TL;DW:
- Patrick Breyer and Niklas Nienaß submitted questions to the European Commission on the topic of killing games (the latter in contact with Ross and two EU based lawyers).
- EU won't commit to answering whether games are goods or services.
- EULA are probably unfair due to imbalance of rights and obligations between the parties.
- Such terminations should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis (preferably by countries rather than EU).
- Existing laws don't seem to cover this issue.
- Campaign in France seems to be gaining some traction. Case went to "the highest level where most commercial disputes submitted to DGCCRF never go".
- UK petition was suppose to get a revised response after the initial one was found lacking. Due to upcoming elections all petitions were closed and it might have to be resubmitted.
- Also in UK, there's a plan to report games killed in the last few years to the Competition and Markets Authority starting in August (CMA will get some additional power by then apparently).
- No real news from Germany, Canada or Brazil.
- Australian petition is over and waiting for a reply. Ross also hired a law firm to represent the issue.
