[EU] 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.

Our final total score on @skg.

Now, we wait. It's out of our hands now.

That doesn't mean, however, we have to sit on our butt!

Europeans, there's discussion on Digital Fairness Act. Throw a couple of (euro)cents in there, it's an initiative adjacent to ours, so there's a good potential for cross-pollination, where we all benefit.

That's one hell of a high score. Don't think there's enough space to put everyone's initials on the screen though...

Also just a little tidbit, the 1% subdivision of a euro is a cent, just like USD.
