It may be true that it may not actually happen. However:

  • I have elaborated on monetization in another long comment.
  • it cannot be wrong to have monetary interest in your product.
  • A law (which is the goal afaik) needs to account for unlikely scenarios, thats why its usually so hard to make new ones

I am not against leaving games playable, but the fact that people like the game means that the devs did a good job and their fate needs to be accounted for. Devs who make good games are not an enemy

Stop killing games said that games need to be kept in a functioning state afaik. That means exactly that. I am very for modding games but modding a game does not entitle me to the original creators intellectual property, but merely the part j have added.

Also what documentation? :)

This still doesn't cover for the abuse of studios which is the main concern here, after all making games harder to kill off shouldn't come with making the production or maintenance more risky or significantly mor expensive. A malicious party trying to kill a game because they dont like it or part of the community is still a valid motive.

Regarding your Question, minecraft servers are a good example of this: there are many servers out there which monetise in game resources or grind shorteners for real world money. I dont think that it is a stretch to say that a non sandbox game could be adjusted to work in such fashion. Also the point is not that there are other options, but that someone may easily make money with stuff the dont own and have never contributed to in its making.

At the end of the day all of us still want new games to be made. Therefore we need to accept that the people making them need to be able to have a steady income doing their job. Monetising ones own creation is, and should be, well within your rights. Even if some of us dont like it providing a platform in form of a game, as a service / with ever fresh content can be a valid value proposition and there are many studios out there doing this successfully while being well respected, think of Deep rock galactic or path of exile.

If you want to make this a law, how would anyone handle this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3jMKeg9S-s&t=73

This argument holds true for developers of all sizes and is somehow totally ignored by most here.

Im currently playing through the game again and since I enjoy some pvp now and then I have taunters tongue active while going through some of the areas. Now I noticed that aside from the usual pranksters, some reds are summoned and immediately use the finger severer, usually before even seeing me, to leave. I'm not doing any intentional griefing. Im just going through the area normally and waiting around in some cool areas to fight in. Does anyone know the reason for this? Could they for some reason think that I'm doing some ill-legit business? Would like to hear your opinions on this...

I'd argue that the reason this is so bad in other languages is because of horrible default implementations. Look at tostring in java, getting a somewhat printable object would be easy if the default implementation would use reflection or sth to print the object, but instead it prints hash gibberish no one cares about.

Theyre the distributor, the dont fix apps and its not their job to do so. Getting the same app from a different source wont change anything

Space-time itself is curved, therefore everything is moving in a straight line, it only appears to be curved to the outside observer

I mean its already in the nix repos as well as homebrew which means its essentially taken care of

Imo you immensely overestimate the capabilities of these models. What they show to the public are always hand picked situations even if they say they dont

That shows how dangerous dead or damaged tries in a city can be, that tree could have fallen apart anytime
