Game preservation IS video games!

"Stop Unaliving 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.

you forgot to mention the most important part
what publishers are doing is illegal.
they are lying about the products they are selling, pretending they are goods but treating them as services or vice versa
they are taking away what we purchased in a blatant disregard of consumer rights
they are writing user agreements that blatantly go against EU law

even if this campaign fails to reach the eu parliament, sooner rather than rather a court will straight up destroy those practices (ubislop is already being investigated)
