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.

To be fair to you: "killing games" and "killer games" do look and sound extremely similar. And "killer games" was the term people who wanted to ban violent games in the 90s and 2000s used.

Killer game could also describe a really good game with no killing.

Yeah, and I’m of the age can remember a long phase when folks were really trying to limit such games as a serious issue.
