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. Now both of those goals have been reached. But that’s no reason to stop signing! Some signatures will get thrown out in the validation phase because the signee made a mistake. So keep signing and show the world just how many people are in favour of saving videogames.

    Gotta keep going. Not all signatures are going to be legit, so a reasonable buffer needs to be in place.

      All of them will be legit, you cannot sign without a valid EU ID, unless I missed something when I signed.

      Edit: Guess I’m wrong and not every country checks the data validity during signing like my country does.

    This is an incredible turnaround after it seemed like the initiative was stalling just a few weeks ago. Keep those signatures rolling if you can! As others mentioned, there is still a value in new signatures because some will be invalidated. Let’s finally get a win for media preservation, eh?
