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.

This is just for fun, but it looks like 1M will be reached if the last week is anything to go by (over 40K signatures in the last 12 hours so if anything it's speeding up).

So....Place you time and date below. Winner gets bragging rights!

edit: Don't forget to add a timezone to your guess

The graph shows the amount of change each day.

Yesterday, the number of signees increased by 69k. This was higher than the peak we saw back at the start, of 62k.

Today, we are already at 14k at 8am. Way more than yesterday. I think were about to beat the all-time peak two days in a row.

Please keep signing so we can push for our games to be left in a playable state with a end of life plan after publisher support ends.

Ross, in his video with GamersNexus mentioned that games nowadays have expiration dates. I think that's a great way of framing the issue and making it clear to gamers what should change.

Unfortunately, I do not have a good idea how to present the problem of "Games today have expiration dates" to people in a succinct manner. My image editing skills aren't good, so spamming various communities in different images to make them aware of the issue won't really work. Does anybody have ideas?
