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.

      This comes off as racist.

      I know what you were going for but please try not to use names people actually have as if their names are just jokes.

        You pretty much know that I had no racist intention. If I had racist intention, that would be bad, yes. There are too many people who go against other people on the basis of race, it is ironic that a person who is not racist has a comment pointed out as racist. I confirm, I do not have any racist belief. Kindly take your concern to those who really use concepts such as ‘race’ to talk about concepts like ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’, or any other form of statement saying any particular person is bad because of something which wad not done by them—no act of harm intentionally caused.

        That said, I shall delete the comment which uses the name of the main character of the game series ‘Shadow Warrior’. Specifically, “It is (character name), sir. (First name) is (last name)”.
