  • nobody reads the terms of service, ever.

    also, no modern game companies with any relevance use a FOSS license.

    so the way i see it, gamers have two options:

    • stop playing videogames or
    • only play supertuxkart and dwarf fortress

    neither of these would happen at a scale large enough to force game studios into making their games FOSS.

    the only way i can see of making this happen is by either:

    • a series of very popular, targeted boycotts at studios, or
    • making governments regulate the industry.

    and with the second option, history has shown that only small changes have a chance of passing. effectively abolishing copyright law for software is not something the EU will ever do, no matter how many signatures a petition gets.
