Stop Killing Games hits 1M signatures after PewDiePie and Asmongold support

The Stop Killing Games petition has hit 1M signatures after backing from PewDiePie, Asmongold, and Elon Musk.

The Stop Killing Games campaign has officially reached its goal of one million signatures, thanks in part to high-profile support from PewDiePie, Asmongold, Jacksepticeye, and even Elon Musk.

The movement, launched by YouTuber Accursed Farms in April 2024, advocates for the preservation of online games after official support ends.

The site says we have cleared 1 million signatures! I hate being like this, but there's a chance a significant number of them aren't real. That means we have to keep signing in overdrive mode to make up for them! I'll have a video on this later today.https://t.co/EpnNTDR85U

The campaign is part of a European Citizens’ Initiative pushing for legislation that would require developers to keep online games accessible even after sunset. The one million signature milestone, confirmed on July 3, 2025, brings the initiative closer to potentially influencing EU law.

Accursed Farms celebrated the achievement in a tweet but warned that not all signatures may be valid, stating, “There’s a chance a significant number of them aren’t real,” urging continued participation to meet the verified threshold.

Massive traffic following endorsements briefly took down the campaign’s website. PewDiePie, in a YouTube post, expressed “100% support” for the cause. Jacksepticeye called it “an absolute win” in a video on his secondary channel, and Asmongold encouraged EU-based gamers to sign via Twitter. Elon Musk amplified the movement further by retweeting Asmongold’s message to over 220 million followers.

10 months and over 800k signatures later, the Stop Killing Games initiative is almost across the finish line of 1 million.

The campaign's success comes after criticism from Pirate Software, who argued the initiative was vague and impractical. Following backlash and review bombing of his games, he stepped down from his position at Offbrand Games.

The milestone marks a major victory for online game preservation advocates and signals growing momentum in the fight for digital gaming rights.
