Yesterday, the UK Parliament conducted a small debate on an e-petition that had been raised by concerned constituents about consumer law and videogames. In layman's terms, it was all about how frustrating it is when players don't have ownership over their games and get left hung out to dry by big studios, unceremoniously ending support for live service games.
"I come to the debate not only as a member of Parliament, but also as a lifelong gamer," Ben Goldsborough MP says during the e-petition debate. "The videogame industry itself contributes £7.6 billion to the UK economy and supports over 75,000 jobs. We are home to world-leading studios, cutting-edge research, and some of the most talented and creative minds anywhere on earth. We should value this industry not only for its economic output but as a cultural powerhouse that shapes stories, art, music, and technology."
