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.

Ross, in his video with GamersNexus mentioned that games nowadays have expiration dates. I think that's a great way of framing the issue and making it clear to gamers what should change.

Unfortunately, I do not have a good idea how to present the problem of "Games today have expiration dates" to people in a succinct manner. My image editing skills aren't good, so spamming various communities in different images to make them aware of the issue won't really work. Does anybody have ideas?
