  Yeah, that’s literally what the last sentence meant

    You argue that you can’t decide how a game is ended becauSe the studio might go under.

    I argue such cases can be omitted by implementing the end of life process in the design phase.

      I argue that Stop Killing Games is essentially fighting the wrong law. Instead of trying to get the phone makers from adapting usb-c during manufacturing - they’re trying to get the manufacturers to replace the old charging port to usb-c after end of life. That is also why the judges essentially said this is unfeasible.

        They quite literally do not.

        They want – preferably all current, but possibly just new/upcoming – games to have an end of life plan from the moment they are released.
        They want that, when a server is switched off, the game doesn’t become bricked. That is something that can be taken into account before a game is released.
