Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally 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.

Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.

You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.

Maybe organising watch parties for them would be great to show how many people care about "Stop Killing Games"

Pewdiepie & Elon Musk support SKG (lemmy.zip)

The signing ups are skyrocketing and I may have found two culprits.

First: a public endorsement by Pewdiepie in a YouTube Community post https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/esports/news/sign-the-petition-pewdiepie-backs-controversial-stop-killing-games-movement-as-petition-nears-deadline/articleshow/122200591.cms
Second, Elon Musk (yes, sigh) retweeted a post about Pewdiepie endorsing SKG.

This all happened in the last 24h it seems and the SKG campaign has skyrocketed even more since then, check it out here:

Exciting to see the progress though I would have preferred to not have this "personality" be associated with the goal of the initiative...

Edit: updated Twitter link to privacy respecting frontend.
