It’s amazing what a difference a little bit of time can make: Two years after kicking off what looked to be a long-shot campaign to push back on the practice of shutting down server-dependent videogames once they’re no longer profitable, Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner appeared in front of the European Parliament to present their case—and it seemed to go very well.

    And i dont like Elden Ring or Nindendo, but those were all big releases.

    I just find it funny when people complain about something and when given proof that they are not correct they start to move the goal post.

    Ie. List that contains only small portion of recent non live service games --> “well i dont like some of them”

      The words before the list gave me the impression that the list was not meant to be just live service free games but good ones. If it’s meant to be just a list of big releases then sure. Intent and tone don’t always convey well over the internet.

        Isint “good game” little vague description? Are you the president what is good?

        And the point is that there are thousands of games to choose from, but you bitch that there are only live service shit on the market.

          I bitch about live stream games? When? And “good” was simply using the same word as you in an attempt to maintain some semblance of continuity in discussion which was apparently meaningless since you seem incapable of that, since the me in your head apparently gets bonus dialogue lines nobody else gets to see
