Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
Only two days ago Denmark passed its respective threshold (I reported) and just last night the Netherlands joined the club. Both countries did so after two weeks of virtually no movement in their numbers.
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. The Netherlands is the 6th country to pass the threshold. So who will be the 7th? Currently it looks like Ireland (69%) followed by Belgium (66%), France (64%) and Austria (62%). But as Poland has shown, things can change quickly.
All that has happened already, happened in only just over one month since the initiative started accepting signatures showing a remarkable momentum. So let’s keep the momentum going. If you haven’t already signed and are a citizen of the EU (even one abroad) consider signing the initiative.
Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

PS: Hi LTT crew. I’m honoured to be your source when reporting on the initiative. But maybe consider also citing the primary sources. The link “Sign the initiative here” leads directly to the page of the European Commission, which has even more up to date numbers than my screenshot.
Nice !
Heeh?? First time hearing about this initiative… Why wasn’t this more widespread on Lemmy?

Ouch… Haven’t seen it in my feed though. :/ I sometimes browse all, but never seen that petition in my feed…
Really strange :/
Are you subscribed to here or !europe@feddit.org ?
Neither ! But I though more people would be aware and would cross-post it on every game related community (maybe even the Piracy community). So I was quit surprised to hear it for the first time.
I mostly get all my news from Lemmy and rarely peek into all, to much negativity and one stance political opinions…
You just missed it and like you many did for sure. Please share in your circles as well!

Has anybody mentioned this on their discord or twitch channel? I feel like mentioning it there could get it past the 1M threshold pretty quickly. There must be more than 1M gamers in all of Europe.

I haven’t been able to find that map anymore, I am curious how it’s going

Progress has slowed considerably. We’re currently at 380 K. The UK petition should re-open soon-ish as the portal has started accepting initiatives again. i hope that this creates a new batch headlines which should also translate into attention for the EU campaign.
Eyy, thank you!!!
Terrible choice of name for the initiative. It sounds like a campaign to end Roman bloodsports.
That’d be “Stop the killing games”. Kinda like the hunger games did
