Not only games. Goes for all electronics as well.

Sick of supporting your ‘old phones’? You’re required by law to disclose all binary blobs as source code to let somebody else pick it up the slack.

Feeling like bricking old Kindles? Fine, but users must be able to install alternative OS on your old device.

Not providing software updates for your TV anymore after you removed features? That’s your right, but so is the right of the effing device owner to install something else on it.

And it’s not just consumer electronics. (caugh John Deere caugh).

No, it’s an international thing to complain about the US nowadays. 🙂

I would abolish mandatory updates altogether. Supprort it as long as you want.

However, once you stop support, you are required to unlock everything, release all manuals, materials and source code so that 3rd party providers can pick up support if they want to.
