Stop Killing Games has opened a European Citizens' Initiative proposing new law that would make game publishers have to leave games in a playable state when they stop supporting them. (www.stopkillinggames.com)

This comes after a sea of games have been lost due to the creators turning off the servers. While community remake projects like RELB for Lawbreakers, Loadout Reloaded and a server emulator for The Crew exist, they're miles behind where we'd be if publishers just released a way to host our own servers before killing their creations. They need more signatures from European citizens and then the proposal goes to a board who decide what to do with it.

This isn't about games being buggy, it's about live service games where when the servers are shut down the game literally cannot be played. If an indie dev is making a live service game they've just made a poor decision in the first place
