The Stop Killing Games campaign, which began as a response to Ubisoft’s delisting of The Crew from players’ libraries, is evolving into a more formalized movement. In a recent YouTube video, the campaign’s creator, Ross Scott, announced plans to establish two non-governmental organizations (NGOs), one for the European Union and another for the United States. These NGOs will enable ‘long-term counter lobbying’ when publishers end support for certain video games, allowing the campaign to push for lasting change. Scott expressed confidence in the campaign’s success, stating, ‘Let me start off by saying I think we’re going to win this, namely the problem of publishers destroying video games that you’ve already paid for.’ The NGOs will focus on getting the original Stop Killing Games petition codified into EU law and pursuing watchdog actions, such as setting up a system to report publishers for revoking access to purchased video games. This development marks a significant step forward for the campaign, which aims to protect consumers’ rights and prevent publishers from unilaterally removing access to purchased games.
