Typical Julius response … Always downplaying everything …
Julius, did you even watch the video? It seems you are basically ignoring, like, ALL of the arguments brought up. If you don't have time for the whole video, just jump to 1:10:10 of the video then.
GaaS can certainly NOT be compared with plumbing.
“People choose to use them …”. Well, that's exactly the problem! People use it, not knowing about the problems or not expecting the sudden death of the game. If these companies get their way, it will only spread and become worse.
“There is a market for them …”. How? GaaS is completely artificial that is just to serve business/monopoly interests. If there is a market, its only because people are tricked into thinking they need this.
“ rather focus on making it easier for everyone to not use them if they chose to do so”. That sounds a lot like “voting with your wallet”. Well, if this is our only defense, then we're doomed. People NEED to be educated about the dangers of GaaS.
Another very important point was preservation of games. This is much bigger than just a consumer rights issue.
I could go on and on but that's already explained in the video.
You just literally ignored every argument that was made. I cannot take you serious at all, sorry.
Anyhow, I have now seen the very long response video. I didn't really like the video, it was much less fun to watch as its a recorded livestream and unstructured … It was only about the US legal side anyway and tbh I don't even care much about the legal. As has been said, even if the legal arguments are wrong, then the law is wrong. The title kind of suggests a complete rebuttal but it actually was not and the lawyer actually agreed with many points. Just not with the “fraud”. Oh well. Overall, the video was still OK because they had a good discussion. But the content could have been condensed more.
Yeah, the “fraud” discussion is indeed debatable but that was not actually the key point. Let's call it “scam” or “deception” instead.
