The discussion around “Stop Killing Games” is bigger than just gaming.

It’s about ownership, trust and digital consumer rights.

In a speech at the European Parliament, Thomas Geisel strongly criticized the practice of shutting down game servers after players already paid for a title — calling it a form of “digital theft.”

And honestly, I understand why this debate matters so much to gaming communities.

Players don’t just buy games.
They invest time, memories, emotions and communities into them.

One comparison from the discussion stood out to me:
A publisher also can’t enter your home years later and remove a book from your shelf.

As gaming becomes increasingly digital, questions around preservation, accessibility and long-term ownership will become even more important.

Games are no longer just products.
They are part of modern digital culture.

What do you think?
Should publishers be required to leave games in a playable state after support ends?
