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

To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Denmark has just hit their threshold becoming the fifth country to do so. Earlier this week the initiative also reached 1/3 of the required 1 million votes.

All of this happened in only just over one month since the initiative started accepting signatures showing a remarkable momentum. So let's keep the momentum going. If you haven't already signed and are a citizen of the EU (even one abroad) consider signing the initiative.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

PS: Hi LTT crew. I'm honoured to be your source when reporting on the initiative. But maybe consider also citing the primary sources. The link "Sign the initiative here" leads directly to the page of the European Commission, which has even more up to date numbers than my screenshot.

Signed! The Netherlands have almost reached the threshold (98,48%). Nog een paar stemmen! Waar wacht je nog op? πŸ˜‰

Tell more and more people to sign the petition, even if their country has already surpassed the threshold,more signatures is better

I hereby certify that I have not already supported this citizens’ initiative.

What if I can't remember?

They send a confirmation email, so check mailbox maybe?

Thanks, that solved it for me! (Although I used eID this time, so I only have a confirmation PDF that I need to keep somewhere)

Then you should sign it anyway. Worst case your new signature will get invalidated after the fact, but your old one should (AFAIK) still get counted
