Stop Killing Games consumer movement hits some major milestones https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/stop-killing-games-consumer-movement-hits-some-major-milestones/
Save future videogames from planned obsolescence!
There is an initiative asking the EU to regulate or at least clarify video games being made inaccessible remotely by publishers.
The initiative is on an official channel provided by the EU itself, if it reaches one million signatures the European Commission will have to look into the matter and provide a response, there is still a month until 31 July.
Tuleeko kuluttajalla mielestäsi olla oikeus ostettuun tuotteeseen, tässä tapauksessa peliin, niin kauan kun itse haluaa, eikä vain sen aikaa kun julkaisija itse sallii?
Jos vastasit ”kyllä”, allekirjoita tämä EU kansalaisaloite heti!
Stop Killing Games campaign needs more signatures...

European Citizens' Initiative
Some updates on the #StopKillingGames campaign from Ross. We had a couple of big promotions that fell through, frustratingly, but our main chance for the European Citizens' Initiative is for non-English sponsored messages on YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Contact Ross if you're interested!
