Stop Killing Games successfully reached its goal of amassing 1 million EU signatures earlier this year, but one big question was still hanging over the campaign: Were enough of those signatures valid? It seems that the initiative has cleared this hurdle, however, and it now seems the long-awaited EU hearing is "all but guaranteed."
By now, the name of "Stop Killing Games" has become synonymous with this European Citizens' Initiative – which is, itself, technically called Stop Destroying Videogames. The Citizens' Initiative is a process where EU citizens can petition for intervention in a specific issue. If organizers are able to gather 1 million signatures, they can present their issue to the European Commission, which will then make a decision on what action to take.
