The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Yeah and you can't, you missed the window, tough shit.

Paid copies of the game were taken away from people for the crime of "not migrating an account when we told them to". Either because they didn't play at that time but wanted to go back, because they didn't have access to the email / didn't read the one the account is registered on, or didn't bother with it.
