[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.

Also some notes copied from Discord:
ECI had a call with EU IT. Here are the head notes:
- They are happy to support us with corrections and validate as many signatures as possible
- GOOD NEWS: signing twice does NOT invalidate both signatures. It will be counted once, so no worries for that case of error!
- EU IT will do some prechecks for bogus/fake signatures before sending to member states to confirm. There is a filtration process in place before it goes to Member states for verification, so that will help already!
- They asked of us NOT to spread any narratives or panic about bogus signatures until they conduct their own investigations. Currently it is only vague rumors and hearsay.
- EU confirmed 20% above 1MIL should be enough; no Initiative was ever disqualified based on signatures in this way. HOWEVER, we are also special with our meteoric rise in the past few days, so they also fully recommend & support gathering as many signatures as possible.
So go out there and keep getting more signatures! As much as possible until the end of the month. Full effort!
