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.

Until last week I thought it was done, but somehow it flipped around. Things are looking pretty good, with massive youtubers and streamers taöking about it.

I'm glad the ball is rolling again. This can change gaming and set a precedent for other things as well.

Hopefully this will translate to all software. Next step: Stop killing hardware

OMG yes, open source all hardware drivers within say 1-5 years of a particular model getting retired?

Now there's a dream, haha.

Publish schematics with every piece of hardware you make. Paradise for repair technicians and retro tech enthusiasts in a few decades.
