If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe

In 2023 alone we saw nearly a dozen games like Battlefield, Call of Duty: Warzone, Knockout City, Spellbreak, and more meet the same grim fate as the lights went off for good. One way to combat the killing of games is to propose a new law, an effort that is currently underway in the European Union. 🖋️

2K removes its pointless launcher from Civilization 6, while also announcing that Civilization 7 players will never have to suffer launching the game twice for no reason

2K has removed its 2K launcher from Steam, with plans to also remove it on Epic in the near future. No reason was given for the change, but the general response to the decision was one of relief. “Thank goodness. I am very tired of having half a dozen launchers on my computer in addition to Steam,” wrote one user. 🖋️
