I suspect this will result in live-service game makers just putting their live-service games under a subsidiary they can terminate so that the EU has nobody to prosecute when a live-service game dies. Whether that's better or worse than the status quo, though, I don't know. Forgive me if this has been discussed before; it's a big thread.

This would be far too much work. Bare in mind that at these corporations they don't generally plan ahead to shut the game off. Shutting the game off is usually done by an executive who they recently hired who's looking to downsize parts of the company. And they just look at this thing bleeding them dry and go "yeah turn it off". They aren't going "yeah let's prepare ahead of time to shut this game off" because if they were they'd likely have an end of life plan to begin with.

He was just known as cool hacker man/security expert/indie dev/ex-blizz employee. He was under the good graces of most (Who hadn't dealt with him prior to his Youtube shorts).

No. This guy always sucked, and didn’t have the respect of anyone - especially in the cybersecurity community. Going to Black Hat and DEFCON doesn’t mean you’re a leet hackzor. Dude knew enough jargon to pull the wool over the eyes of people who didn’t know better, which happens to be a ton of people.

And he saw Ross as dimwitted and an easy target to utterly shut down.

That's what I believe as well. He had no idea who Ross was when he saw him and figured he could take a dump on some goofy looking sperg (sorry Ross), and bag some points from his audience as the defender of "muh industry integrity" + indie dev autonomy.

It was just a grift too far.

I feel like getting big on Youtube shorts then Twitch lead to him getting such an ego that he wanted to try swinging his dick at someone to exert his power

It did. He's been a dickhead in every MMO he's played (EvE/WoW/AoC), it was just noticed more in the latter 2 examples, because he had blown up by then.

I mean, this seems kind of naive and forgive me for sucking a bit of corpo executive cock here, but... if there isn't an EOL plan from the start, and these games are just getting terminated by executive fiat, the executives are kind of in the right and I pity them for having to wrangle an organization full of retards who didn't think to themselves "maybe we won't be able to keep this server running until the heat death of the universe and we should have a plan for what to do when we decide to turn it off".

The only issue here is that all of these live service games are cash-grabs as fuck. No one is making live service anything for the love of the medium. Every single live service game is made with the hope of raking in exponential returns.

It's generally understood when making these turds that it's a gamble and if it doesn't hit, it gets cancelled and the next try gets rolled out. I'm not gonna pat an exec on the back for shutting down his grift when its not profitable for him.

Either reality is an unacceptable outcome and this will slap the hands of who ever needs them slapped to start better practices.

It's also important to note that he shoves dog dildos up his butt. In fact, I believe that all people having a conversation about Mald should be aware of this. If he ever comes close to anything resembling a win it should include that in the asterisk.

Even with help he's still going to have issues. I'd like to see him pull his phone out for this one:

M8 I hate to break it to you but it’s fucking rock textures all the way down. Every step up in resolution doubles the file size and there’s no way around it. Any game over 100 gigs could be dropped to 50 by removing the 4K textures.

honestly its alot of reasons why I dont wanna play borderlands 3, the gameplay may be fun, but the constant shit puns, and dragging dialogue, and generally unfunny characters, jsut eugh, the 8k fucking textures is just icing on my hate cake.

Borderlands 2 was more fun, so Ill just stick to that game when I get that itch

I would assume he was likely known in that community with the same disrupte he is now. I can't imagine that his propensity to lie, exaggerate and throw people under the bus was well received in a world where people are committing far more serious things than run of the mill pirating and ones reputation is actually quite significant.

This is why I like Roadcraft... The game is 30ish GB and you can download another 30 GB in 4k textures as a extra DLC in the store, but if you dont want it, it takes less space.
