Sign here to support the EU’s “STOP destroying videogames”

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.

Specifically, the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames without the involvement from the side of the publisher.

The initiative does not seek to acquire ownership of said videogames, associated intellectual rights or monetization rights, neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state.

    Oh thanks, so does the proposal never get into the EUs hands? This would make me question how effective this will be

      If it will be successful (i.e. enough countries over the threshold of subscribers) it will get into the EUs hands.
