This whole thing only exists because people are physically incapable of closing their wallet.
In any case this is 100% DOA anywhere it gets pitched. Being able to spin up a discontinued game, use the associated models, and potentially even make money off it would be a massive erosion of ip rights and i dont know how you can realistically sidestep that.
On one hand, this sucks and it would've been great if things passed.
On the other, Ross himself stated in his last video that this sounded possible [what with them being asked repeated questions of the 'so do you guys WANT the companies to keep supporting games forever?' kind], so I'm not surprised either. Still, as he points out, things are different now than they were when he started this campaign and it looks like California might get a bill that actually works, and if it does, that can have a domino effect. Plus France, Germany, and Australia are still doing their own internal investigations on The Crew that don't have to do with what just happened, and the EU Commission failing us doesn't stop political approaches.
So yeah, this sucks, but still, you guys are dooming too hard right now. Did none of you watch this?
I am kind of not surprised to be honest, given the sheer amount of Censorship they are enforcing on the Internet liberally.
A huge portion of these people might not be white or even Jewish either.
Long story short the EU NEEDS to die, if it doesn't, then it is only a matter of time before everyone in the world is forced into that sort of worst case communist revolutionary doomsday scenario conspiracy theorists warned about back in the 90s.
These euro karens are in full control before their heads get lopped off by the islamic hordes and are in full 'we're going to shit on gamers and techies all we can, suck it. Oh and we need more white girls raped and slaughtered. Games? LOL'. These people want the natives all dead in europe. You'd think maybe they'd realize that gaming is a distraction to their victims for awhile, but I think they're more just suffer and die now cause they don't need to pretend anymore.
Here's a relevant clip from that video, going over how they're still making progress with the EU Parliament regardless of the commission's decision: skg clip.mp4
(This clip is a minute and a half long. Can @Null pay attention that long?)
Not only this, I think something that's important to mention is that having judgments and laws specifically on the books that show governments setting precedent of companies fucking people is a much worse look than merely having a convenient grey area to exist within where the law is completely nonspecific. Ross himself has said as much - even having a definite "you absolutely do not own the things you buy" is preferable to that sort of ambiguity because it's easier to be outraged about and move against.
Moldman, Moldman, can't you see?
Game publishers need to hang from trees.
And I just love your game preserving ways,
I guess that's why they have two moms and you're so great.

theyve closed their wallets pretty hard already since the industry is having to downsize, and the rights arent eroded anymore than people already make fan characters and works that rake in money. even people covered on this site have made money with works featuring other people's characters and designs.
Now that the only way to play video games without the publisher stealing it from you after 3 years, is by pirating.
Online storefronts will become useless DRM dispensaries and kernel level anti-cheaps will become the default. I'm just going go play Playstation 3 and wait for the industry to die
What really pisses me off about all this is that they're unironically parroting the lobbying line of "expecting publishers to keep supporting a game until long after it's sold" when that was never the goal. The entire point was that publishers would need to have some kind of plan in place that allowed people to keep playing the game after it's been sold; the only obligation on the publisher is what form that takes. Yes, according to Ross, this doesn't mean much for the SKG movement, but the fact they're citing publisher bullshit still pisses me off to no end.
Piracy does not solve this problem since it does nothing to alleviate the problem of games dying because the servers went down. If piracy was the solution there would be no need for SKG in the first place.
