The Stop Killing Games movement has reached a significant milestone in its effort to enact laws that protect consumers from the demise of video games, such asThe Crew, but it requires a final push due toauditing processes from the EUthat could scupper its progress at the last minute.
Stop Killing Games is currently gathering signatures from people in the United Kingdom and the European Union to advocate for laws that regulate digital games thatbecome inaccessible after purchase, providing consumers with a recourse for compensation for items they have bought but can no longer use.
Firewalk Studios Waiting In Layoff Limbo After Concord Flop
The entire studio is in disarray after one of the biggest disasters in recent gaming history.
The UK government may have shut downa digital games petition, but the EU petition (which can be found onStop Killing Games’website) is still going strong and has almost hit its goal of one million signatures, and with a month to go, it will almost certainly hit that target. However, it needs more than the stated goal, due to EU auditing rules.
Stop Killing Games’ Petition Could Be Undone By Auditing
According to users on theGamingReddit,all EU signaturesare thoroughly reviewed during an auditing process to check for issues, such as duplicates, signatures from individuals outside the region, or errors in the submitted information.
If the final tally sits at a million, then a chunk of that could be taken off during the audit, which means it could fall below the minimum needed. This means the signature requires around one hundred thousand more, just to be safe.
The Stop Killing Games movement saw a recent surge, following surprise support from PewDiePie (as reported bySportskeeda), which put it close to the finishing line. The petition is close to its stated goal, but it still needs help, so anyone reading who is in the EU can help out by simply signing the petition.
