Stop Killing Games Petition Scores Stoppage Time Winner

Summary

Stop Killing Games is close to reaching its goal of one million signatures for a petition regarding digital games going offline.
EU signatures are audited for issues like duplicates, non-regional signatures, and errors, posing a challenge to reaching the goal.
The movement needs around one hundred thousand more signatures for a safety net as auditing may reduce the final count.

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 as The Crew, but it requires a final push due to auditing processes from the EU that 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 that become inaccessible after purchase, providing consumers with a recourse for compensation for items they have bought but can no longer use.

The entire studio is in disarray after one of the biggest disasters in recent gaming history.

The UK government may have shut down a digital games petition, but the EU petition (which can be found on Stop 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 the Gaming Reddit, all EU signatures are 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 by Sportskeeda), 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.
