Abolish the European Comission, and hold all commisioners accountable for their crimes and treason.

The Comission has repeatedly made it clear that it does not have the European Union's best interests in mind. It's an entity evidently run by foreign powers, that constantly puts the future of the entire European Union at risk.

I remember loving Capcom for making Mega Man X Dive Offline when the online game died.

I was really hoping that shit would become the norm

Piracy is irrelevant in this case since games that can be pirated aren't games that have the kind of server reliance kill switch that SKG seeks to eliminate.

Well, i am not going to pay for something that can be taken away from me at no notice.

FYI, the stop killing games creators knew this would happen from a leaked article months ago, and instead shifted to work with EU Parliament, where they have majority support.

The EU commission just outed themselves as corrupt corporate cronies for nothing, as Stop Killing Games continues.

So they'll do nothing then.

They really want to promote piracy.

Just lapse the fucking copyright and make the source code subject to FOI when the game leaves stores.

A "voluntary code" os completely useless. No one stopped them from caring without a code in place and keeping games alive hurts profits in the long term so no one will do that voluntarily.
