The consumer movement to stop game publishers from disabling older games with kill switches after official support ends.

Looking good! From a gamer who started out on Atari, game preservation is a cause worth pushing for. Hope the EU can get this passed since there is little hope of it being supported in the states without your example.

I gotta say, I had a very similar reaction to zorro to this post popping up in my general doomscrolling of Lemmy. Just EU country names with % numbers. Top comment being pretty much what I was thinking. My only context was the community name to let me know that this is something I am interested in. Oh, and unlike zorro I went to see what the sidebar says...
