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.

Message from SKG team member Moritz Katzner:

10 minutes ago, the California State Assembly Appropriations Committee voted yes to move the bill forward to the Assembly floor.

This is a huge success. The gaslighting attempts by the ESA failed.

A massive thank you to Assemblymember Chris Ward and his team.

Back shortly before Christmas, when I flew to the U.S. to help set up SKG-US, I didn’t expect us to get this far this quickly. It has been an honor to take part in drafting this bill on behalf of the SKG community: gamers, developers, and publishers alike.

Next up is the floor vote, where every member of the California Assembly will have the chance to vote on it. We will need all of you once more for that. More on this shortly.

On behalf of the SKG team:

Thank you.
