Stop Killing Games is a new campaign to stop developers making games unplayable

We've all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection and a couple of years later the publisher decided they're done with it and shut it down leaving you with a broken game. Annoying.

@gamingonlinux killing games that have single player content & can totally be played offline is no problem, the problem is killing games that have a huge portion/totally online and/or we can only buy and/or download DLCs (especially if they enrich single player content) while the game servers are online, plus, it's stupid to not find old games on modern stores, that fact encourages piracy

@bargoderea @gamingonlinux If they can be played totally offline, then they can't be killed.

@ampersandrew @gamingonlinux they can be killed if they remove it from stores

@bargoderea @gamingonlinux That's not what that means in the context of this effort. Especially since distributors have thus far been good about not removing the game from your account in those scenarios.

@ampersandrew @bargoderea @gamingonlinux call of Duty Cold War on PC is a good example of online function only to play. It checks it at every start up.
