My second paragraph is mostly solved by the first paragraph. If every game lives forever, guaranteed by law, then I hardly have to care, but mostly I was stressing that there's not even a free market solution to this problem. The point of this campaign is to give us these rights, because it's truly stupid that we've gotten away without having them. Perhaps with the right legal challenge in the right country, it will be seen to already violate some consumer protection law currently on the books. That's one of the things we're hoping for, and this campaign is our best shot. I'd strongly encourage you to follow whatever steps on the web site you're able to based on where you live and/or whether or not you own a copy of The Crew.
