A massive online petition fights against video game companies that shut down their products forever. YouTuber Ross Scott started this campaign after Ubisoft killed The Crew racing game. The Stop Killing Games movement wants new laws that stop publishers from creating games they can destroy at any time. Scott argues these companies sell games like regular products but design them to become worthless when support ends. Over one million people have signed the petition demanding protection for gamers.
Major video game publishers are fighting back hard against this growing movement. Video Games Europe speaks for huge companies like EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, and Epic Games. They released a statement claiming new laws would make online games cost way more money to create. The industry group says companies must have the right to shut down games when they stop making profits. They promise to give players fair warning before closing any online services.
Scott fired back at the publishers with his response to their complaints. He says the petition never tries to stop companies from ending their online games. The movement just wants publishers to shut down games responsibly without stealing rights from customers. Scott believes companies should leave games playable even after official support ends. The petition deadline approaches fast but nobody knows if lawmakers will actually pass new rules protecting gamers.
