  • There’s an ongoing movement to legislate video game studios to provide offline modes or community server support for games that require online connections, so that games don’t become permanently unplayable when support for them ends. In the EU you can get citizen petitions in front of lawmakers with enough signatures.

    Pirate Software is some ghoul who opposes the movement because he’s illiterate and thinks it means that studios must keep servers online forever even if zero players exist. He has a large audience and while opposing the petition caused a Streisand effect that got way more eyes on it, ensuring it got enough signatures before its deadline.
