I miss lawbreakers. It was one of the first competitive games I was actually good at. That and dirty bomb which is full of bots and cheats now :(

As far as I'm aware Ross Scott is not the founder and has no official ties with SKG. His long running series 'Dead Game News' was merely the inspiration for it, and he's been a big part in promoting it.

Unfortunately, you are mistaken. Ross is indeed the founder of the initiative. If you look at the SKG homepage you'll see Ross is the sole contact listed.

Additionally, here is a PC Gamer article from April 2024 (the month The Crew's servers shut down) which cites Ross as the founder of the initiative.

I believe he may have reduced his most visible contributions to the movement after it became about gathering signatures in the EU, since he is not a citizen. I could be wrong on that front though.

Fair enough.

He has no official ties with the European Citizen's Initiative (besides "hype-man" as I recall he described it) but he is the founder of the Stop Killing Games movement, encompassing the original research effort in terms of what people could do to stop games being lost or intentionally destroyed.
