[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.

The signing ups are skyrocketing and I may have found two culprits.

First: a public endorsement by Pewdiepie in a YouTube Community post https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/esports/news/sign-the-petition-pewdiepie-backs-controversial-stop-killing-games-movement-as-petition-nears-deadline/articleshow/122200591.cms
Second, Elon Musk (yes, sigh) retweeted a post about Pewdiepie endorsing SKG.

This all happened in the last 24h it seems and the SKG campaign has skyrocketed even more since then, check it out here:

Exciting to see the progress though I would have preferred to not have this "personality" be associated with the goal of the initiative...
