Link: Stop Killing Games

In a nutshell it’s an attempt to make the publishers plan for the sunsetting of their games in manner such that the software can still continue to function. This could be removal of a always connected requirement for single player games, a single player mode for multiplayer, offering peer-to-peer support or allowing private servers for multiplayer.

The deadline for the initiative is 31st of July, so there is not much time. But what looked like a long shoot as far as numbers was concerned, is now looking achievable.

It will need to exceed the required 1 million signatures to account for spoilt votes, so even if has reached the required number, still sign if you haven’t already.
