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.

Steam issues refunds within 2 hours.
Make Ubisoft bleed money until they stop opposing Stop Killing Games.
The fact that people are still stupid enough to buy anything from Ubishit and then act surprised that they lied about certain features is fucking embarrassing.
Right, let's blame the victims here...
Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me eight or more times; shame on me.
Yes.
Correct.
Unless you are literally a child, you should have been able to figure this out by now.
What are you a 'victim' of?
... False Marketing?
Sure, yeah, that's bad. But at some point, you have to be able to realize that the lying liars who lie, are, most likely, lying again.
How things should be != How things are.
You live in the latter. If you wanna change that, good! But the thinking alone doesn't make it so.
The victims... Of the company that keeps doing the same thing over and over, and have for some time now, we'll before the current game they're "victims" of was even announced...
If only the leopard hadn't eaten their face.
I blame anyone keeping this company alive
Yeah, this is a case of a company being misleading about its offline mode and what that means. Like the article says, it's supposed to be a one-time activation check. Not a requirement to play the game, they were supposed to have learned this lesson with Assassin Creed 2's DRM.
This should open up some trouble for misleading customers.
pathetic
Looool I cant believe Ubi is stil like this.
