#stopkillinggames — Public Fediverse posts

Just came across a small project I think is worth sharing:

SKG Publisher Warning warns you on Steam and GOG when a publisher has a history of shutting down always-online games.

A simple idea in support of something I strongly agree with: games we buy shouldn't simply disappear.

GTA6 leaker demands are actually quite reasonable, ngl.

I'm not going to tell you how to protest, but...

"Do not send these people your money" - Stop Killing Games urges people not to support GTA 6 leakers, who declared "gamers' rights" their motive for action

Oh no, #PhantomBladeZero will have no physical release on console.

It will sell like hotcakes.

Again, it's not the digital media people should fight, but rather the licensing problem. As long people still buy licenses happily, the ownership problem will never go away.

Stop Killing Games e DoesItPlay sostengono l'iniziativa legale "Fair PlayStation". Il fronte comune punta a contrastare il presunto monopolio di Sony sul digitale, sollevando dubbi sulla libertà di acquisto e la conservazione dei titoli.

Not long ago we tested Aliens: Fireteam Elite on PS. Now the Switch release, which ran via cloud streaming, has been made completely unplayable. No refunds. The thing digital apologists claim would never happen has happened again.

it seems game publishers really want to set up their own cartels - similarly to DRAM companies - but in cloud gaming.

'The "advent of streaming," Zelnick said, is something that Take-Two believes is "right around the corner, in terms of having something that's low latency and really works well for consumers. Machines that weren't game machines before will become game machines."' https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/take-two-ceo-says-he-expects-the-games-industry-to-be-in-commercial-streaming-mode-within-3-years-which-is-great-news-if-you-hate-owning-things/

https://share.google/qcWU9xENVAunfpEah Deswegen ist #StopKillingGames so wichtig. Damit hätte man dieses Spiel retten können. Wenn sich jetzt nicht zufällig ein sehr versierter Hacker an das Spiel ranmacht und ein offline Modus bastelt ist es für immer verloren.

Buying a game should not mean purchasing a temporary license that can be revoked any moment.

Sony's planned phase-out of physical discs threatens consumer ownership and second-hand markets. When servers close down, paid-for media should not simply vanish.

Volt stands with players against digital rug-pulls. We are pushing for robust game preservation rules in the upcoming EU Digital Fairness Act.

Being provided the means and implicit permission to host a private server is a human right. I don't care what the ESA, anyone they represent, or any lawmaker or congressperson has to say about it.

If my games ever even FEATURE online services, you can bet your ass I'm providing all the files required to use them, including a copy of a local Steam emulator if I choose to use Steam services.

This has been an official statement on behalf of my organization, halotroop. Hold us to it, in the event that we release any commercial games. https://halotroop.com

tl;dw Stop updating your PS5 console, wait for jailbreak, install SteamOS or sell console with outdated firmware at premium.

#StopKillingGames and #StopKillingInternet signed a letter against the UK govt blocking VPNs, and we SUCCEEDED!

We're proud to stand with @mozilla @protonprivacy , Reporters Without Borders, @amnesty and major VPNs!

We held our first major SKI partner meetup, with experts from around the world (see attached)

This builds on the letter we signed back in May against the Online Safety Act, to keep from making end-of-life plans for games far more difficult.
