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.

Due to a complicated accident at the core of the space-time continuum, the European Space Agency now owns the rights to Minecraft, the movie Son of the Mask, and all variations of the color yellow.
