That's really pathetic. I guess that means they weren't bribed enough. I bet you they'd be putting their fancy feet down if a few hundred million dollars fell out of the sky into the right accounts.

He's going to sit behind his microphone so you can't tell how short he is say something like,

"Well, I suppose that settles that, mmm? [effeminate off mic cough not captured by the voice deepening software]"
 
this is punishment for whites not voting or supporting the "right" things on immigration and israel btw. also video game companies would find it cheaper to just make games people want to play so they dont have to shut them down in the first place tbh.
 
This was always going to be the result. What mattered about this petition was now we have evidence that people tried to approach this through legal means and their politicians told them to pound sand. If someone ever does gain political power in a country that could really do something about this (and copywriter/IP laws in general) this is just another example of a media industry operating against the will of the people, and thus justification for a heavy handed reform.

Honestly, and this isn't a call to action, but if he did, I WOULD NOT be shocked at him getting alogged hard. I was under the impression this last year that this ONLY wasn't happening because skg was PERCEIVED to be doing well.

Now that its seemingly dead in the water, all the times people behaved to save skg pr probably won't happen anymore. And no disrespect to Ross, but his calls to be nice mean basically nothing now

arent most of these companies bleeding like a stuck pig? seems like you could easily just effect their margins even with modest boycotts if they dont roll out an end of life plan from the getgo. its also not political so they wont have outside considerations in giving in to the demands or not

I don't know if boycotts really work because it doesn't seem like any of the recent disasters in AAA have made an impact beyond Ubisoft. I also have to push back on it not being political, or I'm not understanding what you mean by not political. This was literally a petition forwarded to the EU parliament. If that doesn't show a level of political power by the industry, I don't know what does.

To nobody's suprise, the commission will do nothing

Interesting way to read the announcement.
It literally says customers may be entitled to refunds if a service is terminated.

Anyone who expected that a legislative body would suddenly decide: "No! All games have to remain available forever!" is obviously retarded.

This is a LEGISLATIVE process, not a court room.
If you want an injunction you need to go in front of a court who has jurisdiction over the particular publisher who owns a game and win.

The commission will take up the issue and gather opinions and options for solutions, explore consumer rights and consider how legislation can be created to cover this.
This has always been the obvious next step.

The EU's final response was predictable, but Ross should feel pride that he even got this far. Furthermore, the cretin Maldavius Figtree was destroyed in the process. Like the ending of True Detective with Rust and Marty: we got our guy.

Yeah, I'm not surprised at the end result. There is a bright side though, and that is showing people that the EU doesn't give a fuck about its members, only what gives it an advantage.
 
First time I'm hearing about this.
So the EUcucks managed to get a million-signature citizen initiative about videogames going, but never bothered to organise for something actually meaningful like, I don't know, migration or economy policies? lol.
