The Stop Killing Games campaign is growing into more than a movement. In a YouTube video, the campaign’s creator, Ross Scott, explained that organizers plan to set up two NGOs, one for the EU and the other for the US. According to Scott, these NGOs would allow “long-term counter lobbying” when publishers end support for certain video games.
“I want to start off by saying that I think we’re going to conquer this, namely the problem of publishers destroying video games that you’ve already paid for,” Scott said in the video. According to Scott, the NGOs will work on codifying the original Stop Killing Games petition into EU law, as well as take more monitoring action, such as setting up a system to report publishers for revoking access to purchased video games.
Stop Killing Games campaign started as a reaction to Ubisoft’s delisting crew From players’ libraries. The controversial decision raised concerns over how publishers have the final say on delisting video games. After surpassing one million signatures last year, the movement’s leadership has been busy exploring next steps.
According to Scott, the campaign leadership will be meeting with the European Commission soon, but he is also working on a 500-page legal paper that exposes some of the industry’s current controversial practices. Meanwhile, Ubisoft has changed its mind due to ongoing efforts since the publisher updated team 2 With offline mode.
