California Bill Would Force Publishers to Keep Games Playable
Stop Killing Games is backing a California bill that would finally hold publishers accountable when they pull the plug on online games.
• Publishers must provide an offline mode or another way to keep the game running after server shutdown
• If that's not possible, players get a full refund
• Goal is protecting digital ownership and game preservation
The Crew getting bricked with zero recourse is what happens when you let publishers sell you a product they can repossess whenever it stops being profitable. You paid for it. You should keep it.
