The “Stop Killing Games” movement has reached a significant milestone, exceeding one million verified signatures in support of its cause. The campaign aims to preserve access to video games for players after official support ends, focusing on giving them the tools and freedom to keep these games alive in some form.
Launched by Ross Scott, a prominent figure in the gaming community, the movement has garnered significant support from major content creators such as PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, and MoistCr1TiKaL. Despite efforts to discredit the movement, including comments from PirateSoftware, who criticized it as being too vague and impractical, the campaign has continued to gain traction.
The movement’s goal is not to keep every game online forever but to ensure that players have some legal means and protections to acquire continued access once official support ends. This approach has resonated with gamers worldwide, who are eager to preserve their cherished games and experiences.
With the milestone now officially reached, Ross Scott urges people to continue signing the petition and providing support for the initiative. The current target sits at 1.5 million signatures to ensure that even after validation, the petition qualifies for review.
The “Stop Killing Games” movement is a testament to the power of community engagement and awareness in shaping gaming policy. As gamers, we can make a difference by supporting initiatives like this one, which prioritize game preservation and player rights.
