What happened: A group called Stop Killing Games is campaigning against publishers who disable games, arguing players should still be able to access and play them. They want guarantees that games remain playable even if servers are closed.
Why it matters:
- It affects players who lose access to games they have paid for when servers are shut down.
- It raises questions about digital ownership and the longevity of online games.
MNN Take: As many games rely on online servers, shutting them down can make games unplayable. The campaign highlights the need for clearer policies to protect players’ access to their games.
