Stop Killing Games Fights to Stop Publishers from Revoking Access to Full-Price Products

And it’s picking up speed

Image: Push SquareThere have been a few instances recently of publishers rendering full-price games obsolete.

The Crew is perhaps the most famous example: a game designed to be played online, which had its servers shutdown in 2023.

This means if you own a copy of the release on Blu-ray, it’s utterly worthless these days, as you can’t play it at all.

Stop Killing Games has been appealing to local governments to put a stop to this practice, and the campaign is picking up pace ahead of its 31st July deadline.

At the time of writing, an impressive 822,211 have signed a petition appealing to the European Union to incorporate new legislation against the practice.
