Soft in all the wrong places. Take with a strong tea.
Summary
The European Commission has responded to the 'Stop Killing Games' initiative by stating it will seek dialogue with stakeholders, but has determined there is no legal basis for legislation that would require companies to preserve commercially discontinued video games. This outcome is unlikely to satisfy the initiative's organizers who were pushing for regulatory action.
