[EU/UK] Stop Killing Games:
The consumer movement to stop game publishers from 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.

UK Final Day 14/7/2025
We appreciate the passion of our community; however, the decision to discontinue online services is multi-faceted, never taken lightly and must be an option for companies when an online experience is no longer commercially viable. We understand that it can be disappointing for players but, when it d...
We’re so close to making gaming history!
The petition website is lagging and the SKG voice chat is packed!
Number of signatures for the ECI has passed 1.1M!
Still important to track how much of a buffer we can get before the end of the month.

We're doing this, man! We're making this happen!
@skg We're doing this, man! We're making this happen!
It's not over yet!
It's not over yet!
We still need a safety buffer to offset errors and outright fakes. Also, if we really wish to go above and beyond, we still need to rile up support from folks in the countries currently under threshold.

Bulgaria and Slovenia are really close, I think they're basically there. But if Luxembourg, Cyprus and Malta get with the program and surpass the threshold, I think that'd indicate the unanimous support for the campaign and universal disdain for destroying art, which is going to be harder to ignore and sweep under the carpet.
Sign now!!

ECI website is overloaded as we're only a few thousand signatures away
Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.
You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.
WE DID IT!!!
WE DID IT!!!
Just a mere week ago this movement was about to fail miserably.
Seven days and one youtube drama later, you folks proceeded to completely wipe out the European petition and rip a UK petetion a new one.
This is historic. We're making history right now.
This doesn't automatically mean we've won, mind you. It just means that we're just starting to fight back. There's a long road ahead.
Also, reaching the million doesn't mean we have to stop signing. A good chunk of these signatures is going to be invalidated, because bureaucracy. This is a government petition, and they'll have to check the signatures. There's bound to be some mistakes and screwups in the validation process. We should know better than anyone that there's no kill like overkill. So any additional signatures are not just surplus - they go into fireproofing that thing.
P.S. 2 piratesoftware and the likes: die mad you salty bitch.
