Use the fucking catalog retard, we have a #GamerGate thread already. If you fucking lurked more you would know all /pol/itical shit goes there

Note: I'm just funposting, this is actually fantastic news and deserves a sticky, perhaps.

>>15442156

>Loot boxes are Gamergate

Are you pretending to be retarded or are you genuinely being retarded?

>>15442128

>said publishers could risk prison sentences (up to five years) and fines (up to €800,000) if games with loot boxes continued to be distributed within Belgium.

The fines might hurt, but who do they choose to jail, some intern EA blames or the CEO? Though 99% its settled out of court and EA just changes the system to be NOT-loot lootboxes.

STICKY THIS SHIT MARK

I know not much will come of this, but I hope it costs EA much in money in court battles

>>15442171

It would be top teir if they demanded the CEO be extradited to Belgian

Q predicted this

And absolutely nothing will fucking come of it, because we're not about to extradite the CEOs of multi-billion dollar corporations to fucking Belgium of all places. What the fuck are they really going to do if EA just pulls up stakes around their most obvious liabilities and flips them the bird? At worst, they won't be able to find any retailers to sell their games, though I'm sure Microsoft and Sony will find a way to distribute them digitally. If these crony fucks stand together, what is Belgium going to do - ban video games? That will get people pissed off and yelling at their representatives.

>>15442199

Fuck off Qlarper.

>>15442200

I would sign a petition for the US gov to extradite them

>>15442200

This isn't about EA, it's the effect this will have on the industry. There's no way this lootbox shit would stop on its own.

>>15442207

I would too, but since I have no money - my signature counts for fuck-all unless you can make the issue large enough to influence the upcoming election. Good luck with that.

I saw a banner ad for kikewater the other day

Some man got jailed for pot brownies because while they were for his own use, his lady friend(?) got them mixed up with a different batch and handed them out to like 4 parents and a bunch of kids. So he got charged with corruption of minors and other shit

>>15443256

He and the woman should've both been euthanized for being retarded.

>>15443274

It fell around the same amount, $30, but it's a completely different situation since back then that represented more than 50% of the stock price when now it's merely 20% less value. The stock's still pretty high and it's been steadily increasing ever since 2014. This tells me nothing yet.

>>15443357

Companies don't go to jail, cuckime poster.

But Belgium does have the authority to do whatever they want under their own jurisdiction.

>>15442128

>>15442160

I bet some executive is at EA wondering, can we just buy out Belgium? Or do we own any small European countries, already?

>>15443357

EA won't face jail time. All this does is force EA executives to pay stupid fines and set the precedent that it's not okay to make people pay real money for skinner boxes in that tiny corner of the world. EA's hubris is likely what will embolden other countries to step up and start cracking down on this shit; to be entirely fair, Blizzard/Activision is probably screeching at EA execs over the phone going OH SHIT NIGGA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

>>15442156

I read that as furposting

>>15443357

Of course no one's going to fucking jail. If they lose they'll just pay some bullshit fine out of their scrouge mcduck vault and be forced to give up their precious lootboxes in that specific country. It'll be a small victory, but a satisfying one with a small chance of snowballing to other countries.

>>15443378

No. Deal with it.

>>15443280

>>15443365

>But Belgium does have the authority to do whatever they want under their own jurisdiction.

So does Zimbabwe. What's your point? EA doesn't exist under their jurisdiction, they're a multinational corporation. At best, Belgium could go after companies which have regional headquarters in Belgium or local companies which enable EA's services to operate (such as ISP which don't block EA's origin service until EA complies). Even then, are they going to start asking ISPs to crack down on Sony and Microsoft for distributing EA software? That's be a right shitshow.

All these companies can collectively just give Belgium the finger, and there's not a damned thing Belgium can do about it. Who's going to hold them to account? America? The EU?

>>15443479

>What's your point?

They can ban the game if EA whines too much.

>Even then, are they going to start asking ISPs to crack down on Sony and Microsoft for distributing EA software?

Yup. Would be interesting to see. Not the first time a game is banned on some country.

>>15443490

>They can ban the game

And what exactly is forcing EA to comply with the ban?

>They'd crack down on ISPs and regional distributors

And then there'd be a huge fucking backlash against the representatives for nuking people's access to PSN/Xbox Live. EA CAN hold Sony and MS up as shields if Sony and Microsoft want to protect their own microtransaction/lootbox interests.

The worst that's going to happen is that EA will take a smear to their reputation. Whoopty fucking doo. Their reputation can't get any lower with anybody who actually gives the slightest fuck - and most people don't, or else they wouldn't buy their shit games and allow themselves to be fleeced with gambling schemes.

I mean… you're not just talking about fucking with video games here, EA owns the rights to a lot of major sports licenses. You're fucking with the masses of normalfag sports hooligans who don't give a shit about video games. They just want their spoorts shit, and from their perspective - it's the government that's preventing them from getting it. Why do you think 2K wrote that open letter asking their victims to beg for the reinstatement of lootboxes despite the obvious PR backlash?

Because it'll fucking work.

>>15443507

I'm not sure how it works, exactly, but plenty of relatively recent titles, even big ones, have been banned before on certain countries for a variety of reasons, and they didn't need to "nuke" access to PSN/Xbox online services.

>>15443530

Those were banned over menial shit like nudity and violence. That's not the hill any of these AAA companies want to die on. Microtransactions/Lootboxes, however, are a fucking mountain of money they would not only die, but kill for.

If anything can get these slimy fucks to stand together in solidarity, it's microtransactions. And considering how many of them are based in the United States and Europe - that's a lot of tax revenue and lobbying money they can throw around which I'm sure will have some measure of an impact on the US and EU's (in)action on the matter.

>>15443615

It's not microtransactions in general but lootboxes specifically. The case doesn't touch on things that don't have a random outcome after the purchase. I think Sony and Microsoft can live without selling Belgium lootboxes and wouldn't risk continuing to conduct their business there just for EA to do that specific thing.

>>15442128

Let's hope it sets a precedent and an example to others.

>>15443294

>>15443274

The problem is EA Sports.

Normalfags paying for FIFA, Madden, and all of that other shit keeps the company afloat.

>>15443728

dont only niggers play those?

>>15442365

Distributors get jailed to prevent further incidents, in a massive case like this the only way to rectify the problem is to "kill the drug dealers", not attack the druggies. That shit comes after if they get caught doing something against the law.

>>15443737

no, retard. everyone plays sportsball games

>>15443737

IIRC, Central and South America are the biggest consumers of FIFA, followed by Europe. I don't know of any nogs in developed nations who give a shit about futbol, outside of the ones raised in the UK and South Africa.

>EA MIGHT GO TO JAIL OVER LOOT BOXES

not if retarded w*loons lead the investigation

if the flems do it however theres a high chance they will really go to jail

>>15443797

If EA top execs are extradited to Belgium for this, people are going to celebrate hard.

Anon, that’s just a bad insult I wouldn’t tell to anyone. At least Belgium is white

>>15442169

Learn how spoilers work.

>>15442128

So people will stop selling game sin Belgium. You think the Chinese enjoy being behind the Great Firewall? As always EU laws are meaningless and a waste of time. Lootboxes have never turned anyone into a gambler, lootboxes have never prevented a good game from being made.

>>15444489

When you develop a fully function game that's balanced, but then you add loot boxes and distribute the items randomly, that is ruining the game.

>Wilson went on to claim that its 'loot boxes' were not equivalent to gambling as there is no way to cash out or sell loot items for real/virtual currency.

It's gambling, except you get shafted even harder.

>>15443755

>would just ban the sale of EA games in the country

Why would they want that? don't they get a part of the money(Added Value Tax), for each EA game sold?

>>15445020

probably not, but its not like ea are part of the illuminati, or if they are theyre laughably low. so i wouldnt be that surprised if the full extent of the law were used against them.

>>15445035

They could be losing money and they'd still put out trash. The problem is multifaceted and won't be cured outside of a large drop in global population.

>>15445045

Yeah, the part of the population responsible for usury and war.

>>15443043

Belgium is relevant insofar as it is the capital of the EU, meaning the European Union is actually doing something good for once.

>>15444266

Yes, you can. No corporation is too big to fail. No amount of executives are safe just because of their number.

>>15443479

EA could get locked out of the 500 million population European Union market.

>>15448377

Do you seriously think an ancap area wouldn't be full of shit like child sex trafficking and weapons like dirty bombs? The one example of anarcho capitalism that has existed for a noteworthy period of time is Somalia around the turn of the millenium, and it was an absolute shithole. Noone cares about the NAP when there's noone to enforce it.

>>15448601

>>15448728

A system that requires everyone to be selfless/intelligent is inherently unstable, if the whitest country in the world suddenly went ancap then here's what would happen.

>NGOs and foreign governments start claiming territory en masse to establish their own countries

>NGOs based on criminal organizations utilize the lack of sovereign government to house their base of operations

>in the meantime any unclaimed territory becomes rife with pillaging because there is no police to discourage it, it doesn't matter if 99% of the population are selfless and good because the 1% will use the opportunity to fuck them over

>even if everyone is armed and defends their property, criminal organizations will outgun and outman them to gain more territory

>eventually most of the corporate/humanitarian NGOs and governments take action against the criminal organizations, siezing their territory and taking over remaining unclaimed areas to protect them and utilize their resources

>congratulations, you now have a bunch of states and there are no ancap places left.

And that's assuming the criminal organizations don't turn into dictatorships that are successful at defending themselves from the more humane states, which leaves the area much worse off than it started as.

>>15448782

No need to speculate, since the entire world is turning lolbert right before our eyes:

>states getting weaker

>regulatory capture of what lawmaking remains

>privatization increasing

>functions of government from public services to warfighting increasingly assumed by corporations

>market cap of transnational corporations surpassing the $1T line

>borders opening to migration and trade

>>15448861

I blame this on the proliferation of democracy, it gives NGOs the ability to influence the government without direct corruption.

>>15448782

Of course, if you just remove the state without people actually changing their views about it, it'll just be replaced by something else. Changing people's views and ideas is an uphill fight across generations, and I don't expect it to happen in my lifetime, but whatever progress is made towards reducing the state's power and influence over people's lives is good change.

Ancapism isn't about giving a magical solution to a problem that's communism, and there's no fixed model on "what it would be like" since that would vary heavily on place and culture of the people. It's just about rejecting unethical things such as the idea that some people can control other people's lives without their explicit consent because it's convenient (and they can't even opt out).

>>15448892

Transnat corporations are inherently undemocratic due to their autocratic "board of directors" being above any and all accountability, and are for-profit. Contrariwise, "NGO" typically has connotations of nonprofit (Red Cross, Amnesty International, etc.), or even non-state multilateralism (UN, IMF, etc.), both of which are on the downswing compared to direct organs of business influence.

>>15444215

>>15449130

>>has a USA hat

>>Hates government

>That doesn't make any fucking sense.

It does, because Americans haven't given up the delusion of rebellion - so the concept of "USA" being an institution of the people is completely separate from the reality that USA is a manifestation of the Government. The retards actually think they'll be able to overthrow their government with small arms and guerilla tactics if it ever comes to revolution.

Which absolutely won't be the case, since a revolution will (and by necessity) split the military and you'll end up with a conventional war between two traditional armies over territory - the old and new nation. The question of gun ownership in preparation for this is moot since small arms will do fuck-all against armored targets and independently lead guerilla tactics will just confuse and weaken military strategy without having the discipline or training to do much good. Not to mention that global arms dealers will provide all of the weapons, decent weapons suited for warfare, regardless of the legality (which doesn't matter in a state of rebellion). Gun control in America is a game of political football, and little else - but it is vital to the illusion of having power in the hands of citizens and it generally isn't a problem for most gun owners - with the greatest displays of violence being domestic terrorists (who'd just use trucks and bombs and shit in lieu of guns if they weren't available) and nigger on nigger homicide.

>>15449527

>civil war splits the military

>meaning no sides has access to anti-tank weapons

Hey dipshit, ask the afghans and iraqis how they destroy coalition tanks out on patrol

Oh wait they don't have to, just need to make bombs good enough to damage threads and engines.

>>15449589

You can unironically take out a 9 million $ tank with a molotov cocktail.

>"B-but muh CBRN protection!"

Modern tank doctrine advises the commander to stay unbuttoned and out there as long as he can, most of them won't even go to open protected or fully close the hatch until they're getting hit with mortars or an extreme amount of direct fire. This is because he's the eyes of the tank. You hit the roof of the turret with a molotov. You kill the commander, there go years of training and hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in that man. Without that guy, the tank is practically blind altogether. The crew inside the tank fucking panics because their buddy is currently melting right next to them, they turret crew probably try to help the poor fag, or better yet the loader also had his hatch open like a retard and he burns too. But of course, you'd never have a tank moving on it's own somewhere, it'd always be backed up by either more tanks or infantry.

>b-but muh TUSK

There ain't no upgrade kit to protect the fag sticking out of the tank.

>b-but what are you going to do if you can't get the jump on the tank or get above it?

Employ WW2 tactics and go around that bitch. The tank can only go where there's road or flat land, it easily gets bogged down in cities, wooded areas, swampland and such. Don't forget, the Abrams is a fat bitch, borderline WW2-superheavy tank tier, you could fuck up bridges and overpasses to slow them down somewhat.

you can't jail me for knowing about tanks and how they work, FBI

>>15449880

See, the thing you're forgetting in your 2smart4u plagiarism of that old screencap is the fact that a very, very large chunk of the US armed forces would take the side of the people instead of the government.

Don't start this shit nigger.

>>15443078

>buying drugs is ok because you are the victim

>>15449849

From what I understand modern tanks are made so that any liquid fire like from a molotov won't be able to creep into the engine and destroy it, like they did in old tanks. I'm not sure though.

>>15452104

There's a reason why the A10 is loaded down with a GAU/8 firing depleted uranium shells instead of napalm.

A lucky hit with a molotov can compromise the inside of a tank. They're far from effective anti-tank weapons. If you want to be the asshole running down an armor division armed with nothing more than a bottle of Schlitz filled with gasoline and a match - be my guest.

>>15451911

I didn't know they even spoke other languages. What do the good Belgians speak?

>>15452104

that's pretty interesting

I doubt anyone will go to jail from all this, a fine is not out of the question, but I know that the Belgian government wants to bring this issue up to EU government as a whole.

While this may not seem like a whole lot, you have to remember that with the last FIFA game EA made $800 million, primarily from lootboxes and other microtransactions. If EA, and other companies by extension, get barred from the EU in that matter, that is a very large market and wealthy market that a practice is entirely barred from.

If I know one thing about the EU, it's nanny state authoritarianism has a very realistic possibility of making that happen.

What would be the reaction for a ww2 game where Hitler is an attractive woman?

>>15455234

Belgian gambling law includes non-monetary payouts, payouts of sentimental value and accounts for payout value differentiation aka chance of higher payout vs lower payout.

According to Belgian law lootboxes are quite literally gambling.

>>15455247

So how are kinder surprise eggs and trading card booster packs not gambling and completly fine for kids?

>>15455832

The short answer is, because it doesn't become a problem for society. You don't have kids bankrupting their parents spending thousands, or hundreds of thousands, on Kinder Eggs. If they did, you'd probably see more people raising an eyebrow as to whether or not they constitute gambling.

Further, at least with Kinder Eggs and Trading Cards, you actually get a product with value in exchange for your purchase. That's not how it works with lootboxes. Everything you're getting in those are already in the game - and the the mechanisms by which they are delivered are already in the game as well. There is no product produced, nor is there any services being rendered. These companies are simply locking you out of content you already paid for and sticking it behind an RNG game of chance. That in itself should be investigated as baked in consumer fraud. That's like buying a vending machine, buying all the soda to stock it, and then still having to pay Pepsi each time you buy a drink. Except the buttons are intentionally broken so it kicks out a random beverage, and you might have to buy multiple drinks until you get the flavor you're thirsty for. And that's not even getting into all the psychological tricks these fucks pull to prey on weak minded individuals, which might as well be the equivalent of putting cocaine in the drinks so a certain segment of the population will constantly be driven to buy more and more to get their fix.

>>15455869

> or hundreds of thousands

tens of thousands

Though get back to me in 30 years of lootbox bullshit and we'll tally the lifetime tab on lootboxes for some of these whales again. The potential is certainly there, but they just haven't been around long enough to add up quite that much yet unless you're a spoiled Saudi prince.

It's not that complicated. If lootboxes are made illegal they will just comply like the little bitches they are. You just use the jew to fuck the jew. That's how you win, by becoming a jew.

Killing the dealers ain't worth shit if you don't help the addicts, they will just find new dealers. FIFA, and all sports games, need to stop being legal monopolies.

On the one hand, this is great news, as it will kill sooo many points of entrance for normalfags into our hobbies.

On the other hand, I shudder to think of what they'll come up with next to make modern gaming even worse.

>>15496762

Game rentals?

You don't pay for any games but you have tiny payments per game per month (something non-objectionable at first like 20 cents a week or something.)

>>15496760

>EA other games are so shit nobody buys them

I understand the words, but that sentence doesn't make any sense. There's no relationship between them, it's just gibberish.

>>15496834

> I can see them actually see them pulling the pin on the grenade and threatening to kill us all rather than give up their lootboxes.

Don't play with my feelings like that anon. If the Jews actually decide to crash the video game industry themselves, out of sheer spite, I would cry in joy and declare them to be honorary aryans.

>>15496834

t-they wouldn't be that fucking insane would they, to risk everything on whatever good will still remains for the western games industry?

>TellTale dead

>lootboxes possibly getting nuked

Well shit, looks like it's back to just needing to make non-episodic full games. One can hope it's the start of shit going back to how it was or the shitty companies that rely on this at least fucking burn.

more than likely, lootboxes will just be renamed into "funboxes" and every online game* will require individual subscriptions to play

*Singleplayer games too

>>15449126

Fucking government, why can't there be prostitution preschools and heroin in every corner store, what the fuck, people aren't kids.

Fucking bootlickers I swear.

>>15498870

Capcom already went "back" to regular microtransactions instead of random ones in single player games. And people defend it.

>>15449527

That's bullshit thousands of Americans must defend themselves going through, working or living in high crime areas. Getting rid of weapons will increase crime and decrease services in crappy areas. Gun rights are life and death for law abiding citizens and why places like California are being abandoned.

If it was an exam, OK for not giving a fuck about accuracy.

But it was a freaking project. How long would it have taken you to quickly search all of your shit to verify it's not too wrong ?

>>15496784

wow still runs fine after 10 years at double digit bucks per month and 40 buckaroos for the current game.

So they will charge way more for a week than 20cents of the latest AAA game.

>>15497035

That's actually not true. See, EA knows that no company would willingly sell itself to them. Selling your company to EA is like selling your employees into slavery. So what EA does is they go through a middle man. They get another company to buy the company EA wants and then that middle man company sells it to EA. I can't remember where I read about that, but I'm pretty sure that's how they got Bioware.

>>15508357

Killing Origin is the only good thing EA ever did.

>>15455910

>not that the US is white either, nor California.

Yes they are you dumb kike shill. mostly

>investigation opens

>The retards actually think they'll be able to overthrow a government (ran by the retards who will be rebelling against it) that couldn't even defeat an army of vietnamese basket weavers

FTFY burger

But they made origin.

>>15508735

Well he's not wrong about California.

>>15496882

Stop buying completely and start killing corporate suits.

>>15508805

No. Their corporate suits will be either jailed or killed. Their whale customers also jailed.

They don't shape the world. We do.

SF Isn't even in the top 5 populous California cities. It'd be more accurate to judge the state by LA. It's also dirty and full of homeless, but not as flamboyantly faggy.

California is to the US what Turkey is to Europe

And the Irish apparently see no problem with loot-boxes.
