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.

Following the European Parliament public hearing that took place last month, the European Economic and Social Committee had on May 19th, a debate about the Stop Destroying Videogames ECI to which they invited SKG to participate.

Thus, there was 2 SKG representatives, one on-site and one via remote presence.
Also other guests, like "UFC-Que Choiser" were invited to participate on the debate.
