There are “challenges concerning scaling up companies, attracting financing” and “managing cyclical waves of labour lay-off”, the Commission announcement stated.
So they don‘t actually want to do anything right now because the same scummy companies that kill live service games are laying off workforce en masse as well? Ugh, I didn‘t expect much but that‘s rich.
They‘re basically saying: „Apologies, but we can‘t improve things right now. You see, the industry is too rotten already.“
As expected from the EU commission that is just as corrupt as AAA studios.
Sounds like an excellent reason to never buy a non indie game again.
Stop Killing Games should be asking for donations to get the people involved to have meetings with representatives in the EU commission. The big, shitty gaming companies that are firing devs en masse and just out to make money have their lobbyists. If the SKG movement doesn’t organise, that’s all we’ll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.
Did anyone actually expect the EU to regulate a multibillion dollar industry because it’s trending on social media?
Lol what a hot take.
No, we expect them to regulate a multi-billion dollar industry because that’s what governments do. Healthcare is a multi billion dollar industry. So is agriculture, and many others.
- healthcare: lives & health at stake
- agriculture: environment & health at stake
- video games: ?
one of these is not like the others
sorry, bruh: on a scale from critically important to idgaf, this ain’t ranking
Have you read what a citizens initiative is? Have you read about the other successful ones? or do you just spew bullshit online before reading more deeply?
I mean to encourage people to actually do something as sharing a post on social media isn’t activism.
No of course not. Only what you approve as activism is activism 👌 And using official channels is certainly not activism.
using official channels is certainly not activism.
Isn’t that called “lobbying”?
TIL voting is lobbying
Nope, and the suckers who did can suck big, fat ones.
