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. Now both of those goals have been reached. But that's no reason to stop signing! Some signatures will get thrown out in the validation phase because the signee made a mistake. So keep signing and show the world just how many people are in favour of saving videogames.

This is an incredible turnaround after it seemed like the initiative was stalling just a few weeks ago. Keep those signatures rolling if you can! As others mentioned, there is still a value in new signatures because some will be invalidated. Let's finally get a win for media preservation, eh?

Gotta keep going. Not all signatures are going to be legit, so a reasonable buffer needs to be in place.

100.01% is cutting it close but glad to see we got this far. Please keep signing!
