Did you know? 70% of online-only games end up completely unplayable after server support ends.

And worse, the main reason this number isn't 100% is because fans of the game sometimes manage to reverse-engineer and emulate the servers to make the game playable again.

Without that, it would mean that 96% of this entire industry is trying to scam consumers by breaking the product they bought after purchase!

And don't even get me started on how awful it is for game preservation...

If you want to stop this, you need to sign the Stop Destroying Videogames European Citizen Initiative: eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public

I know it needs twice as many signatures and there's only 2 months left, but it was also the same with the initiative against conversion therapy and it got a big enough boost to 1 million right before it expired. Hopefully it can be done again.

Don't let the corporations redefine what it means to own something.

Pleased to see the EU stop killing games petition has reached minimum thresholds in 7 countries, but they still need 550,000 total signatures by July 31st. Only EU citizens can sign, so if you are one and haven't signed it, please consider doing so.

La pétition en bas a besoin de 550,000 signatures des Européens avant le 31 juillet. C'est pour arrêter ce qui s'est passé avec The Crew au futur (merci Ubisoft, RIP The Crew).

Some updates on the #StopKillingGames campaign from Ross. We had a couple of big promotions that fell through, frustratingly, but our main chance for the European Citizens' Initiative is for non-English sponsored messages on YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Contact Ross if you're interested!

Pressure from the #StopKillingGames campaign caused #Ubisoft to implement offline modes for The Crew 2 + The Crew Motorfest. We are making an impact! Keep signing if you want more games to have end-of-life plans, keep your consumer rights safe, and advance game preservation!

Acabo de firmar la iniciativa "Stop Killing Games":
eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/

"Stop Killing Games" es un movimiento de consumidores iniciado para desafiar la legalidad de que los editores destruyan videojuegos que han vendido a los clientes. Un número creciente de videojuegos se venden efectivamente como bienes, sin fecha de expiración declarada, pero diseñados para ser completamente injugables tan pronto como termine el soporte del editor. Esta práctica es una forma de obsolescencia planificada y no solo es perjudicial para los clientes, sino que hace que la preservación sea efectivamente imposible. Además, la legalidad de esta práctica en gran medida no ha sido probada en muchos países.

« Nuestro movimiento busca aprobar una nueva ley en la UE para poner fin a esta práctica. Nuestra propuesta haría lo siguiente:

Requerir que los videojuegos vendidos se mantengan en un estado operativo cuando finalice el soporte.
Requerir que no haya conexiones con el editor después de que finalice el soporte.
No interferir con ninguna práctica comercial mientras un juego todavía tiene soporte.

Si eres ciudadano de la UE, ¡por favor firma la iniciativa ciudadana! »

An announcement regarding the
#StopKillingGames movement:

We call upon you to share the word about the Initiative far and wide. Online, or in your daily life, you MUST spread the news to ANYONE you can reach! Regardless of whether or not those you approach play video games, it is important to emphasize that our continuing endeavor to protect our consumer rights and preserve our art and culture will have a universal impact on citizens of the European Union as a whole.

@Kletskous I don't understand the reasoning behind this poll. The #PPEU is a *political party*. Ergo, its job is to produce politics; its job is to intervene. As is the case with the #PPI, though, under the Germans' "leadership", it's become a mere instrument for approving budgets and Board member appointments. The PPEU was absent from all political matters besides #StopKillingGames & #ChatControl in the past two years. @monadoll @Birgitta @vasper @piratepartygr

Yeah, I completely agree.

Europeans, you all have once in a lifetime chance to save one form of digital art, Games! For everyone!

Currently game publishers can take away your access to games when they shut down authentication servers.

This EU bill aims to give users the ability to keep using the assets they paid for offline, on their own computers.

Sign up and save a bit of your culture! Brought to you by EU MPs and Gaming fanatics.
