    If a publisher cannot be legally compelled to provide access to a product you legally purchased, it stands to reason that people will decide legal purchase holds little value.

    To the high seas, me hearties.

      The problem Stop Killing Games is targeting is the DRM for these games that require a server ran by the publisher to always be accessible when you play the game. Pirated or not, all you’ll be greeted with after said servers are shut off is at best a large majority of the game being inaccessible, and at worst a perpetual error screen.

      That isn’t really an answer here; the games targeted by this legislation are specifically those that are difficult to pirate, specifically because of forced online interactions.
