Volt Europa @VoltEuropa@mstdn.social · Jul 30, 2026

Buying a game should not mean purchasing a temporary license that can be revoked any moment. Sony's planned phase-out of physical discs threatens consumer ownership and second-hand markets. When servers close down, paid-for media should not simply vanish. Volt stands with players against digital rug-pulls. We are pushing for robust game preservation rules in the upcoming EU Digital Fairness Act. https://volteuropa.org/news/volt-europa-rallies-players-to-fight-sonys-2028-physical-phase-out #StopKillingGames @StopKillingGames@mastodon.social #Volt #ConsumerRights #EUpol #Gaming

Big win! #StopKillingGames and #StopKillingInternet signed a letter against the UK govt blocking VPNs, and we SUCCEEDED! We're proud to stand with @mozilla@mastodon.social @protonprivacy@mastodon.social , Reporters Without Borders, @amnesty@mastox.eu and major VPNs! We held our first major SKI partner meetup, with experts from around the world (see attached) This builds on the letter we signed back in May against the Online Safety Act, to keep from making end-of-life plans for games far more difficult. https://www.reddit.com/r/StopKillingGames/comments/1uyhsoq/stop_killing_games_together_with_amnesty/

I'll lower my torch and pitchfork for the time being. The #StopKillingGames initiative hit that 1 million signature mark. At this point, all I can say is keep pushing to clean out invalid signatures and lets make history. I'll slow down on these updates now, as I assume ya'll are sick of them by now. This has been on my mind for the past 15 years though. I'm glad we're going to actually get a conversation at the highest level of government.

Ich glaube, #China hat gerade so ziemlich allen westlichen Videospielpublishern so richtig mies den Tag versaut. Das dürfte wohl auch #StopKillingGames wieder in fahrt bringen.

Sony verabschiedet sich ab 2028 von neuen PlayStation-Discs. Passender könnte Roxys neuer Beitrag kaum erscheinen. Ist Digital-only wirklich Fortschritt? Oder geben wir gerade stillschweigend Besitz, Sammelkultur und Spielegeschichte auf? 👉 https://videospielgeschichten.de/das-ende-der-retail-aera/ #Gaming #PlayStation #PhysicalMedia #Videospiele #StopKillingGames

PlayStation discs will soon be gone!

Wtf #sony ?

The #playstation account announced in a blog post that they will stop making game discs altogether. http://play.st/4v86Wg3

This means :

No buying second hand. Once the game is not sold anymore nobody can buy it
Can not bring the game to someone's house and play together, now you need to log into your account
Sony can, for any or no reason remove a game from your library
If you paid extra for a PS5 with a disc drive, too bad, you can't use the drive you paid extra for with games beyond 2028!
Overall, a very slippery slope for ownership.

lmao, the ESA (Entertainment Software Association, some USA capitalist bloodsucker circlejerk) has some beautifully backwards ideas about software ownership, hosting, etc. supposedly minecraft servers aren't legal, books weren't meant to be owned, and a "lifetime" is about 5 years. https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Entertainment_Software_Association_testimony_on_AB_1921 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Y9Wzp-wwg I don't know what drugs these people are on but it seems really bad for your ability to reason and verify information #StopKillingGames

So wie die "AAA" #Spieleindustrie momentan agiert, kickt sie sich nur selbst ins Aus. Sie sorgt selbst dafür, dass #Indie und #OpenSource den #Gaming Markt übernehmen. #StopKillingGames #ProtectOurGamesAct #ESA (Nein, nicht diese ESA)

You heard it here first, people. The ESA declared Minecraft and Call of Duty private servers illegal in today's hearing on the POG Act. Corporate tactics of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, it seems. Read more about the progress of the POG Act and our ongoing recruitment here. Please join us if you feel you can help!
