๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ EU Commission's response on Stop Killing Games

The @EUCommission has "answered" to the @StopKillingGames European Citizen's Initiative. And wow, it's just a bunch of nothing!

Their response : https://link.europa.eu/r3XhyM

- No laws are going to be added
- They will be "Communicating with the industry", in order to initiate a "Code of conduct" for killing games. Since it's not a law it's not legally binding
- They want to "raise awareness" when already 1 million people signed this, but being aware of the problem won't fix it
- They claim they can't add a law because of the rightholders. The initiative only asked for games already sold to keep working, if the rights expire they can just stop selling it!

And yet, on their social media, they post a "Game not over" image...

I mean, it's better than nothing, but not by much!

The next hope is to put this in the #digitalfairnessact , hopefully it goes through!
