Ross has an update on the Stop Killing Games campaign. youtu.be/CgoODQFrPgw?si=cYue… #SKGaming #Gaming

HERE WE GO! @StopKilingGames seems unstoppable now! Despite the constant misrepresentation from industry lobbyists, the demands from the movement have a high chance of leading to actual protection legislation. The latest update: youtube.com/watch?v=CgoODQFr…

We agree it won’t be easy to enforce, but it will create a cultural change within the industry. Stop Killing Games-backed California bill targeting online game shutdowns "isn't going to be an easy thing" to enforce’ rockpapershotgun.com/stop-ki… #SKGaming #Gaming

Your chance! AMA with Assembly Member Chris Ward, who is currently driving the Protect Our Games Act forward in California.

California Assembly Member Chris Ward, behind the Protect Our Games (PoG) Act AB 1921, wishes to read your questions! You can submit your questions (about the bill, etc) here: reddit.com/r/StopKillingGame… He will be replying on reddit later today at 06:00-07:00 PM (PT) (UTC-7).

🚨 La ESA vuelve a mentir sobre el movimiento Stop Killing Games. Stan Pierre-Louis, presidente y CEO de la Entertainment Software Association, ha publicado un artículo de opinión cargado de afirmaciones engañosas sobre el proyecto de ley Protect Our Games Act (AB 1921) en California. El directivo afirma que el proyecto sería carísimo para desarrolladores y publishers, podría obligar a las empresas a mantener servidores online eternos, generaría problemas con acuerdos de licencias y perjudicaría especialmente a los estudios más pequeños. La realidad es muy distinta. Según los impulsores del proyecto, AB 1921 NO exige soporte de servidores eterno. Solo pide que los publishers de juegos de pago que dependen de servicios online ofrezcan una solución end-of-life cuando cierren el soporte: modo offline, mod, servidor privado o reembolso.

@theESA we are gettin' tired of your lies...

The Stop Killing Games movement has pushed back against the Entertainment Software Association's latest criticism of California's Protect Our Games Act (AB 1921), arguing that industry lobbyists are deliberately misrepresenting what the bill actually requires. While the ESA claims the legislation would force companies to support games indefinitely, supporters say the bill only requires publishers to provide a playable version, an end-of-life patch, or a refund when a paid game becomes unusable due to server shutdowns. SKG organizer Moritz Katzner responded: "The bill does not require perpetual server support. It does not require live operations forever." The bill has already cleared California's State Assembly and is moving to the Senate.

🎮 Millions of gamers are fighting back against a practice they say lets companies erase games people already paid for. The Stop Killing Games campaign began after Ubisoft shut down The Crew in 2024, making the online-only racing game completely unplayable. Supporters say publishers should be required to leave games playable offline or provide tools for communities to keep them running after official support ends. The movement has now reached lawmakers in Europe, the U.K., and the U.S., turning a gaming dispute into a wider consumer rights debate.

BREAKING! Stop Killing Games, the adjacent ECI and the Protect Our Games Act (US) have endlessly explained demands and consequences. With lawyers and game devs as experts. Yet, the industry (this time the ESA CEO) keeps lying about it. Groundhog day! reddit.com/r/StopKillingGame…

Créer "des plans de fin de vie" et "responsabiliser" les éditeurs: comment "Stop Killing Games", campagne lancée par un Youtubeur, pourrait changer la donne et éviter les arrêts brutaux de certains jeux vidéo l.bfmtv.com/TeJC

A group of 45 Members of the European Parliament has formally called on the European Commission to introduce legislation preventing publishers from deliberately making purchased video games unplayable after ending support. In a letter sent to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other senior EU officials, the lawmakers backed the goals of the Stop Killing Games initiative and urged the Commission to present a "concrete legislative proposal" before its official response on June 16. The letter states that failure to act would "send a catastrophic signal to all EU citizens and discredit the instrument of the European Citizens' Initiative as a whole."

PRIME CASE for @StopKilingGames! Several Kingdom Hearts titles will be wiped from Nintendo's cloud service. People paid for these, yet in one year they will be entirely gone. Only "compensation" is a discount, if you wish to buy the games again. support.na.square-enix.com/n…

This is an excellent letter for legislation on the issue of game destruction signed by dozens of MEPs. I really appreciate the support we're getting on this!
