It’s more about maintaining infrastructure than ownership. If you buy a game on Steam and Valve can later delete it from your library it’s about ownership. If a company shuts down the central server and the product stops working it’s more about planned obsolescence. The same issue affects many IoT devices, not just video games, and I think protecting those is more important as it affect more consumers and generates e-waste.
But I know stop killing games just gets a lot of coverage on lemmy because there are a lot of gamers here. I’m sure people also write petitions and talk in EP about more important topics like climate change and human rights.

We can do many things! If this gets passed, then maybe you can run on a “stop killing IoT devices” platform and get that done - referring to the game decision that’s already a law.
