What does that mean? Games as a service? Games are entertainment, likes movies or music

What magical land do you come from and how do I get there?

Ross is always right.

Nah cunt for real

yes. cause say a game is terrible and has bad sales and loses some player base. they can just shut the servers down and not have to refund the current player base

Is this bait

Nah I'm fucking serious, what does it mean Games are a service?

But user I am also serious, you'd have to have lived under a rock for the last 7 year to not have heard the term games as a service. Half the industry has been pushing it really hard for about that long now, ever since League took off.

"Games released under the GaaS model typically receive a long or indefinite stream of monetized new content over time to encourage players to continue paying to support the game. This often leads to games that work under a GaaS model to be called "living games" or "live games", since they continually change with these updates."

The argument is that if you have to pay for a copy of a game, but then the servers are shut down and no reasonable method of restoring your lost access to the product you paid for is given, it's akin to (but probably not literally) fraud.

He's wrong to imply VIDEOGAMES are art.

Why not take it to court, instead of making a youtube video about it.

based retard who didn't watch the video

I don't own any current gen consoles, I stick with retro primarily. Right now I've got my PS2, Dreamcast, N64 and PS3 hooked up (I use it for TV and movies as well)
League? Like Rocket League?

EU courts don't apply to US citizens brainlet

He might be right but all the games on the list are shit or unpopular/outdated. There is just mo reason to give a fuck.

Games being sold as if they are a service instead of a good.

League of legends, my dude. Probably the single most popular and profitable game to ever be created. However I believe the wiki article is more correct than I am in stating that MMOs, specifically World of Warcraft were the real kick off to this type of monetization.

Point is you win in yurop it's big enough of a problem for developers to cause them to change their policy worldwide

I keep seeing this vid recommended to me but I don't have the thirty fuckin years it takes to watch it

So tired of seeing this ugly fuck face. Don't care for his content but my God he's ugly as a nigger's ass.

Oh whatever, I don't care about lame ass zoomer shit like that

then why does he have a qt polish gf while you remain a virgin?

You're not my sort of people.

That games as a service are awful? Yes. That they are fraud? No and he admits as much.

tl;dr:

Sooftware is defined as a good, not a service. Hence developers have no rights to take away games from you by shutting down servers and therefore making games de facto unusable. He argues that at the very least there has to be a reasonable way to use private servers.

Basically thats it.

He's right about it being fraud, but most importantly he's spot on with the book-burning comparison. Destruction of culture is normally something only savages do, but now capitalism is doing it to media en masse for profit. This tendency is something that has to be shut down before it becomes more widespread - and before streaming-only video games become the new norm

It's fine to not care for current games but the point of the thread is that the way things are headed makes for a pretty shitty future for video games.

Future games won't become retro games for the next generation of people like you to play if they all rely on central servers that got shut down and can't be reasonably replaced.

Old news, kys influencer shill.

>Justin Bassett sued Electronic Arts over the company shutting down their game servers even though the games are still available in stores with online play advertised on the box.
>EA attempted to take the case into arbitration, citing their EULA, and Bassett argued that the arbitration clause was not valid as it was added later on. EA argued that Bassett agreed to the new EULA when he attempted to log into the online servers.
>Last year, the judge sided with Electronic Arts and threw the case into arbitration. As I said back then, we will probably never know what the final ruling was as arbitration results are almost always sealed to the public. What we do know is that, as of last month, the case has been dismissed with prejudice.
>Plaintiff Justin T. Bassett (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Electronic Arts Inc., the parties to the above-captioned action, stipulate and agree, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), that Plaintiff hereby does and shall voluntarily dismiss the above-captioned action, and all of the claims within it, with prejudice.
>What does that mean? Dismissal with prejudice bars Bassett from bringing an action on the same claim in the future.

videogames are collaborative art pieces that combine multiple media

Oh the ironing.
