[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.

EU Final Day: 31/7/2025.

MODERATORS
at the present trajectory (hoping that the vast majority of signatures are genuine), I don't think 1200000 would be out of the question by the deadline.
That said, I worry that interest will drop off pretty sharply after the 100% mark.
The present trajectory is over 100k a day.
That'd make for about 4 million by the end of the month. A LOT more than a mere 20% past the goal.
But my worry is the same. People should keep signing, both to make a point, and to compensate for any foul play, but hearing "it passed" a lot of people will instantly decide not to bother.
