Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

I would be really happy If she could give up ownership of this game and let someone who actually cares about it work on the game.

Hello,

I would be interested in obtaining the domain name if they are willing.
I promise that me and a couple of my friends (who are employed programmers and computer science graduates) can deliver a game in the following months (certainly this year), that is compatible with EE's former maps.
I am serious. 100% this is accomplishable by our team.

Please contact me to discuss this further.

No offense but isn't this what the last 5 EE "owners" have said?

We need a lawyer. Oh and we need original graphics for the Grass and Metal blocks so we don't give the lawyer a heart attack.

Don't get me started on the Facebook smilies

Please see my Long-Term Plan post for what the future holds for Everybody Edits!

Now that the dysfunctional team consists of like three members does the long term plan from 2018 still hold any relevance?

#9 Re: Game Discussion » Proposing a new Ownership system » 2020-05-11 19:20:30

People with no experience being a project manager or running any sort of business should stop proposing dumb staff structures

Also, keep in mind that most business don't have convoluted staff structures like this. They are successful because of good leadership and smart decision making by the founders (which include operating agreements, vesting schedules, etc - things that legally set a structure for minimal abuse). I think it's pretty obvious that the failures of EE staff is due to the inexperience (or incompetence really) of the owner and not a specific structure.

I've read the OP and Xeno's response, nothing else however because this thread is massive.

> If you're interested, please do message me on Discord so we can discuss it.

Hopefully its clear to everyone who is considering this that it will be an absolute waste of time to work on this game.
I think Luke quitting will be what finally kills this game. Josh is a great dev but he won't be able to continue to support all the technical aspects by himself, and nobody will (or should) work for basically free, especially in this work environment.
There has been so much drama in this game and it seems like nobody ever learns any lessons from it.
I'll wait and see what happens though, because if anything stays the same, it will be the fact the game isn't going to be finished, and that all the drama will be aired for everyone to read on the forums since the management has never heard of PR.

Personally, I’ve only ever found EE fun when there’s lots of players and prexisting worlds. EEU doesn’t have that yet. So I doubt I’m going to play it much unless it gets popular.


But there’s something else we have to consider. We’ve all grown up. We’re all more mature and have different tastes. Maybe, we just don’t enjoy the game anymore... I mean, it’s not really for us. It’s mostly a children’s game, teens’ at most. We keep blaming things such as a lack of or **** updates for why we don’t enjoy the game so much but realistically the issue is probably us and not the game. Personally, the game hasn’t really appealed to me for years now. The only thing that keeps us here is the community. I think the game will be popular. With the right advertising, 8-16 year olds will flock to this game. But I don’t think it will be popular among us.

This is a really good point. I first started playing EE in my first year of middle school, and I'm now about to graduate college. That's a long time and I would be surprised if any of the "original" EE players were actually interested (or have time) to play such a game again.

I think we also need to consider that the popular days of EE came before the mobile games market really exploded. Browser games were a big thing back them, but with so much of the target audience now having smartphones, the medium has shifted considerably to mobile.

The other day I was thinking, if you actually say EEU out loud, it kinda sounds like Ew.  Problematic?  I dunno, maybe.  I mean the full name is quite a mouthful, so I imagine it'd mostly be referred to as EEU.  I mean, how often do we fully type out Everybody Edits? It's almost always EE/ee.

The name sounds kinda cool, but it's 10 syllables long, but sorta feels like 11-12.  Ev-er-y-bo-dy Ed-it-s U-ni-ver-se.  S's at the end kinda create a half syllable.  I guess it's hard to create a short name if Everybody Edits is in the title, as it alone is probably the longest a game name should be.

Well I think most people say E E as two letters, so E E U doesn't sound like Ew. Saying EE U or EE Universe seems fine.

Who at Player.IO thought it would be a good idea to let clients view (and modify?) this stuff directly? With this kind of security, how close are we to getting a cryptocurrency miner onto Player.IO's servers?

I feel like people are playing devil’s advocate just for the sake of it - nobody actually cares whether EE of all things complies with the GDPR.

In EE’s case it sounds like a huge faff that benefits nobody. Whoopee, I could ask to get my data deleted - as if I couldn’t anyway - but now I can pretend that I’ll go to the trouble of reporting Megalamb if he refuses.

Likewise I could probably list all the data that EE and the forums have on me, but I want the right to ask for a copy - why? In case I forget my own email address? For the lols of wasting a mod’s time?

This ain’t Facebook calculating your weaknesses to 10 decimal places. Nothing changes.

In my experience with the GDPR, a good aspect of it is bringing awareness of good practices for handling personal data. I would agree that likely nobody really cares since EE is just a simple game that already collects very little information, but that makes compliance easy and the GDPR will make companies think twice about collecting data they don't need or wouldn't feel comfortable asking. (e.g. what if player.io or any companies that EE uses internally were to use our data in a way we didn't consent to) Since EE is actually based in the England there isn't much of a "I don't care about GDPR" defense if anything were to happen like some U.S. companies are doing. EE is likely doing everything right and the GDPR will just provide more reason for good data security practices.

Working on the other stuff as well, but at least got this in place now:

I am not 100% sure but I think that things like session/login cookies (where there is an obvious legitimate interest) do not need a cookie warning. Different story if they are used for tracking though. I expected EE to only use cookies for saving the session but there are actually a ton of cookies so I guess it actually is needed (but why are there so many)?

EE doesn't use or store user's private information. Except for the ip for obvious, not business related activities (ip-bans)

so i think GDPR doesn't apply for ee

GDPR does apply to any personal information, which includes IP addresses, emails, etc. There are of course legitimate reasons to store this data longer than 30 days (e.g. for ip bans).

LukeM wrote:

Don't things like email address and password count as private info? (And pretty sure IP counts too)

We only store ip to use it in non-commercially beneficial way (only for ip bans)

Emails and Passwords are stored in playerio. We don't and can't deal with them

Any data that is processed on your behalf is still your responsibility. Just because the data is stored on another server or processed by another provider doesn't mean it's not your data. (In fact, to comply with deletion requests and such, you need to remove the data from all third-parties that process data on your behalf as well). If your service providers are unable to comply with these requests, then they are not GDPR compliant themselves, making them unsuitable for you to use if you are going to be GDPR compliant. When you consider the requirements for the GDPR, you need to think about (and you should already know) where your data is, for example in web server logs, forum backups, your PayPal account (or whatever) for processing payments, etc.

can html5 go on steam?

Well I don't know anything about Steam's policies, but from a technical standpoint, as long as it can be bundled as an executable (with Electron in this case), it could be.
