An expert has warned that the Stop Killing Games campaign may struggle to secure legal change, despite concerns that publishers can make purchased online games unusable by shutting down their servers. The issue matters because it raises questions about whether consumers truly own digital games or merely receive temporary access under terms set by companies.

The campaign argues that games should remain playable in some form after official support ends, while critics note that consumer-rights protections already exist but are not always effectively enforced. The expert’s view is that proving a breach and achieving meaningful action against publishers could be difficult, even if players believe their rights have been undermined.
