Ubisoft recently faced tough questions regarding its commitment to game preservation during a shareholder meeting, particularly in light of the Stop Killing Games petition. This movement, which has garnered nearly 1.4 million signatures, seeks to regulate the gaming industry to prevent publishers from rendering purchased games inaccessible after support has ended. The petition was partly fueled by the backlash following the shutdown of Ubisoft’s game, The Crew, which highlighted the fragility of digital game ownership.
