I love Ross pushing for this but it's hard to believe we will ever see any results. Hopefully he is right and we see so some kind of success in Europe.
Infinity Blade only got ressurected this week and Opera Omnium shuts down this month.

From what I got in this latest video, the EU and Australia angle seems very promising, with many roads to possible success (for any EU or Australian people reading this, you can help in a big way!)
Anything in the US is dead in the water though.
If a big enough market combats this we all win, remember, we only have steam refunds because Australia sued valve; but when only Belgium banned lootboxes EA just blocked it over there and moved on.
I don't expect anything will come out this but I really appreciate Ross trying to give it an honest shot. I can't help since I don't own the game but I can at least cheer from the sidelines an lend my power for a spirit bomb.
Go Ross Go!
After seeing the USA part of the video I understand why Cyberpunk always happens over there, what are those lack of rights holy shit, "it can't be fraud because you had no right to your game to begin with".
It's like the law is some insane reality where you are a criminal for utilizing software after support was closed down, but in real life the game is effectively yours if it's a single player. Also "the gaming sphere is very unique on it's abuse of the lack of consumer protections", I hope this industry rots to the bone, but I'll still try to contact my national consumer protection agency in Brazil, Ubisoft is particularly big over here so maybe something can be done.
