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. Denmark has just hit their threshold becoming the fifth country to do so. Earlier this week the initiative also reached 1/3 of the required 1 million votes.

All of this happened in only just over one month since the initiative started accepting signatures showing a remarkable momentum. So let’s keep the momentum going. If you haven’t already signed and are a citizen of the EU (even one abroad) consider signing the initiative.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

PS: Hi LTT crew. I’m honoured to be your source when reporting on the initiative. But maybe consider also citing the primary sources. The link “Sign the initiative here” leads directly to the page of the European Commission, which has even more up to date numbers than my screenshot.

    Yay!

    Things are going well.

    Hoping to see France meet the milestone since that’s where the focus of the campaign was.

    I wish I could sign from the UK.

        Didn’t they have one already when the Tories were like “nah let the free market decide”

          Yes there was one but the Tories didn’t have anything to do with it closing, at least not directly. If an election happens all open petitions are closed as a matter of process, because “it’s a new parliament”. And then you need to resubmit.

            Also, the petitions committee told the Tories that their response was bullshit and they needed to give a proper one. But that doesn’t really matter because of the whole new government thing.
