Stop Killing Games fails to secure EU law despite 1.3M signatures - Dexerto

▤ Summary

The European Commission rejected a campaign demand to require publishers to keep discontinued games playable. Instead, it plans to discuss an industry code of conduct with game companies and consumer groups by the end of 2026. The proposed code may increase storefront transparency and support preservation partnerships, but it will not force offline patches or private server tools. The issue still matters for publishers because it keeps end-of-life game support, consumer disclosure, and shutdown practices under regulatory scrutiny.
