Saw people talking in comments at several places now, expressing animosity towards them to say the least, always presented as something that everyone seems to know about.

    Dunno who you’re referring to but the Stop Killing Games petition was started when Ubisoft announced that gamers would no longer be able to play The Crew, despite having bought it.

    It’s not new that online functionality is turned off after the player base dies down, but to be completely unable to play a game that can be played offline is crazy.

    So now there’s a petition circulating, but it’s nearing its end. There are only a couple of days left I think.

    It’s a petition for the EU (or maybe Europe or the EER, I’m not sure), and every country needs a certain amount of signatures. I think some Mediterranean island nations are still lagging, but most countries have plenty now.

    If you’re in Europe, find the petition and sign it. Especially if you live in Malta or Cyprus.

      That doesn’t matter at this point. The country threshold has been reached. Now it “only” needs to reach 1 million total signatures before the end of july, currently sitting at around 600k.
