Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state
petition.parliament.uk
Require publishers to leave videogames (and related game assets / features) they have sold to customers in a reasonably working state when support ends, so that no further intervention whatsoever is necessary for the game to function, as a statutory consumer right.

    Releasing a standalone server, the server source code, or spec for how the server runs sonit can be reverse engineered.
    There is no financial incentive to do this, there is reputation incentive to do it. But I think it needs government regulation to make it actually happen.
    A final patch removing any online requirements (accounts, DRM etc), a standalone server and the source for it would all be amazing!
