Stop killing games It officially reached 1.4 million signatures, which far exceeded the number required for its merit. The previous goal was 1 million signatures and the petition reached this number of 3 July. Since then, even Vice President of the European Parliament has signed a petition and expressed support for a movement across social media. However, this did not prevent several veterans in the field to criticize the movement, including the co -founder Ubisoft.
He is currently working as the CEO of Ubisoft and the recent criticism of stopping Yves Guillemot has focused on the idea that it should not be expected that the publisher should not be expected to maintain the service permanently and stated that “at some point the service may be interrupted”. Although this comment does not solve the problem of consumers who lose access to previously purchased games, it seems to be a perspective of several people in this industry, including European video games of European publishers Europe.

Stop killing the game movement gains support from the European Parliament vice -president
The vice president of the European Parliament Nicolae Stefanut expresses his support for the Stop Killing Games Movement to maintain online games.
Since July 21st, the Stop Killing Games petition has officially received a total of 1 408 760 signatures. While the original goal was for 1 million people to sign a petition, its recent success prompted the organizers to set a stretching goal of 1.4 million signatures to stop killing games with the intention to solve potentially invalled statements about support. The deadline for stopping killing is 31 July and players in the European Union are still welcome to sign the petition until that date.
Stop killing games pushing forward despite criticism
While removing games as Crew Ubisoft is indirectly to create this petition, by far not the only industrial titan guilty of his online games. Over the past 2 years, EA has closed dozens of titles, which is a practice that continues with a recent exclusion decision EA SPORTS FC 24Football game published in 2023. The success of stopped games shows that at least in Europe players are frustrated by publishers who make these kinds of decisions and ignore potential solutions such as servers hosted players.
At a modern age, the removal of video games from digital trade can make it impossible to play. This was a problem from the dawn of online gaming, but with companies like Entergram, they suddenly exclude more than 100 games from the PlayStation store, it is an apparently growing concern for many players. If the petition stops killing games, the European Parliament can persuade to make changes, this could result in new laws across the European Union that would prevent video game publishers from eliminating games. This means that no official announcement of what steps would be taken if and when the petition will be successful.
