The Stop Kill Games campaign has achieved great success in uniting players (and this time, including consumers) against some game publishers - not only stopping support services for the games that players have purchased, but also completely banning players from playing them in the future.

The main trigger of this storm was that Ubisoft removed "The Cool Car God" and began to promote "The Cool Car God 2", but in fact, such incidents have lasted for many years, such as the "FIFA" and "Madden Rugby" series.However, these series of games usually just shut down the server and still have some content to play.Of course, it is not realistic to expect publishers to maintain online game operations forever - after all, there are cost issues and diminishing returns; it is not an unreasonable demand to ask publishers to inform the game of the timetable for future disposal in advance.

游戏发行商停服决策问题将于年底在英国议会展开辩论

In any case, the details of the dispute will be resolved in the British Parliament.

In the UK, if someone initiates a petition and the number of signatures exceeds 100,000, the British Parliament will force the debate process to be initiated.

The petition called "Prohibit publishers from permanently disabling video games sold" ended in July this year, with nearly 200,000 signatures collected.Emails sent today show that the British Parliament will debate the issue on November 3, 2025.

However, the situation may not be optimistic - as early as February this year, the British government's preliminary response made it clear:

"There is currently no plan to amend the relevant provisions of the UK Consumer Law regarding game deactivation. Game sellers must comply with existing provisions in the Consumer Law, and we will continue to pay attention to this issue." Nevertheless, at least it has been advanced to the stage where MPs can be lobbying before the debate, at least to give them an idea of ​​what is happening right now.
