Warner Bros. Games‘ MultiVersus, a recently released game, is set to discontinue its servers following its parent company’s decision of it being underperforming, similar to Concord last autumn. However, those anticipating intervention from the UK government on this matter will likely be let down.
According to Eurogamer’s report, the UK government is considering an update to its consumer laws following a request. The proposed change aims to prevent video game publishers from removing their games from service without giving their customers, who have already paid for these titles, the option to either keep playing or fix them in some way.
Essentially, in response, the UK government stated that they don’t find it necessary to tackle this matter as video game publishers are already subject to existing laws. Moreover, there are no intentions at present to alter the current laws concerning “digital obsolescence.
Previously, the UK government enacted a Consumer Rights Act aimed at ensuring all goods and services, including digital ones like video games, function as advertised. However, there are no rules compelling game developers to keep their online servers active. The government’s stance is that if software isn’t supported by its provider, this should be clearly communicated to the buyer.
Unlike Concord, players can download and update MultiVersus before May 30th to continue playing the game. After this date, they’ll only be able to play against AI or with up to three friends locally, but online multiplayer will no longer be available. Additionally, MultiVersus will be removed from all gaming platforms, making it hard to access after its deactivation date.
