Don't you hate it when that game you used to play, vanishes from your library? Or what if you download it, but it doesn't work anymore because it's a single-player with an online only DRM. Or you're waiting for the DENUVO crack, but it never comes and the games goes EOL and forgotten? Well, turns out someone had enough and decided to start a campaign for it. If you pay for media, you may want this. If you like it free, someone needs to crack first it, and that doesn't always happen. So you may want this too.

Spread the message. If you're European, seriously consider voting. We don't own digital movies, and if we don't put a stop to this, more games will follow. Make the pirate party proud.

Hey folks, just sharing the message. I believe it's related to piracy as it frequently comes into contact with the preservation of media. As whatever is DRM Free and capable of working offline, is effectively able to last indefinitely.

If you're European and eligible, please consider.

Cheers

Yo, is anyone else having issues with the Initiative not showing up on the website?

Oh ho... No, you're not the only one I'm afraid. It was fine until a couple hours ago, the newest comments confirm it so. Not sure what's going on.

Hopefully Ross figures it out and it goes back up soon. Thanks for the interest!

EDIT: It's back up.
