This comes after a sea of games have been lost due to the creators turning off the servers. While community remake projects like RELB for Lawbreakers, Loadout Reloaded and a server emulator for The Crew exist, they’re miles behind where we’d be if publishers just released a way to host our own servers before killing their creations. They need more signatures from European citizens and then the proposal goes to a board who decide what to do with it.
Holy shit that dude is incredibly stupid, wow
All that video says to me “trust me, the industry won’t scam you”
No, he actually understands not only the player side, but also the actual development, publisher, and operations sides as well. He understands the dynamics of client-server interactions and that what’s being asked by Stop Killing Games.
Random commenters on social media with no relevant credentials beyond playing games making snide comments mean very little when we’re talking about discussing what we want to see from possible legislation.
I gotta say the guy usually has based takes but I think he is way off the mark on this. Litterally all they want is if a game requires a server, give players the option to self host if the publisher is shutting down theirs.
He shows a lot on YouTube shorts, usually with good comments.
