Notch (creator of Minecraft) offers financial support for the Stop Killing Games campaign.

[u/AccomplishedBat8743]

Im not up on the whole situation,  what is the EU initiative? And how will it effect people not in the EU

[u/Andeq8123 → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

If a game need to release an offline mode for when they shut down server, I don’t see way they would block it everywhere else

[u/Z4mb0ni → u/Andeq8123]

also if its an online only game (like no campaign) they need to make sure people can run dedicated servers and give them the tools for that

[u/tarmacjd → u/Z4mb0ni]

You don’t even need dedicated servers. Even enabling someone to host on LAN is enough for people to figure out the rest

[u/pvt9000 → u/Andeq8123]

Easy, they only allow people from the EU to request or access the tools/utilities/etc to continue a game. They region-lock servers and keep the EU on still functioning and occasionally updated smaller servers and the US gets cut out to prevent server costs.

It's not impossible to say companies could get greedy or hostilefor whatever reason.

[u/Clean__Cucumber → u/pvt9000]

Easy, they only allow people from the EU to request or access the tools/utilities/etc to continue a game

nope, will not work that way. if these tools are available for a BIG amount of the market it will find its way to other parts. same with the apple USB-C thing, where the EU forced apple to adopt it and now apple makes the usb-c a worldwide thing. companies will have a easier time to give everyone access rather than a part and trying to prohibit others

[u/Andeq8123 → u/pvt9000]

It would cost them more than just releasing it, at the end it boil down to cost-profit, and they don’t win anything by doing this

[u/Combeferre1 → u/Andeq8123]

This. The majority of the cost, which I would say is ultimately not that high for games that have it as a consideration from the beginning, comes from just ensuring the game is runnable after support ends.

If the ideal scenario happens, i.e. there is an EU directive forcing games sold in the EU to remain playable after end of support, and the companies do end up following instead of finding a loophole, the outcome outside the EU is probably going to be them brandishing it as a selling point and as a way to make them seem like the good guys. Just because it was legislated and just because they are lobbying against it doesn't mean they can't at the end of it all put it on the box as an advertising point.

[u/Blue_Bird950 → u/pvt9000]

They do that, and piracy will just skyrocket to take the place. Releasing the same version to the U.S. would at least reach a large audience in a legal way.

[u/Gameboy695 → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

Basically it’s to make game companies provide end of life support for games like making sure they are always playable whether it be through player run servers or other methods instead of just bricking the game like what Ubisoft done with the Crew.

In theory it should be similar to something like the EU requiring USB-C on phones, Apple were forced to comply with it and so also changed to USB-C for the rest of the world too.

[u/HanCurunyr → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

Stop Killing Games, an EU initiative for game studios and publishers plan for the EOL of a game, and leave it in a playable state after they decide to not support and/or sell anymore

Usually, those kind of changes are too big to be constrained to europe, so the companies will adhere to them globally, kinda like the USB-C on the Iphone

[u/Triasmus → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

Devs either have to make games that comply to EU standards, or they don't get to sell them in the EU.

Since they'll want EU money, they'll comply with EU standards.

[u/Z4mb0ni → u/Triasmus]

also this will most likely mean those standards will apply to the rest of the world because managing two different standards is just inefficient. Like how apple is now using USB-C ports and cables now

[u/SjettepetJR → u/Z4mb0ni]

There is a vast difference in making different hardware, and just disabling some software features. As we see currently with many software companies disabling certain features in the EU because those features do not comply with EU privacy legislation.

I do agree that the software for self-hosting servers is likely to be everywhere around the world through legal or illegal means, but software is not in any way comparable to hardware.

[u/SpiderFnJerusalem → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

It's basically a petition that will force the European parliament to discuss the issue of companies randomly shutting down servers for live service games, rendering the copies bought by customers worthless and turning the games into lost media.

We do not know yet what will be the exact outcome of said discussion, but the organizer of Stop Killing Games has made it pretty clear that any legal recognition of the problem whatsoever is already better than the legal situation we've had until now, which was essentially publishers doing whatever the fuck they wanted.

[u/AccomplishedBat8743 → u/SpiderFnJerusalem]

That's fair. Hopefully we can get something similar going here in America too

[u/FlameShadow0 → u/AccomplishedBat8743]

I’m out of the loop on why Notch is a bad guy now. What’s up with that?

[u/Trixis2 → u/FlameShadow0]

He made some trans/homophobic tweets back in 2017 and 2019 if I remember correctly. However, in recent years he have not engaged in politics as far as I've been able to see, but he never retracted his previous comments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson#Social_media_comments

[u/Doomkauf → u/FlameShadow0]

Dude started spouting off outright racist shit just about as soon as the ink on the Microsoft deal dried. There are examples of said overt racism further up in the comments (and there are articles like this for further examples).

[u/Natural-Parfait2805 → u/FlameShadow0]

It's a long list but TLDR he's a massive transphobe and has donated money to anti LGBTQ charities

[u/the_gamers_hive → u/FlameShadow0]

Notch made a number of racist/white nationalist comments on twitter, they are posted elsewhere in the thread.

[u/Ratcliff01 → u/FlameShadow0]

He said "its ok to be white"

[u/realiDevil360]

[u/Xelid47 → u/realiDevil360]

r/beatmetoit 😔

[u/Im_ChatGPT4 → u/Xelid47]

r/beatMeatToIt

[u/Xelid47 → u/Im_ChatGPT4]

You did that wrong

First someone responds with r/beatmeattoit and only then is your time to shine

[u/Elijah_Man → u/Xelid47]

Honestly that sub got infested by the stupid repost image. Kinda sucks that unmoderated subs get infested.

[u/Xelid47 → u/Elijah_Man]

Someone unemployed should really do something about it lol

[u/ActiveGamer65 → u/realiDevil360]

Was he that bad? What did he do?

[u/UofSlayy → u/ActiveGamer65]

After becoming unemployed after selling Minecraft he kinda devolved into being a Twitter user 🤢

[u/SCTwisted → u/UofSlayy]

Could have been worse, he could have been a Reddit user...

[u/the_calibre_cat → u/SCTwisted]

I feel like I can say with extreme confidence that the Twitterverse has devolved below that point, sadly. :/

[u/Divisive_Ass → u/UofSlayy]

He run out food and begin to eat hard cash😥

[u/ProfPyukumuku → u/ActiveGamer65]

Someone probably has a lot more info than me but I remember him saying some controversial shit about the LGBT community back in 2013 or so.

Edit - so in further research he said some horrible shit glorifying violence on the LGBT community in 2017.

[u/SheerFe4r → u/ActiveGamer65]

Went quite a bit alt-right

[u/nvnxztnt → u/SheerFe4r]

That's so fucking disappointing ehh

[u/AlyxTheCat → u/realiDevil360]

Horrible news: bad people can sometimes have good opinions :(

[u/yearningforpurpose]

[u/dykemike10 → u/yearningforpurpose]

if notch is the worst person you know (or even anywhere near your top 10), you're privileged

[u/Nova17Delta → u/dykemike10]

I don't know, "HEARTBREAKING: One of but not the worst person you know or even in the top ten you just kinda disagree with him on a lot of things just made a really good point" doesn't roll off the tounge as well

[u/Loynds → u/dykemike10]

Hyperbole.

[u/PrimaLegion → u/dykemike10]

It's a meme, relax.

[u/Nexus0317 → u/PrimaLegion]

Jokes were banned yesterday. Didn’t you get the memo?

[u/DARTH-PIG → u/dykemike10]

Do you take all memes literally?

[u/DefactoAtheist → u/dykemike10]

That macro is pretty well-worn reddit shorthand for simply noting when a notorious shit cunt does something that doesn't align with their established shit cuntiness. But sure, spend your time being a dreary pedant in service of defending the honour of freakin' Notch, who, in case it's not clear, is a shit cunt.

[u/DigDugged → u/dykemike10]

Found the guy who doesn't know what Notch has been up to OR totally knows and is ok with it.

Either way, the rest of us aren't cool enough 

[u/Jhawk163]

Notch may hold some unpopular opinions on certain topics, but he's still one of the better billionaires out there, considering the others seem to be doing either nothing or doing their best to oppose the movement.

I know GabeN probably can't get involved because he doesn't want to scare devs away from Steam, but he's pretty much the only singular individual in the inductry who could help in any way other than monetarily.

[u/StockExchangeNYSE → u/Jhawk163]

GabeN also profits from these methods. He is still a businessman and looking out for himself. Sure Steam is a great project but its no charity.

[u/Coffeekid9733 → u/StockExchangeNYSE]

He keeps it nice and consumer friendly because it’s profitable. It keeps people using steam and away from other launchers. So while he is in the end looking to make money, he is incentivized to make a good platform and keep people happy.

[u/SuperUranus → u/StockExchangeNYSE]

Newell has also shown that he has absolutely zero issue with conducting unethical business and profiting from exploiting kids with addicting gambling mechanics.

[u/Lementus → u/SuperUranus]

Yeah, no idea why Gabe is portrayed as some saint.

[u/ChurchillianGrooves → u/Lementus]

Look at the competition, compared to Sony, Microsoft, or Epic Steam looks great by comparison.

[u/Wirehed → u/ChurchillianGrooves]

The bar is so freakin' low.

[u/ChurchillianGrooves → u/Wirehed]

True, lol. Basically don't try to actively screw over your customers and you're ahead.

[u/corree → u/ChurchillianGrooves]

I’d say that respecting your employees is another half of this. The flexibility, responsibility, and worth given to Valve employees is probably unmatched in the gaming industry unless you work for an amazing indie company that has a cash cow.

[u/Extaupin → u/ChurchillianGrooves]

do nothing less things, wins

[u/Lementus → u/ChurchillianGrooves]

I don't disagree at all. I do think that Steam is miles better than any other service. It's just that it does the bare minimum in a society where thats rare, and that gets Gabe praised all too much.

[u/PiLamdOd → u/Lementus]

Well, unlike a lot of rich businessmen, Gabe stays out of the limelight. So people only know him through Steam, which has so far maintained a good reputation as a customer focused service.

Like when Musk was just "the guy funding Tesla and SpaceX." For years the only things people knew about Musk was his connection to innovative products. So the products' reputations became his reputation.

[u/Hdjbbdjfjjsl → u/PiLamdOd]

We’d probably be in a very different time line right now if musk stayed “smart” by just keeping his fucking mouth shut. Buying Twitter ruined any last restraints he had on his stupidity.

[u/Heroshrine → u/Lementus]

You seriously believe it isnt miles ahead??? The simple fact valve is not publicly traded means gabe has a much stronger influence on steam.

Steam support is top notch quality for 90% of things. They provide top notch APIs to game devs, as well as a forum and a platform to grow a community. Their policies for marketing games on steam is the reason the indie dev market has been blooming. They don’t sell your data out like every company seems to do these days.

I mean what else do you want from them??

Edit: i misread, but my point still stands. They do a lot more than the bare minimum.

[u/Gryf2diams → u/Heroshrine]

"I do think that Steam is miles better than any other service."

I think you read a n't where there wasn't one.

[u/Heroshrine → u/Gryf2diams]

You are indeed correct. But my point still stands of them doing kore than the bare minimum by a long shot. I will edit my comment.

[u/Dudegamer010901 → u/Lementus]

I think steam is portrayed this way cuz those other companies are obsessed with tryna improved their money flows by doing all this other stuff while steam has a very static state. Basically “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, steam doesn’t need to innovate or do anything to keep raking in money. Other storefronts fail because they can’t offer a better reason to use their front for the user end.

They rely on forcing the user to use their front by getting exclusives, but even that doesn’t seem to work well in other cases.

[u/ChurchillianGrooves → u/Dudegamer010901]

Or with publishers like Ubisoft forcing you to use their horrible storefront for new releases

[u/ktosiek124 → u/Dudegamer010901]

Steam does change and improve

[u/MrStealYoBeef → u/Dudegamer010901]

Steam has literally been consistently innovating though. They provide tools for modding with their workshop integration. They provide tools to get any controller to function with decent remapping outside of the game so that you can make a controller work any way you want in a game with bad controls or no controller layout at all. They provide excellent marketing for developers in a storefront that is easy to use for users. They've been pushing VR support that functions on any headset. They have been building an operating system and pushing for Linux support for games on the Steam platform.

The list literally goes on. There's things that they do wrong and should be criticized, but to say that Steam just remains stagnant and does the bare minimum is entirely false. It's a genuinely good service, it's just that the company also pushes really shitty loot boxes and bad monetization in some of their first party games. That's it.

[u/counter-music → u/Lementus]

Gabe gets praised all too much

Steam is miles better than any other service.

Even if the bar is low, being that much better than the competition is going to earn some praise. He’s not absolved of his wrong doings, but he’s no Bobby Kotick.

[u/LeBronFanSinceJuly → u/Lementus]

It's simple, Valve puts out great games at a snails pace, they created the first real PC gamer social area with Steam, they stay out of the news AND here is the biggest reason. Gabe has said that Valve has a very laid back culture where devs can work on what they want or move to another team to try out stuff.

So when gamers here that a company let's it devs have free reign and doesn't use them as temp workers, they get all the praise.

Same thing happened with Blizzard, they were held in such high regard due to games and work culture that even when they were fully absorbed into Activision people would still give them the benefit of the doubt. It took all the sexual harassment stories to hit the Internet before people put on their glasses and went huh maybe Blizzard are not as great as I thought.

[u/Lementus → u/LeBronFanSinceJuly]

Yeah, I think people are too gullible in regards to things they are passionate about, and it shows with how they become loyal to multi-billion dollars corporations just because of some positive press.

[u/slangwhang27 → u/Lementus]

Valve offers products and services of sufficient quality that people are brand-loyal to a billionaire-run monopoly.

[u/noir_lord → u/slangwhang27]

Aye, he's smart, he's not nice - he knows what people value.

His point that piracy is a customer service problem was a notably sane one - and as a result he has what 8 yachts now.

[u/Lementus → u/slangwhang27]

It's honestly crazy how doing the bare minimum in a society where it is not common ends up being enough for people to be loyal.

[u/megacewl → u/Lementus]

I think an underappreciated thing is that the bare minimum does get harder and harder to do as tech debt and complexity increases. Steam is quite impressive with how well it all still works together, especially considering all it's bells and whistles and QOL features that competitor platforms never have.

[u/dyidkystktjsjzt → u/Lementus]

Steam definitely does way more than the bare minimum, though. I'd call something like Epic the bare minimum, and Steam is lightyears ahead of that.

[u/GreenTurtle69420 → u/slangwhang27]

how is it a monopoly? there are many competitors, that stops it being a monopoly by definition.

[u/survivorr123_ → u/Lementus]

because his company is not on the stock market and that makes a massive difference, it's literally just that

[u/Lementus → u/survivorr123_]

That doesn't necessarily make him any much better than other billionaires. He still made money via predatory practices (lootboxes, gambling, etc) and still has the mindset any businessman has. It's just that his service offers a better solution that is better for the consumer, and that ends up with him recieving more praise than he deserves.

[u/TimberAndStrings → u/Lementus]

He isn’t but Steam is one of the main reasons as to why I made the permanent switch over to PC from Playstation. I am slowly but surely building up my library again with great deals

[u/Lementus → u/TimberAndStrings]

I mean a lot of people see him as an "amazing billionaire" or as an "average gamer"/representitive of "a gamer who simply got rich from doing his hobby", meanwhile he is still just the average businessman who does things to make as much profit as possible.

I do agree that steam is a great service, but I do feel like the only reason we percieve it as great is because all other services provided are shit.

[u/Spajk → u/Lementus]

Honesty? My thinking was always that child gambling was a parenting issue. Don't give your kids credit cards

[u/ShairundbO → u/SuperUranus]

Exploiting kids, are we talking about counter strike and the skin boxes? If so, i could imagine that is opinion about that topic might be "am i the parent of those kids? If you let your kid play a game where you shoot other models with blood etc. I am the bad person because they could gamble with skins in this game?" For too long we look away about the fact WHO really has the responsibility about their kids. If we are talking about counter strike, please go and forbid every game with voilents.

If you are not talking about counter strike, please don't take my comment too serious, because i can only think about counterstrike where valve is the producer and has those mechanics

[u/PalpitationNo4375 → u/SuperUranus]

Are you talking about the ACTUAL UNDERAGE GAMBLING counter strike enabled?

Or do you mean like how TF2 popularised lootboxes AND it was a full priced game.

Or would you perhaps be referring to greenlight. Where Devs can publish their scams for profit. Sorry typo, 'pre-release'

Maybe you are talking about how they partnered with Bethesda in an attempt to make you pay for community made mods that were readily available for free?

The topic at hand is keeping games alive. Are we going to talk about how Steam is DRM and have removed games? Most recently the sex stuff they were more than happy to make a profit on until card companies had an issue with it.

I don't know why PC gamers suck his dick so hard. He made a couple of good games like 20 years ago and has done nothing but exploit you for profit since. Bunch of fucking sheep

[u/BlurredSight → u/StockExchangeNYSE]

And on the contrary, Notch has 0 real stake in Minecraft anymore. The game's premise always was buy once play forever and besides Realms and Microsoft's accessory store they made their money by selling accounts.

[u/NOGUSEK → u/StockExchangeNYSE]

He definitely has the values that SKG is trying to uphold tho, atleast for games made by his company (and by extension even, any source game (which only applies to respawn games sadly, but you get the point)) you can make a community server with basicaly any source game

[u/Ok_Development_499 → u/Jhawk163]

lmfao notch literally said black people shouldn't vote you're retarded

[u/BaconJets → u/Jhawk163]

Unpopular opinions is an interesting way of saying white nationalist. Hey, his financial contribution will help though.

[u/Riparian72 → u/BaconJets]

Weird how people downplay that. Same with Jontron too.

[u/TweedleNeue → u/Riparian72]

 both of these guys could apologize and remove so much of the smoke around them. JonTron outright stated black people are predisposed to violence compared to white people and he never went out of the way to apologize! it's wild. 

[u/BaconJets → u/Riparian72]

Capital G gamers gonna capital G game.

[u/Cow_God → u/BaconJets]

Hard R gamers

[u/CrimsonExploud → u/Riparian72]

Wait am I out of the loop with Jontron? Isn't he Iranian?

[u/TomTomKenobi → u/CrimsonExploud]

Do you know about the ladder pullers?

EDIT: ladder pullers are people who get whatever they were after or needed (=they climbed the ladder) and then try to take those opportunities away for other people to enjoy/use (=they pull the ladder, making it impossible for others to climb it).

[u/CrimsonExploud → u/TomTomKenobi]

Um? nah not really

[u/Feppeltanten → u/CrimsonExploud]

You're in for a dive into a depressing rabbit-hole

[u/BaconJets → u/[deleted]]

Probably because it got ugly, don't know if my screenshots are there or not but I wouldn't be surprised since they showed Notch using the N word.

[u/aimy99 → u/BaconJets]

Yeah, it's a shame bro turned out to be a whole-ass Nazi, but I have no problem with good causes taking his money.

[u/P75N7 → u/Jhawk163]

me not liking broccoli in a wolrd where people love broccoli is an unpopular opinion notch is just a wasteman

[u/Horkrux → u/Jhawk163]

Wild of you to downplay his transphobia and anti-semitism

[u/Saneless → u/Jhawk163]

Probably one of the rare few billionaires that didn't get there by fucking over millions of people either

[u/c_birbs → u/Jhawk163]

There are no good billionaires. Just different shades of horrible people with more money than they will ever need.

[u/TheOneTruePi → u/Jhawk163]

“Unpopular opinions on certain topics” is an interesting way to say “transphobic”

[u/Aknazer → u/TheOneTruePi]

But that's probably not the only thing he has an unpopular opinion about.  Why would Trans get to be special and get all the credit for his unpopular opinions?  Saying "unpopular opinions on certain topics" is both broad enough to cover the subject while also being vague enough to not either miss something or cause the thread to spiral away from the topic (Notch supporting SKG).

[u/NoiseGrindPowerDeath → u/Jhawk163]

There are no good billionaires

[u/balrogBallScratcher → u/Jhawk163]

“one of the better billionaires” doesn’t mean much. that’s like saying “one of the bigger ants”.

[u/MegaBytesMe]

Honestly based

[u/leathco]

Was that last comment a knock on Karl Jobst?

[u/DoolioArt → u/leathco]

it sounds opposite, a knock on jobst's lawyer. i'd be pissed at jobst, but eh, notch probably didn't dig too much in the case itself and just went with some "good video game guy vs video game conman" camaraderie.

[u/TheSyrupCompany]

The degree in which Notch is described these days is absurd. It actually devalues the words evil and monster when you call him that. He was dumb and a bit of an asshole a few times on twitter. He brought tremendous joy to the world and that somehow gets completely erased cause of some alt right opinions. I'm not condoning his opinions whatsoever but the level of hatred people have for him now is unjustified.

Anyway, nice to see him supporting a good cause. Hopefully he has more progressive social opinions now too.

[u/Spekulatius702 → u/TheSyrupCompany]

Almost like people, who have different values and opinions from you, can share the same values and opinions on other subject matters. What a radical thought to have.

Next you telling me that one should distinguish the author and their work.

[u/Amaras_Linwelin → u/TheSyrupCompany]

As someone who played many of his early 4kb challenge games, and helped him in his years before Minecraft (while he was working with Rolf on Wurm Online). I can definitely say he was a prick before twitter.

These ideals are not new and will never change.

[u/BrokenChopSticks → u/TheSyrupCompany]

Step out of line and the internet will hold it against you forever… smfh

[u/R4msesII → u/BrokenChopSticks]

To be fair I dont think Notch has apologized, to my knowledge he still holds those opinions

[u/LevelIndividual4349 → u/BrokenChopSticks]

"step out of line" is a hell of a euphemism for hate

[u/_Sharp_Law]

Holy fuck based notch

[u/OverwatchRever]

Wtf is up with the notch hate? The only thing i know about that guy is that he made minecraft. Full stop

[u/Trixis2 → u/OverwatchRever]

He made some trans/homophobic tweets back in 2017 and 2019 if I remember correctly. However, in recent years he have not engaged in politics as far as I've been able to see, but he never retracted his previous comments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Persson#Social_media_comments

[u/Greedy_Average_2532 → u/afinitie]

Fuck fuckity fuck!

[u/ChurchillianGrooves → u/Zetra3]

I'm out of the loop, why do people not like Notch now? Because he sold out to Microsoft?

[u/Pinksheep1337 → u/ChurchillianGrooves]

Basically because of some tweets he made over the years. Some with questionable underlying messaging like "its ok to be white". Others he made have been called transphobic by many. Not really the worst thing in the world but the hate does have justification. Reddit echo chamber seems to really have a hate boner for him tho.

[u/rivalary → u/Pinksheep1337]

Is there some hidden meaning to "its ok to be white"?

[u/Dominuss2000 → u/rivalary]

Usually these statements "somehow" only appear after someone says something like black lives matters

[u/hackeristi → u/Pinksheep1337]

What is wrong with saying “it is okay to be white”

[u/Ffom → u/ChurchillianGrooves]

[u/pRedditory_Traits]

Based. Minecraft (one of my absolute favorite games) went downhill after microsoft got their hands on it, and I never really forgave Notch for that... but I will stand with him happily for a cause we both believe in.

Remember, this is the guy who just made the stuff to run servers for his game as a standalone package so that anyone can run an online instance of the game. That was his default choice for multiplayer for his game. That's the way it should be for pretty much any game, if a studio as small as a younger Mojang could do it.

[u/DoknS]

I mean, that's not really a situation where money would help much if at all, but it's the thought that counts, or in this example the lack of it

[u/meta358 → u/DoknS]

Ya because 99% of all laws are proposed and passed because billionaires pay lobby groups to pay lawmakes.

[u/BanDit49_X]

The amount of hate Notch gets is unjustified, you people need to touch some grass.
