USA: You're fucked.

Yeah, pretty much. State level right-to-repair laws may be the savior we actually should pursue though in connection to this. Two frags with one railgun shot.

Right-to-repair tackles hardware though
Games are software. USA peeps are screwed there

For one, that's an old court case. Second, right-to-repair must, by necessity, include at least some software provisions as well or else companies are just going to do malicious compliance and serialize every part or just straight up add DRM to everything. Oregon, I believe, already passed a law banning parts serialization. Right-to-repair is also, and must also be, right-to-own.

UK petition is open

Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state

Require publishers to leave videogames (and related game assets / features) they have sold to customers in a reasonably working state when support ends, so that no further intervention whatsoever is necessary for the game to function, as a statutory consumer right.

This is the first actual description of what "stopkillinggames" is.. and I agree completely. Live Service and Always Online DRM are abominations. More acceptable is MMO, if described as such in the initial phases of alpha/beta. Unless they turn a Singleplayer game into Multiplayer only. Then I'm pissed again. Anyway, I hope the petitions make their way through.

Second Wind did a video covering it for sake of signal boosting

Can't believe they still don't have a website
Fun to see escapist forum posters in the comments and sorta sad at the same time

And if you have a forum, delete it! Fuck those years of archived information and conversations. :) The plebs can go on Twitter.
