Gregory's Server@siguza Alright, but this is very broad. Will I have to port my MS-DOS games forever to new operating systems when this goes through to "leave them in a functioning state"?
Should be more specific, I'll pass.

@sos @siguza Thanksfully this isn't a legal text ready to be ratified, it's the outline of a petition that, if it gathers enough votes, enables the proposers to engage in a bilateral dialog with the EU commission. There's no sense in nitpicking wording at this stage, as the intent is quite clear, especially if you've been following the campaign all along. (see https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/how-it-works_en ) @q3k @siguza I truly understand the intent behind this but it has not been worder clear enough. If this wording is what is to be presented behind the EC, then I'm absolutely not signing this. It goes on to be very specific on the codes and laws but leaves out a lot of questions about the actual demands. What about free games? What about online-only games? What about dead platforms? For now this only says I will have to do extra work on my old forgotten games.   |
@sos "Specifically, the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers". This is online-only DRM. Nobody's talking about "porting to a new operating system", you just made that up.
