I'm fine with the subscription for the other services, not one that requires a physical object that becomes useless if you aren't paying or if the service shuts down. They should've added a 2D mode or have the games come with the accessory to own.

or if you ever stop paying

I'd be ok with this if it wasn't tied to a subscription, and the headset came with the games. Cause when the service dies, you are left with junk, besides some labo vr stuff I guess.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Any chance of these being able to ship to Australia? Really want the 2nd Ralsei poster!

How is the policy stupid?

Corpos already completely get away with taking your stuff away. The precedent has been this, and precedents can be fought in the future. I hope you are able to agree that they do have a vision, even if you don't agree with that vision.

The process has been discussed by their comms.
In the government phases, all sides would be present to debate and catch things, including the video games lobby who will be fighting to get the imitative dismissed or law weakened as much as possible. I doubt the SKG side would want oversteps too.

Ways of complying include:
-Offline modes.
-Releasing server software.
-Open peer to peer connections to route yourself.
-Selling the game as a subscription instead or making it free, matching that the product is a service. Microtransactions do still aim to be protected though.

Many proposals have been suggested by the movement leaders. They are not asking for a ban on closing down servers, online games, pulling games from sale or placing any restrictions while games are running. Yes solo devs would be beholden.

Companies already don't owe crap sadly, this is a chance to change that.

someone in its discord got a telegram message from it an hour ago apparently

Too bad then. If you can't make a product that respects consumer rights then you shouldn't make that product.

You mentioned Stop Killing Games, and I'm responding in the context of Stop Killing Games.

If companies don't want to release source code, they'd plan out something that doesn't require that. Yes, this stuff will require extra work to transition industry practice over, but we wouldn't have any regulations at all if that was a dealbreaker.

Also I find it very hard to believe that these companies would choose going out of business and losing all their money instead of giving in. In fact a new market would be created to provide solutions for SKG compliance.

Middleware companies wouldn't need to provide the tooling or source code to the players. Just as they have their tooling implemented in a compiled game that people play, the same applies to compiled server software. Licenses to prevent unauthorized use would still exist.

3. This doesn't require sideloading new code onto consoles or any self compilation. Server software would be a separate application and service stack for PCs or an officially released console app which the game would then communicate with through API calls.

1. Then don't use that code that talks to a devkit if it even exists.

2. SKG would not be retroactive. 99% of Dreamcast games are SKG compliant already cause they aren't online only!

It's a case of them not wanting to, not that it's not possible. If console makers don't budge to allow connecting to 3rd party servers or whatever other solution, they'd miss out on getting those games at all on their platform and the revenue cut from them.

Games designed with SKG in mind wouldn't be needing to talk to devkits in the first place because consumers obviously don't have access to that. The situation would be impossible, failing SKG compliance and thus wouldn't be made like that. Server software doesn't need to be open source either.

When it becomes a requirement and planned for in advance (not retroactively), middleware companies will have no choice but to open up if they want that business. If a lot of work is what it takes to solve this then I'd take that lot of work.

yayyy
