Tom is Eurogamer's Editor-in-Chief. He writes lots of news, some of the puns and makes sure we put the accent on Pokémon. Tom joined Eurogamer in 2010 following a stint running a Nintendo fansite, and still owns two GameCubes. He also still plays Pokémon Go every day.

"It's a little bit hard to work out without knowing the altitude of that dragon..."has prompted the launch of a concerted effort to mount political and legal challenges to the increasingly common occurence of games you've bought becoming unplayable.initiative is the work of YouTuber Ross Scott, better known for his work running the Accursed Farms channel.

Logging on to the Stop Killing Games website gives you options based on your global location for how to take action. Here in the UK, there's a link to sign a petition on the UK government website - which at 100,000 signatures will mean the issue is considered for discussion in Parliament. Similar options exist in other countries.

As Ubisoft is French, and headquarted in Paris, the aim here is to get the country's authorities to act on the issue, as the company only informed players it would shut down the decade-old title in December last year. Owners are encouraged to say that"Ubisoft has forced the game to stop working, no one can ever use it again" and"has done this purposefully... as a form of planned obsolescence". The hope is that the DGCCRF will help to"protect buyers against having products destroyed by the company that sold them".
