I’m assuming now that the Post Office is under criminal investigation for fraud, the mutual assistance act between UK and Australia might be used to compel her instead? Especially considering Vennels pointed the blame at her.
Assuming, of course, that the investigators deem her an important cog in the scandal too.
Using a password manager would avoid this. Everyone should ideally use unique passwords per service, that way a single account can’t compromise the others.
The loss of personal data however is fricking annoying. If a company has no legitimate reason, I avoid signing up to them.
Whilst I agree in the spirit of the petition, the wording isn’t great.
Server infrastructure has significant opex costs to run & maintain - it’s impractical to demand publishers to keep them alive, especially if the running cost far exceeds the player demand & potential revenues. What happens if that publisher goes bust? What happens if a significant security vulnerability is found?
Might be better to have legislation for software publishers (not just games) to both plan & implement a sunsetting strategies when they intend to retire software.
Eg. If the online component was just performing license checks, make software publishers remove the DRM. If it’s to host a DLC store, release all DLC items for free & remove the store. If its for multi-player mechanics, release both the client & server software as limited open-source license so the community can maintain those assets going forward.

It was definitely love/hate playing GOTG, it frustrated me to no end. The gameplay was so bad in places I couldn’t complete various sections without referencing player guides.
But I was compelled to complete it because of how well the story was told. I did enjoyed it, but I’m never going to replay it again, which is a shame.
