Enable offline mode. That’s the very least they can do. These game, like how EA famously claim that it’s not possible for SimCity to run in offline mode and then soon release an offline mode, should be playable offline.
Enable private server/p2p multiplayer. This would make sure playing with friends is still possible after the server went down.
What u attempt to accomplish? Maintaining games also takes time and effort and server costs and they likely kill them to save costs.
There is no way this petition is gonna do anything

When games put DRM in them that requires a server
And I buy that game
And then they take away that server
I want my money back
Or for them to patch the game so it works
It’s not fucking hard to figure out
then don’t make single player games (or sections of games) require a server.
Its okay to stop running the servers. All gamers want is to have the stuff it takes to continue to enjoy the game after the companies are done.
It might get the EU to make a law.
At best we get fresh new EULA’s to click through on our way to play our game.
I’ve signed a lot of petitions over the years, and I’d sign this one too, but it’s pretty naive to think this will actually do anything useful.
you can’t sign away consumer rights in a EULA… they might try and out them in there, but if it were law then they wouldn’t be able to enforce it
This is not just a random petition, it has legal force to compel the EU to officially hear the issue.
