"Stop Killing Games" is a consumer movement started to challenge the legality of publishers destroying video games they have sold to customers. An increasing number of video games are sold effectively as goods - with no stated expiration date - but designed to be completely unplayable as soon as support from the publisher ends. This practice is a form of planned obsolescence and is not only detrimental to customers, but makes preservation effectively impossible. Furthermore, the legality of this practice is largely untested in many countries.

every game you could ever want is already online for free
just stop buying garbage

Can't even play a lot of the games from my childhood anymore because they're no longer available for purchase or supported.

While I don't really suffer from this I'm sympathetic to the cause, people deserve to have access to a thing they bought, especially when it's really a single player game with online DRM. Initiative started around the case of Ubisoft shutting down servers for The Crew (which had an offline mode btw), making the game unavailable for people who wanted to play it for longer. What is good is that Ubisoft have decided to implement non-DRM true offline mode in next The Crew series titles.

SAVE US MOLD MAN!

I already signed it, I'll sign any petition that fucks corporations

I mostly play old shit and jap shit. Being from a legacy of pirates I still uphold it and it's freegogpcgames.com and 1337x.to whenever I want to try something out unless it is online only. Old consoles? No one cares about their ROMs anyway like Tony Hawk Proskater 2 for PS1.

To add everything is playable from past years because there are a lot of autists in the gaming community. Just look up sonic unleashed recompiled, a title deemed unplayable unless you had a 5k euro PC for Xbox 360 emulation now can run on toasters at Max settings and it dropped out of nowhere.

I'm very much in the same boat (and why I signed it). The games I play aren't impacted by this, but really, I just think that if you buy something, you should also be able to actually own it.
Plus, no single player game should require an online connection to be useable.

Well it's a matter of sooner or later it would be games you care about, so it's important to stop the practice before it becomes a standard, as the publishers wish it would.

The mold commands, the system obeys.

Shit nobody cares about

I don't mind shit games dying. Good games will live on in some autist's seedbox forever.

I can't think of any live service games that are worth preserving, except for Diablo 3 but even that game has offline versions on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4

The formula is always the same,
>Publisher makes good game
People get interested
>Follow up game is complete dogshit
Everyone but the turboautists loses interest
>8 years later nobody plays anymore and the publisher shuts off the servers
Autists start screeching
If the autists didn't wait until 8 years after the publisher fucked up the game people would actually support them

Name an example

>Sign this petition! It'll totally do something! Just sign bro!
Why do retards keep falling for this shit? Can I sell you painted rocks? They'll purify your energy, only $100 each

>>212316030
The irony is you cannot preserve them. It's implied that good games aren't live service.

>>212316133
Don't Starve. They were so successful, people begged for multiplayer and... They made Don't Starve Together and now look at that garbage. The only saving grace is that you can host your own server, game is still total shit.

>>212316706
I've never even heard of that game, and I doubt people care about indie slop

>>212316871
Ok retard.

play any good games today /int/?
