and like, one of the options would be for live service games to say “we are planning to operate for {number} of years” and people would know to spend their money accordingly
it would be transparent and informative and people would be empowered to make their own decisions
PoE is pretty cool. Eve must be live service. Neither can be bought and hence would likely be unaffected. With regard to PoE you could make an argument for the contrary, to be fair.
I can. The value of path of exile is in part it’s economy. It is not meant as a single player game for the average player. You drop loot for everyone and need your loot which dropped for everyone else.
He thinks the initiative’s goal isn’t clear and passing a law based on an unclear direction would effectively kill all live service games.
The problem is, reason behind making a law about it is clarifying how to approach this problem in the first place.
Ahh it sort of makes sense if you don’t think about it too long, gotcha.
Thanks very much!
I don’t think “killing all live servoce games” would even be bad at this point. When I ran dedicated servers back in the day that was much better.

I wish they dropped the server code for us all to see what metrics etc they’ve been digging for all these years…
Dunno if you’ve noticed - in today’s world politicians and businessmen want the server side to be precious magic.
Having anything dedicated is opposed to that.
Which is certainly why it’d be a good thing to do
Yes, that’s about hopes

Battlefield and CoD on the other hand…
Eh, I played Diablo and Diablo 2. You can’t tell me they wouldn’t be better if I ran a dedicated server. With mods. Heh
