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. Those national thresholds have been thresholds have been reached. Now it’s all about getting to 1 million signatures total.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

      This is looking like it’s going far better than “tax the rich”, which failed.

      People have their priorities backwards.

        It’s because “stop killing games” is easy to grasp and normal people don’t see a disadvantage for themselves.

        “Tax the rich” goes against obscenely rich people, but your average Joe is concerned that he might have to pay higher taxes too. And even when it’s not now, what if he has a secret terminally ill billionaire uncle.

    Compared to the other 11 months, the initiative is going VERY fast now. There is a chance we might catch up!

    There is also a possible upcoming video by PewDiePie, that will surely bring more people.

        He’s gone full FOSS.

        He switched to linux a while ago, and went down the rabbit hole from there. His most recent video is about self hosting Nextcloud and Vaultwarden in order to ditch google services.

        He’s legitimately transitioned into a fosstuber.

        Did he do anything wrong in the first place? I haven’t followed him in a while. Besides the bridge incident of course…

          Well there’s his racist and anti-semetic remarks in the past, as well as having followed far right mouthpieces on twitter. The worst though was an apology video for anti-semitic remarks where he chose to wear a hoody featuring prominent iron crosses.

          Something about getting some indians on fiverr to erite some shit on a sign if I remember correctly. It’s not like he has not apologised for it and all that. He has not done anything controversial in years.
