Trying to reason with corporations is dumb, it will never happen. You are basically asking them to not use your data which makes them millions.

You're missing the point. Like he said in the video, this isn't just some petition to ask Ubisoft or the government nicely to please stop screwing the consumer. Remember when Steam didn't allow refunds, but Australia made them change? Large countries with strong consumer protection law can actually do something about people getting screwed out of a product that they paid for with an ambiguous end of life plan.
 
On the one hand, showing interest in threads is cool and all, but on the other hand, I understand why users get frustrated when a cozy thread gets featured/posted in the happenings feed. I expect a lot of noise for a bit…
 
I wish I was half as good at organizing and conveying my thoughts into words as Ross is.

Just let it burn. There are hundreds of games you can pirate and play without any issue.

If people actually said no to that shit we wouldn't have it in the first place.

No one owns the crew anymore, it's been discontinued.

As to the channel awesome shit, he used them for hosting freeman's mind, he wasn't part of that tard cabal.

Please do the world a favor, crawl into a ditch and die, give up on living like you did on everything else in your lives. This crab bucket mentality you represent is the reason nothing ever gets better, because no one even attempts to make a change if faggots like you tell them to never do anything because it doesn't matter.

Ross went out of his way to at least try and get some legislative changes going, did extensive research on all possibilities, and we have faggots like you who just tell everyone to give up and never fight for anything. Take your nihilistic hopeless bullshit, shove it up your ass and shut the fuck up.
 
I don't support what ubisoft did, What they did was straight up horseshit, and the crew being dead should have resulted in refunds. I agree with Ross on this being straight up horseshit, but you literally cannot fight this in the US, as per the video two months ago.

Ubisoft discontinued the user license to the game, with no recompense. There is precedence for this, and I somewhat suspect this is why they nuked their forums and moved to pedocord.

On to the geek in the glasses link, Walker attempted to set up a youtube alternative while susan was neck booting particularly hard. Ross Scott hosted Freeman's mind videos on that service, whose name I do not remember.

Once again, clawing back paid for games, or content, which Ubisoft has done several times, is evil by any definition. When users on the forum asked why their DLC was being taken away, they were assured by community moderators that Ubisoft ran it by a lawyer, and it was totally cool for them to do so. (which is horseshit).

I feel like you've yelled at me over a similar thing in the past. Regards.
 
I love Ross’ dead game news, and he’s been the only Jewtuber I’ve seen who actually disavows it instead of saying “dead game bad” and forgetting about the concept within a week. He’s always made great content as well, so I really hope this goes somewhere, he definitely does deserve to bring some change after all the hard work he’s put in. I’m still wondering if the movie he was talking about making is still a thing, he seemed really into it whenever he’d mention it and was extremely careful to not spoil the concept of it or even what it even is.
 
I forgot he tried to fork it and got youtube fucked. He intended Dead Game News to be it's own channel, and YouTube unpartnered it.
I'm rewatching the GAAS video, and he had them dead to rights then.
 
I think "The Crew" was a personal favorite of Scott's. He mentioned it in the Gothos video, and that's a deep dive.
I'd never met anyone who has ever heard of G-NOME, before LGR did a video on it.
 
I wish Ross all the luck in his crusade but I can't be bothered to care about games that will eventually die when the servers shut down. What will we lose? Skinnerbox MMOs, MOBAs, gachas, shitty FPSes, and garbage live service games that could easily be single player (I guess The Crew is exempt here it seems like a decent racing game). Wake me up when the corporate nightmare really takes a turn and we're not allowed to own a computer without hardware-embedded DRM systems, or when Gabe dies and Valve decides they want every game on their platform to be cloud based or cease to exist
 
You already have a computer with hardware embedded DRM systems, they simply present them as a feature. When HDCP was a pie in the sky abstract, people claimed they would simply remain on older operating systems that did not require HDCP. That did not work out so well.

I had honestly forgotten HDCP existed until I had to fix a video driver issue and saw it listed as a feature for being "turned on".

Isn't that like saying "Diabetes is bad, but tell me when they start hacking limbs off". Pretty sure even today there are single player games that demand server internet connection for no reason besides publisher greed.

I agree with Ross in theory but I wish he would've picked actually good games to screech over being screwed.

It's not about whether the game was good or bad. It's about the fact that Ubisoft, a French company, pulled this shit and opened themselves up to potential legal liability which Ross wants to pursue to try and make law changes in other countries that'll prevent this shit from happening. He's defending The Crew, because it's his best shot at getting a law passed somewhere that would set a precedent to stop companies from killing games. Steam had no refund system until Australia bitched about it, and that was only one country.

It's pretty amazing how well Ross explained the issue on all fronts in those 30 minutes. Yeah, it really is that people who don't agree with him are retards who can't conceptualize anything beyond "right now", like niggers that cannot comprehend hypotheticals. Trying to force legislative changes in other countries? Why bother? Shit's fucked now, so nothing's gonna ever change. Even though he brought up good examples that shit changes even if "right now" it seems impossible in a way and language that's perfectly understandable.

Maybe you should take those thirty minutes to watch is video before spewing out your opinions, you know. He was very concise with what he was saying. And I'm saying it to everyone who entered this thread from Community Happenings. Don't be a nigger.
 
It amazes me people are being doomers over this and saying it's retarded to even try. I know these people didn't even watch any of Ross's videos on this because they would know by Ross's own admission that there is a very small chance of this even working out anyways but, there is a chance and it should be taken. There isn't even a downside to just try so might as well try. Ross is being realistic with what he is trying to accomplish and isn't promising some ridiculous expectation. It's just going to be hard to coordinate and convince the courts what Ubisoft is doing is horse shit to set precedence. At the very least, he wants the courts to confirm that we're truly fucked and we can't do anything about it.
 
I wanted to try this game out for the longest time, but never got around to it. Ross had the right idea when he forced himself to make that review when he did, even almost got the date of the game dying right.
I hope Ubisoft is sued to hell and back, they need to be made an example.

Retard. MOBAs and MMOs are going to die and everyone including Ross is fine with that. No one is expecting a company to keep some multiplayer-only game alive forever. There are a number of single player games already that are reliant on a central server, including multiple other Ubisoft games and the recent Hitman trilogy for some stupid reason. Better to try and prevent the problem spreading now than waiting for another five years for more publishers/developers to also start using this practice, no?
 
Constant contrarians on the internet are just tiring. It's like the immediate reaction to every subject is looking what reddit thinks and unironically arguing the opposite without actually listening to the original point
