Imagine buying a game — investing your time, money, and passion — only to see it switched off forever when servers go down or a publisher decides a game is not profitable any more and simply pulls the plug.
Stop Killing Games is an initiative that calls on game developers and publishers to stop making games unplayable after official support ends. Players deserve to keep access to the games they paid for — whether single-player or multiplayer — without fear of losing them due to decisions beyond their control.

The campaign demands:
- Games that can still be played after servers are shut down
- Transparency on game longevity at the time of purchase
- Actual ownership of purchased games, not just temporary licenses to play them
