#StopKillingGames.com aims to delegalize game publishers thanos-snapping games you've paid real money for when they feel like it. Exactly what Ubisoft recently did with The Crew.
@unfa Would be nice to have a law saying something like: "If the service is terminated and the product becomes unusable, self-hosting of the same service must become available."
@profoundlynerdy Having a backup does nothing. The game calls to a remote server. And without that server, the game will refuse to work. This is very common in the industry.
@profoundlynerdy Imagine a car manufacturer ending support for their older vehicles... You sit in your car, you turn the keys and nothing happens.
Or your television set showing an error and refusing to play anything because the company "ended support". People have physical copies. They have discs with the game and it refuses to work.
@profoundlynerdy The Crew isn't a special game in this regard. This happens all the time. However, it's a very popular game. And Ubisoft is a French company. France has strong consumer protection laws. This game opened a possibility to finally set a good precedent here. It's now or never.
