🗳️ STOP KILLING GAMES: EU PETITION NEARS 1M SIGNATURES

Gamers unite to save their digital libraries — and history

It started as a whisper, now it’s a roar.

The Stop Killing Games campaign just hit 941,750 signatures and is racing toward 1 million before the July 31 deadline. This isn't just gamer griping—it's a global Citizens' Initiative petition to the EU, demanding that games remain playable long after servers shut down.

🌐 WHY THIS MATTERS

When publishers shut online servers, many beloved titles become dead on arrival—zombies in a digital graveyard. People shell out hundreds, sometimes thousands, on games they can’t preserve. The petition argues: What you bought should remain playable—no matter what.

They want legislation requiring companies to guarantee offline functionality after discontinuation—think films, books, and music: they don’t vanish when the label quits.

🎮 INDUSTRY & GAMER PUSHBACK

• Championed by creators 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 it—console, PC, even mobile.

The fight is no longer niche—it’s mainstream.

🛡️ WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR YOU

1. Long-term access to your games, even once servers are down.

2. Pre-order protection—no more empty promises when a game dies early.

3. Cultural preservation, ensuring future generations can still experience gaming history.

Imagine a Spotify—but for games you already own.

🎤 SLICK’S TAKE

I’ve lost entire game libraries—dead servers, dead communities, dead dreams.This petition isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a demand for respect, legacy, and accountability from publishers.

If we hit that 1 million mark, developers can’t ignore it. And if the EU acts? We could be on the brink of a preservation revolution in gaming.

It’s not just activism. It’s survival.And I’ll be right here, cheering every signature.
