Wait until some blizzard empoyee comes out and tells how it is expensive for publisher to not pay for hosting.

Maybe in developing countries, but in developed world(Europe mostly) it isn't.

This is why boycott doesn't work. They copy each other. So, grab pitchforks and torches(EU citizens only).

ECI does not specify method of compliance, so source code is not guaranteed. They might as well just slap address bar and comply.

You deceived consumers, Ubisoft.

~~Ubisoft is being fucked on consumer protection grounds, not on false advertisement. It doesn't matter what they said on box, they broke the law.~~

EDIT: fuck, this is USSA lawsuit. I thought it was French(and EU in general) one.

EU cutizens can sign European Citizens' Initiative that aims to prevent publishers using killswitches to permanently disable games. If it gets 1M signatures, it will be discussed in European Comission.

Europe has a 'real opportunity' to take in Americans fleeing Trump. Is it ready for a 'brain drain'? in c/europe@feddit.org
