It’s available as an official European Citizens’ Initiative Proposal.
Deadline: 31/07/2025
Edit: Swapped the links to direct straight to the initiative page.
Short version: it’s a campaign to force publishers to provide some way to play online only games after they decide to shut down the servers. That or letting us know, by law, that games can be killed without repercussion. It’s not about forcing publishers to keep the servers alive forever if that’s what you’re wondering.
Long version: check out the official website for the Stop Killing Games campaign. It has FAQ with all the important info.
Oh holy hell that’s a good idea. I’m not a citizen of EU, but I am currently a working resident. Would my name qualify for this?
Unfortunately not, initiatives can only be signed by EU citizens. For this specific campaign you can help by spreading the word, besides that you can also check the “Take Action” tab on the site I linked previously - there are multiple campaigns started in various countries so you might be able to help with one of those.
