[EU] Stop Killing Games:


The consumer movement to stop game publishers from disabling older games with kill switches after official support ends.


The goal is to reach 1 million signatures so that the european parliament will respond to the petition that then leads to game ownership protections enacted for consumers.

Nintendo stole the games from my Switch when the monthly extortion tax was not paid. Nothing they do is relevant to me any more. Anyone can steal from me once, that is on them; to let them do it again, would be entirely my fault.

Unfortunately, that's now the end goal of officially-supported console emulation: "We will only rent you old games, never sell indefinite licenses."
