欧洲游戏玩家发起“停止扼杀游戏”运动,力求保护数字购买权益

Ubisoft 关闭《The Crew》引发了欧洲一项公民请愿,旨在防止类似的多人游戏关闭事件再次发生。本文将深入探讨这项请愿以及他们为保护数字购买权益而进行的斗争。

“停止扼杀游戏”请愿:百万签名目标,一年期限

越来越多的欧洲游戏玩家正在支持一项旨在保护数字购买权益的公民倡议。“停止扼杀游戏”请愿呼吁欧盟颁布法律,防止游戏发行商在停止游戏支持后将其变为不可玩状态。

活动组织者之一Ross Scott 对该倡议的通过充满信心,他指出,“这项倡议与其他消费者政策相符”。拟议的法律仅在欧洲范围内强制执行。然而,Scott 表达了希望,在如此重要的市场中通过立法,将鼓励全球范围内出现类似趋势,无论是通过法律授权还是行业标准。

然而,将这项倡议变为法律将是一项艰巨的任务。该活动必须遵循“欧洲公民倡议”流程,需要在欧洲不同国家收集一百万个签名,才能获得足够的认可并提交立法提案。资格要求很简单:申请人必须是具有投票权的欧洲公民,投票年龄因国家而异。

该请愿于8月初启动,目前已收集到183,593个签名。虽然距离目标还有很长的路要走,但幸运的是,该活动有一整年的时间来实现这一目标。

该倡议计划追究发行商关闭服务器的责任

2014年发行的在线赛车游戏《The Crew》成为这一问题的焦点,因为Ubisoft在今年3月突然终止了其在线服务。此举实际上抹去了1200万玩家在游戏上的投资。

残酷的现实是,当仅限在线游戏的服务器关闭时,无数小时的投入将永远消失。尽管2024年才过半,但《SYNCED》和NEXON的《Warhaven》等游戏已被宣布关闭,玩家们对自己的购买没有任何补偿。

“这是一种计划报废,”Ross Scott 在他的YouTube视频中说道。“发行商正在摧毁他们已经卖给你的游戏,却留着你的钱。”他将此与无声电影时代相提并论,当时制片厂在“放映结束后烧掉自己的电影以回收银含量”。正因为如此,“那个时代的大部分电影都永远消失了。”

据Scott介绍,他们只会要求开发者和发行商在“游戏关闭时保持游戏处于可运行状态”。事实上,该倡议声明,拟议的法律将规定“在欧盟销售或许可视频游戏给消费者的发行商(或与他们运营的视频游戏相关的已售出的功能和资产)必须使所述视频游戏保持功能(可玩)状态。”实现这一目标的具体方法由发行商决定。

该倡议甚至打算追究包含微交易的免费游戏责任。Scott 解释说:“如果你购买了微交易作为一种商品,然后游戏变得无法玩,那么你就失去了你的商品。”

这种情况以前也发生过。例如,《Knockout City》在2023年6月关闭,但随后作为一款具有私服支持的免费独立游戏发行。所有物品和饰品现在都可以免费获得,玩家甚至可以创建和托管自己的服务器。

尽管如此,该倡议也有一些事情不会要求发行商去做:

⚫️ 不要求发行商放弃知识产权 ⚫️ 不要求发行商放弃源代码 ⚫️ 不要求无限期支持 ⚫️ 不要求发行商托管服务器 ⚫️ 不要求发行商承担客户行为的责任

要支持这项活动,请访问“停止扼杀游戏”网站并签署请愿书。但是请注意,每人只能签署一次。如果你不小心犯了错误,你的签名将无效。值得庆幸的是,他们的网站提供了针对各个国家的说明,以帮助防止这种情况发生。

Ross Scott 在视频中强调,即使你不是来自欧洲,你仍然可以通过传播这项倡议的信息来提供帮助。最终,他们的目标是创造“对电子游戏行业的连锁反应,以防止发行商破坏更多游戏”。
