I love the wealth of updates without context.
If no one will leave one intro sentence, I don't need to go look it up.
here is the one sentence summery: It's a European citizens initiative aiming to ensure legal access to video games you've purchased, even after official support has ended.
So currently, when support for various games end, that's it, you can't play them anymore. This practice is not just limited to online games, but has infected offline games too.
It's basically as if Renault sold you a car as a regular full price car,, and on the day they stopped making spare parts, they broke in, stole your car, and scrapped it.
