It's amazing what a difference a little bit of time can make: Two years after kicking off what looked to be a long-shot campaign to push back on the practice of shutting down server-dependent videogames once they're no longer profitable, Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner appeared in front of the European Parliament to present their case—and it seemed to go very well.

The initiative was very clear that there is no expectation of support from the developers after support has ended. There was nothing vague about it except for the disinformation PirateSoftware was putting out.

    Hamstrung by being vague? Vague is EXACTLY what you want for these types of things, theres less specificity to get hung up on and reject, while the general idea can be expanded upon and legislated in detail once they agree with the core concept. Please dont listen to that pirate guy, he's terminally brain damaged.
