Games Won't Die: Campaign Fights Publisher Delisting
22 Feb
Summary
- Campaign plans NGOs for EU and US to counter publisher lobbying.
- Goal is to codify petition into EU law and report publisher actions.
- Efforts led to Ubisoft adding an offline mode for The Crew 2.
The Stop Killing Games campaign is expanding its efforts by establishing two non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the European Union and the United States. These NGOs will focus on long-term counter-lobbying against publishers who delist video games. Organizers intend to have their petition incorporated into EU law and create a system to report publishers for revoking access to games that players have already purchased.
This movement gained significant traction after Ubisoft's decision to remove The Crew from players' access. The campaign leadership is actively engaging with the European Commission and compiling extensive legal documentation on industry practices. Notably, these ongoing efforts have prompted Ubisoft to update The Crew 2 with an offline mode, indicating a shift in publisher response.
