The campaign to stop companies from killing games.

I think they're more likely to reserve bans for something like mentions or imitations of the Standoff of '89.

"Fuck China" would probably just be interpreted in its other definition and get you targeted ads. These regimes can be insidious in their control schemes.

I'm not going to lie, if I was a Chinese spy, I would absolutely troll my American counterpart by flooding my internet suggestions with Chinese porn for zero reason, just for typing "fuck China".

If you live in the EU, I thought I'd share this. This could be a massive win for everybody.

UK petition is up again!

Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold

The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have already sold without recourse for customers to retain or repair them. We seek this as a statutory consumer right.

Yeah well, we had to lol. The other one got cancelled (as well as all other active UK petitions at the time) due to the upcoming British election. But now that's over we had to open a new one. I don't know if it'll have as much traction as the last one though.

Only one way to find out. I just hope people make enough noise about the petition's existence.

The UK petition has received a response, unfortunately it doesn't answer the petition, and is mostly copy-pasted from the previous response. The same response that, might I add, the Petitions Committee found unsatisfactory, and asked for a better response (which we didn't get due to the election canceling active petitions).

Ross had made a statement on the matter.

Let's focus on continuing to sign, hopefully we can skip this department and directly reach parliament about the matter.
