>>102182931>>102184293This isn't exactly what the initiative is about. It's essentially asking for existing consumer protection laws to be applied to games. If you buy a car and Ford decides three years later that they want to remote detonate it so you can never drive it again, Ford would get torn to shreds in EU courts. Yet, games are not held to this standard. You can buy a game and three years later the developer decides that that you retroactively never actually bought it, so they're taking it from you.
>b-but it's in the EULA!!!Yes, the EULA is illegal and is cannot be enforced. Furthermore, you cannot even see the EULA until after you have purchased the game, which means the game itself was sold to you without any contract. To use a car analogy again, if you bought a car without signing any contract then once you got home it displayed on the dash that you were actually renting it, no court would uphold such a contract.
