GeezerVison is showing www.stopkillinggames.com — Stop Killing Games — They Kill Games. We Fight Back.   They kill games.We fight back.Publishers are permanently destroying the video games you've paid for. An increasing number of games are sold as goods, but designed to be completely unplayable for everyone as soon as support ends. We are demanding legislation to end this practice. Scroll to explore About the Initiative The Stop Killing Games CampaignWe are a global coalition of gamers, consumer advocates, and developers pushing for international legal protections. Video games are increasingly being designed to require central servers to function, even for single-player content. When publishers decide to shut those servers down, the games are destroyed entirely. We argue this practice is a violation of consumer rights. If you purchase a good, it shouldn't self-destruct. We are launching formal petitions, exploring class-action lawsuits, and engaging with lawmakers worldwide to end the intentional destruction of our digital media.  Top Story The Crew Shutdown Lawsuit ProgressesOur ongoing effort against the arbitrary shutdown of 'The Crew' has reached a new milestone in French consumer courts. This could set a precedent for all "always-online" titles moving forward. PreservationGames are art and have grown into a huge influence for our society. Deliberately rendering them unplayable is the destruction of cultural heritage. Consumer RightsWhen you buy a copy of a game, you should own it. It shouldn't come with an artificial expiration date decided by corporate profit margins. Legal ActionOur efforts go beyond complaining. We are organizing legal challenges across the EU, US, and more regions to enforce existing laws. We Are Proud to Partner With        By the Numbers The Movement GrowsWe are proud to partner with gamers worldwide to stop publishers from stealing what we've already paid for. 0M+Global SupportersGamers, consumer advocates, and developers worldwide demanding change. 0+Legislative InquiriesFormal government actions and legal proceedings initiated across multiple countries. 0SignaturesPetition signatures collected globally for consumer rights.
