1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR.

THE ANSWER WAS NO.

The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought.

The European Commission's official response:
- It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far
- Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second.
- The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games
- Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have

1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings.

And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not.

Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it.

If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.

It makes me sad that half of fromsoftware fans won't even be able to play The Duskbloods when it comes out

Notice how even in Israeli propaganda, Israel wipes out a city and kills countless civilians due to being mildly annoyed

White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.

In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.

Monsters.

Can't overstate how important it is to celebrate and publicize these historic wins in the face of huge rightwing ideological & political apparatuses.

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

This list isn’t complete without Leopold II of Belgium, the most devilish man on earth, who killed 10-15 million Africans.

I remember posting this when payment processors started acting up against art, games, etc.

Time to bring it back.

Stardew Valley has no microtransactions because its creator, Eric Barone, chose this on purpose. He cares more about players than money.

“I just genuinely value the love of the players more than the money that I could squeeze out of everyone. I just know that that would not bring me as much happiness as being beloved by the community.

So it’s like, to me, it’s kind of a no-brainer. You might even call it selfish, because I’m really doing what is going to make me the happiest.

You know, you can either chase the dollar or you can chase the respect and admiration of the community. And [chasing the community] is just what I prefer. That makes me feel better than having money.”

Because of this, Stardew Valley is a one-time buy with no paid DLC or in-game purchases. All six big updates since 2016 have been free
Barone has said he will keep future updates and any new games free of these things too.

Barone shows that putting the community first can create one of the most loved games ever, most of the game companys constantly try to make extra money from players

Dishonored is one of those games that makes you miss a place you would absolutely hate living in.

Dunwall is cold, filthy, dangerous, and falling apart…

but somehow every time I see it, I want to go back.
