EU Petition Seeks to Ban Destruction of Video Game Titles, Affecting Gamers' Investments
A European petition titled 'Stop Destroying Videogames' has garnered support from over a million people, urging the European Union to prevent video game publishers from discontinuing older game titles. This practice, which involves shutting down servers and rendering games unplayable, has affected popular franchises like FIFA and The Crew. The petition, organized by Brendan Fourdan, highlights the financial and cultural impact on gamers who have invested in these games through microtransactions. The campaigners have engaged with EU lawmakers, including the European Commission's digital chief Henna Virkkunen, to advocate for legislative changes that would allow games to remain playable on private servers or require publishers to refund players.
