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 framing the narrative as if online only access games are the only way to go. All they have to do is make it so that people can keep an offline single player version of it forever, problem solved.
Of course, then they would lose control. The simple fact is, they only have control if people choose to consume their media. I choose not to, many others will stop as well.
Indie developers, crush them.
