Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Ireland has just passed its threshold, becoming the seventh country to do so.
Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.
FAQ
I'm not from the EU, is there anything I can do to help?
A UK petition is (as far as I know) still in the works. The initiative is also in the process of starting a possible lawsuit against Ubisoft in Brazil. If you are Brazilian and own a copy of The Crew please contact the organisers. All information can be found on the official website
I have already signed. Is there anything else I can do?
In short: Keep talking about the initiative. We have come so far with next to no marketing. And if you want to do even more, the official website has flyers to download. Our ground game is relatively weak at the moment. Feel free to have some flyers printed and then hand them out.
Any other European Peoples Initiatives worth supporting?
Here is a initiative that aims to ban conversion therapy. Here is one that aims to ensure safe and legal access to abortions for all who need it.

These dual requirements feel a little wonky, wow
Can get to the 7 countries minimum with less than half of the other requirement met? Feels like the total signatures number shouldn’t be more than double the smallest possible 7 countries minimums combined
All minimums taken together only sum up to 497025. The million signatures is the actual hurdle, any campaign that is not horribly lopsided should easily get the seven countries.
The idea is that if your initiative is excessively national it has no business being a EU initiative.
A strange wibble is that small countries need more signatures per capita to count towards the minimum because they have more MEPs per capita. Which brings me to putain de merde où es-tu France.
