- chickenzzzzu 1y agoOk, so your idea is that we will require all companies to release server and client builds, and also the source code as well (?), at some clearly defined point in the future, if they decide to terminate the live service? Will we also require the same of the smart fridge companies? Will we also require the same of companies that don't sell live services, such as toilets?
- heckelson 1y agogood idea! we need to give rights to the consumers!
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoI'm all for it if no industry receives a special carve out!
- shminge 1y agoIf I buy a smart fridge and the company that made them suddenly decided to turn them all off, then I'd definitely like the ability to turn mine back on, yes. And no, there's no expectation of source code. That's been covered many times.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoHow can we ensure that if we legislate the games industry, then we also legislate all other industries with no special carve outs? That would make me much more supportive.
- shminge 1y agoSo your argument is that you won't support Stop Killing Games, but you'll support Stop Killing Things In General? That's a strange stance. Even if that was your position SKG has a good opportunity to act as a stepping stone towards something grander.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoYes that's right. My opinion is that I am against legislating anything until we legislate everything. Put yourself in the shoes of an employee or owner of some business. Would you enjoy being forced to follow certain rules of actual consequence, while others are allowed to do whatever they want?
- whatevaa 1y agoGames and non-games don't compete, so no problem here.
- ranguna 1y agoWe'll do so, one at a time.
