In 2023 alone we saw nearly a dozen games like Call of Duty: Warzone , Knockout City , Spellbreak , Gundam Evolution , and more meet the same grim fate as the lights went off for good.

There's no legal recourse when a game you paid for gets shut down.

One way to combat the killing of games is to propose a new law in the European Union .

If passed, the law would require "publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers" to leave said videogames in a functional state.
