"Stop Killing Games" hits 700,000 signatures as major creators rally behind the cause

The "Stop Killing Games" initiative has crossed 733,000 signatures on its EU petition, and the momentum is coming from an unlikely coalition of the internet's biggest gaming creators. Asmongold opened his stream by running through the list: PewDiePie, Jack Septiceye, Charlie (Cr1TiKaL), and Mutahar have all publicly backed the movement. "This is like the Avengers," Asmongold said. "You've got PewDiePie coming in here, Jack Septiceye coming in here. All of these other people that are like really big creators. Everybody is coming in and pushing this again."

What "Stop Killing Games" is actually about

The initiative, started by YouTuber Ross (Accursed Farms), targets a specific practice in the gaming industry: publishers releasing online-only games and then shutting down the servers, rendering the product permanently unplayable. The core demand is that publishers should be required to either keep games functional or release them in a state that doesn't depend on company-controlled servers—for example, by providing local server software or making the game playable offline. The EU petition, which has gathered over 733,000 signatures, is a formal request for European regulators to address this as a consumer protection issue.
