Stop Killing Games update - UK petition to see a debate in Parliament

Fingers crossed, lads!

I am glad this movement got some mainstream visibility. The discussion about digital product ownership, the right to repair etc. should be loud and ongoing.

Someone who chaired many MUN committees, I can safely say that if none of the parties/MPs/delegates willing to handle the issue but forced to debate, they will simply fill the time with overly generalised and wishful remarks. In case of MUNs, this usually happens when delegates use almost entire duration (3 days usually) of the MUN with one topic, they use remaining couple hours for the remaining topic by pretending to debate and offering no resolution due to lack of time. I expect a similar attitude from the British parliament honestly.

I'm not British but seeing what UK have done on "Internet related things" laws recently I don't hold my breath. But to be honest EU is not really doing any better... It's the same shit everywhere.

I'm glad that the movement is seeing some real strides. I know there was a lot of drama with online personalities who were detracting and stirring up messaging. It's good to see, as you said:

I'm hoping we'll see a proper adult debate on this, but I know how the UK goes with this sort of thing - but it's progress at least.

I'm sort of torn in my thinking to be honest. Though I absolutely agree with the movement (you shouldn't be allowed to brick a released product 'cause), I think if a company is done with the project, they should be allowed to release control over it. I understand that this is beyond the scope of the proposition, but I have a question?

We (you, me, Liam, etc.) all get a game jam going and we produce a product. It's like Tux but it's 3D and top-down...we release the game on Steam and it sells like a million copies. Our game is closed source and we crumble as a company because I was rude or Liam was too busy or you had that thing that just came up. Where does the source go?

If it's an online game and has an online community, we're not allowed to crumble because we would be in violation, right?I'm reading it right? Okay, will there be a system in place to kind of 'turn over the keys' or will that be up to who is left holding the companies keys? I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely curious if this is being considered?

Again, I don't think the movement should fail. I'm just curious what the next steps are. Data storage isn't free and there is some cost to someone when they have to maintain a project.

Is there a system being established that allows companies to sort of... 'put their code out to pasture' as it were? A community supported/focused GIT system that business could submit their gigabytes of source, assets, etc. (without customer info obv) of both the clients and servers?
(Such a great idea - I want credit in the aboutpage)

I'm just not quite sure how enforceable this will be and if it's more about sending a message to the bigger companies at large.

I apologize if this is covered in the documents. I've only looked at this case from a high level so I could be inventing shadows?
