Ross doesn't have the heart for it, but the second the mana gem incident happened. It was a good time to bring up how big a piece of shit Mald is.
He could have gotten a ton of traction refuting him on everything. All the drama tubers would have picked it up too.
 
Always been a fan of Ross so I'm glad he is finally doing a takedown of PirateSoftware, as late as it is now. PirateSoftware is such an insufferable snarky smug redditor-esque faggot, every appearance triggering Mad At The Internet rage.

As if that wasn't enough, of course his background in many parts of the video is a fucking properties file, to present himself as if he is an actual software developer, when this is on same level of using the scrolling Matrix green text as a kid to make you feel like an elite hacker.

Me, reading the spoiler warning but opening it anyway:





This whole thing can be summarized as "You will own nothing and be happy"
let us own the things we paid for, dammit!
There's no good reason for blocking games to be supported thru P2P, like many, many retro games that still exist due to fan servers.
I commend Ross for his efforts, but ultimately people don't care enough to make real lasting change, and that's what really sucks.

The introduction of niggercattle into hobbies is what allows this.
If the fanbase was niche enough they'd never have been able to get away with it.
Sadly popularity is what damns many a thing.

What type of guy is Ross?
  • Ross is the type of guy to say "let's engage in a open dialogue so we can come to a mutually beneficial solution."
  • Ross the type of guy to say "you want one?" when he notices you staring at the coffee machine in his home.
  • Ross the type of guy to notice you walking in his home with dirty shoes and assert "Please take off your shoes and put them next to the exit, this floor is tricky to clean" as he walks off to get a mop
  • Ross the type of guy to eat ice cream at a park bench, see a squirrel in a tree and smile contently
  • Ross the type of guy you bump into in the street, apologize, only for him to reply "Don't worry about it." and walks away
  • Ross the type of guy to see you suck at a game, raging and advise "Being bad at a game does not translate to you being bad as a person. Practice makes perfect, you'll get the hang of it in time :)"
  • Ross the type of guy to find a penny on the street saying "don't mind if I do!" then he later shows it to you gleefully saying it's his lucky coin

  • Jason the type of guy to put up a "game developer needed with [game engine name] experience" ad, you sign up due to having experience. The first interview question is "So... you know how to draw?", you reply no, which prompts him to sigh disappointingly and scratch something off in a text book.
  • Jason the type of guy who says "I have a partner" unprompted when you meet him for the first time ever, only to ask you a week later "is he/she single? Whats his/her socials?" when he notices a attractive friend/acquaintance of yours

  • Jason the type of guy you have to annoying wait for to catch up on a hike because he noticed a interesting patch of mushrooms

Pressuring the EU to mandate that publishers must provide "end-of-life" plans for games is dangerously wrong-headed, ethically and strategically
The tragedy is that the goal can be achieved without resorting to statist enforcement, but that requires an examination of the false frame first

I already think incredibly lowly of this retard, since he continuously posts chatGPT slop to this thread while adding nothing of real value:

Click to expand...
Simping for scalpers (the worst scum of the consooooomer market) seems on brand for this retard.

I'm surprised he's not sucking off mald, since he seems to value low-effort posting, outsourcing his thinking, and applauding the worst aspects of capitalism, much like Mald himself.

Games that allow LAN play, self-hosting, or modular modding deserve praise and money. We can promote design norms that voluntarily accommodate future preservation without legal compulsion. Buy from studios that support this, pirate from those who don't. Let market discipline sort them out.

So basically a "vote with your wallet" type of argument. I can't avoid acting cynical towards that argument because I honestly don't remember a time where it has worked. Star Wars Battlefront 2 comes to mind but what ultimately killed that kind of gambling-esque microtransactions was, ironically enough, regulation.
 
Ross has managed to go 20 years on YouTube without getting into any major drama or nosediving his career. If that doesn't say something about him as a person I don't know what would.

As a fungal enthusiast I resent this remark. Wild mushrooms are neat.
 
Ross had the bad luck of not being as niggery and open to rolling around a bit in the mud, although that in itself is a very commendable position even if unrealistic. Which is ironic considering Maldavius's entire excuse was that we shouldnt use the law to benefit the people because it would force poor poor game devs to, not pointlessly take away licenses of content you've paid for....
Of course, Maldavius himself abuses the law when it benefits him with the DMCA, but he is just a poor widdle game dev, insane behavior dude

This garbage is from chatGPT too isn't it?

Are you allergic to forming your own thoughts and opinions? Please tell me more about how companies taking things away that I paid for is moral.

I think Thor both wants games to not die but, as a shity retard developer, can't fathom spending the time re-working old stuff to change it to adapt to a change he assumed would be called of developers.

Thor is a bush league confidence man. What a faggot.

I mean, does he really? He's just a completely self-centered sleazeball who cannot think beyond the scope of his own self-interests. If this initiative could hamper the development of his own live-service game he's working on, he'll try to tear it down even if this means consumers continue getting fucked over. Simple as. But I do agree he's a faggot.
 
There's one particular line in the video that I hope the roach seethes about.

Everyone blindly agrees to TOS, but TOS can't make something that is illegal valid. So if new EU laws require (new) games to have an end of life plan, then companies will have to do that to access that market. They only need to do whatever the bare minimum is to comply, and hopefully that is enough to make archiving/playing possible, even if it takes extra work from the community. It's likely not going to increase costs significantly. That's all that has to be said about this IMO.

My issue is that begging for the state to decide what is legal and what is illegal is what caused most of the mess in the first place
Even if the state is sane and righteous in declaring what's legal and what is illegal, enforcement of the law is still a state monopoly, you simply have no other legal means of appeal or alternatives
So the people begging for the law to change in a good way are placing their hopes in the same institution that used its legal machinery to criminalize modding, outlaw DRM circumvention tools, enforce software monopolies, punish emulator devs, protect DRM under copyright law, hand publishers the enforcement power to remotely revoke access, and so much more. And all of that in a system where enforcement is carried out through opaque bureaucracies, lopsided court cases, and extrajudicial threats where a multibillion dollar company can get state backing to crush some guy hosting a fan server, and yet no consumer has any realistic way to enforce even basic contract expectations without drowning in legal fees and regulatory indifference.
Do you see my issue with "we need govt to step in and fix this?"
It boils down to "We know the system screws us 100 times over, but there's nowhere else to go, so let's just scream and sob until it fucks us more gently"
 
Just while PirateSoftware's involvement with the SKG initiative is relevant, two of Thor's butt buddies, ThePrimeagen and Theo.gg, came out with videos at the time of the drama to muddy the waters about the campaign because Thor was receiving heat. Theo is a complete shill faggot and just reacted to Thor's video, but Prime says he's intending to give a fair and balanced take as a good faith actor, he gets half way through reading the FAQ then gives up half way through and starts yapping against a strawman argument and sweeping for Thor saying he dindu nuffin. They both receive a lot of pushback from the audience in the comments.

I legit think that he's a game industry plant and got his possition because he pushes this oi vey, shutting games down narrative hard, while larping being a dev. Seriously, his only (real) credentials is his dad working at Blizzard and him having a game maker shovelware in his name, this fucking meme porfolio wouldn't fly IRL. But every other "game dev" podcaster boasted him up, despite all the bullshit. Either they are just as bad as him, or it's because the managment told them to put up with his facade, go on Streaming events etc.

If Night Management had all their creators in cahoots for drama and coordinating slander content on those who are not members, I don't think it's stretch to assume Jason being pushed to shill this own nothing and be happy mindset.

Your only other options are to boycott live service/component games, or get enough of the source code leaked by a helpful insider or by hacking the companies. The situation CAN improve with such a law, with minimal government/court interference. Maybe it won't actually go well, but it can if everyone toes the line.

OT: Emulator devs should already be operating as if Nintendo hit squads are coming to kill them. Total anonymity, distribution through torrents or similar, donations by cryptocurrency if anything at all.
