I don't play AAA games, but if I were you I would simply not buy games from big corps who have a long and notorious history of shutting down games. Don't complain about bad business practice when you're rewarding it.
The point of this campaign is not that it's trying to stop a "bad business practice". There's a strong possibility that this is illegal in many countries. Just because America is a hellscape of terrible consumer protection rights doesn't mean people in other countries don't deserve the products they paid for.
I know that, but the title and body text of this post implies a different subject, which is what I was responding to.
