Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally 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.

Let's not congratulate too early. It's better to get a few more thousand signatures. Some signatures are sure to be invalidated for whatever reason.

We know for a fact some 4channers have added bogus signatures, so a few thousand may not be enough. Keep asking real people to sign.

Good job everyone! And to remember that 3 weeks ago we weren't even halfway...

We still want to call for more to buffer against unverifiable signatures, but even the fact we made it to 1M is a noteworthy achievement.
