The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them. We seek this as a statutory consumer right.

This, but there was also the WoW situation, and when he filed a false DMCA claim against an indie developers game, which got removed from Steam (but is back up now) over content shown in a video that was not actually present in the game files (Thor did not verify that what he was claiming was actually true).

This is the problem with people who have massive audiences, they need to verify what they claim otherwise they can do a lot of harm to people.
