It's not going to get the signatures because the average person does not care about this. I play a lot of games and even I don't care. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Why does there need to be regulation to stop me from buying it too?
Interesting how condifently you are talking about the subject even though your comment makes it obvious you have no idea what the petition is about.
If a company says they're going to disable a video game a year after I purchase it and I won't be able to retain or repair it and I agree to those terms, can I still buy it?
No company ever sells games with the disclaimer that they might stop supporting those games at some arbitrary point in the future they sell the games with the understanding that you are purchasing a product that you will own after you give the company the required amount of money.
They are not selling you a limited term license, they are selling you a product. They should not be allowed to then change their minds after the fact without compensating the customer.
