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.

Note that SKG won’t be retroactive. Only new games will require an end of support plan. Already dead games will remain dead.

That's true however I mean this meme as a sidequest for gamers to do after the killings stop. It's a lot easier to clean up the mess when the root of the problem is addressed.
