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

[The Tall Man]

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

The gaming industry like every other entertainment industry is propped up by Jewish bankers and governments.
In gaming specifically, a bad game might cause the bankruptcy of a development studios but not a big publisher.
Also most of the people who made those games that failed will get rehired.
Publishers basically cut off those developers to rid themselves of negative reputation and debt.
People are gullible and think they are giving money to a dev when they buy a game, when in reality they are giving money to the publisher.
If you buy the good game from a big publisher you are funding all the shitty games.
With services like game pass this whole thing becomes even blurrier.
This is why you should only support true indie games, games with no connection to governments or big publishers.
It is hard to guess what amount of their money comes from gamers directly supporting a game.
ESG like constructs infuse more money (your own money since Blackrock can issue credit directly from the fed so you are paying for their money with your inflation) into some games than anything gamers spend. Government grants and subsidies are also becoming bigger and bigger.

Jewish Bankers and Governments don't spend that much of your money on gaming because they are passionate gamers.
They want propaganda and since their goals for society are different than what gamers want or what is the reality right now they really want to delete or update the past to increase the speed of transformation.

If past media updates with the new normal then it takes away that point of comparison for regular people and reduces resistance.

Of course...


A reminder that "Intellectual property" is both a nonsensical fantasy and fallacious concept imagined up by big media/business as cope. One with no rational or legal basis. What they really mean is "copy right".. Speaking of which:

CR law and especially the DMCA, needs to be burned to the ground and only then thought about rebuilding. (The CR law part, NOT the DMCA)

Pretty much every aspect of modern CR law is counter to what it actually is, as it was originally intended! A short term protection on copying (and selling) a full artistic work.. A few years or so, not a century. To ensure the creator can make some money off of it, so that others with money can't come along and sell it out from under them, and thus incentivize the creation of more works. That is the SOLE legal and ethical basis for CR. (It was certainly never intended (abused) to protect aspects and little details of sold works or from modification by owners, with or without the help of anyone else. And sure as hell was never meant to be abused as a means of protection for things like DRM or as a blanket power grab over someone else's hardware via loopholes like firmware etc.) It was never an acknowledgment of or conferring of ownership rights to CR works on creators. Morally, ethically or LEGALLY!

Spoiler: DMCA stuff

DMCA makes the problems with current CR law 100 times worse. It offers CR claimants the ability to sit back and do/prove nothing by making legal claims first and forcing the target to either do what they want or basically prove innocence. It takes away the responsibility on the CR claimant to prove infringement and loss in court, and puts it on everyone else to comply or face huge legal risk. Without ever having to prove or even show anything.. just a claim. That's not how or legal system works. It throws fundamental principles of the very foundation of law and justice, out the window.

It can't be overstated how outrageously it twists law and fairness. Nor can it be overstated how important the overturning of DMCA would be. Doing so would mean they (people making CR claims) actually have to do something.. It takes effort and time to identify claimed infringers in any sort of useful way, let alone to a legal threshold. And, most importantly, it means they actually have to make and prove a case. So instead they abuse the worst most damaging elements of the already (arguably) extra legal and dystopian disaster known as the DMCA. The guilt by "trust us" system it sets up to make take-down threats etc.

DMCA needs to go ASAP regardless. For a whole bunch of other reasons too. Particularly the dangerous elements of it that turn civil matters (CR claims) into criminal matters in the most overly reaching, scorched earth tactics way possible. The criminalization of DRM systems, regardless of whether or not content, protected or not, was even involved at all. It basically criminalizes doing things with YOUR hardware that media companies don't like. It's the end around and violation of end-users rights to control their hardware and do with their owned media what they will. (like making legal backups etc.) All made de-facto illegal if CR systems are used to prevent you from backing media up. Guilt by default.

CRs are now used to perpetually protect big businesses ability to artificially create scarcity and limits, forcing people to buy works over and over again, oftentimes in place of creating anything new. Counter to the entirety of it's purpose. Or worse, sitting on protected media, making no attempt at making a release available. (old games etc) Not actively selling a work is instantly grounds for loss of protection. Just one of many modern abuses of the concept.

EU : "No we won't force WoW to become a singleplayer offline game just for you, reddit troon."
GAMER : "OKAY THATS IT IM PIRATING EVERYTHING!111"

Whats weird is there are already several options for this that were reverse engineered by users

Blizzard, which has been circling the drain for a decade now, has been stomping on them as they crop up like weeds choking one of their last remaining sources of revenue. If it were law that the customer has a right to repair the product they purchased, and as such they are in perfectly good standing to produce and distribute these repaired versions, then:
A. blizard would die sooner (good)
B. people could play offline WoW if they were a crazy person who enjoys WoW

European polishitians doing nothing that benefits or protects the rights of the people who vote for them. How revolutionary. And they can't figure out why their people are starting to riot in the streets,

Blizzard, which has been circling the drain for a decade now, has been stomping on them as they crop up like weeks choking one of their last remaining sources of revenue.

That's not quite what happened. They were letting the third party servers operate for all of their games. It was when the server owners would monetize things where Blizzard would get involved. There are tons of unofficial servers for games that never have any issues with being taken down. This has been an issue with Diablo games as well because of people trading items for real world cash (something Blizzard tried to implement for Diablo III).

There was one World of Warcraft unofficial server where the owner was living in a $6 million mansion in Reno paid for by microtransactions from his unofficial server. His house was just put up for collateral during a RICO trial. It's 17300 Majestic View Dr in Reno if you want to find it. The woman who ran the Scape Gaming server had at least $3 million traceable to her private World of Warcraft server before Blizzard sued her and won.

Blizzard only gets involved when people charge money for unofficial servers. They always left the Diablo and Starcraft/Warcraft communities alone for their various mods and third party servers. They've even hired some of them to work for them in the past.

Up to the point of making sales they have no grounds to actually do anything. Imagine if repair shops were shut down for 'monetizing' the IP of another business by repairing and re-distributing their product

Limp-wristed, limp-dick-faggot eurocunts being eurocunts, who would have thought it.

EU can't even protect consumers, so like what does it have left?

They are excellent at organizing legendary gay orgies

Except Kalergi didn't want to create a slave race, he was a naïve idealistic moron who thought the disappearance of racial boundaries would bring about eternal peace.

To nobody's suprise, the commission will do nothing

Gamers really ARE the most oppressed minority...
