This is exactly why our petition matters.
Recent announcements have shown that the future of game ownership is at risk. More companies are moving toward an all-digital future, giving consumers fewer rights and less control over the games they purchase.
A clear example is Sony. The company has announced plans to shut down the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. Once these stores close, players will no longer be able to purchase new digital games or content for those platforms. Even if previously purchased downloads remain available for some time, this is another reminder that digital storefronts are entirely controlled by the company that operates them. When a store closes, consumers lose options, and over time more games risk becoming inaccessible.
At the same time, Sony's decision to end physical PlayStation game releases has sparked widespread criticism. Developers, publishers, retailers, preservation advocates, and gamers have all voiced concerns about what this means for ownership, preservation, consumer choice, and the future of gaming. Some organizations are even pursuing legal action, arguing that these changes could undermine consumer rights and fair competition.
This is no longer just a discussion among collectors. Even voices from within the gaming industry are warning about the long-term consequences of abandoning physical media and relying entirely on digital distribution... That is why we cannot stop now!
Every signature strengthens our message. Every share helps educate more people about what is happening before it becomes the new normal.
Please continue sharing this petition with your friends, family, gaming communities, and across social media. Explain why game ownership matters. Explain why preservation matters. Explain why consumers deserve the right to keep the games they pay for.
History has shown that public pressure can make a difference. When enough people speak up, companies and policymakers listen.
