Stop Killing Games has opened a European Citizens' Initiative proposing new law that would make game publishers have to leave games in a playable state when they stop supporting them. (www.stopkillinggames.com)

This comes after a sea of games have been lost due to the creators turning off the servers. While community remake projects like RELB for Lawbreakers, Loadout Reloaded and a server emulator for The Crew exist, they're miles behind where we'd be if publishers just released a way to host our own servers before killing their creations. They need more signatures from European citizens and then the proposal goes to a board who decide what to do with it.

If an indie goes for an "always online" model, they did it to themselves and deserve it. This is about you buying a game, and then losing all access to it because it needed to ping home, and home decided the game sold like shit so they won't support it anymore.
