    I agree.

    Although I have to say:

    1. Everyone agrees live service and Singleplayer games are distinct and marketing should be very specific about those

    2. I disagree with Thor about archiving. The game files and server files should be given to a national archive after servers are shutdown and the game in it’s core function becomes unplayable.

    3. I think there is value in protecting private servers from getting sued if the official servers are shut down. That way, no one has to just eat the cost if there’s no interest in the game and fans will not get sued into oblivion.

    4. I know this is only a petition, but: giving this to politicians who have no clue about games will be akin to rolling a d20 and hoping for a 19 or 20. We need to be specific about what we want and only then should we introduce it to ppl who have the power to change it. And if it stays outlined as is, I can not support it.

      Thor fails to understand what kind of legal shit the live service game devs got themselves into - since they offer licence for unspecified amount of time, and committed thmselves to provide server side of things, this could be challenged in court as obligation to upkeep servers forever. What were they thinking?

      At least this stop killing games initiative proposes a graceful exit from that shit.
