   Apparently the faggot from Pirate Software is opposing the Stop Killing Games initiative spearheaded by Ross.
   
   The way he represents the points of the initiative, as well as his simping for live service games, and immediately trying to hide behind the excuse of "oh well this makes it harder for developers, triple A and indie" makes me think he's opposition, likely of the paid variety but whatever the case all I can see is that he is acting in bad faith.

     @TopBep "It will kiss the entire live service industry."
     
     That's the point.

     This video is what caused me to look into this, the pinned comment man.
     
     When he says "undue burden" on developers, who does he really mean here?
     
     Story, art of all kinds, sound/music, doesn't sound like these would be affected, which would mean programming, QA/test, and security. But as long as they know what the requirements are up front, is it really that much more of a burden on them? Isn't it much more of a burden to have always online servers and DRM servers?

     @TopBep I guess when Nasu turns FGO into a VN after EoS that means my local copy of it gives me ownership of the license for the franchise. Who knew?

     His shills are very special.
     
     I can't believe we own the IP to Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, TF2, and so many other games when we host private servers, I never knew guys.
     
     Do I own the IP to Diablo when I spin up Diablo 2 class lan with my buddies?

     @TopBep @smugumin All they have to do at end of life is add a server browser and allow connections to other servers.
     
     People with systems that have tons of RAM (like those with AM4 systems with 128 GB of RAM) could easily spin up a VM running a server. Particularly those who leave their computers on all the time.

     @smugumin What a faggot. "At a cost and burden on their studio" You mean the design requirement which they set for themselves? Is this guy really a developer?

     I will say that pirate faggot is extremely good at pissing me off. He responded freshly to some points that were leveraged against him, they're all clearly bullshit, but perhaps what bothers me the most is how he stylizes himself as a dev and is implying that he is speaking on behalf of game dev on this issue, when there are developers that agree with Ross, and I imagine they are in the majority if you ask them, such as the Ultrakill dev and the Postal devs.

     So basically he's doing exactly what everyone was concerned about when they started doing the "license" shit, and arguing for "buy but not own". :nacho_disgust:
     
     Also lmao at "I don't have a conflict of interest!!!! :soy_cope: ". My guy, you're literally a high-level employee at the company, you have a vested interest in them performing well, you're clearly biased and acting like a greedy little cunt. If I don't get the right to own my game, they don't get the right to have my money. :shrug:

     @Giganova8 @TopBep I'm glad he's chosen to be so open and aggressive in his faggotry. Hubris can be a great gift.
