I just received this email saying that the response "did not respond directly to the request of the petition"

You recently signed the petition “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state”: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/659071

The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response.

When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you.

Thanks, The Petitions team UK Government and Parliament

Being vague about the requirement leaves more options for game companies to find various solutions to comply. It's quite accommodating.

Totally agree. You always leave yourself room to negotiate down.

Imagine not supporting this because you think it's unfair to the industry, given the very specific examples that have been given.
