The current language in this proposal is far too vague and has the potential to do more harm than good...I would hold off on signing this until a better proposal is made

This is limited to EU members, yes? Not anyone in Europe?

Wouldn’t they just not release the games instead?

I don’t feel like reading the article, but I’m guessing if they want to release a multiplayer game that you have to pay for, and they want to shut down their servers (making the game unplayable), maybe they would be required to release their server software so people can host themselves.

What do the first three Cyrillic characters mean?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I'm no expert but I think it's "PPSh".

Nothing that I know of, russian isn't my first language.

Edit: oh jeez you meant ППШ. Yeah the П is english P, which since I speak english sometimes my brain forgets to translate and goes with Р which is actually R in cyrillic. Origionally before I fixed it in the edit I had typed РРШ, which is nothing and I thought you meant that.

ППШ-41 is the gun in the pic.
