Movement Fights to Keep Video Games Playable After Publishers Shut Them Down

A movement called Stop Killing Games is lobbying for legal protections to prevent publishers from shutting down online video games. The group advocates for "end-of-life plans" to keep games playable, proposing that companies allow players to operate private servers. While the European Commission cannot mandate this due to copyright laws, it will work on a code of conduct. In the US, California's "Protect Our Games" act, which requires advance notice before takedown and access for purchased games, has passed the Assembly.

DAZN Soccer's pricing display: Legal issues and consumer protection

DAZN Soccer's pricing display, emphasizing a "monthly fee of 980 yen" while obscuring the non-cancellable annual plan, may violate Japan's Premiums and Representations Act and the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions. While DAZN has apologized for a specific period of misrepresentation, consumers may have grounds to cancel contracts made during that time. Dark patterns, though not directly regulated in Japan, are addressed through existing consumer protection laws.

Oil Prices Surge Past $126 as India Balances Consumer Relief vs OMC Losses

Indian state-run oil marketing companies are facing mounting losses and seeking permission to raise fuel prices, while the government hesitates due to inflation concerns and election-linked price freezes. Diesel prices have risen 119% and petrol 69% since February, with LPG up over 40%.

Disney, Warner Brothers Discovery & others to EU: Upcoming act should target Big Tech

Major European media companies are urging EU officials to reconsider a new law. They fear the Digital Fairness Act, aimed at online consumer protection, could unintentionally damage their businesses. The companies argue that existing regulations already cover their operations. They want the focus to be on large tech firms where responsibility gaps exist, not on established media sectors.

UK Government to Decouple Electricity Prices from Gas in Consumer Protection Push

The UK government will announce plans to weaken the link between electricity and volatile gas prices, encouraging older renewable energy generators to move to fixed-price contracts. The change, expected within a year, aims to protect consumers from energy shocks when gas prices spike. Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will make statements on Tuesday, with the plans subject to consultation.
