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.

@effeindi just stop buying games that don't have physical versions

@xsevy the problem is that many games with physical copy require checking a server. If the publisher shuts down the server without patching the game in other ways, you're physical copy is useless.
"The Crew" servers shutdown by Ubisoft is the case from which the campaign started, it had both physical and digital distribution. It currently can't be played in any way or platform.

@effeindi I don't care about Ubisoft because there's not even one good game released by them
