Ubisoft has pissed off many players by removing access to The Crew, and this has prompted a first step in forming a law to prevent this situation – The Crew

Ubisoft’s situation with The Crew continues to get complicated. At the end of March, the French developer closed the servers of this driving game despite many complaints from the community, which demanded an offline mode to continue enjoying their experience. And, after turning a deaf ear to this request, the creators of Assassin’s Creed went further withdrawing the access license to the title from all players; something that was stipulated in the Terms and Conditions of the purchase. For this reason, it has been formed an initiative known as Stop Killing Games to request the formation of laws that prevent this type of situation. And, it seems, the movement is advancing so much in United Kingdom like in Australia.

A few days ago, we told you that the formal petition from Stop Killing Games had reached the British Parliament with 5,000 signatures; an insufficient amount to carry out the request. However, the architect of the movement, the youtuber Accursed Farms, now announces in a new video that The required 10,000 signatures have been obtained and, therefore, the initiative could continue in the English entity. Which, without a doubt, is good news for a large part of the gaming community.

The Stop Killing Games movement reaches the doors of the Australian Parliament

And the progress of Stop Killing Games does not end here, as a similar initiative has also been revealed for the Parliament of Australia. As read in the official website of the government organizationusers are calling for legislation that “requires software sold in Australia is maintained in a functional state after the product support period ends, so that it continues to operate without the intervention of the distributor.” In addition, it is expected that these requirements will be imposed above the EULAs (End-User License Agreementthe end user license agreement), since “many of these licenses attempt to strip customers of ownership rights over the purchased products.”

In the case of the Australian application, players have until May 20 to sign the document showing their support for the cause. And this is only part of the first phase of the movement; If thousands of signatures are gathered as in the British initiative, the Australian government will have to answer. This does not guarantee a positive response, of course, but it is still a way for higher-ups to pay attention to the problem.
