Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched
moody@lemmings.world 6 days agoThe goal is not to prevent you from agreeing to bad terms, it’s to prevent the companies from imposing those bad terms on people.
Would you rather buy a game that you know is going to die in a year, or the same game but that can be played for as long as you want?
Would you rather companies keep making games with a short expiration date, or games that people can keep playing if they so choose?

I would rather I get to make that choice instead of it being imposed onto me. You can make your choice. I can make mine.

Currently, they don’t even give you that choice. They’re the ones making that decision. Sure, you can buy it, but you don’t get to decide if you want to play their game longer than they want you to.

What a joke. Who would ever choose having their shit taken away after a year?

Who would people buy cigarettes? Who would people buy a Cybertruck? Who would people buy meat? Just because you wouldn’t choose it doesn’t mean it’s a choice that must be banned.

As it stands now, it’s difficult for the consumer to make the informed choice that you can make with any of those. And the comparison is that you’d prefer cigarettes that didn’t cause cancer, because they absolutely have the ability to make cigarettes that don’t cause cancer in this metaphor, but they choose not to because they believe they stand to make more money the way things are.
