Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Ireland has just passed its threshold, becoming the seventh country to do so.
Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

In case you’re wondering, the graph looks like this. There have currently been 16k new signatures today. The required pace to make it would be 10k a day. Yesterday the count increased by about 30k signatures.
TL;DR Keep spreading this to people you know, and keep signing. It’s working.

Until last week I thought it was done, but somehow it flipped around. Things are looking pretty good, with massive youtubers and streamers taöking about it.
I’m glad the ball is rolling again. This can change gaming and set a precedent for other things as well.

Hopefully this will translate to all software. Next step: Stop killing hardware

It flipped around because the founder of the movement, Ross, of AccursedFarms on youtube… released a video giving a status report…
And spending a good deal of the video explaining how Thor, PirateSoftware on youtube… has basically been making up bullshit and spreading nonsense for about SKG for months now.
After that video… basically every single AngloSphere Gamer Youtuber has been putting out videos spreading the SKG messsge, and dogpiling on Thor for being a confused narcissist.

You guys need to make your bots a little less obvious

I… What?
Botting something that like a citizens initiative, where every signature WILL get scrutinized by government would be seriously stupid. Or are you saying commenters like mine are bots?
Is it really that hard for you to imagine the possibility… that people care?

I swear to God, some people these days will cry bot if someone so much as blinks unexpectedly. Chill.

you need an digital ID to sign, so bots wouldn’t help.
