Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Yeah, this is a case of a company being misleading about its offline mode and what that means. Like the article says, it's supposed to be a one-time activation check. Not a requirement to play the game, they were supposed to have learned this lesson with Assassin Creed 2's DRM.

This should open up some trouble for misleading customers.
