If you like video games: This is important.

Hello!

First of all, I apologize for the clickbait title, but I believe this is a very important topic in our community. As we all know, BattleForge was shut down by EA in late 2013. While we were fortunate that dedicated people worked countless hours to bring it back, many other games are not as lucky. This is why Ross Scott started the "Stop Killing Games" campaign.

Here’s a quick summary taken from their website:

Quote

An increasing number of video games are sold as goods, but are designed to become completely unplayable for everyone as soon as support ends. The legality of this practice is untested worldwide, and many governments do not have clear laws regarding these actions. Our goal is to have authorities examine this behavior and hopefully end it, as it is an assault on both consumer rights and the preservation of media.

If you are interested in taking action, feel free to learn more at https://www.stopkillinggames.com/. Currently, there is an EU initiative (https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home) running until July 31, 2025. You must be a European citizen and meet the age requirements). It only takes 5 minutes to participate, and your voice can make a real impact!

While you're at it, do share this with your friends and spread the word. Thank you!
