[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.

What? That is an insane climb in signers, it was 700k just yesterday, right?
Amazing :D
Last I can firmly put my finger on was just short of 750K last night when I was going to bed. It looks like about 110 - 120 signings per minute at the moment, give or take.
At time of writing this post is 43 minutes old and it's up around 5000 signatures.
edit: The UK one is just about to cross 90%. Only 90 signatures to go. They are flying in. It has a nice realtime counter whereas the EU one needs a refresh.
edit2: UK just crossed 90%. They will complete some time this evening at the current rate.

Oh that's cool. The graphs show a massive ramp up in the last few days and it's accelerating.
Yup.
I think we'll hit 100k signatures in one day today.
And if that pace continues tomorrow, we'll hit 1 million within 48 hours.
Let's hope there isn't a huge number of fake ones
