Save future videogames from planned obsolescence!
There is an initiative asking the EU to regulate or at least clarify video games being made inaccessible remotely by publishers.
The initiative is on an official channel provided by the EU itself, if it reaches one million signatures the European Commission will have to look into the matter and provide a response, there is still a month until 31 July.
@Beckydog @MOULE There's a petition in the UK too!
Here's the link:

If you need more information you can check the website for the initiative ( https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ ) or write me back, I'm not direclty affiliated with the campaign but I'm trying to help reaching the goal :)
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.
