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.

Most games on steam arent DRM, so nothing stops you from backing up all your games.

Also for ones that use Steam DRM it can be simulated. It's a stretch to call it hard DRM and I wish more people would mention this aspect.

Not having tens of thousands to spend on storage is a bit of a blocker in my case.

Just get a used LTO6 tape drive. You can get 6TB (compressed) cartridges for like $15 each on ebay.
