The Stop Killing Games Movement Hits a Major Milestone for Game Preservation
- YouTuber Ross Scott's Stop Killing Games petition reached over 1 million signatures before its July 31, 2025 deadline, triggering mandatory EU action.
- The campaign started after Ubisoft shut down The Crew's servers in 2024, leaving the game unplayable and sparking demands for lasting game access.
- The petition calls for laws requiring publishers to provide offline modes or private servers once official support ends to preserve player access.
- Notable supporters include PewDiePie and Mark Kern, who pledged to release code for unsupported games, while critics warn of increased costs and project restrictions.
- The EU must now respond and potentially draft consumer protections, which could reshape digital ownership rights and inspire global regulatory models.
