[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.

Yeah but if I'm reading this correctly, only 0.14% of Portugal's total population signed the petition. If you want change to happen, you need more than half the population on your side.

These European Citizen Initiatives don't need a majority citizen vote to be considered. That would be ridiculous.

That would be 5+ million people...

You're technically not wrong, I guess.
