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.

It's not over yet!
We still need a safety buffer to offset errors and outright fakes. Also, if we *really* wish to go above and beyond, we still need to rile up support from folks in the countries currently under threshold.

Bulgaria and Slovenia are really close, I think they're basically there. But if Luxembourg, Cyprus and Malta get with the program and surpass the threshold, I think that'd indicate the unanimous support for the campaign and universal disdain for destroying art, which is going to be harder to ignore and sweep under the carpet.
Sign now!!

WE DID IT!!!
Just a mere week ago this movement was about to fail miserably.
Seven days and one youtube drama later, you folks proceeded to completely wipe out the European petition and rip a UK petetion a new one.
This is historic. We're making history right now.
This doesn't automatically mean we've won, mind you. It just means that we're just starting to fight back. There's a long road ahead.
Also, reaching the million doesn't mean we have to stop signing. A good chunk of these signatures is going to be invalidated, because bureaucracy. This is a government petition, and they'll have to check the signatures. There's bound to be some mistakes and screwups in the validation process. We should know better than anyone that there's no kill like overkill. So any additional signatures are not just surplus - they go into fireproofing that thing.
P.S. 2 piratesoftware and the likes: die mad you salty bitch.

All 27 EU states backing the initiative would be UNPRECEDENTED, increasing the odds of it passing!

The petition website is lagging and the SKG voice chat is packed!

Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.
You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.
