One concern that exists regarding Nintendo Switch games and especially those from other past consoles is their preservation. Precisely for this reason, a new proposal is being worked on in this regard.
The closure of servers and online stores causes Many video games are unplayableFor this reason, a group of players is asking for signatures to create a legal framework that prevents publishers from ceasing to support games that depend on online connectivity.
The initiative has received 11,786 signatures from gamers from 27 European countries (except UK). Only citizens of the European Union can sign the petition on the European Citizens’ Initiative. You can sign it here.
These are the keys:
- Objectives of the initiative
- Require publishers selling or licensing video games in the EU to maintain such games in a functional (playable) state.
- Invoke EU laws, such as Article 17 §1 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
- Arguments of the initiative
- Fans who pay for a video game should be able to expect that it will remain playable.
- Video games often require an Internet connection to the publisher to run.
- When support ends, publishers cut the connection, destroying all working copies of the game.
- Leader of the cause
- Ross Scott of YouTube channel Accursed Farms, who attempted to sue Ubisoft for shutting down The Crew.
- Scott is a popular voice against live gaming services and their preservation.
- Promotes the new initiative with a video called “Europeans can save the games”.
