Can someone explain to me why Pirate Software has such a big problem with it, I tried to look it up and I'm still struggling to understand.
He thinks the initiative's goal isn't clear and passing a law based on an unclear direction would effectively kill all live service games.
The problem is, reason behind making a law about it is clarifying how to approach this problem in the first place.
I don't think "killing all live servoce games" would even be bad at this point. When I ran dedicated servers back in the day that was much better.
PoE is pretty cool. Eve must be live service. Neither can be bought and hence would likely be unaffected. With regard to PoE you could make an argument for the contrary, to be fair.
Battlefield and CoD on the other hand...
Eh, I played Diablo and Diablo 2. You can't tell me they wouldn't be better if I ran a dedicated server. With mods. Heh
I can. The value of path of exile is in part it's economy. It is not meant as a single player game for the average player. You drop loot for everyone and need your loot which dropped for everyone else.
