PlayStation manipuluje danymi!
Według ich raportów, 85% sprzedanych gier na PS to wersje cyfrowe. Tak, ale liczą tam dostępne tylko cyfrowo indyki, starsze produkcje czy nawet GRY Z PLAYSTATION+. To absurd.
Tymczasem wyciek wewnętrznych danych z Insomniac Games pokazał jasno(1/2)

An irony of @PlayStation going 100% digital and needing wifi to play games is if The Last of Us were to take place now or in 2028 all those PS5s and PS6s would just be bricks in the apocalypse.

You heard it here, folks @theESA declared Minecraft and Call of Duty private servers illegal in today's hearing on the POG Act

@accursedfarms All they can so is lie. Im just commenting to help boost the post.

Hello outlaws! Jennifer Gibbons, VP of the Entertainment Software Association said Minecraft community servers are ILLEGAL. Thank you for lying about the law to the California Senate in public, it lets everyone see what we've been up against.

To those doomering or doomposting about #StopKillingGames, how we failed, or our chances are dead because the ECI is over, we have a message that goes back to the times before we reached 1 million signatures: It's not over until it's over.

We have multiple paths to victory here

I'll be appearing for the first part of a #StopKillingGames stream at 15:00 UTC tomorrow (June 16th) talking about the EU Commission's answer. You can flip a coin as to what their decision will be, but we have backup plans to move forward either way.

Updates on the Stop Killing Games campaign! The short version is we're in a good position, though it hasn't been easy.

🏛️ Parliament gets it. Now the Commission has to act.

MEPs from across the political spectrum backed @StopKillingGames today, including direct calls for legislation.

🎮 Paid-for games should not be destroyed by a business decision.

From the far left to the far right, support was clear, with more than 20 MEPs personally speaking in our favor.

⚖️ With or without the Commission, SKG moves forward.

You've seen ESA's response to the Protect our Games Act, now see our counter-response:

[Accursed Farms @accursedfarms]

While too big for #StopKillingGames to tackle directly, SKG supports pushback against the age verification laws, which will make distros of Linux illegal in CA and have caused the game Urban Dead to be killed. This could potentially outlaw private servers.

It's interesting seeing the industry double down on proving just how badly end of life plans are needed for games. This is exactly the sort of thing #StopKillingGames wants regulators / MEPs to see. Customers increasingly have no protections when it comes to video games.

The European Parliament just held a hearing on “Stop Killing Videogames”, and it actually looks very positive for players.

This is the first real push to stop publishers from selling games and then disabling them later. I broke down the key points from the 40min hearing below🧵

[PC Gamer @pcgamer]

Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively' https://t.co/OHVHt66lvm

[Toby James @Gandhi_Toby]

@AirTitus I think internally they'll need to self evaluate and cut bloat. Most of the coast isnt even going into making the game but hiring big names and marketing, at least in the west. Is it nice to get a big name actor to help sell your game? Yes. Is it needed? Not really.

[Toby James @Gandhi_Toby]

@AirTitus I guess if AAA wants to that and it sell thats fine. People do like those types of games. Then indie games, like e33 (most popular one right now i can think off) and the rest can take risks and let AAA know there's games out there people do want. There's more to games than AAA.

[Toby James @Gandhi_Toby]

@Pati_chu_ @PokeDuelsTikTok Youre asking too much

[Stop Killing Games Official @StopKilingGames]

We made major strides for #StopKillingGames in @Europarl_EN today! What a day!

We'll publish our press conference (thanks to @EuropeanPirates & @marketkag!) to YouTube shortly. Enjoy the hearing and Ross's words in the meantime:

The Stop Killing Games movement has officially backed the proposed California bill focused on protecting players when online games are shut down.

> Publishers must provide an offline mode or a way to keep the game playable after server shutdown.

> If this is not possible, players should receive a full refund.

> The goal is to protect digital ownership and game preservation.

This proposal follows growing concerns over games becoming completely inaccessible once support ends, especially after shutdowns like The Crew.

Most gamers think that if players pay for a game, it should remain playable or be fairly compensated.
