Stop Killing Games: Una petición busca proteger el derecho de jugar lo que ya pagaste      Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo     Más de 1,2 millones de personas ya firmaron la petición “Stop Killing Games”, impulsada por Ross Scott, para evitar que las empresas borren videojuegos que ya fueron comprados. El caso de Ubisoft con The Crewdesató el movimiento.     Comprar un videojuego y después perder el acceso sin derecho a devolución. Esa práctica, que ya no es una excepción, ha generado protestas masivas. La campaña Stop Killing Games, creada en 2024 por el creador Ross Scott, denuncia cómo los contratos de usuario están permitiendo a las grandes empresas borrar juegos comprados. Ubisoft es el caso más discutido, luego de eliminar The Crew y exigir que se destruyan las copias. La campaña ya reunió más de un millón doscientas mil firmas en la Unión Europea, buscando una legislación que proteja a los jugadores. Pero no todo son festejos: también surgieron amenazas y conflictos dentro de la comunidad. ¿Qué está pasando con la propiedad digital de los videojuegos y por qué esta protesta se volvió tan viral?  Cláusulas que nadie lee, pero duelen: La letra pequeña de los contratos digitales encendió una batalla global.  Cuando compras un videojuego, parece lógico pensar que es tuyo. Lo pagaste, lo descargaste, lo juegas. Pero hay una trampa escondida: los acuerdos de usuario o EULA (por sus siglas en inglés) que aceptamos al instalarlo. Muchas veces incluyen cláusulas que permiten al desarrollador borrar el juego en cualquier momento, sin compensación. Una de las más polémicas es la de Ubisoft, que dice literalmente: “Debes desinstalar el producto y destruir todas las copias en tu posesión si se cancela por cualquier motivo”. Esta frase, que parece exagerada, es una realidad legal. Y como los juegos son ahora en su mayoría digitales, eso equivale a hacerlos desaparecer de tu consola o tu computadora.  Ross Scott, conocido por su canal en YouTube, decidió tomar acción cuando Ubisoft cerró los servidores de The Crew en 2024, haciendo que el juego dejara de funcionar, incluso para quienes lo habían comprado. Scott argumenta que esto es una forma de obsolescencia programada digital: vender productos con fecha de muerte no anunciada. Desde entonces, ha liderado la campaña Stop Killing Games, una iniciativa ciudadana europea que ya reunió firmas, presentó denuncias y ganó presencia en medios.  La campaña apunta a que la ley europea cambie, obligando a los estudios a mantener juegos accesibles, aún sin soporte. Algunos jugadores propusieron mantenerlos a través de servidores privados, como ocurre con juegos antiguos. Pero las grandes empresas se resisten, alegando problemas de seguridad, derechos de autor y costo. Aun así, el descontento sigue creciendo.  Uno de los argumentos más fuertes de la campaña es que los juegos no deberían tener fecha de vencimiento si se vendieron como productos completos. Hoy, el 87 % de los videojuegos lanzados antes de 2010 no son accesibles fácilmente, según un estudio de la Video Game History Foundation. Esto significa que miles de títulos han desaparecido por completo. Y eso no solo afecta a los jugadores, también a los archivistas, investigadores y quienes desean estudiar la historia del videojuego como forma cultural.  El caso de The Crew fue el detonante, pero no el único. En los últimos dos años, Electronic Arts ha cerrado los servidores de 61 juegos. Muchos más han sido retirados de tiendas digitales como Steam, PlayStation Network o Xbox Live, dejándolos inaccesibles para siempre. Y aunque algunas tiendas como GOG tratan de conservar títulos antiguos sin DRM, son la excepción. Además, las quejas han llegado a agencias de protección al consumidor en Alemania, Francia y Australia. La campaña plantea una pregunta difícil: ¿hasta qué punto lo digital es realmente nuestro?  El objetivo de Stop Killing Games no es simbólico: si la iniciativa alcanza suficientes firmas validadas, el Parlamento Europeo tendrá que considerar una ley. Ya hay más de un millón doscientas mil firmas recogidas, pero el propio Ross Scott advierte que muchas podrían ser inválidas, por errores en el llenado o firmas falsas. Por eso, están apuntando a llegar a un millón seiscientas mil. Tienen hasta el 31 de julio.  No todo ha sido celebración. El desarrollador indie Pirate Software, también conocido como Thor, recibió amenazas y fue blanco de acoso masivo luego de criticar algunos aspectos vagos del movimiento. Se retiró del estudio Offbrand Games y denunció ataques a su equipo. Esto abrió un nuevo frente: ¿cómo se puede protestar por derechos digitales sin cruzar la línea del odio? A pesar de estas tensiones, Scott dejó claro que esto es más que una queja: se trata de crear leyes que garanticen que lo que compramos no desaparezca de la noche a la mañana.  La industria ha respondido con resistencia. La organización Video Games Europe, que agrupa a estudios como EA, Nintendo y Microsoft, publicó un comunicado en contra de la propuesta. Dicen que forzarlos a mantener juegos vivos puede elevar los costos y limitar el diseño. Plantean que muchos juegos son online por diseño, y mantenerlos sin soporte sería inseguro. Pero eso no ha frenado al movimiento, que ya dejó en evidencia una discusión global: la brecha entre lo que compramos y lo que realmente poseemos.  El conflicto de Stop Killing Games no es nuevo, pero su impacto sí lo es. La Unión Europea ya ha intervenido antes en defensa de los consumidores, por lo que la posibilidad de legislar a favor de los jugadores no es remota. Si se aprueba una ley que prohíba la eliminación unilateral de juegos ya vendidos, podría sentar un precedente global. América Latina y Estados Unidos podrían seguir ese camino.  En paralelo, iniciativas como el Programa de Conservación de Juegos de GOG intentan rescatar títulos antiguos sin protección DRM, para garantizar que las personas puedan acceder a lo que ya pagaron. Más de cien juegos clásicos están disponibles allí. También surgen propuestas técnicas, como permitir que la comunidad mantenga servidores de juegos abandonados, algo común en títulos como World of Warcraft o Halo.  Esta campaña va más allá del videojuego: es una discusión sobre los derechos del consumidor en la era digital. ¿Tenemos derecho a conservar lo que compramos, o solo estamos alquilando por tiempo indefinido sin saberlo? La respuesta, por ahora, depende de leyes que aún no existen. Pero gracias a más de un millón de firmas, esa respuesta ya está en debate.  Más de un millón de personas piden que no se borren videojuegos ya pagados. Stop Killing Games busca cambiar las leyes en Europa. ¿Ya firmaste tú?Sigue el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify Más de un millón de personas firmaron para impedir que empresas borren videojuegos comprados.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1997's Interstate '76.

Some great new functionality being added to consoles old, new, and even a whole new FOSS based handheld to check out! The wpa2psp plugin for PSP was released and took off, allowing most PSP consoles to get back onto modern WiFi networks again. The PS Vita gets some more love with a couple more ports, one for Carmageddon and another being the Ultimate Spiderman game on Android. We even go to the library on this episode thanks to the Video Game History Foundation's launch of a digital library! PS5's JAR Loader gets updated as we now see read and write access on firmwares up to 7.61! A newer minimalist type setup for a PlayStation ODE is shown thanks to PicoStation's recent updates allowing for better compatibility across the PS1's library. After the pleasant surprise of Grand Theft Auto 3 being ported to the Dreamcast, we're in for another surprise seeing the beginnings of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City being ported over! A whole new system you can build from scratch, the Game Bub, is a project we check out being a handheld FPGA console compatible with the Game Boy family of games. Finally, we take a look at... McDonald's India API security? Yeah, I won't explain that one, just give it a listen and a laugh.

I visited the Sonic The Hedgehog Speed Cafe pop-up restaurant in Atlanta - a place where you are paying for the experience and not for the culinary excellence. (But the food was fine!) We had a listener correct me on calling the Meta Quest 3 a "low-end" VR headset, and then point me to Arcade Time Capsule, a five story VR arcade. (Bring your own games!) Forza Horizon 5 is coming to PlayStation this year. Then we talk to Rob about the Video Game History Foundation and what he searched for when it opened its digital library.

Authentizität und Realismus: Das heftet sich das neu erschienene Mittelalter-Game "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2" vom tschechischen Studio Warhorse an die Fahnen. Rainer Sigl, der Mediävistik studiert hat und das Game ausführlich gespielt hat, stellt diese Behauptung kritisch auf die argumentative Probe. Robert Glashüttner stellt dazu in diesem FM4 Game Podcast die Fragen und leitet durch diese Analyse. Weiters am Programm: die digitale Bibliothek der Video Game History Foundation, das Steam Idler Fest, der Edle Handwerker, und ein Gespräch zu "Citizen Sleeper 2" (Folge #148) Sendungshinweis: FM4 Game Podcast, 6. Februar 2025, 0-1 Uhr.

The Video Game History Foundation has made its archive available for early access, free of charge. Google updates its AI principles removing references to weapons and surveillance.

We're joined by Rob from Rule of 2 Review this week to talk about the future of Xbox and Microsoft's gaming division. Forza Horizon 5 was recently announced to be heading to Sony's PlayStation which leaves everyone wondering if there will be any Xbox exclusives in the future, and if their hardware plans are changing. Is an entirely third party future in the cards for Microsoft? We of course cover the gaming and Nintendo news, too, including more industry layoffs, research on the benefits of video games, the new online library from the Video Game History Foundation, Sony's newest approach to their games on PC, and more. As always, we close with the games we've all been playing.

They also delve into controversial topics such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) following a tragic plane crash and the recent decision by Meta to remove tampons from men's restrooms. Furthermore, the episode takes a lighter turn with a nostalgic look at the Video Game History Foundation's new digital archive and dives into the world of AI in creative processes.

The first part of the podcast is actually about me getting two new kittens! It takes up the first 15 or so minutes. EA is retiring the Origin PC client, which means that they are no longer supporting DRM for titles on 32-bit PC's, so older computers won't be able to launch The Sims anymore. US spending on physical video games has halved since 2021, spelling doom for people who don't want to lose access to their purchases. The Video Game History Foundation has brought most of their library online for research purposes - magazines, dev notebooks, and other things that aren't the games themselves. Then we talk to Rob about the Video Game History Foundation and what he'd search for first when it goes online.

This week, Niki and John dive into the news that BioWare is downsizing and outsourcing part of Mass Effect 5's development. More than that, it strikes our hosts that maybe the series should go away if it means saving the jobs of the remaining employees tasked with such a burden. Anyway, it's a good discussion about a complicated problem.

Phil Salvador, the Library Director of the Video Game History Foundation and returning guest, is ready to apply his archiving expertise to the prompts: taste-o-vision fourth-wall breaking QTE His grounded approach to game preservation keeps Jenna from making a vape game, which is truly for the best. And weirdly, his additional expertise in Frasier finds its own part to play in "Frasier: Dinner Roles." But for the record Jenna still thinks gamer Lik n Dip is a million dollar idea.

This week, Nathan, Chris, and Luke are joined by Frank Cifaldi of the Video Game History Foundation, but not until near the end of the episode, because Frank had multiple other podcasts to be on that day (he's very important). We discuss the unique needs of a video game archive – for example, remote access to games, something the US Copyright Office recently refused to grant after a three-year effort on the part of the Video Game History Foundation and the Software Preservation Network – and what the Foundation has been able to accomplish this year despite a government and industry that often fail to recognize the importance of its work. Also on this episode: The gang (minus Frank) talks about Ubisoft's decision to pull the plug on XDefiant, OpenAI's increasingly money-hungry forays into subscriptions (and maybe ads), and our various hyperfixations in Candy Cabs and Star Wars Outlaws. Oh, and speaking of hyperfixations, Chris says that New Year's resolutions are just an amateur hour version of a real project, so take that, me and everybody else.    Credits - Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, Luke Plunkett, & special guest Frank Cifaldi - Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude - Subscribe to Aftermath!   About The Show Aftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post. Each week, games journalism veterans Luke Plunkett, Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, Riley MacLeod, and Gita Jackson – though not always all at once, because that's too many people for a podcast – break down video game news, Remember Some Games, and learn about Chris' frankly incredible number of special interests. Sometimes we even bring on guests from both inside and outside the video game industry! I don't know what else to tell you; it's a great time. Simply by reading this description, you're already wasting time that you could be spending listening to the show. Head to aftermath.site for more info.

This time around, BioStats and Calamity Nolan interview Phil Salvador, Library Director of the Video Game History Foundation. We expect to return with a new series next week. Twitch: timlongojr Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com

If a AAA game studio is closed, was it ever a AAA studio? Netflix closed their AAA game studio before even announcing a project. The US Copyright Office declined a DMCA exception for Video Game Libraries looking to help researchers access their materials online. A Larian Studios executive made comments about Ubisoft's drive to be more subscription only after the new Prince of Persia was declared not profitable and the team disbanded. Then we talk to Rob about game preservation - which is a very hot topic for him. (Language alert!)

You are here for one thing, and one thing only, Black Ops 6, and guess what, I got exactly what you are looking for. Full Black Ops Coverage! Campaign review, multiplayer preview, and all the launch news. We also have news about a new scary movie, with the WAYANS BROS returning, but as one franchise returns, another fades. We may have seen the end of the Fantastic Beasts spin offs. Plus Nintendo dropped a music app, so are we all gonna have Nintendo Wrapped at the end of the year?

Neither is as easy as it seems, but it will at least be fun in this music-looping, food-sampling rhythm game!

As technology changes and video games become increasingly released only on digital, many of the titles you grew up on may be unplayable today.87% of classic video games — those released before 2010 — are in danger of being lost to time. That's according to a study from the Video Game History Foundation.

For the most part, it’s not too hard to get access to movies from the last decade or even the last century. But if you want to experience a video game from before, say, the ancient era of 2010? Good luck. A new report from the Video Game History Foundation and the Software Preservation Network finds that 87% of those older games are “critically endangered.” They’re not commercially available to the public unless fans have dozens of different old systems to play them on or travel to an archive in person and play them there. In other words, the roots of this hugely influential artistic and cultural medium are in danger of being lost. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Phil Salvador, library director for the Video Game History Foundation, about the report.
