  I wish some big-name YT/Twitch personality helped raise awareness for the petition. It’s ending in a few months and if nothing changes, I don’t see it reaching the required signatures in time.

    Does Ross/Accursed Farms, the person who started this movement, not count?

      It’s good, he’s the originator, but the reach in Europe is not that great and there have only been a few multilingual channels that have picked it up.

    It’s not going to get the signatures because the average person does not care about this. I play a lot of games and even I don’t care. If you don’t like the game, don’t buy it. Why does there need to be regulation to stop me from buying it too?

      Interesting how condifently you are talking about the subject even though your comment makes it obvious you have no idea what the petition is about.

        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.

        If a company says they’re going to disable a video game a year after I purchase it and I won’t be able to retain or repair it and I agree to those terms, can I still buy it?

      Even if you just looked at the screenshot it’s pretty clear that’s not what the petition is about. Could you go away and do literally one seconds worth of research, and then come back and explain why you made such a brainless comment.
