[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.

Malta, Cyrprus and Luxembourg must be under a rock. None of those countries have passed their threshold.

Keep in mind the base minimum threshold is 4230 per country smaller than a certain size.

So currently as a percentage of total population, more Maltans have signed than Germans, despite them not passing the threshold yet. I wouldn't consider them uninformed.

It's okay, they're all just busy

Malta is currently occupied with tax fraud, Cyprus with Greeks and Turks infighting and Luxembourgh by Germans
