Yea the one with the mummy

The EU Stop Killing Games thing is at 50% in a week

Wonder if it gets the 1M needed this month, or if it starts to really slow down

what is this?

a eu petition

to make it so if a game wants to be posted in the EU

The Ross Scott thing

once servers end

they need to have support after

as in offline server

etc.

i mean if it goes through

pretty op

I think Ubisoft really was the perfect storm to gather this kind of momentum in goverment

force nintendo to make open source servers

or just available

i dont think its about open source servers but more so

add offline support

for the game

once it ends

^

so like if your game requires server based stuff for it to be a complete experiecne

and then you kill the servers

oh

and have a game missing 90% of the content

or is LITERALLY unplayable

you can release server binaries as a solution to that, but offline support in any capacity is the aim

i would sign that if i was european

its essnetialyl so that once you take servers down, yoiu have to push an update to fix those issues

or add offline servers as an option

i think either would "count"

its just to prevent games becoming 'waste" when servers go down

since you know, theyre products you pay to own

is there an amount of the game that would need to be inaccessible for it to take effect?

i assume that would be decided when people drafted the law

it would apply to all future games sold in the EU

yeah but hes saying like

how much is needed for it to be required

oh

but like an MMO

I think if you have some single player offline gamemode it skirts the regulation

would

like would smash ultimate need a patch because online would be gone

if you have to pay the mmo and its not a sub

no

because it has LAN

and a story

its about games that literally just become ewaste

without online

smash is a complete game without online

same reason like KIU wouldnt count

lol

because offline 3ds servers

tragic but true

I think most of the time, releasing server software and bowing out

is probably the easiest route

yes

rather than a patch

remove online drm check

nontheless it would just be a great law to have to curb the direction we're going

games being always online dogshit

mfw diablo 4 servers go down

would gachas just die entirely?

i hope so

you odnt purchase gacha games

princess connect offline must return

gachas are also entirely single player games for the most part

oh it only applies to paid games?

i think it applies to games one can purchase

yes

because youre buying a product

^

I think more games go f2p in just euro

so a subscription mmo would not count

but a paid mmo

i.e. elder scrolls online

instead

would count

if they ever turned off its servers
