The Crew - Ubisoft, now unplayable as servers shut down

Stop Killing Games is a new campaign to stop developers making games unplayable

We've all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection and a couple of years later the publisher decided they're done with it and shut it down leaving you with a broken game. Annoying.

killing games that have single player content & can totally be played offline is no problem, the problem is killing games that have a huge portion/totally online and/or we can only buy and/or download DLCs (especially if they enrich single player content) while the game servers are online, plus, it's stupid to not find old games on modern stores, that fact encourages piracy

Personally I'd globally legalize:
1. Having a copy of a game on your PC regardless of what platform it was meant for (if you have the right to play it ofc)
2. Any attempt and success at making an online game (which includes singleplayer games these days) work after it was shut down
3. Emulating whatever platform a game was made for
4. Distributing abandonware games for free
5. Tempted to also go for allowing further modding

I'd be fine if it was strictly non-commercial

utiliser la DGCCRF pour forcer les éditeurs a proposer une option 'private server', self histed, bien sûr, quand ils abandonnent une licence. Brillant ! Je signe ou ?
