The European Commission may need to create new laws to preserve discontinued online games following a successful citizens' petition called Stop Killing Games, which gathered over one million signatures. The petition argues that discontinuing games robs customers of their purchases and undermines consumer rights. Organizers Aleksej Vjalicin and Daniel Ondruska are pushing for video game companies to develop 'end-of-life' plans for games before shutting down servers. The petition highlights the unique nature of video games and the creative loss incurred when they are discontinued.
