@npub16xn…g7f8 @npub1nun…mlhy Hi, I'm in France and I've ordered a Lenovo laptop with a pre-installed Windows licence (I couldn't get this model without the Windows license on their website). I've tried to call customer support to get it refunded but they refused.
Can I get some help? I'm not sure what to do next.
Should I translate and send the refund form on https://en.refund4freedom.org/refund/ straight away or should I try something else first?

Hi Fedi! :ablobfoxbongohyper:
Have you ever thought "We should prohibit publishers from irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold" ?
You're in luck!
The UK petition for it is open for signatures!
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/702074/
For the EU, here's your reminder that the ECI petition is still open: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
You might as well do your yearly round of signing petitions while you're at it. They all last for a year and most are about subjects that are even more important than video-games: https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/find-initiative_en?CATEGORY%5B0%5D=any&STATUS%5B0%5D=ONGOING&SECTION=ALL
For everywhere else, or just more details, there's always the website: https://www.stopkillinggames.com
And the latest Ross Scott video about the UK petition: https://youtu.be/NQnZ91mUB0E

Hi Fedi!
Do you enjoy having your video game copy that you bought not being remotely destroyed forever by its publisher (aka online-only game being shut down)?
Do you live in the EU?
The "Stop Destroying Videogames" European Citizen Initiative is now open for signatures!
Just follow this link to the ECI's website : https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en#
Like all initiatives, 1 million signatures are needed within a year.
You might as well take the time to check all the other ongoing initiatives while you're there, if you haven't already done so this year.
Also check out https://www.stopkillinggames.com if you want to take more actions for this issue, especially if you own a copy of The Crew.

Hey Fedi!
Are you tired of the game industry selling you online-only games, only to shut them down after you bought them?
If you live in the UK, Canada or Australia, you can take action right now, by voting on government petitions!
Just go to https://www.stopkillinggames.com and follow the instructions.
Also check out the website if you happen to own a copy of The Crew specifically. Depending on your country, you may have other actions you could take, to pressure Ubisoft into patching the game to make it work offline.
If you would like to know more, you can also check out the latest Ross Scott video, wherein he also talks about some existing UK consumer laws that might force publishers to display the "expiration date" for online-only games prior to purchase : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVGZe-xXS68

Ubisoft just shut down the servers for The Crew. If you want to stop companies from destroying the games you bought and own, go to https://www.stopkillinggames.com and follow the instructions there. This time, there are actions that can be taken by anyone in the EU or US, so check it out, even if you don't own the game.

Si vous êtes français·se et que vous avez acheté The Crew, je vous rappel que votre jeu deviendra impossible à jouer suite à la fermeture des serveurs le 31 Mars.
Je vous invite donc à regarder cette vidéo de Ross Scott et de suivre les instructions pour envoyer un recommandé à Ubisoft afin de pouvoir faire appel à un médiateur plus tard : https://youtu.be/DAD5iMe0Xj4?t=867
Ross Scott s'engage même à rembourser le coût de la lettre recommandée si vous le voulez.
J'ai aussi attaché les instructions à ce post, avec alt-text. Et je vous donne aussi le lien cliquable pour envoyer un recommandé par La Poste : https://www.laposte.fr/envoi-courrier-en-ligne/creer-lettre/Irel
N'hésitez pas à booster! :BoostOK:
