Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
Kind of crazy how the worlds spinning out of control at the same time as this and exposure of certain situations, sheesh they got plans on top of plans, distractions on top of distractions. Very interesting otherwise, they tried to adopt the confusion added video of buttthorn as an excuse to say games can't be "forever",… -
Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
I figured this was somewhat relevant to us, as we make art for games. It's a European Citizens Initiative, currently at 652,366 signatures at a 65% requirement for the UK parliament to recognize it. If you are in favour of these terms & are a citizen of a country in the EU, the deadline for signatures is 31/07/25. From the… -
Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
I do wish there were easy/legal ways to "walk around" live service games that get killed. Even a 1.0 offline version that feels dead is vastly better than a game completely disappearing. I do get some games wont fully function without online aspects, and there's games like Fortnite with 32 seasons and Path of Exile with… -

I'm definitely adding some kind of end of service / retirement… -

Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
I gotta say this is really a dirty trick and I suspect greedy investors. The only only online game I have ever bought was Dragon's Dogma' and it had already been offline for about 2 years. No discussion about the difficulty of making it single player. Every game I own can be put offline and still function. Let the buyer… -

zetheros said: I was expecting to be enraged by that video (default state of being tbh) but I wasn't entirely. This isn't even all that unrealistic for new projects/engines - It is extremely unrealistic though, if you're someone who works on a legacy codebase containing thousands of instances where some code doesn't appear… -

If this is forced or applied too bluntly the 70dollar game that stops working after 5 years will turn into a 20 dollar a month subscription that stops working after 5 years. I support the spirit of this fully. I don't think you can effectively legislate it -
Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
yeah I wasn't sure what to think, was mostly in favour but thought it wasn't really necessary because players find a way to preserve games already. Seems pretty legit though, shame I can't sign it
