1. I’m still raging Ubisoft removed the Rambo, Danny Trejo and Stranger Things DLC from FC6. That explosive bow was the bollocks.

2. The issue is you don’t own any of the games you buy these days. Ever since we have moved to digital keys over discs, consumers have lost their ownership of games.

   There’s a clause even in steam that tell you you only purchase a licence to play the game that can be revoked at anytime without a refund.

   The best way to combat this is for the consumer to stop buying games from companies who have these kind of business practices.

3. What would getting this to 10k achieve?

4. So Gta cod and spyro will be gone

5. I’m very sorry but this is so laughably unenforceable that it is essentially pointless.

   Because this will apply to end-of-life server shutdowns, as you cannot play an online game without them, and developers will never commit to running online games in perpetuity, because that’s absolutely insane.

   So if this somehow did become a law, they would simply not release games in the UK any more.

   Think about Overwatch 1, it cost £30 on release and is now deleted and unplayable. Blizzard is using those many expensive servers for Overwatch 2, do you think they would preserve the entirety of Overwatch 1 just for the UK?

   Edit: instead of downvotes, tell me why you disagree? I work in development and if someone told a product owner they had to ensure their app customers had access to the app for perpetuity they would immediately stop developing it.

6. Still bitter over destiny 2, but it was going downhill at that point anyway.

7. Not just games. I had a mapping app on my phone; that I had purchased maps for; that they just remotely disabled! Was rather pissed off.

8. Love ross scott

9. It’s such bollocks that we’re only ever buying a licence to games & we’re never really owning anything.
