As an ardent supporter of consumer rights and an avid gamer, I have personally felt the blow of purchasing a video game only to have it become unplayable as soon as the support ends. This issue is personal to me, as it is to countless other gamers worldwide. This practice mirrors an increasing trend within the video game industry, where games are sold as goods but designed to not function when support ceases. This is not just an assault on consumer rights, but also threatens the preservation of game media, both of which, in essence, should concern us all. Despite the rising occurrences, many governments are yet to establish clear laws that address these actions, leaving the legality untested globally. However, Steam, a major player in the industry, with a proven history of protecting its customers can make a difference. We urge them to champion the cause against unplayable video games following the end of support. By doing so, Steam is not only protecting its consumers but also setting an example for others in the industry to follow. Your signature can push Steam to take the needed action. Don’t let our games disappear! Sign the petition today.
