If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe


A European initiative is now underway for videogame preservation and consumer protections against publishers "killing games."

In 2023 alone we saw nearly a dozen games like Battlefield, Call of Duty: Warzone, Knockout City, Spellbreak, Gundam Evolution, and more meet the same grim fate as the lights went off for good. Watch On You'll probably recognize Ross Scott's voice immediately—he's the creator and narrator of YouTube webseries Freeman's Mind —and he's one of the organizers behind Stop Killing Games. It's important to note that even a million signatures doesn't mean an automatic win, just that it'll go forward to the European Union as a proposal to become a law.
