Campaign to stop companies from making games unplayable

I doubt anything will come of it but it would be a nice requirement. I'm guessing it would apply to MMOs too and that's a huge chunk of what my game time goes to. I've even played a few MMOs on local servers just for me. It's an addiction I'll never break but I love them and get a lot of joy from them.
It hurts when the few I truly love die and my friends slowly drift apart. At least playing offline by myself I can sort of relive memories or do the stuff I never got to do.
Other than MMOs I don't think I've ever bought a game that required an online connection expecting it to last forever.

I try to stay away from DRM games, but nonetheless I fully support Ross in his endeavors here. Though ironically, the one game that I both care about and is at risk of dying, Wizard101, might actually BENEFIT from having the game made unplayable, because it has a big community to this day that is very frustrated at how Kingsisle's been handling the game, and would ABSOLUTELY find a way to crack it and run it privately if it ever died.

Never got why games can't just be Peer to Peer. Would cost the companies less money for upkeep and they can still charge their pay to win bullshit all the same.

online only games will die if their online only. seems companies still dont care. I think there'll be multiple games that die cause of this, its already been going on for quite a while.

Ragingether a lot of companies who run live service games want the playerbase to be completely dependent on them. E.G., why pay for microtransactions if you could just wait until the game expires and then get everything for free? It's part of the 'you'll own nothing' push that a lot of new money elites really want to see manifested.

If Ubisoft were calmly notified that this game they saw as a limited life service that would only be appealing while novel and shared with other people, in fact has fans who would enjoy it simply reworked into a solo experience, who would pay for that, they would probably have done so by now.

But this is being treated like a fight because the gamer rabble (with the exception of Ross) are retards who love to fight, saw this as a pretext for a fight, and are now waging a fight. Because degenerate retards love to go moral crusading more than anything else in the world. The language being thrown at Ubisoft is conspiratorial and psychotic. Charges rooted in some kind of moral failure are flying around all over the place. GREED being the big one. Nobody can explain how or why this is GREEDY, and every proposed explanation I've seen is absurd.

Making games unplayable is perhaps a shame in theory, but have we lost any seriously interesting games to this process so far? Ross thinks every game is interesting because he is an autistic sigma male who enjoys looking at the video game equivalents to old chuck e cheese attractions gathering dust in a warehouse. This is not most people. Most people need to be beaten over the head and told that they'll have a hand chopped off next time they try to accuse productive people of moral error for fun.

His new video goes over a lot of details and questions that people might get wrong. I'm definitely a fan of Ross and hope his attempts have at least some kind of success.
