I'm glad our (BeamNG) CTO got quoted in SKG's Open Letter, speaking in favor of the common-sense ideas behind the initiative. It's healthier for the videogaming community and culture (and I'd say also for the general videogame industry in the medium/long term). [1/2]

@videogames_EU is hosting a meeting between its members (ie @Ubisoft) and members of the @EU_Commission + @Europarl_EN < 2 weeks before the Commission makes a decision on our Initiative: videogameseurope.eu/games-in-europ… We believe this is an attempt to lobby the Commission and we OBJECT!:

@xMisterDonutsx At the same time as per our letter, that progress is more smoothly being made in California with the Protect Our Games (POG) Act is hopeful, and there are multiple avenues being pursued to find a solution (the Digital Fairness Act, consumer agencies, etc.) We'll keep you posted!

Ubisoft CEO is today having an "invitation-only" meeting with the European Commission, hosted by VGE, 2 weeks before the EC planned answer to our ECI. SKG was not invited. Thus, we publish an Open Letter, that we invite everyone of you to read it and share it for visibility.

@Fredinator85 @videogames_EU @Ubisoft @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN Most likely those in IMCO?: europarl.europa.eu/committees/en/… Although several of the German MEPs have expressed support in the hearings and debates around our Initiative

THIS IS IMPORTANT! While #StopKillingGames is advancing, the industry is seemingly preparing counter measures behind closed doors tomorrow! Please read this open letter about the situation: reddit.com/r/StopKillingG…

@SpiritMacardi Sega is part of @videogames_EU: videogameseurope.eu/our-membership/ but will not be at the meeting: videogameseurope.eu/games-in-europ…

@Fredinator85 @videogames_EU @Ubisoft @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN Indeed. If the Commission fails to act it undermines the credibility of the European Citizens Initiative (the means through which citizens can petition the EU to do things), and it's a lost opportunity to make the younger generations feel part of the democratic process in Europe.

The Stop Destroying Videogames ECI has sent a powerful democratic signal. An invitation to OPENLY discuss the future relationship between games industry and its customers. The EU Commission must not fall for what seems to be a covert attempt to stop improvements. SKG open letter:

Video Games Europe lobby group (including Ubisoft) is hosting a discussion on consumer policy on video games with the EU Commission, but no one has been invited to represent consumers. This is likely an attempt to sink the ECI, but we have backup plans. reddit.com/r/StopKillingG…

Mais mon cher Yves, crois moi qu'on ne va pas se laisser faire ✊ Avec @StopKilingGames on va continuer à se battre pour ne pas que vous nous preniez, nous les joueurs, pour des porte-feuilles vivants sans garanties derrière. La Location longue durée n'est pas un Achat, non. The Crew, c'était un scandale et pas que. Résumé de cette lettre ouverte : Le 3 juin 2026, aujourd'hui, on apprend que Yves Guillemot, PDG de @Ubisoft , figure parmi les participants de l'industrie à l'événement « Games in Europe: Built Here. Played Globally », un « Dialogue sur l'industrie du jeu vidéo et la politique numérique de l'UE » sur invitation uniquement, organisé à Bruxelles par Video Games Europe et l'EGDF. Ubisoft à la table, avec son PDG à sa tête, dans la salle avec de hauts fonctionnaires de la Commission européenne peu avant que la Commission ne soit censée répondre à Stop Killing Games. Tiens tiens, ne serait-ce pas étrange ? Le calendrier est impossible à ignorer. L'événement a lieu treize jours avant que la Commission européenne ne doive répondre à une initiative citoyenne soutenue par plus d'un million de signataires vérifiés. Le programme s'inscrit directement dans le même contexte politique où se débat Stop Killing Games : la future Loi sur l'équité numérique (Digital Fairness Act), le choix des consommateurs, les modèles économiques, l'investissement, l'innovation, la compétitivité et l'avenir réglementaire des jeux en Europe. Vous vous doutez bien qu'ils vont tout faire pour ne pas que les processus s'enclenchent en notre faveur. Evidemment. Le mouvement Stop Killing Games publiera une déclaration supplémentaire et une vidéo détaillant ses projets futurs à l'approche de la décision de la Commission européenne sur la marche à suivre le 16 juin. Pour les joueurs, ensemble, on ne doit pas lâcher. Si je partage tout ça, que je lutte, c'est pour vous principalement. J'ai rien a y gagner dans cette histoire si ce n'est protéger la culture que j'aime temps. reddit.com/r/StopKillingG…

🚨 Today, They Are Meeting Without Us. 🏛️ The @EU_Commission is 2 weeks away from a resolution that could decide the future of game ownership. While we are fighting for the consumer, @videogames_EU is hosting an event 'Games in Europe: Built Here, Played Globally' filled with industry giants and the very policymakers who will decide our fate. ⏰ The timing is just impossible to ignore. 🙌 @StopKilingGames drafted an Open Letter to ensure the industry hears the community’s voice, but we know a letter is only as strong as the people who share it. We would love for you to help bring this into the public eye, in whichever way fits your platform best: reddit.com/r/StopKillingG…

@CyberVapor1978 @EvilCirno @Pirat_Nation Speaking of Anthem, the devs had code for local servers in their environment which, if that code was salvaged and recovered, would have been a sufficient end-of-life plan for that game: x.com/StopKilingGame… Also it's not F2P that's exempt, but completely free games:

"Anthem actually had the code for local servers running in a dev environment right up until a few months up to launch," @BioMarkDarrah said. "I don't know that they still work but the code is there to be salvaged and recovered." EOL plans for games like this is what SKG is about

@BuffedPotatoOne @Pirat_Nation Examples of responsible game shutdowns: Gran Turismo Sport published by Sony Knockout City published by Velan Studios Mega Man X DiVE published by Capcom Scrolls / Caller's Bane published by Mojang AB Duelyst published by Bandai Namco Entertainment More compliant games:

@EvilCirno @Pirat_Nation Ordinary use isn't ownership of IP; responsible end-of-life planning isn't eternal server support; reasonable means for continued function isn't a demand for source code; expired distribution rights aren't the same as the right to remotely disable access for existing customers.

@BuffedPotatoOne @CreepEntertain @Pirat_Nation The initiative asks for games sold or licensed to consumers to remain in a functional state, and for publishers not to remotely disable them before providing reasonable means for continued operation. Typical strawmen are indefinite online services and mandatory private servers

@barettorein @videogames_EU @Ubisoft @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN Essentially: spread this around so people are aware of this before the Commission makes its decision. It would be nice for them to also have meetings with preservationists and consumer advocacy organisations such as @UFCquechoisir, @EFGAMP_eu, devs that can give expertise, etc.

@panzerdad_ @videogames_EU @Ubisoft @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN It is disappointing that the gaming industry seems to be more influential to the Commission in misrepresenting and obfuscating SKG than the ESA was to California lawmakers on the POG Act. As in our letter, we've had 6 meetings and far more time with the Commission than California
