This is your somewhat regularly scheduled Stop Killing Games update.

Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

Germany has hit the threshold sometime yesterday evening. France has also started to catch up. They are still below 50% but there growth over the last couple of days has been the biggest. Netherlands and Denmark are still in the low 90s.

The milestone comes on the eve of this years Gamescom in Cologne, Germany which is set to kick off today. SKG is not going to have an official presence there. (I’ve checked with the organisers) But if you are attending and want to help spread the word I’m happy to share official marketing material, either in the form of flyers or the files for flyers, so you can print your own. They come in both German and English. If you want some, send me a DM.

Love the momentum of this initiative, hopefully it reaches success!

FYI, there’s also the Tax the rich initiative available, which is ending in October this year.

Personally i’m a bit sad that video games get more traction than fixing wealth inequalities.

This is the first time I even see that initiative and I’m in several leftist spaces. Grassroots advocacy is tough man

I guess one seems more achievable.

It’s honestly infuriating. It’s gamers being entitled children and acting like it’s saving the world from greedy corporations. Meanwhile the “save the world from greedy corporations” initiative is dead in the water.

How is wanting to continue playing a game after developers stop supporting it entitled?

We gotta spread the word. It still seems very achievable if enough people become aware of it.
