The game ownership rights movement is seeking signatures from players 1 million European Union
The "Stop Killing Games" movement, which needs a 1 million signature within a year to get European Union lawmakers to act, is gaining momentum. Its goal is to ban game publishers from denying players access to purchased online-only games.
At present, the signature campaign has collected more than 90,000 signatures. Although the final goal is still far away, the campaign has only just begun. ()
The European Union region has about 449 million population, 53% of whom play video games. () However, not all players care about gaming industry news. Therefore, it is difficult to determine how many players care about the sport.
Ross Scott, the campaign's founder, said in a video: "If we can get enough signatures, I think we can turn this around and change the history of the game. If we don't work together, the problem will only get worse and we end up with nothing left but we still have to pay for things we no longer own." ()
