Episode 60 - Stop Killing Games: When Publishers Pull the Plug on Your Progress

Ever spent hours on a game just to find out one day it’s gone? Like… gone gone. No servers, no reinstall, no refund, just poof. Welcome to the new age of gaming where digital doesn’t always mean forever.

In this episode, we’re talking about the #StopKillingGames movement and why so many players are furious about publishers shutting down games we paid for. From The Crew being bricked to Back 4 Blood getting dropped with no plan B, we’re digging into what this means for gamers and why it keeps happening.

We break down:

• What Pirate Software said that pissed off the whole internet
• Why digital ownership is basically a myth
• MoistCr1TiKaL’s clapback and how it shifted the conversation
• The growing push for game preservation and what counts as piracy now
• Real stories from the gaming graveyard

This one’s part rant, part reality check. Because when the games we love get deleted, what are we really paying for?
