#StopKillingGames Update: Netherlands passes threshold
Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
Only two days ago Denmark passed its respective threshold (I reported) and just last night the Netherlands joined the club. Both countries did so after two weeks of virtually no movement in their numbers.
To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. The Netherlands is the 6th country to pass the threshold. So who will be the 7th? Currently it looks like Ireland (69%) followed by Belgium (66%), France (64%) and Austria (62%). But as Poland has shown, things can change quickly.
All that has happened already, happened in only just over one month since the initiative started accepting signatures showing a remarkable momentum. So let’s keep the momentum going. If you haven’t already signed and are a citizen of the EU (even one abroad) consider signing the initiative.
Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

PS: Hi LTT crew. I’m honoured to be your source when reporting on the initiative. But maybe consider also citing the primary sources. The link “Sign the initiative here” leads directly to the page of the European Commission, which has even more up to date numbers than my screenshot.
