Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Stop Killing Games may have a much harder fight ahead than people think. The campaign wants players to keep access to games they’ve paid for but video game policy expert Dr. Ceila Pontin says the problem is much more complicated legally. “Are consumer rights being violated? Well, they already exist to be violated.” She explains that games involve lots of different rights, so simply handing a dead game over to players isn’t as easy as it sounds. Pontin says she understands why people care about keeping games they love, but warns there is a “mismatch between what the public might be calling for and what is possible.”
