[EU/UK] Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
