Stop Killing Games is a 2024 consumer movement and initiative started by Ross Scott with the goal of preserving video games after they are taken offline. The initiative was started after the shutdown of The Crew, a racing game that required a constant internet connection despite being mostly single-player. The initiative quickly gathered popularity, being covered by various YouTubers and news outlets. The movement has launched multiple government petitions.
