# This initiative aims to stop game companies to make games unplayable after their end of service. Meaning they will either have to give people an offline patch or let people to host their own servers once the company closes theirs, so you won’t lose acces to something you paid for.

If you live in EU, you can already sign petition to push this into EU parliament reading, and hopefuly make it into law. It takes just three minutes to fill the form.
But if you are non-EU citizen don’t sign it yourself. Every non-EU citizen signing will give the EU a reason to throw away the petition as fraudulent. If you are non-EU citizen, you can follow this website to see what you can do from your country to help the cause
In all seriousness what kind of dystopia do we live in where videos games you buy with your hard earned money aren’t yours

Not taking into account the cost of electricity, maintenance and hardware required to open a server for most online games basically if someone creates a game they have to be bound to let it drain their wallet for eternity after it’s dead and theyre hemorrhaging money?
How about the people who want this all purchase the rights to the dead game and keep it running rather than forcing it?
But my answer would be no unless it’s refined to a point that it’s not a mass of mindless bullshit from a handful of emotionally hurt players cause things come to an end so they wanna throw a tantrum and force something like this. (Don’t care if I get downvoted to oblivion for saying this)
