It started as a whisper, now itās a roar.
The Stop Killing GamesĀ campaign just hit 941,750 signaturesĀ and is racing toward 1 million before the July 31 deadline. This isn't just gamer gripingāit's a global Citizens' Initiative petition to the EU, demanding that games remain playable long after servers shut down.
š WHY THIS MATTERS
When publishers shut online servers, many beloved titles become dead on arrivalāzombies in a digital graveyard. People shell out hundreds, sometimes thousands, on games they canāt preserve. The petition argues: What you bought should remain playableāno matter what.
They want legislation requiring companies to guarantee offline functionality after discontinuationāthink films, books, and music: they donāt vanish when the label quits.
š® INDUSTRY & GAMER PUSHBACK
Championed by creatorsĀ like Ross Scott (Accursed Farms), the campaign blends grassroots noise with heavy-hitting voices.
Media coverage is exploding, and even UK Parliament is watching.
Gamers across platforms are backing itāconsole, PC, even mobile.
The fight is no longer nicheāitās mainstream.
š”ļø WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR YOU
Long-term accessĀ to your games, even once servers are down.
Pre-order protectionāno more empty promises when a game dies early.
Cultural preservation, ensuring future generations can still experience gaming history.
Imagine a Spotifyābut for games you already own.
š¤ SLICKāS TAKE
Iāve lost entire game librariesādead servers, dead communities, dead dreams.This petition isnāt just nostalgiaāitās a demand for respect, legacy, and accountabilityĀ from publishers.
If we hit that 1 million mark, developers canāt ignore it. And if the EU acts? We could be on the brink of a preservation revolution in gaming.
Itās not just activism. Itās survival.And Iāll be right here, cheering every signature.
