Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Dude. I play BAR. It's literally open source spin off of a popular video game. It updates itself. It has been running for like over a decade. It is like the iron manning of this model.

Abd it works! Its great! No problems! You act like corpos cant brick your shit with mandatory updates, which may or may not run on pure vibes. Do you remember the past two years?

yes and I searched duck-duck-go for BAR game rts and got shit results. thankfully someone provided a link. Perhaps if you'd specified BAR Beyond All Reason I may have found it while walking and typing lol, but yeah, you described what it was but din't really make it easy to find.

have a great day.
