Personally, I hate unskippable cutscenes, but I won’t call it crap and not buy from it.

Still, the effects benefits the consumer, so I would consider this a good thing.

Also, I wonder if we can do the same to other companies and let them revert course.

Oh. Steam tried to rip gamers off so hard that they removed forced arbitration clauses and class action waivers from their terms of service.

Steam is a monopoly no doubt, but it’s not a result of major anti-competitive behavior, but simply because others can’t match it.

But the outcome is good for me at least and I’m satisfied.

Until they ditch the “live service” model, this will continues. How many big title games today are really sold in a complete no BS state where DLC actually means extra contents? No much I guess.

That stems from the revenue model, and not by gamers.

Depends. Like Satisfactory, I’m extremely satisfied by their pace of development.

If that 50% refund is infaltion adjusted, I’m totally fine.

And must be announced like advertising to reach maximum players, not some blog post or press release that no one reads.

There’s one issuse: Not everybody has the capacity to interpret the lengthy legal document. While being reasonable, when was your last time sit down and have a good read of the EULA and other related documents? These documents are designed to be difficult to read, and often intertwined with legal concepts that most don’t understand. That’s why lawyers exist.

Then the next question is: should a product a consumer bought (not lease) be completely dysfunctional after a undefined period of time? Is the petition asking for the servers operate indefinitely regardless of revenue? No. The petition is asking to not make the game completely unusable after a server shut down because of an always online DRM or something alike. The online part can go away and we can all enjoy the offline campaign like 10 years down the road. I don’t think this is a request unreasonable to make.

Your interpretation of such action’s legality is valid, but legal is just the minimum bar of ethical, and seems like there is a need to raise the bar.

Consumers do have protection currently, just a very publisher biased protection in terms of games.
