This is your somewhat regularly scheduled Stop Killing Games update.
Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
Germany has hit the threshold sometime yesterday evening. France has also started to catch up. They are still below 50% but there growth over the last couple of days has been the biggest. Netherlands and Denmark are still in the low 90s.
The milestone comes on the eve of this years Gamescom in Cologne, Germany which is set to kick off today. SKG is not going to have an official presence there. (I’ve checked with the organisers) But if you are attending and want to help spread the word I’m happy to share official marketing material, either in the form of flyers or the files for flyers, so you can print your own. They come in both German and English. If you want some, send me a DM.

Love the momentum of this initiative, hopefully it reaches success!
FYI, there’s also the Tax the rich initiative available, which is ending in October this year.
Personally i’m a bit sad that video games get more traction than fixing wealth inequalities.
We gotta spread the word. It still seems very achievable if enough people become aware of it.
Which one ? Saving video game ? Sure, tax-the-rich have less than a month, less votes than this petition.
It’s honestly infuriating. It’s gamers being entitled children and acting like it’s saving the world from greedy corporations. Meanwhile the “save the world from greedy corporations” initiative is dead in the water.
How is wanting to continue playing a game after developers stop supporting it entitled?
It’s simple, I see a stop killing games post and I upvote.
I can’t sign but still will upvote babyyyy. Can’t thank the EU enough for all their strict rules. Even brought type-c to iPhone.
You might not be able to sign this one, but depending on where in the world you live you might still be able to help. The official website has guides for a lot of countries. And if you live somewhere where you truly can’t help (cough USA cough), then thank you never the less
Same, our great American freedom™️ means that we have very reasonable career politicians working on fixing this nonsense already we don’t spend enough money on lobbyists in order to matter enough to then have any iota of actual representation in the formation of our government’s laws and policies.
Thanks for the update! I didn’t know this initiative was an actual thing for the EU. I signed both this and the Tax The Rich initiative mentioned by someone else in the comments. Hope it helps!
This is going faster than I expected tbh. Gotta check whether the vote history is available so I can make some “fancy” graphs about the rate of votes/day.
