@Tristafeyr @CMSX101 @MizutamariVT but even then, to make it run offline, it would require the software be refactored, a very tedious and costly process. and i doubt the utility of the minority of players sticking around then would be as high as during the live-service. unintended consequences and all

@Tristafeyr @CMSX101 @MizutamariVT if Fortnite close down, it will be after a long, exhausting drawn-out period of bleeding players for months and years, to the point it is no longer profitable to run the live-service. public in general would already be fed-up, but i get that some peeps would like it still

One of the interesting arguments the JP side has had against Stop Killing Games is that to make an offline version or would cost 50% to 100% more of the games original budget to do it. I'm not sure if this is just a blatant lie, genuine incompetence or total ignorance. We have guys with no access to the source code able to reverse engineer servers with, relatively speaking, minimal effort. If Joe Everyman can do it for 0 dollars in his basement without the nessecary information, how come companies that actually have that information apparently can't do?

「Stop Killing Games」のまとめ。なんかいっぱい絡まれたから海外ニキと対話（レスバじゃないよw）した結果、要求のレベルが３段階くらいあるのが分かった。サ終してもオフラインで動くようにしろ派：いまカリフォルニア州法に提出されてるライン。メーカーにとっては対応コスト高すぎなんや。どないすんねん…… サーバー立てる為にソースを公開しろ派：つまり俺らでサーバー立ててホスティングするわって話。ソースコードなんていう知財と企業秘密の塊をほいほい公開できるわけないやろアホタレって返した。（もう少し優しい言い方）勝手に解析してサーバー立てるから黙認しろ派：いまニーアのプライベートサーバーで盛り上がってる界隈かな。サーバー自体が法に触れるかは難しいけど、そのサーバーに繋ぐよう改造したアプリを撒くなら、それは紛れもなく「海賊版」なんだよね。あと共通点として。ゲームをオフライン版に改修するコストがほぼゼロだと思ってるっぽい。ゲームは「購入」して「所有」するものという認識で、ライブサービスを受けている自覚がない。大手メーカーをすげー嫌ってる。（でもゲームは買ってプレイしている）だいたいこんな感じかな。英語とスペイン語が多くて、英語話者もヨーロッパのアカウントが多い感じだった。

@Tristafeyr @CMSX101 @MizutamariVT not really, i have yet to encounter a live-service game where serve got closed before people in general are bored with it already. gaming is experience, it is fleeting, no need to make a game living on as zombie. that would be my general take.

@GunplaLibrarian @CMSX101 @MizutamariVT And you probably want to continue to play those games right? That's all we want too. This whole thing came about from Nier Reincarnation which closed down and can't be played anymore. We just want to be able to play that game.

@KiwiMeowahura @Tristafeyr @CMSX101 @MizutamariVT higher price because consumer would be expected to get more value from a game (the offline post live service now expected to be priced in), than just the value from the live service portion. higher value => higher price (regardless of the cost of production)

@GunplaLibrarian @Tristafeyr @CMSX101 @MizutamariVT Higher price for what exactly, always online games, Maybe, but even then, it would more likely become higher because of companies' greed. Single Player games would have literally no change in its pricing if devs actually do their jobs for once.

@GunplaLibrarian @inkblotPrincess You know the first licensed broadcast of the pokemon anime in vietnam were the black and white series, and not the original. Do you know why? It's because pirated dvds of the first 4 regions were so immensely popular it let to actual licensing to meet the demand

Critically, piracy does not actually harm the company. It is a lie. It's made up! The global anime market only exists thanks to piracy.

@MizutamariVT The crazy thing is some game companies like Capcom have already started doing things like this. The mobile game Megaman X Dive was given an offline version that you can buy on steam. I don't really get why they think its some impossible task when its already being done.

@SensOfKnowledge @sinpen NYC public subway is funded by taxes and fare that each rider paid. if you know 50% of rider skip-paying, therefore the public subway have to raise fee by 200% for the riders who pay, to stay afloat and continue to provide services, is it fair?

English

No one special@SensOfKnowledge·1d

That sounds like a miserable way to go through life, constantly worrying if other people paid more or less than you do. Would a Japanese customer feel bad if a store owner gave their friend free food 'on the house' or is just anime, manga, and video games that get this special rule?

まかべひろし@sinpen·1d

日本人には「他人がタダで使っているのに自分がお金払っているのは損をしている気持ちになる」という人が大変多く、企業が海賊版を黙認すると、この企業はタダで遊んでいる人を容認していることになり、お金を払うユーザーとの信頼関係が崩れるのです。サービスひとつだけでなく、顧客との関係損失。

初心カイ@syosin_kai

もし「サービスが終了したものは企業の損害にならないのでコピーは悪いことではないよね」という意識が一般化するとですね、「1円もサービスに金を使わず、早期サービス終了を願い、終了と同時にハックしてただで利用する」という行為が消費者的に最適解になってしまうんですよね

English

Nova@Mr_Novaxc·1d

@hk1p8 Absolutely wrong. Many Westerners WILL buy Japanese creations IF there is a legal way to do so. However in cases like this where the game is completely unavailable, then they go the pirate route, because there's literally no other way to get it.

Jdaflame (ジェイダフレイム)@Jdaflame·2d

My opinion is similar Japanese people’s opinions I see based on this topic. I don’t agree with piracy and sure it can seem justified if someone is genuinely poor and can’t afford media but I find it unacceptable and disrespectful to someone’s art or creation. This is why art in the west is in the state that it’s in, people don’t respect art nor the artist. People don’t want to buy music, games, or movies ect but then wonder why no one is investing their time in creating “good art”. It’s simply because fans see art as easily disposable once it’s done being consumed instead of acknowledging the time and effort to create something. I’m also someone that believes that if a piece of media doesn’t exist for purchase anymore then you just have to deal with it.

@MayB_Art Also kinda ironic how the canon Gunpla with the RG system doesn't have an RG version (I know the acronyms are different). Would've expected it to be a P-Bandai one at least if they didn't want to make it retail or an add on set to the RG, but it's just missing.

May:BE メイベ@MayB_Art·2d

Some parts, like the shoulder thrusters and grey elbows, don't light up when using the RG system. In some scenes, the ankle inner frame and where the shoulders meet the chest don't glow either. So you'd need to mix HGs to get a lore-accurate RG system build strike. ☝️🤓
