[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.

Remember to keep going past 100k in case any signatures don't pass validation. Great job everyone

Don't open the site unless you're doing so in order to sign. Use third party trackers if you want to check the number, the EU servers are struggling right now.

It won't give you any information right now as the API is down as well but that's the pace to check once the EU gets their servers up and running again

They haven't really gone down, they've just become very slow to respond.

Improving now that we're past a million.
