[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.

Watch us hit 500 before the deadline.
Finnish gamers go brrrrrr
Yeah I hear it's cold out there, that makes sense
It must be nice to live in a country where it's possible to get the government to legislate for the benefit of the people, not just corporations. The US should try democracy sometime.
Well that changed rapidly. Well done, and keep it up! :)
Somebody should probably be looking at finding any kind of local gaming or gaming adjacent influencers in Luxembourg, Cyprus and Malta, who is ideally either a native resident or has lived there long enough to speak at least one of the local languages fluently.
EDIT: Or possibly I am a silly billy, and its not that literally every EU member state has to hit its own threshold.
Fantastic!
Since most of Europe is above 100%, how is the total number of petitions at 98%? How does that work?
7 Countries need to meet the 100% threshold for the petition to be valid which has already happened. We didn't have enough signatures 25 minutes ago for it to be 1m.
Oh, I thought every single country had to, which seemed very harsh.
The threshold per country is different from the total threshold.
