when i say that the movie,tv,music industries don't have this problem. games keep getting the short end of the stick and i think its the other media types that are behind it. people wont be happy till there is no more games and we have to go back to board games, god give us a brake!

The movie, TV and music industry have been under the same fire for a long time. It's just that games are more recent because those industries have been around for some time now.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition
