[EU/UK] Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Please keep signing so we can push for our games to be left in a playable state with a end of life plan after publisher support ends.

I think it was only around 50/60% last week? Big congrats to you'all!

Reminder that the petition requires 1M signatures total across the EU to pass, so you should still sign even if your country has reached 100%.

It was at 47% before the "drama" around the campaign breathed new life into it.

The new life is like 10% of the signatures. It's still ways away.

10% in about a week. We need 40%, we have 4 weeks. If we can keep up the pace, it'll work out.
