The European Commission has rejected a petition bearing 1,294,188 verified signatures to propose legislation against making end-of-life premium games permanently unplayable.

Inaccurate title as it just was the corporate bought commission that opposed the initiative when parliament can amend the Digital Fairness Act to include an end of life plan for future games.

All those articles that keep popping up make me wonder whether they're just rage-baiting, or if they're actively trying to build a narrative that the fight is lost and everyone should move on.

In either case it's pissing me off.

Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.
