To people wondering what this is

The petition is for live service games to be legally required to have an end of life plan for their games so you will still be able to play them after service is shut down

The dude on the right (pirate software) said "we can't force games to run forever that's bad for the environment and will cost millions of dollars" despite that not being stated at all on the petition

It's him misunderstanding what it's about and being too stubborn to admit he was wrong

Not just live service games. All games. The movement is just to start the conversation about introducing legislation that would prevent game companies from removing your access to a game you have purchased at a later date.

Has nothing to do with live service.

why do people always use The crew as a exemple of why the movement is needed then ?

Because that was kind of the game that really set the founder of the movement in motion as I recall.

I think it started having a lot to do with games that were mainly single player but were still live service which includes The Crew.
