posts are probably just nu-4chan contrarianism, but Poe's law is too powerful
I have coworkers that are turbo consumers manifest and are unironically against anything that prevents a company from raping consumers on a daily basis because stopping companies from doing that would "reduce freedom".

There's no reason not to pursue all possible avenues. They're not going to reopen the Digital Fairness Act for further commentary by gamers if SKG simply gets a "no" from the European parliament.

What looks to me is that people commenting on the Digital Fairness Act not only have the chance to support the goal of attaining ownership of games you buy in the future but also potentially get the opportunity to squeeze the balls of corporations on other practices that suck.
 
Put down your bets folks!... will we hit 1.500.000, before the deadline 31-Jul-2025 ?
