Guy who is the director of strategy for a publisher that only has thus far worked on a live-service game:
guys pleaaase don’t regulate live-service
we need a totally-deregulated industry for uhh innovation and stuff
do you want politicians telling you what games to play
this will kill the cash flow
what if people do sabotage to accelerate end-of-life to get private servers
please do not consider whether or not this is more likely or better than a studio just killing their own servers and litigating against people who try to preserve the game
its totally unsustainable to have right-to-repair erm uh emulation uuuuuhhhhh sorry post-end-of-life preservation
it’s disrespectful to holy IP praise be
you had the game for ten years already
who really cares about art preservation anyways
this is tyranny
Reminds me of how one of the dudes on Extra Credits channel was a consultant for like DLC and microtransactions and the channel kept making arguments why they're not inherently bad.
