The Stop Killing Games campaign has collected more than 1.4 million signatures 10 days before the deadline, making it eligible for official recognition by the European Citizens Initiative, even if a portion of the signatures are deemed invalid.
The campaign seeks to protect video games from complete shutdown, calling for games to be left in a playable state even after their servers are shut down, without requiring publishers to continue support or updates.
The move comes after controversial statements from Ubisoft’s CEO, who defended the idea that games have a natural lifecycle that ends in shutdown, stating that Ubisoft has been clear about this.
The campaign will now enter the review phase by the European Parliament, to determine the next steps. There’s still a long way to go, but reaching this number is a major milestone for game preservation enthusiasts.
