[EU] Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from destroying older games with kill switches after official support ends.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures so that the european parliament will respond to the petition that then leads to game ownership protections enacted for consumers.

If offline mode makes it to release, it will be bricked within 3 months after they get their cash grab.

What do you mean exactly? I kind of plan to get the game but o ly if it's playable offline (fully). If they can still prevent me from launching it, I'm not interested.

Just stating that, in fact, the "purchaser" doesn't own games anymore and they have the right and ability to do what they want after they have your (the purchasers) money.

TLDR: They can legally do whatever they want at any time which includes flipping a switch to kill the offline mode.

Ok, I see what you mean. So I guess a login then play offline. Pass then, but with a bit of luck, a pirated version will be made some day.

I would be happy to give them money, but not for something they can take back.
