[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.

Pirate might've actually helped a lot more than he hindered. I signed mostly to spite people like him.

Pewdiepie's support might have helped too.

@quediuspayu And GamersNexus, Asmongold… there are a lot of people suddenly embracing it after Mr. Hall screwed up so hard.

Jeff Geerling put out a video on it earlier too. He has nearly a million subs, all of them massive geeks (myself included). :D

UK looks like it's going to cross the line in the next few minutes.

All it took was one of the most insufferable people on YouTube to become the enemy. I for my part am happy with that. We collectively burned his ego on the pyre and Fortuna accepted our offer.

Edit: Dude! Happy cake day!
