Games as a Service is a Scam

It's fucking amazing how these threads bring out the corporate cocksuckers.

Even if that was the case, why would the fact that he never touched a woman have anything to do with the validity of what he has to say about the videogame industry ?

How can a question like that can even form and seem to make enough sense in your mind for you to post it ?

The problem will fix itself after they all go bankrupt or kill themselves

I'm sure most devs don't give a shit if people host their own servers after a game dies, it's the publishers that stop them because A) there's no money to be made in letting everyone know how your servers work and B) they think people hosting their own shit is cutting into their profit.
Point B can be seen in blizzard smacking down private servers over and over until they realized that forcing people to buy the new expansion wasn't working and that they've been sitting on a huge pile of (potential) money by not hosting legacy servers in the first place.
A company shouldn't be able to keep a game dead, so I do hope something gets done about this.

Why?

I deffo don't have an hour+ to watch it, and the first 30 seconds made my ears bleed.

Basically he's mad. It has little to do with fraud. (By little, I mean "nothing").

GAAS is a broad term that describes many things.

MMOs have literally always been GAAS, any game that gets post launch support free or paid is technically GAAS, and any game part of a subscription service like PS+, PSNow, Gamepass, EA/Origin Access, Stadia etc is also GAAS.

With that said trying to generalize such a broad fucking term as "fraud" automatically makes me think the guy who made the video is an idiot. Doing this is basically classifying Witcher 3 and Battlefront 2 as the same since they where both technically GAAS.

You're the idiot.

Ross is a hero we never deserved. Godspeed and god bless. Will devs ever fix this? I am very pessimistic.

I just read the first two paragraphs of your post and decided I don't like the way you formatted your post, so I'll be ignoring all you have to say and assume you have nothing of value to add anyway.

what

Next time read an article before you post it.

Why should I trust the opinion of a fucking youtuber claiming something is fraud (a term with actual legal implications) who clearly has no idea what he is talking about?

He's trying to define something that is, be design, defined differently depending on who you ask, and who is asking. And then he contradicts himself, and ignores legal rhetoric and precedent (which again, at the end of the day, if you want to use words like 'fraud', are the things to go by).

This, money talks. And gacha/lootbox mechanics SING. There's no changing GaaS until the government steps in.

start watching Game Dungeon, it will make sense then. All games relying on a central server are already one foot in the grave.

Ross has these arbitrary awards for games at the end of his videos and that's one of them

" Games as a service are ways to monetize video games either after their initial sale, or to support a free-to-play model. "

Why should I trust the opinion of a fucking 4channer?

but if you arent agreeing to a subscription based contract, your contract then legally defaults to perpetual based, thus the item in question is yours, no matter how much dlc is provided afterwards. legal precedents blah blah blah. also, wiki isnt the bastion of information you'd like to think it is.

I'm not even the dude posting this, but I'll say this is probably the most important topic that ever got a thread on Yea Forums since it's inception.

read three words in and youre already sounding like a whiny bitch so instead of making myself out to be a headass im just gonna walk away and have a better day for it.

Most gamers don't care and never will. So companies are taken to a Supreme Court by the few gamers who do, it's over and will get even worse. Fuck it, faggot gamers can't even agree amongst themselves on this, let alone fighting the devs and pubs. Serious. Look at any thread on this on most vidya forums. Other gamers will fight against you if you bring it up. There's no winning this other than a court battle.

>devs
No, but hopefully lawyers and judges will.

why cant people just enjoy things when they are available and let them die with dignity. he argument seems entitled and whiny.

As soon as he mentioned Goldman Sachs, and saying it was 'like that', it pretty much confirmed this guy is just a click bait idiot.

Also his comments about IP law are beyond retarded. Sure, the games shut down, and that sucks. Thats how the industry works. And no, they shouldn't provide the files/data for it. It's called "protecting your IP".

He researches the fuck out of this, what else is a layman supposed to do besides that?

Heh. I remember long haired 90s nerds. Mostly into Soundgarden and 80s Metal.

because we paid for a product and we have no say when that product will stop being functional. It's like buying a car and after some time the person who sold you the car sets it on fire without telling you he will do that when you bought the car.

It won't be solved because you retarded fucks don't stop buying it, just like there are people going to the Epic Store.

Doesn't matter how many times you warn, you explain, you fucking draw the problem, some people will always go anyway because they're a bunch of weak losers with no long-term vision.

Sounds like Ross alright.
watch the fucking video.

you do not own the game you fucking idiot. That's not how this works.

Software is treated differently due to the fact that a perfect copy can be made near instantly and nearly without any limits on how many can be made unlike a physical good. That is why you can sell any cartridge or disc you have for a console and be fine as you are losing access to said software, however you cannot resell digital downloads unless that license is revoked, like how steam does it. You will see this become an issue if 3D printers get more sophisticated and widely available.

I've told people that you aren't buying the software, you are buying the license key to access said software. While I'm not a fan of where the industry has been heading and will head, it is the natural outcome of content owners trying to make money off of their content while trying to fight piracy in the process. They want strict control of how their content is consumed(started with how VHS and cassette tapes were handled in the 70s). While it wont outright prevent piracy, if gaming and media goes full on streaming instead of actual installing it, it will surely put a dent in it. Unlike YouTube or any other streaming video/music where a person can "download a stream" and save it, streaming a game would be near impossible to copy and install on a local machine as you aren't getting the actual data for the files, just the rendered image.

thats because the "other gamers" are demented trannies or corporate shills and theres no means to differentiate between someone posting in earnest and someone posting for their overlords or for the lulz because this board is by design anonymous. it seems bad here but in places where you can put faces to names it just becomes a matter of excluding the bad actors that want corporations to trod all over their rights

The bit at the end about streaming games is something I've been worried about for a while. You'll hear people shit on the Stadia a lot here, but there is some degree of positive buzz outside of Yea Forums. Due to infrastructure limitations, I'm not sure it's going to be the Stadia that will standardize streamed gaming, but I'm afraid it'll become accepted at some point in the future.

sure, but on top of that, if we tried to actually fix our finite usage car, we get sued because that's illegal.

Maybe that's how it works in burgerland, but not in the EU.

Funny thing you mention cars, because they're also a good example capitalistic greed inconveniencing the consumer. Nowadays fixing your car yourself is almost impossible compared to the models 30 years ago, they always charge exorbitant amounts of money for minor issues and make sure that replacements dry out as soon as possible when new models are out.

Ok? It's still going to be a GaaS annualized bargain bin minimum viable product FPS that'll die after a year, followed by those SAME IW devs either quitting or getting fired:

•Color scheme will be dookie green, brown, and grey to contrast with Treyarch's clown scheme, this leads to poor visibility paired with washed out, low res textures.

•9-14 3 lane flat cookiecutter maps, Terminal as pre order bonus made free after a month.

•40-48 weapons on launch

•10-16 killstreaks, all of which we've seen in the series before, no EMP and no AUAV/SR71

•No new perks, dead silence will still be the same silent footsteps BS that its been since MW2 instead of adapting Fleet Footwork from Ironsight. DS won't have a direct counter.

•Specialist weapons and abilities will return (kill me if they do)

•$50 map pack DLC that trickles out every three months, you'll never get to play the maps though because very few will buy it

•Microtransactions out the ass, no challenge based camos aside from the typical "100 gorillion headshots, bloodthirsties, no attachments/no perks".

•No contract system on launch, will be patched in in summer of 2020.

•No leaderboards on launch, will be half assed to show percentiles just like Infinite Warfare.

•No league play or clan wars.

there is a reason the games Industry doesn't want attention drawn to this. they already lost in EU courts, they'd lose here as well with the precedents already set. Also, they lose ignorant people like yourself that relate them by spreading misinformation and hald truths so they can keep their power over the goods they are selling us.

who the fuck genuinely wants kids?

does making your own bootleg server for playing a game thats lost its central server count as right to repair?

The first thing I thought of after watching the video is that they'd just make people pay subscriptions for the games.

chances are you will get sued if you attempted that. A lot of people did, a lot of people got sued.

>Isn't mold more complicated than that?
Yeah, but they dried their clothes in the apartment and from videochats Ross mentioned that he use the heat in winter to save money.

I like Ross, but he's stuck in the Deus Ex mentality of conspiratorial thinking. It's not that conspiracies don't exist or that all corporations have squeaky clean intentions, but the fact is that anyone who has actually worked in a company that deals with lots of other businesses instead of just their own knows that the 'corporate world' is a lot like Yea Forums: Despite how it might seem, there's no universal narrative or plan. Everyone does things differently and nobody really knows what they're doing. They don't all huddle around a table and decide how to screw people over, they all go their separate ways and try to do things that they think makes sense (and money).

When you try to understand the 'narrative' of business or companies you instantly lose because there is no narrative. People see themselves separate from companies and corporations but they don't realize that those corporations and companies come from themselves.

GaaS is just a marketing term, everyone is doing it differently and for different reasons. To say it is fraud is painting with extremely broad strokes and doesn't mean anything. Some services may be fraudulent, but not every implementation is. There's no black and white simple answer to this.

Then go buy the server code from the company

they refuse to sell me the server code.

>"We're not listening to Wikipedia, they had their chance"

You ARE Wikipedia. Wikipedia does not tell you how to think, if an article is wrong then its on you to fix it and rewrite it for the good of everyone instead of acting like Wikipedia is the same as the dictionary.

His proposed solutions seem like relatively black and white simple answers.

As is their right, you can't force someone to sell you something. You bought the game code, not server code.

This video is too fucking slow and plodding for the extremely basic point it is trying to make. Holy fucking shit I made it 12 minutes in and its just bogged down.

The point is to deter retards from coming out of the woodwork saying
>well actually your definition is wrong because wikipedia said so.

and they should lose the rights to dictate my experience of the game once they sell it to me. They should not be able to prevent me from playing it forever because they purposely codded it to rely on a central server as that gives them more control over their product.

No company has squeaky clean intentions. They want your money and will gladly ram you in the ass for it if they can get away with it.

It's fraudulent because games as a service aren't actually a service but a good.

You can force someone to sell you something, people do it all the time to car companies

Call your congressman to pass that law, right now they have the right to run servers however they please. You bought the source code.

Ross is fucking retarded, what he's really trying to say is that online only games are fraud because years from now you won't be able to play them.

What Ross fails to realize is that it doesn't fucking matter, because in the vast majority of cases the entire REASON the game is shutting down is because fucking nobody wants to play it.

For the more popular games, I can kind of see his point, but 20 years from now when they finally shut down servers for Overwatch is anyone REALLY going to give a shit?

Except there are pirated copies of 98% of Steam's library floating around.

He kept going "oh yeah WoW is fine, it's not fraud, blah blah", when it's doing exactly what he is describing, just a lot more people interested in actually making the private servers he talks about. It's still a MMORPG which he gave credit to not include in the same category, and many MMOs are now dead for the exact reasons he describes. It's been going on like that for years, decades now. All the shit games he plays in his reviews also have massive compatibility issues which are sometimes as much of an obstacle as the local - server split.
It will just never be perfect one way or another unless it's just that one holy grail game that people will do everything for to keep alive.

Precisely. What the fuck do you expect me to do, go riot in the streets over this? I don't buy planned death online dependent garbage, that's about the extent of my commitment to this issue.

The one thing that's clear from this debate is that it's split along generational lines. Older consumers are used to owning and playing their games perpetually as they see fit. Younger consumers are accustomed to having their ownership rights trampled and purchases revoked for any or no reason. It's just hilarious that the latter group actually defends it even when it's spelled out that they're getting dicked over and this is potentially illegal conduct.

Feel free to check.

Have sex and get a clue

I checked and you're objectively wrong.

>Defective products
Not being able to financially keep the game running on a server is not a 'defective product'. If in the End User Agreement it says that the game could stop working at any moment (Which they always do) then there's no legal basis for this.

It might be scummy of EA to shut down servers just a couple of years after release, but it's all in the EULA. In their defense, they support AAA games with millions of players and servers that need to accommodate those users. When the game is not making money of course they will shut down the servers. If you're already made aware of this in the EULA I don't see how you have a legal leg to stand on. If you agreed to the EULA, you accepted this.

You should check the LawBreakers subreddit

It is vidya discussion.
It's kinda overspammed, but there is no way to make a thread without the video in OP, and it honestly hasn't been so long as to make discussion redundant.
Because the video is the argument.
Nobody is going to bother to write out an hour-long dense video full of legal arguments and definitions and preemptive counterarguments in text form because you're too lazy to watch it. Also, this guy put it together and the bulk of the argument is about how valid his position is, few people argued about it that exact way before, or if not, he is the reason the discussion got revitalized. As such, he deserves the place in the OP.
It's an important topic.
It's not eceleb spam if we're discussing his argument instead of his personality. The argument revolves around his video by convenience, but it's not about him.

>He wants "preservation of art", but some of those shit games don't deserve to be preserved in the first place.
How do you define something worth it of preservation ? Personally, Final Fantasy XIII to XV, Call of Duty post 2, Dead Space 3, most Need for Speedy, aren't worth the preserving, but, there are people who are interested in these games, you can tell people what is worthy preserving or not.

go whine to daddy gook about it in /qa/ faggot

He isn't too happy about WoW either, but concedes that at least it wouldn't be outright theft if something happened to that game.
>He wants "preservation of art", but some of those shit games don't deserve to be preserved in the first place
He acknowledges this by talking about art of "questionable quality". But right now you don't get to decide what's worth preserving and what isn't because you can't do shit and that should change

So if the EULA said "we get to murder you lol" it would be legal because its in the EULA?

>THE GAME I BOUGHT WAS GARBAGE! AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS SHUT DOWN!
Good, successful games also get shut down eventually, and they don't have to. Code doesn't wear out or degrade. The error is in believing that games rely on publisher-run central servers. That's an artificial requirement imposed on the product you were sold so that the publisher can revoke it when they're ready to sell you the next one.

>He kept going "oh yeah WoW is fine"
Only because its subscription fee makes it immune to the legal argument he was using against games sold under permanent licenses. I don't think he's a fan of WoW at all.

just like it always has been with everything that has ever happened.

don't worry though, since you know about it, you can avoid it and explain to others to do the same, that's how humans got here after all, we are the only species with the ability to pass down knowledge learned in one life to the next. you, no, us, are the only people that can stop this bullshit before it gets worse, and you know how to do it. Your future depends on nothing but your actions.

>EULA
EULA doesn't mean shit if it contradicts actual laws. The company CAN'T ask you to give up your rights, no matter how it's phrased, it's purely a scare tactic. The fact that legally-illiterate retards like you still exist proves its effectiveness.

>he doesn't listen to metal past the age of 14
embarrassing and kinda sad

what are you supposed to migrate to from metal?

You can still find UT2k4, SWAT4, 2005 SWBF2 and AVP2 servers, and the only reason they exist, is because you can host your own server.

No, it's dying, I'm just glad I will be dead before it dies for good.

>say it is fraud is painting with extremely broad strokes and doesn't mean anything. So
Only 96% of the GaaS are frauds.

>Code doesn't change

Code doesn't, but the libraries it relies upon do. If game code has a dependency on 3rd party legacies libraries that are deprecated and said 3rd party has no mirror for its legacy code, you can't blame the developer when you can't run that code on your machine.

>d-don't come to my secret channel p-please

Seems like a great incentive to make better games or to support your already great game
