UK Government Rejects Petition to Mandate Support for Older Video Games

The Stop Killing Games campaign's call for legal protections fails to secure government backing despite surpassing 23,000 signatures.

  • The UK government states no legal requirement exists for companies to support outdated games.
  • Stop Killing Games campaign aimed to prevent games from becoming unplayable after online support ends.
  • The petition reached over 23,000 signatures but needs 100,000 for parliamentary debate.
  • Consumer law requires clear information on game longevity but does not mandate indefinite support.
  • Campaign organizers are exploring legal options and have initiated similar petitions in other countries.
