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.

The signing ups are skyrocketing and I may have found two culprits.

This all happened in the last 24h it seems and the SKG campaign has skyrocketed even more since then, check it out here:

Exciting to see the progress though I would have preferred to not have this "personality" be associated with the goal of the initiative...

I've not really seen anything abut Charlie that makes me dislike the guy.

Obviously he's achieved great success, and is financially well off. From what I can tell, he tries to do some good from that position, if with a somewhat naïve approach.

In what I've seen, he can be a little mean-spirited, but he does it with a jokey tone I forgive a lot more easily than the type of shit-talk you see from people like PirateSoftware.

Thor gets really ugly with words when the describes what he thinks of SKG.
