[EU] 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.

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.

Yesterday, someone also linked the first finnish mainstream news-article in the Sopuli matrix chat.

Any other examples of SKG finally breaking out of the anglosphere?

ORF (Austrian National Broadcasting Company) made a news article about the movement and petition last year in August:
