   I don't think people that make and sell games should be legally compelled to release their games and game servers after they become economically unviable. instead they should be compelled to truthfully and clearly indicate that the product you're buying will stop working someday.
   
   and some minority faction of game makers should make games to serve the "I want to play this game forever using a self hosted private server" market.
   
   also maybe in general there should be a better understanding that games aren't art they are a business, if they were really in the art business they would care about art preservation and do all those things like keep the game playable after they shut down their servers, but they don't.

     @sun Ideally I would want dedicated servers that come with the game install back. Forcing the companies to open-source the servers is stupid.

     another aspect of this is, when is a game really economically unviable?
     
     "abandonware" was justified on the premise that a game company wasn't making money on the game anymore so it's okay to pirate it. At the same time people kept saying, if I could actually just buy this old NES game, I would." Now we know for a fact, if decades after a game stopped selling you make it super easy to download and pay only 4 dollars for it, people will still enthusiastically buy and play NES games. Did the game actually ever become "economically unviable?" No, people were just waiting for the game company to sell it at the right price.

     @phnt @sun they fucking arent though. Ross has many times reiterated they dont need to open source the server software, just publish it so other people can host their own. and publishers dont have to do this until they decide to stop hosting it themselves.

     @sun games, especially singleplayer games, make 99.9999999% of their sales in the first weekend. its technically "economically unviable" at that point. remember nintendo made Mario 3D All-Stars available for like 6 months before pulling it ON PURPOSE and PREMEDITATED. I'm sure if they could get away with it, EA would put a big budget game up for sale for 72 hours only. this is already normal in the fashion industry

     @why its a bigger deal when your game relies on your own network infrastructure for some or all of its functionality, and an online marketplace that has to be run. you might not want to drop the price to 4 dollars if the player costs you x dollars a month in server costs.

     when is a product really economically unviable?
     When it's a digital product it's economically enviable when you aren't in high trust society.
     When people are so demoralized by the commercial practices of not owning and being abused that they consider it moral to damage the company that produces the content. Thus creating a self repeating loop of passive violence.

     @weeble @coolboymew some of the people working on some games are trying to make art but the industry doesnt actually consider it art, they just call it art because it elevates the status of the industry so they don't feel ashamed for making diversions for children. if it were considered art by the people that sell it they would care about preserving the games after they are no longer selling them but they don't.

     @coolboymew@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world I think games should be considered art and there should be ways to preserve them. You have that flashpoint thing to preserve flash games.
     
     I think forcing a company to host servers could bring issues but definitely there should be a system in place were at the end of a game's life it can be emulated and have private servers.
     
     Like some massive game archive.

     @sun@shitposter.world @coolboymew@shitposter.world You're saying it's not art because the artist has to sell the rights or compromise on their work to make money.
     
     This isn't something new nor exclusive to gaming. It doesn't stop being art just a shitty company holds the distribution rights hostage.
     
     And I think arguing it isn't does a disservice to the goal of games being preserved and playable.

     @sun@shitposter.world @coolboymew@shitposter.world They only preserve the big ones that make money and because it's easier to archive film that will eventually pay for itself in physical release sales.
     
     They don't do it because film is more respected as art.
     
     They same shit happens with movies and shows. I can name a bunch of shows and movies that are locked up where the only way to view them is piracy or paying for 4 diff streaming services (If you're lucky). All because they lost money or copyright clusterfucks.
     
     Even the situation right now with TV and streaming is dire as you have all these worker strikes and reboots everywhere.
     
     The starving artist trope is real and it's impossible to have a stable business without sucking cock and selling your soul.

     The slop to gem ratio is based on how much the artist had to curb their vision for the sake of money.

     @weeble @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage asI mentioned in another post there are businesses that function as an agent where they find a creative person and fund them to create an artistic work and then sell that work, the better the art the more money they make. you still have to make compromises but it is absolutely a creative artistic endeavor.
     
     other places just have a formula based on whats in their movies that make more money and what are the corners that can be cut before people tell their friends not to see it and they make their product based on that.

     Regardless of if they're a starving artist funding their project or just milking paypigs it's still intentionally making something for money and not an honest expression of an artist.
     
     So yes it's more soulless then something you created on your own whim.

     @sun I think more people should start packet analyzing games while the game is still live instead of waiting until the last minute. I feel like people don't start packet analyzing until it is almost too late. Case in point, the Nintendo Wi-Fi games weren't analyzed until mere months before the servers shut down.

     @sun @weeble @coolboymew I could see this for like Candy Crush and other bunch of mobile games slop which are more tool/toys than art (kind of like fidget spinners). But then it got me thinking about gacha games which are very much products yet have taken pixiv/boorus by storm and they effectively work by having gambling-based prices on more traditional art. (Also Blue Archive somehow even got an anime adaptation)
     For those I feel like it would be kind of meh to loose the source and yet… I feel like it's bound to happen.

     @coolboymew @weeble @sun Yeah, that said I guess it could work with like… ability to export your waifus either a bit before the game closes down or afterwards.

     @lanodan @weeble @sun With gacha we reach a whole new level of live service weirdness because it literally does not work without the very artificial gambling that stops you from getting everything

     @lanodan @weeble @sun Some games did manage to do that, but then the problem becomes that the game hackers has no ability to fuck around the banners (Puchiguru and SIFAS) and make new events so it's a forever stalemate
     
     At LEAST SIF1 and SIF2 has gameplay that works outside of the gacha shit. Well, so does Puchiguru I guess even if it's not great
