MODERATORS
In my opinion, where this “movement” failed was in the messaging.
“Stop Killing Games” is a great slogan written by a young person without much experience.
No company or government will pass a law that says, “you must indefinitely support every game you ever release”. Now, I understand that this isn’t what the group was calling for, but this is the message that comes across. Because of that, it immediately loses support from anyone in any type of software industry and likely many other industries as we know it isn’t realistic.
The movement is two months in to a year-long campaign, and that's just the EU. Ross Scott's also likely pushing 40, if I had to guess. The clearest messaging of what they're asking for is to prevent remote disabling of games, which is right in the petition.
