The UK government has again responded to a petition demanding it change the law to prevent developers and publishers from taking games that have already been sold offline, reiterating its position of no, it won't do that.
Less than a year ago, the UK government responded to a petition by the Stop Killing Games campaign, demanding it change the rules on digital obsolescence to stop developers disabling games that had already been sold. At the time, the government said there was no requirement in UK law for game developers to support old software. But the petition was closed early due to the general election.
