This is your somewhat regularly scheduled Stop Killing Games update.

Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

Germany has hit the threshold sometime yesterday evening. France has also started to catch up. They are still below 50% but there growth over the last couple of days has been the biggest. Netherlands and Denmark are still in the low 90s.

The milestone comes on the eve of this years Gamescom in Cologne, Germany which is set to kick off today. SKG is not going to have an official presence there. (I’ve checked with the organisers) But if you are attending and want to help spread the word I’m happy to share official marketing material, either in the form of flyers or the files for flyers, so you can print your own. They come in both German and English. If you want some, send me a DM.

      Before Firefall I also lost access to Chromehounds multiplayer, which was a very fun and unique mech combat game. That was in 2010 and the first time I genuinely felt the need for something like SKG.

      Since the death of Firefall, I know Tera has been saved by its community but many other games have not. Among the more notable losses: Warcraft 3 and Overwatch both had their Blizzard-maintained versions permanently changed and Overwatch 1 is not playable at all. Warcraft 3 requires retail copies (out of production for many years) or piracy to play the original.

      There are many more, I cannot possibly list them all.
