Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold
petition.parliament.uk
external-link
The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them. We seek this as a statutory consumer right.

    This response reads as though they continue to not understand the problem.

    They only got 13k signatures this time? I wonder if PirateSoftware, who I have very quickly lost respect for (like literally over the course of just a few days), had anything to do with this?

      That guy truly is a knob. I dropped him for his take on Stop Killing Games, it was such an obviously brain-dead take…

        @CancerMancer not to mention self-motivated. Didn’t he release a live service game soon after taking that stance?

      A far shorter time span, and this applies only to the UK, not the EU. It got a (bad) government response, so it achieved the intended effect.
