       so I mean this guy basically admits that you do have to redesign everything and you can't just flip a switch and that you do have to change the entire industry to accommodate the requirement, then treats it like some kind of epic own instead of realizing he's just a dumbass who admits his version of the proposal is insane

       @sun Yes, the industry should change around this. The current state is not good.

       @sun @Noraweed So, local idiot and non-dev here, but is it really that difficult to say at the start of a project "Okay, this needs to have an End Of Life plan at the end" and then keep that in mind during development?

       @sun Complience would be trivial if you built the game with the knowledge you need an end-of-life plan. It would not be required for existing games under the current petition proposal.

       @sun >trivialHonestly a bad word to use here and I don't think the petition actually uses it.Trivial or not. Telling someone to not build planned obsolescence into their product should be normal. My fucking dishwasher should not stop working in 5 years because someone turned a server off, and neither should games I have bought and paid for.

       @Looming @Noraweed you have to architect your game around preservation which may not match market realities. a lot of games could do this but it's an indirect way of banning entire classes of games currently in development that are insanely popular for the long-term benefit of a very small subset of your customers that care when the game turns off after x years.

       @Noraweed they use "reasonable" which is just as dangerous because as I mentioned before you could argue that dumping a "works on my machine" server binary at end of life that takes significant community effort to get into a workable state could be perceived as not complying

       @mer @Noraweed @sun they should make it be a contractwhen you go to gamestop the employee should take out a massive scroll and point to 12 places you need to sign in order to complete the purchasesorta like the form you have to fill out when you buy a gun that says you dont want to kill yourselfthat should be on the games purchase contract too except you should have to declare that games are the only thing stopping you from ending it alland buying games should take away your rights to own guns or take out loans for car, house, etcplease vote for me in the upcoming election i got a plan thatll solve it all

       @why @Noraweed it's the tricking I have a problem with, you should be able to construct any payment model you want including a one time payment for a service that eventually turns off if you are clear that's what you are paying for

       @sun No, did you read the documentation? Or engage at all with the material of the initiative? If a game is sold specifically, and only as, a service, then it's a service and people know time is only rented on it. If it's sold as a product, it's should be treated as a product.

       @Noraweed I am saying unless you make an extremely specific and limited proposal I am going to reject it on principle, and even the things it wants to do aren't actually so easy to do, the world has changed since the 1990s and its not as simple as just build a single binary and let people own it forever

       @sun @Noraweed @why side note:some games need to be discovered by players. like hidden quests or hidden features. sometimes it takes the whole player base hours, sometimes years to solve those things. prematurely releasing the server side code spoils this forever.what about this: a game has to be actively used by the IP owner, otherwise it becomes public domain. shutting down servers means they dont use it anymore.

       @sun @why @Noraweed >the government I guess largely exists because most people can't take care of themself Isn't it just an historical group of people that just centralized efforts to manage large scale projects ? And what we have today is a accumulative legacy of that ?It can of course boost development like we have seen with war taxes but those should have had a limit period of time by been written off when wars ended.But that wasn't the case. Money flooded in and since there were no legal mechanism to stop it they just went on with it.

       @why @grillchen @Noraweed it would be great if every product was built with an end of life plan but I think we both know that you work inside of even a big company and the entire operation is still basically fly-by-night.

       @sun @Noraweed >you have to architect your game around preservation which may not match market realities.I don't think I get what you mean. What part of putting in the End of Life plan prevents its from being ran exactly the same way as it would have without the End of Life plan? I also don't think that we are talking about a small subset of customers but I wouldn't know where to pull data from on that lol

       @Looming @Noraweed service games are built around assumption of the backend always being there so it takes substantial extra effort to make it not assume that. in an ideal world they would do that but it does take substantial effort essentially for no direct financial return

       @Looming @Noraweed an open world game might have terabytes of complex map data and content that only is processed on the backend and is never exposed to the client and so there is no natural preservation channel like just making it keep cached downloaded assets or something.

       @SuperDicq @Noraweed @Looming I mean in an ideal world companies would escrow their game code and assets with like the Library of Congress and in 20 years their copyright would expire and the entire thing would be released

       @sun@shitposter.world @Noraweed@shitposter.world @Looming@fsebugoutzone.org That's not a bad take. That's still 20 years of proprietary software exploitation but at least we will get free software in the end.

       @SuperDicq @Noraweed @Looming I was giving you my honest opinion, I am not even totally against really big changes I just don't think the vague and exploitable EU bill that will come out of this initiative is going to be the thing that does it

       @sun @Noraweed Oh god, this post went everywhere and nowhere as I typed it.Well, in the hypothetical scenario that the ECI goes through, the multi-billion dollar industry will work with the EU to figure out what may be acceptable and what may not.That's one of the two or three reasons why 'reasonably functional (playable)' is used in the wording of the ECI. The alternative wording that actually preserves the goal of 'stop killing games' would have been to say "make it work exactly as it did before" which would have been a much tougher sell on all fronts, I think.Anything else like labeling or stickers may be argued as consumer rights wins, but doesn't aid the goal of games not being killed. But I think we may be on the same page then anyway. 1.) If there is more of a burden than the initiative's FAQ lets on, then that should have been clearer. (I mean, I have personally very little knowledge on this but even assuming you are not deceiving me here (You obviously aren't, I've seen you post often enough to know that you are always being very good faith), I would still want to hear from more devs and tech persons to really solidify my opinion on this.)Though I also find it personally a bit difficult to criticize them for that when the first and only loud dev to really publicly critique it was Mr. "I won't talk to Ross or anyone involved with the initiative because it can eat my entire ass". Now the initiative is almost over. 2.) You don't like the EU making the law and possibly fucking it ALLLL UP. Stop Killing Games says, "Well, this is the only chance we see and we'll march on with it. Unless you have an alternative?"And I am from the hysteric "oh god, please preserve the created art" camp, so I weigh the danger of the EU possibly being really stupid and crazy with it way differently. And usually, I also would be in the "Eh, government intervention?" camp.

       @sun @grillchen @why I am back and have decided to not continue arguing because of this post. If your position is that preservationists should just be forced into a legally dubious position where they can attacked, fined, and shut down at any time if the copyright holder gets aggressive, then we value fundamentally different things and I'm not going be able to convince you otherwise. There's no point.

       @Noraweed @grillchen @why I literally said that I would support the position that companies just can't prevent you from independently keeping their game working after they abandon it. but overwhelmingly I see people online thinking that this is or will require sweeping changes, and I am extremely skeptical of the EU legislative process. we are talking past each other and agree there's no point in continuing.

       @sun @grillchen @why This is a very aggressive post. Let me try and not be such a mad cunt; I don't think there's any argument I can make here that would be both convincing to you and something I actually believe.

       @sun i raised the issue that a lot of servers now are just outsourced too. if you built your game around nakama there isn't a server to even give out, it's all locked up in their cloud :comfywoozy: (nakama does have some crippled self hosting options, but many alternatives which do the same thing doesn't.)

       @sun i guess there is some optimism that politicians will care about signatures and not totally just water it down to meaninglesness exactly as all the right to repair bills had happen :blobcatshrug2: not really against what they want, though i've read years of devs talk about why this isn't the norm already, and i'd be deeply surprised if this doesn't get immediately swiss cheesed like populist laws all do.

       @SuperDicq @sun @Noraweed @Looming Anything that has a trademark licensing, art, story, brand etc...Code has it's own licensing system.*You can compared that to board games and we come back to the maths of game theory.No user gives a shit about how it's manufactured they just want to see the story/gameplay/art. And it doesn't affect the people negatively to have trademarks on these as if people want to make their own version or changes rules no human or no human made tool has the omnipotence/omnipresence to stop you from doing so.Meanwhile in computing omnipotence/omnipresence can be emulated thanks to a combination of black box automation via the internet and DRM.
