Update on Stop Killing Games: Ross Scott responds to the EU setback.
The European Commission said it does not plan to introduce new laws requiring game publishers to keep games playable after support ends. Instead, it pointed to existing consumer protection laws.
> Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott said the response was mostly expected and told supporters not to lose hope. He argued that relying on existing laws creates uncertainty, as there is still no clear answer on publishers’ legal obligations when shutting down games.
> Scott said the campaign still has other options, including pushing for changes through the upcoming Digital Fairness Act, and that the initiative has strong support in the European Parliament.
> According to Scott, the European Commission is currently the biggest obstacle, but he stressed the campaign is far from over and urged supporters to focus on the next steps.
