The EU Citizens petition to stop killing games is not looking good. It’s shy of halfway where it needs to be, on a very high threshold, and it’s over in a month and change.
paraphrasing a little more than a half hour of the video: “Man, fuck Thor/Pirate Software for either lying or misunderstanding and signal boosting his incorrect interpretation of the campaign.”
The past year has been quite draining on Ross, so he’s done campaigning after next month.
It will still take a few years for the dust to clear at various consumer protection bureaus in 5 different countries, and the UK’s seems to be run by old men who don’t understand what’s going on.
At least The Crew 2 and Motorfest will get offline modes as a consolation prize?
It’s a shame, but unsurprising. Especially with everyone addicted to live service skinner boxes now and a certain someone insisting live services would cease to exist overnight if this went anywhere.
Since that video was posted, there’s actually been a swell of support thanks to some big youtubers making videos about it. It’s already gotten 100k signatures in 2 days, so all hope may not be lost!
