No need to go that far, there's plenty of games sold with better terms of service than the ones your company offers.
Forcing companies to be upfront about this aspect will help concerned consumers choose these instead of yours.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoAnd which company is that?
- pyrale 1y agoe.g. Factorio. e.g. Hades. Both games available offline and DRM-free.
- chickenzzzzu 1y agoHow do they handle piracy, unless they don't? In which case, very good for them that they have such a great group of supporters. I am not sure if we should require every company to behave in such a way, and simply let consumers reward such companies with their money? This is just a fundamental economic model argument that I apply to any industry, except maybe baby formula or something.
- pyrale 1y ago> How do they handle piracy, unless they don't? So your point is that you need to fuck your paying customers in order to mildly annoy people who don't buy your games? Besides, the proposal doesn't even require you not to have anti-piracy servers; it only requires you to avoid bricking the game once you turn of the servers. > simply let consumers reward such companies with their money? For that you would need to be upfront about it.
