European Commission response to Stop Killing Games petition
Monday 27th July, 2026
The European Commission will publish its official response to a citizens’ petition called ‘Stop Destroying Videogames’, which asks for rules forcing publishers to keep purchased games playable after online support ends. This gives Lego a chance to comment on digital longevity and consumer rights around playable content—especially relevant across the EU and UK where Lego’s digital and app-based products intersect with physical play and ongoing software support.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment: Lego sells digital/app-linked products and can credibly comment on digital longevity, consumer rights and how physical play can preserve play value; this supports both proactive stories about product design for longevity and reactive expert comment on the Commission response.
