  • The interesting point is, that this petition is not about live service games as Ross again stated in the very linked video. He does not demand Companies to turn those live service games into self hostables or outright single player games. Thats ridiculous.

    And no, again, this is not about live service games!! This is about games that can be perfectly played offline but can’t “legally” as it has a server component for whatever reason (let it be DRM, or Matchmaking).


    Remember the time when games came with the ability to host your own server (unreal tournament, quake, warcraft, trackmania,…) and we somehow lost that ability in the name of profit and monetary incentives?


    Forcing the work on developers? They already wrote the server software (otherwise they couldn’t host matchmaking eh?) no this is absolutely about the Publishers.





  • I mean okay, but you had the same talking points as Piratesoftware.

    And what do you mean by being dramatic about it? Companies should not allowed to destroy what you owned, simple as that that’s the entire spirit of this petition. And then comes peeps like Piratesoftware who outrageously misrepresent the petition and even attacked Ross personally and also declined a discussion with him to clarify the misunderstandings. Instead Piratesoftware used his Plattform to start a counter campaign against this good cause.

    Beside this petition is not legislation (also a lie spewed by Piratesoftware), this is an offer for discussion about this topic. Legislation is made by the peeps in the senate not EU Citizens.
