Title: 'Stop Killing Games' Consumer Movement Hits Major Milestones

Link: https://games.slashdot.org/story/25/07/03/202...

The "Stop Killing Games" movement, led by YouTuber Accursed Farms, has gained
serious momentum as it pushes back against the practice of game publishers
shutting down access to titles consumers have paid for. Recent milestones
include a UK petition surpassing 100K signatures and an EU initiative nearing
its 1 million goal. GamingOnLinux reports: In the UK, the newer petition has
flown past the 100K signatures (126,066 at time of writing) needed for it to
be considered for a debate in Parliament. That doesn't mean it will happen,
just that it now needs to be considered by the UK government to potentially
have it mentioned. A good step though, with signatures still flowing in until
July 14th, showing there's demand for change. On the EU side, things are also
going well there now too. Against the needed 1 million signatures, it's now
hit 977,864 (at time of writing). According to the official Accursed Farms X
account, they've had reports of "non-citizens spoofing signatures on the EU
initiative" so it may be a little inflated.
