Should devs be allowed to control how/where people can and can't play their games, after they buy them?

wording is fucking retarded, but redistribution of games as a service is similar to rentals and the laws on that are well established

Twitter opinions are unironically a currency now.

Do you season boots before you start licking them, or do you prefer them raw?

Fuck no, especially not if you've spent money on it and haven't broken any agreement
Once you have it it's yours, the only thing the devs control is multiplayer/server activity and that's only if the game isn't exclusively single-player

Hold the fuck up. If you make something that someone else can seamlessly copy and sell and they do so without your permission, isn't that counterfeiting effectively? The only difference here between a physical bootleg and this is that they have the technological means to disable it remotely.

If full refunds are issued, there shouldn't be a problem.

Full refunds were issued, correct? You wouldn't leave out crucial information would you?

>Should devs be allowed to control how/where people can and can't play their games, after they buy them?
They can already do this on Steam

How's that boot taste?

Were full refunds issued retard-kun? Are you having difficulty reading my words?

Did. People. Get. Their. Money. Back. For. Their. Bootleg. Copy. Sold. By. Another. Faceless. Corporate. Entity. Illcitly?

>gobble slurp lick gag
Please take the boot out of your mouth if you're going to have a conversation. Its rude to talk with your mouth full.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Faggot.

Did nVidia actually offer the game, or was it just the "renting a remote PC to play the game you already paid for" thing?

I'm going to take that as "I don't know, or I'm brain damaged or both". If I'm tasting the dev's shoe then you're deepthroating a size 16 Nvidia steel toe.

Just pirate the fucking thing if you're so cool. I've heard being subversive is cool among teenagers nowadays, so make sure to tell all your college friends and maybe the upperclassmen will pay attention to you.

>If you make something that someone else can seamlessly copy and sell and they do so without your permission, isn't that counterfeiting effectively?
That'd be copyright infringement, not counterfeiting. More importantly, what Nvidia is doing isn't either. They aren't selling a copy of the game data to people without permission (that'd be a question of first sale doctrine), they're letting you run a game, which you already legally paid for, on their server and then streaming the audio & video to your local client. Same thing as using Steam Link, except you're using Nvidia's hardware instead of your own.
Most importantly, I'm not just making stuff up here: users hosting and playing back content on another company's server was already decided to not be copyright infringement 15 years ago in Cartoon Network v. CSC Holdings. Nvidia is simply not pushing back because they're trying to play nice and not anger game companies by taking this to court.

Geforce Now allows you to stream games in your steam library
Devs told Nvidia to take their game down because they dont want their games being streamed
Draw your conclusions

In this case, it's a case of distribution so: Absolutely. If the devs of TLD didn't want it on Nvidia's storefront/streaming, they have the right to request it removed.

>lick slurp gurgle chew
Spit the boot out if you want people to understand what you're saying

>If you make something that someone else can seamlessly copy and sell and they do so without your permission, isn't that counterfeiting effectively?
You just described phone games and gacha.

No, once I purchase a thing it’s mine to do with as I please. The company that makes it shouldn’t care what happens after that, it’s not their business what I do with their product.

this is like the least petty and retarded thing the long dark devs have done so I can't bring myself to give a shit

>call people bootlickers while defending corporations
I don't understand this place.

Dumbass devs in that case. They don't get a cut from the makers of the hardware parts I used to build this PC, why would someone providing a remote PC service have to do the same?

why do you think that Any Forums is your personal army?

I don't understand.
Isn't geforce now just a PC that you rent through the internet? So you're just playing the pc version, no? Does this guy want to ban people from playing his game on net cafes as well?

based as fuck

>its okay to defend developers though, it's not boot licking at all!

>if you oppose thing you support other thing
Go suck more cock bootlicker.

He unironically must think that Nvidia is like Windows or Mac computers.
That or he's an AMD fuckboi, in which case it makes sense why they would shaft GeForce users.

I strongly doubt Nvidia without anyone's permission just fucking added a game to it's service.

Do you have an argument about why the dev is wrong or do you just want to name call, faggot?

devs should have as much control over the game as possible, fuck publishers

Retarded dev was claiming that he should get a cut lmao
Just extreme Jewry masquerading as pro industry aka all copyright law

the world would be a better place if you killed yourself

why do you bring up tranny enablers as an example?

>kill all twitter users
ftfy

why should nvidia get to do whatever the fuck they want

Why would people complain to Nvidia? They're not the ones who have the power to make the decision, he is.

Because they didn't keep me waiting 3 years for a shitty story game where everyone looks like a Tumblr OC

patreons, onlyfans, twitch and other donation platforms needs to be outlawed for the sake of humanity

>we're the ones who had it removed, not them

10 years ago I had the dream of becoming a game dev because I love games. Today I hate game devs because 80% of then are insufferable faggots. The other 20% are quickly moving to other areas because there's a witch hunt against everyone who's not openly a left militant, even if you're neutral like me. Their mind work like "if you don't think exactly like this, you're our enemy".
Fuck modern game development. Fuck women leading tech teams. Fuck politics in work place.
