>the 3 most cancerous vidya corporations are doing cancerous corporate shit again

wow stop the presses

>This would allow outsiders to recreate online game environments using server code that was never published in public
But they already do that?

They were right about mr. Shitface.

>not mentioning sony
Yout so(n)ygger is showing.

Is this the new milkies thread?

people scoff now, and won't have the discussion. But let's look back in another 15-20 years when it becomes a real problem and then you won't be scoffing but it'll be too late.

Publishers are in the wrong

>How dare they trying to stop us sell them remasters for all eternity.

Is this why Blizzard decided to offer a vanilla server or is it only a coincidence?

maybe

Yes post more and help me masturbate at work. Make me cum bro.

this is so fucking dumb

what, so people playing an online game from near 20 years ago with a now population of lets say 500 to 1000 is a THREAT to your fucking profits or some shit?

i very much doubt someone running a fucking Everquest server with like 10k-20k people MAX would eat into profits, which is all they are REALLY fucking concerned about.

its probably that too, they wouldn't be able to police their older dead games and if they were FORCED to, they wouldn't want to because ITS TOO HARD TO REMEMBER HOW TO FIX OLD GAMES!

you fuckers aren't running these servers anymore. fucking FF11 is gone, just let us HAVE IT! we still have to pay for fucking servers, why not agree to take like 80% of that as profit or something!?

man, fuck her
don't rub your huge boobs on my windshield if your fucking tag is gonna scratch it up!

take your tag off first, dummy!

sauce?

>But Nintendo are the good guises. They're not jooses like western companies.
Everytime.

>Electronic Arts, Nintendo, Ubisoft
Remove Nintendo and whole Reddit will screech over the death of gaming.

>scratching your window with a plastic tag
The metal snap might do some minor damage but the tag itself isn't going to do shit

because corporations are retarded and muh IP muh copyright muh you don't have the right.
if they had their way, all piracy roms would be erased and unobtainable at the government level.

yeah, but you prevent that by taking it off in the first place.

THEN you can rub your boobs all over my car!

>playing online games
here is your problem

What's this about a current exemption?

if anything, im surprised it took this long for nintendo roms to be taken off coolroms and shit.

i really would fucking think that most companies REALLY don't give a fuck, but laws fuck them over with the whole "if you don't use it, its public domain" or some shit.

i can't WAIT to see what is gonna happen in 10 years when fucking mickey mouse is FINALLY fucking public domain BY LAW.

B-BUT BASED JAPAN CAN'T DO NO WRONG

>But they won't host servers for the old games themselves.
Where's money in that? Even if they managed to sell more copies of old games it'd be chump change.

lol butthurt nintohdller

Disney is probably going to lobby to extend copyright yet again.

ESA is in the wrong.

So let the fucking players host their own servers!

Nintendo would rather all roms be erased and you impossible to find a physical copy, instead of either releasing them again themselves or you buying it on ebay a 20-30+ year old cart for hundreds of dollars. Nintendo and those other companies would rather those games rot then let you have them for free. What does that say to you?

>Sakurai asshurt more people playing Project M than Tr4sh
this is too funny

>10 years when fucking mickey mouse is FINALLY fucking public domain BY LAW.
lol
Disney is currently expanding their lobbying efforts to Congress. They're probably going to be getting them to extend copyright again.
Also, it's not Mickey Mouse who's public domain, it would just be Steamboat Willy

They are spiteful Japanese manlets, the decision is not made with logic in mind.

Since OP/the article were too lazy to post the full ESA member list:
ActiBlizz
Bamco
Bethesda
Capcom
Deep Silver
Disney Interactive
EA
Epic
Focus Interactive
Gearbox
Konami
Level 5
M$
Natsume
Nexon
Nintendo
Nvidia
Sony
Squarenix
Take 2
Tencent
THQ
Ubisoft
WB
Xseed

There were a few others, but I've never heard of them before.

bull

they had fucking 100 DAMN YEARS
you don't GET to fucking do that
not even jews should be able to go over that shit

They already did it several times.

fuck that

i want them to cry over this shit
I WANT TO WIN FOR ONCE!!!!!!!!

>My god it's full of cancer

They will always lobby for extending copyright. Even though they barely use him anymore, Disney will never let Mickey Mouse go public domain.

If you don't want Disney to extend it, get more money then them and outlobby them poorfags

So all the most wealthy and ruthless of publishers want it so you rather have nothing then have their 10-20+ year old software for free in any way. Let that sink in Cred Forums. If they had their way too, you'd buy the game 4-5 times.

ABSORUTERY BASED NIHON

copyright for fiction should be at most 10 years

>Nvidia

Im boycotting all these companies from now on

>not pirating ur graphics card

this is so funny to me, like why even bother doing that? Nobody gives a shit about mickey mouse anymore, not even bootlegging third worlders. Disney themselves haven't done anything with mickey mouse in recent years save those few youtube shorts. He's nothing but an unneeded logo now, Disney is big enough to make do without him. all they gotta do is slap that castle they have in the beginning of their movies on as their new logo and call it a day.

isn't copyright law literally from the 1600 or 1800s or some shit and it was written so strict for that time yet corporations still use it today? why does it never get changed or updated to better suit todays conditions? I'm not law expert but inform me.

I already do for the most part, should be pretty easy to continue.

it fucking really should
most people make all their money from their shit, especially huge companies, in like 3 years since release. because at that fucking point, its old and no one can buy it new anymore so they aren't putting in new money.

shit, why don't they ALSO get pissed that people sell used games like gamestop? that cuts into profits and copyright, etc etc

MY NOSE CAN ONLY GET SO FUCKING CROOKED!

because the people with the most amount of money don't want it changed, simple as that

>companies crying over low-budget foundations potentially offering a chance to try 20-30 year old MMOs and shit
>desperately afraid this will be direct competition
So they're finally admitting that older games were made better, and current shitfests have absolutely nothing to offer.
I guess when you look at shit like SWBattlefront though, you can kind-of see the point.

>i can't WAIT to see what is gonna happen in 10 years when fucking mickey mouse is FINALLY fucking public domain BY LAW.
Nothing'll happen because Disney secured him as a trademark, a character with secondary meaning (Mickey => Disney).

It's not just Nintendo, just about every company holding rights to decent old games are on the list.

No one's asking those companies to hand over their server farms or code. People can reverse engineer it just like they do now.

>Who is in the wrong?
You for posting my wife without permission!

It changes all the time

For example "Beat It" won't enter public domain until 2079

Greed is a weapon of mass destruction.

Big Boobies :D

i like butts :(

large butts

on the other hand Sony and Sega seems to be chill with ISOs as long as they're for obsolete consoles

Sony management was even surprised that people still want to play old games

>LAN parties at the Library of Congress bankrupt major video game publisher
Does this sound like a plausible scenario?

>Sony management was even surprised that people still want to play old games
with the gorillions remasters they are making?

They are good too :)

Good wife user, too bad I never got her limited SSR

fuck video games amirite

yes what is up with that

Those thousands of Battlefield 2 Revive players were killing EA finances so we had to shut them down goy.

Don't pay attention to laws. The more people pay attention to them the more they inhibit output.

Pirate everything. Pay for what you like.
Video games shouldn't be a buisiness. Devs should never ascociate with publishers. Games should be made available online and with a way for devs to be thanked.

Pay no tax, moderate no content.

bobbies haha

They only "remaster" games they have already "remastered" in the past or are less than 10 years old.
Also a "remaster" is just a port for a newer console.

And now you suddenly realise that these companies are using 20 years old netcode in their games and this is the exact reason why they're afraid that somebody else may utilize it. They barely did anything to improve it in the first place because it doesn't make money.

Lel)))))

I love capitalism!!!

What a boldfaced lie.

Better than communism

>Sony
>decent games
Does not compute.

Communism is not the polar-opposite of capitalism.

Your mom is.

>Where's money in that?
They're literally arguing that there's money in it which is why it shouldn't be allowed.

>Capcom
>Tencent (SNK owners)

They are okay with fightcade/GGPO and have even paid to get the netcode. 3S on fightcade is the reason Capcom won't release 3SOE on PC.

Is she?
Ho that's right, we forgot to pay her last night.....

Never said it was

You should've already been boycotting Capcom.

funni

stupid fucking cuck kill yourself btw

that was so fucking petty i don't know what to say about it

I said a lot of companies having good decades old games were on the list, not that all on the list have this property.

>not being a theocratic-conservative-orthodox-christian-jingoist
ISHYGDDT

this guy's art is great but he only does these boring teases and nothing else, the blueness is gay too

I like that half-assed attempt to derail thread.
Just look at it from other perspective. This guy tries to accomplish so many things:
>make people stop discussing something important
>line up thread for deletion
>make people despise anime tits more than they do already, hoping to start another of /those/ threads
Tell me, how nice it feels to work for bad guys? Do you get off right now? Do you do that simply for money, or illusion of power, or out of hope you won't be thrown to rats once it's all over?

What is this? A blueprint for fuck dolls?

>derail
Have you seen OPs picture?

>3S on fightcade is the reason Capcom won't release 3SOE on PC.

why not? Sega and SNK released plenty of retro games on PC without running around and DMCAing every romsite

666 Gorillions hours in photoshop

I'm literally only here for the bobs.

I'll show you big boobies.

>>make people despise anime tits more than they do already

Didn't read haha

Didn't do it because they knew sales would be ass since fightcade exists. They know people will just say "Fuck Capcom" and end it at that.

:D

Daily reminder that if you value the market then you should want copyright to only be about 10 years after creation for the majority of industries.
If you want it to be longer, such as the current death + 50-70 years, then you are directly valuing the individual over the market.

Sega was not on the list?

sorry we dont have to deal with potentially getting raped every day on the way to work, you third world monkey

>all existing cars should be destroyed at the end of the year because they get in the way of us selling people new cars

>something games companies would generally charge for
Then charge money for it instead of abandoning the game. If a service is profitable, provide it. If it's not profitable, don't block other people from providing it.

Vidya suffers badly from planned obsolescence.

>copyright
>an idea is worth money
Kek

Damn sure California would do this one if they could.

do you really think sega cares if someone has a pso server in 2018

That's because he's not a porn artist.

>draws bobs 24/7
>not a porn artist

Sega hates this shit as much or more than anybody. Though in their case, it's less about copyright, and more about the fact that the more people understand about their code, the more they actually have to put work in protecting it from cheaters rather than slapping on gameguard and calling it a night.

>>make people despise anime tits more than they do already
wot

Yea Cred Forums isn't for talking about video games it's for arguing about politics and chanting the word soy.

>Hihihi, there is boobs, so it's porn!

>Who was in the wrong?
Who the fuck do you think you retarded shitty animeposting jew.

>Of course, I'm here for the shota dick!!

>new games are so shit and people burn through them so fast so we need to find a way to squeeze even more shekels from the goyim
THERE its all you had to type OP.

I mean on one hand I get it because, after all, they funded those games and owns to rights to do as they see fit. But on the other hand this is just clear fear their new rehashes won't sell if those older games are around in any capacity.

Sega is a weird company with very weird priorities. They sometimes have a very naive attitude toward online gaming.

There's a difference between figure art and intentionally arousing art, I bet you think pic related isn't porn.

>Who is in the wrong?
The US government. Copyright should never have lasted longer than 14 years + another 14 as an optional extension.

Here's a better version.

...

kek

The amount of shitposting on the level of peanus weenus is kind of sad

I miss the old days where trolling was a art and people at least discussed the OP, even if just tangentially

boobies haha

*plop* *plap* *plop*
whatever you say, fag.

So it's true then, there is no based company in gaming.

There's no SEGA there

Obsidian and Larian are missing. As are Grinding Gear Games and Warhorse.

Devolver Digital isn't on there and they make pretty consisten games.

Let's be "rational" the way video game companies are rational.
Supporting any company means said company can and will get enough resources to influence politics against the interests of the customers that made it rich in the first place.
As such consumers should avoid paying those companies any time possible.

Who the fuck cares about this copyright shit?

>The companies argue that libraries [...] might exploit such a right for commercial purposes, competing with other games
>libraries
>commercial purposes
who the fuck wrote this?
