This is such and odd thing to suggest. People want to play the games they paid for, _obviously_ they aren't going to make their own game.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoWhat you have paid for is not a physical copy of something that is guaranteed to work forever. All you will achieve with this initiative is that that will be clearly labeled now, instead of implied.
- masfuerte 1y agoIf that's all that will happen, why do you have a problem with it?
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoIf that was the end of the road, then I definitely don't have a problem with it. Like another poster said, it would be like labeling for cigarettes, and that is totally fine. What I do fear however, is that they will go a step further, requiring companies to release server builds, client and server sourde code, and then of course the ultimate dream, "well no you actually can't turn it off, we require you to maintain it forever even if it loses you money because gaming is a right".
- akimbostrawman 1y ago>requiring companies to release server builds, client and server sourde code you did not read the initiative. they do not mention any of that and explicitly state that this won't be required (even if they wanted because of copyright laws).
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoPolitics is a forward looking industry. As you can see with Trump, he went from talking about deporting so called illegal immigrants to deporting naturalized citizens. Do not be surprised when they go from something harmless to something punitive that forces small companies out of business.
- akimbostrawman 1y agopunitive won't be "break there own laws to enforce others" but nice fear mongering. copyright infringement might as well be above murder in terms of politician interest don't worry.
