Stop killing games
The Issue
I've been a passionate gamer for as long as I can remember, and I've cherished every moment spent in the virtual worlds that have brought me joy and countless hours of entertainment. However, I'm increasingly frustrated with gaming companies that have been making decisions to take away our games, often erasing our progress and memories within them. I'm speaking up because I’m tired and heartbroken over something I feel so strongly about and cannot ignore any longer.
Many gaming companies have been shutting down servers, removing games from online stores, or implementing strict digital rights management (DRM) that prevents us from truly owning our games. When this happens, we lose access to the content we've paid for and invested our time in. This practice is not just unfair—it's a betrayal of the trust we've placed in these corporations.
Consider this: in a 2022 survey conducted by Ampere Analysis, it was found that 54% of gamers in the United States have lost access to games they once purchased due to discontinuation or DRM policies. That's millions of us who have experienced this loss, and it’s a number that’s alarming.
I want to assure a future where gamers like me can own their games and enjoy them without the ever-present fear of losing access. This means advocating for gaming companies to reconsider their distribution models and prioritize giving players fair ownership.
One actionable solution could be establishing a legal framework where digital game purchases guarantee perpetual access to the content. Such legislation can protect us, the consumers, and ensure that gaming companies respect our rights.
I call upon President trump and legislative bodies to introduce and support measures that will safeguard our rights as consumers and gamers. This is a cause worth fighting for, ensuring that we preserve this significant part of our culture and lives.
