The 'Stop Killing Videogames' EU petition sits at 427k signatures out of 1m. The deadline to sign is 2025-07-31! If it is passed, game publishers will be forced to leave games in an playable state.

If this is passed, the EU parlament will be forced to look into it and debate about it.
No conclusions are guaranteed, but it would make sense that EU recognises this as an illegal practice and passes some regulation to prevent it.
