  Do you have sources for your claim that it wont go anywhere?

    The UK officially responded, meanwhile on their website they have this:

    • EU Results: A dead end, there was no consistency from the various offices and was likely a redundant measure towards contacting the DGCCRF -Germany Results: Said they won’t act, but we should go through the ACCC to resolve this.
    • Canada results: A dead end, it said the provinces will have to deal with the issue instead, which are likely too small to impact the industry.
    • US results: No response, but this was expected.
    • Brazil results: Failed due to us requiring sales figures on “The Crew” in order to proceed, which we weren’t able to obtain.

    The fact is they want to modify copyright laws to allow for the preservation of media, the amount of corporate backlash is absolutely massive and I wouldn’t be surprised if shadowy forces are ensuring this doesn’t go anywhere. In addition governments see absolutely no historical, educational, cultural, or historical value in video games.

      So you’re assuming based on failed attempts. Psa: there is no relation between things failing and the likelyhood of them succeeding. Many things have failed many times and then succeeded.

        Im saying theres a reason why they keep failing. Corporate interests would never allow for it to succeed.
