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.

I noticed the PS4 games took up way more hard drive space than the PS3 ones

Some PS3 games where 20-40GB each. You didn’t see the file size since the game actually ran off the disc. For a console where the average system size was 160GB is was not enough.

I would take a guess and say PS4 games took way more space than PS2 and PS1 as well.

It seems that games run more from the disc than say the PS3 hard drive.
