This petition is part of the Stopkillinggames.com campaign led by Scott Ross (Accursed Farms), to end in Australia the practice of software licensors to render purchased software completely unusable at arbitrary points in time.

This petition closes relatively soon so please get the word out to your fellow mates.

Thank you!

    It is only right that if a publisher wants to reap the immediate benefit of selling something digitally that they should then be responsible for maintaining owners access to that digital content. If they don’t want to maintain it, release it on physical medium with offline play and eat that cost. No worthwhile product ships for free.

      @Dangdoggo @Rentlar Or allow it to be downloaded in a DRM-free file format that can be used with other apps, platforms, or services…

      Also , if connecting a server is an absolute necessity and you are not longer going to maintain it, release the server source code as open source.

        Universal compatibility is too much to ask of anyone imo but I agree that DRM free would be the absolute best possible solution. But compromise seems a necessity
