Games as a service is a scam

I love how badly EA has been floundering after trying to present the argument that single player games are dead and that Games As A Service was the future...only for their games to gain users and lose them just as rapidly.

So no, it's not fraud in any sense of the word.

>An hour and 15 minutes of Ross rambling about how GAAS are scams
This only just barely makes up for the lack of Game Dungeons, moldman.

What the fuck does "e-celeb" mean?
Ross has a life outside of his game dungeon, man.
I want you to think about why you posted that term, user.

With the exception of subscription games, games are not actually a service by most legal definitions and thus the practice of making them unplayable is illegal in most countries.

You're being sold a perpetual license that is knowingly non-perpetual.

Ross is one of the 3 currently good e-celebs

This. TheQuartering, PewDiePie and Ross are the e-celeb trinity.

All Video games are disposable anyways. After you beat and play them for an extended period of time, there's nothing left. This is especially true with multiplayer games.

I got done watching it and its kind of uncanny how almost every single post that's defensive of GAAS in this thread is something Ross blew the fuck out in the video.
this one especially, line for line.

Yes but it's the users definition of when their "done" with the game. Do you never revist an old game for a second playthrough? Some old multiplayer games are still being played by a respectable number of people to this day (Ross gives the example of Star Wars Galaxies, but even stuff like Quake 3 or FF XI are valid).

He should've had timestamps to each rebuttal in the description or something. Most people who are predisposed to being against his argument aren't going to watch far enough to get to his rebuttal section unfortunately.

watched enough of his videos to know what he's going to say

All subscription services are just a clever way to sell less product for more money.

so companies could just slap a "your license expires on , we might extend it out of goodwill" in the EULA and then it's no longer fraud?

No, because law superseeds the EULA. The EULA is between a company and you, not the government and a company. If the government declares something is illegal, the company can't just say that they're allowed to do it and be excused.

Skeemed through it to see if there was anything other than him speaking in front of a random background. Gee what a boring video, for one hour?
I will put it on and listen to it later when im at work.

NOOO DON'T SAY THAT CAPITALISM IS A GOOD SYSTEM THAT ENCOURAGES COMPANIES TO SERVE THE PUBLIC INTERESTS

Everybody in this thread better apologize to BASED Ross before I beat all your asses.

We had a perfect middle ground with digital copies, atleast those could be backed up as many times as you want.

>1:15h for a gaming rant
ohohoh no thanks.

NICE

Except that neither party thinks it's perpetual, it's not being advertised as perpetual, and the EULA spells out that the agreement can end at any time.

This goes for lots of online only games it's not a new thing
Why do people need some eceleb to tell them this? People don't care that they don't own fortnite or league of legends or MMOs, they care that they're having fun
If you get behind some shitty GaaS game that dies because it's unpopular or doesn't make money that's your own fault, it's not like those games can operate offline to begin with.

How about just never buying or playing GaaS? They're never worth it anyway. If people like spending their money on it, I don't even care. If it dies I'll just laugh at them if they're salty. They supported the practice.

>the money literally has been wasted

>pay for a ride at a carnival
>have my fun and get back to reality like a normal adult
>HURRDURR MONEY WASTED

yeah, if you're some freak that wants

It's not buying a single ride, it's buying the license to ride it whenever you want.
Except when they shutdown the ride and provide you no way to continue using the ride unless you have specific carnival ride repair knowledge and the time and resources to repair the ride to working order on your own so that you can continue making use of your license.

He isn't your friend. He doesn't even know you exist. Kill yourself.

he is right and he debated every possible dissenting opinion
he's right
the people that disagree are either contrarians, stupid, didn't watch the video, or all 3

>Remember that this was a clear and obvious possibility when you agreed to buy the lawnmower; resolve to have more discretion when buying lawnmowers in the future instead of making an hour long YouTube video about how you got ripped off.

EULA IS NOT LAW
>EULA IS NOT LAW

>EULA IS NOT LAW

Yeah hes right. I don't know why companys are so fucking lazy they don't give out the server code or whatever so people can run private servers once they kill the games themselves.

>not knowing about Ross
NEWFAGS

you seem to be seething, perhaps you should calm down?

No one said that. You're just projecting. Kill yourself.

Ross is really bad at longform videos, he should have left this to someone who is actually capable of properly explaining things, like Joseph Anderson.

Kill yourself hamster.

depends on implementation, balls. And that's because is tied to the real scam: always online.

The board made you stupid.

It's long and detailed so real lawyers can use it.

Ross is changing the world while you guys are complaining about video length.

wait, Im pretty sure i din't right that.but my keyboard misses every other letter sometimes.

fuck I need some sleep

Wow, what a unique, original opinion.

fpbp

Ross is basically the same cancer as the rest, why did Yea Forums ever like this guy?

if no one can provide a counter argument then it becomes FACT not opinion.

Two different theories of economics drive 1945-1971 and 1971-2019 though

I personally killed three games today.

>People watching "Ross"

Ross died in 2018 and was replaced by a Mold Monster. You idiots

>Yea Forums actively supports gaas
who would've thought.

>1 hour video
Not watching that
If you have some sort of argument you want to make, type it out.
But in general, my view is it makes perfect sense for online games, not so much for singleplayer games.
Though I personally would rather maintain memberships or subscriptions than face microtransactions. But if games can service of just selling skins, fucking power to them, even better for me since I dont care.
