"The timing is impossible to ignore": Stop Killing Games says Ubisoft attended "invitation-only" meeting with EU Commission ahead of response to campaign sparked by The Crew shutdown, but it "was not invited"

Stop Killing Games, the movement that hopes to see a future in which developers can't just take games offline and no longer allow those who have purchased them to play ever again, is back with a new update on its European Citizens' Initiative.

In case you're out of the loop, Stop Killing Games first took off in the public eye back in 2024 when Ubisoft decided to take The Crew offline… effectively making it a dead digital title for those who "owned" it.

The movement aims to make it so that companies can't just shut their games down as Ubisoft did, as it conflicts with consumer rights – particularly in Europe. It's been a long road, to say the least, but it's caught global attention.
