Ross Scott Starts His Anti-Game Shutdown Petition in the EU August 1, 2024

For a few weeks now, YouTube Legend Ross Scott has been working as a one-man advocate for all gamers worldwide. We’ve seen just over the past few years alone that more game developers have started releasing games that are entirely reliant on their central servers. They say it’s to make the games “better” but we know this is a complete lie. Just over the past decades, I have many full retail game boxes I paid money for I am no longer able to install or run just because the game’s publishers did not want to continue to operate an essential server-side component they intentionally put in the game.

Ross’s goal has been to either force governments to pass laws or courts to create legal precedents that prevent game companies from releasing any video games in a state where it could be shut down, even if the game was not a rental or sold as a subscription service.

Recently he has begun a major petition drive in the EU he believes can force major change. He’s included the details about it in the video below.

If you’re in the EU, you can check out the petition on StopKillingGames. If you aren’t, feel free to spread the word about the petition!
