In a new video, Scott admitted that he did not expect the invitation and doubted whether he should participate. However, he is ready to speak on April 16 before legislators and the industry.
As far as I understand, we already have the support of the majority in parliament, but this will strengthen it even more. It seems the initiative wants me to speak there. I don't know exactly how much. There will be lawyers and developers there, so I'm unlikely to have to talk about anything too specialized.
He added that he knows the problem and the arguments of the opponents well:
I understand the problem perfectly and have probably heard all possible arguments why companies should be allowed to destroy games you paid for. I can refute this all day.
Scott also did not rule out a press conference on the same day. The campaign has already collected more than 1.3 million signatures in the EU and has received widespread support.
The relevance of the topic is growing: Anthem and other projects have already been closed. At the same time, Ubisoft is facing lawsuits in France due to the closure of The Crew in 2024. The company insists that players do not own the games they purchased.
