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. Those national thresholds have been thresholds have been reached. Now it's all about getting to 1 million signatures total.

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

Right. Because caring about A means you can't care about B. If you support legislation, you must be boycoting nothing, because no-one in the history of existence has ever done both.

You're claiming mutual exclusivity where none exists.

You sound more like you're scared of the implications of this passing, because you'd have us voting with out wallets rather than... actually voting. Nevermind that even games not worth buying should still also be preserved.

Pre-orders, micro-transactions and battle-passes are still a thing, no matter how much we've shouted about "big company bad". This type of crap isn't something we solve by any one method alone.

And you don't need to engage with youtube or any other social media, to accept that the phenomenon they enable, occur. To dismiss that reality would be idiotic delusion.

Millions of views is a lot, when all you need to get started, is one of those millions to sign a petition.

You're claiming mutual exclusivity...

No, I'm not. I'm saying this is a waste of time. Like, writing six paragraphs that say nothing new level of wasting time.

No, I'm not.

Ok

I'm saying this is a waste of time.

I... What? Is that not a mutual exclusivity argument? For you to have a point, this time and effort would need to be better spent elsewhere. I not only disagree with that, but I have the time and energy to do the other things you are claiming will make a difference.
