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.
