The rights of gamers, the responsibilities of game companies, and the available avenues for seeking assistance and support in the event of issues such as lack of updates, cheating, or inadequate player protection measures.



If the game developers still do not take any action despite your efforts to reach out and express your concerns, you may have to consider the following options:

1)Evaluate Your Time and Investment: Assess the time and resources you have invested in the game. Consider whether continuing to invest your time and money is still worth it, especially if the game is no longer providing the experience or updates you desire.

2)Find a New Game: Explore other gaming options that align with your interests and preferences. Look for games that offer similar gameplay experiences and actively receive updates and support from their developers.

3)Provide Public Feedback: Consider leaving public feedback on review platforms or social media channels to share your experiences and concerns with other players. Your feedback can help other players make informed decisions about whether to invest their time and resources in the game.

4)Request Refunds (if applicable): If you have recently made any in-game purchases or subscriptions and the lack of updates has impacted your gameplay experience, you may consider reaching out to the game's customer support to inquire about potential refunds.

5)Community Initiatives: Work with other concerned players to create a unified voice or petition requesting updates or improvements. A collective effort from the community might draw the attention of the developers and prompt them to take action.

Players may also demand a more active stance from the company in addressing issues related to cheating, exploitation, and unfair gameplay.

If the lack of updates and support continues to be an ongoing issue, it might be necessary to consider moving on to other games that offer a more engaging and supported gaming experience.

Under the EU's consumer protection framework, consumers have certain rights when they purchase goods or services, including digital products such as online games. These rights often include guarantees related to product quality, information transparency, and protection against unfair commercial practices.
