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.

Honestly, yes. I don't know anyone else who cares about this. In my circle, I am entirely alone in my frustration. Which bodes poorly for any protests we might mount.
Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as you. Somehow nobody cares when companies steal from them, but I pick up a mantle ornament and there's suddenly a problem...
It's tripled my desire and rate of piracy, so there's that. You can only control yourself, after all. But making piracy easier for others as a backhanded dig at Sony would make your point equally well. That's where I'm at. Seed and guide your people's selfishness.
Pretty much what I'm doing too. You can't save those who are too stupid to realise their heads are being shoved under the water, so help those who have the bare minimum of neurons bouncing around to reach out for help.
