Considering how this Labour government are, even if they’re probably not going to anything about it, I’m just glad that they didn’t misinterpret “Stop Killing Games” and decide to ban all “violent video games”
Don’t you even fucking think about it, Starmer! I’ve waited over a decade to play GTA 6, and I’ve only got a year to wait!
What the fuck is this petition even about? I keep seeing people posting about it on other subs I have no idea what it is
Ok, this is not what I expected.
Not about secret squid games or fox hunting, or even a stop to the production of violent video games.
Simply, just gamers who want to play their video games without worry developers will withdraw support or shut down online platforms.
UK petitions are pointless, the website only exists to make people think they can do something and the government always shrugs them off, and when they do get debated in parliament rarely does anyone turn up.
The EU one at least has some weight in that the commission is legally required to look into it and discuss it with the submitters.
I think this is a bad idea because i worked at blizzard.
Imagine purchasing a bluray with some online content that is optional on it but five years later you can no longer watch that bluray because it can’t communicate with a server that no longer exists. It’s a silly example but essentially this is what is happening with games.
Again, whilst this is still likely to result in the Gov coming back with a similar answer as what was already given (which was pretty shit) this gets it on record. Then you pair up with the current success of the EU campaign and how well that one is doing. There’s some hope this can lead to something happening in the future.
Be it a case of it becoming EU law and the UK deciding to follow suit like it does for a lot of these kinds of laws that will transcend borders anyway. Or a case of the EU law changing and most devs just implement the changes globally anyway.
Yeah that is what really need, MP’s who are utterly clueless about the subject making stupid decisions….
Thankfully they will spend 30 seconds on it and all will be forgotten.
Tbh, these petitions are useless. But I do think the UK should mirror and work together with the EU to fix this issue. Those who are actually passionate about this topic should write to their MP and tell them so
It’s already been thrown out, since under current laws it would be too difficult to implement.
This isn’t a parliament thing, the consumer controls the market. If you stop buying it, then they’ll stop doing it.

god fuck I don’t trust parliament for a single second to give even one reasonable take on video games
