Predatory for-profit company when their customers prefer open source, community owned software instead of their per-runtime licensed software:

Oh Yay! I didn't think we'd cross the mark, but fuck yeah! 😭

We finally have a small chance at making sure games don't get destroyed!

UK petition has hit the mark for it to be legally obligated to be discussed in the parliament. So yay.

Though the initial response from the government wasn't great when the petition was launched, we can at least be assured there will be a discussion.

Much more hope for the EU.

Last time I posted this we had only 400k signatures, it's now at 750k.

We can keep this going.

Do you want to own games again? and not just "License" them?

Then please join the Stop destroying Videogames Initiative.

Read the article.

This is such a disingenuous argument. It's only the "reality of things" when the companies demand it and the consumers must endure it. It doesn't take billions of dollars to not de-list a game or make an offline mode, they literally did it for crew 2 after backlash. LOL

It is very very important to get this discussed by the EU parliament!!

It is about OWNING games and not licensing or renting them!

Please help spread the word!

Our situation is more dire than you may understand... It's not just ice, it's the pack... and you are proposing we cross it in September. Even with leads it could take weeks of picking our way through it. Weeks we may not have.
