Ubisoft’s CEO fights back against Stop Killing Games initiative
(www.dexerto.com)
Stop Killing Games:
The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.
The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.
Ubisoft is the first company that comes to mind when I worry about games going offline.
I've talked about it before, but I have something like $2k sunk into Rocksmith 2014 and associated peripherals. I'm not aware of any other game like it for bass guitar, and the new service model of Rocksmith looks like AI shit.
If / when they take down the servers is going to be a very sad day for me.
