The European Pirate Party endorses the ‘Stop Destroying Videogames’ European Citizens’ Initiative as the first European political party to do so


The European Pirate Party endorses the ‘Stop Destroying Videogames’ European Citizens’ Initiative as the first European political party to do so, and calls on everyone to sign and support it! Stop Destroying Videogames seeks to require publishers that sell or license video games to consumers in the European Union to leave them in a playable state. Today publishers are shutting down and disabling games when it suits them, relying on obscure paragraphs in the licensing agreements people are made to accept when they purchase the product.
