Stop Killing Games Canadian Petition - Now Open For Signature

Petition E-4965 is the one that is posted to stopkillinggames.com, Ross Scott (Accursed Farms)'s campaign to end the practice of bricking games people have purchased, whenever the publisher doesn't want to support it anymore.

It is open for signing by Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents, until September 5th 2024.

Please spread the word to your Canadian friends and family who take interest in games, and please add your name to it to support this campaign to help preserve games in some form in perpetuity.

Thank you!

Slippery slope fallacy.

Car companies offering embedded upgrades as softlocked addons or subscriptions is also down that route. It's where the money's at so it will transcend industry boundaries. They will try to hide behind "digital" everything to try to escape legislation as long as possible.

Again, I can't nor do I want to force you to sign this.
