Stop Killing Games is a gamer-led initiative aimed at preventing games from becoming unplayable if they become commercially unviable in the publisher's eyes. Most gamers approve, but it's actually getting some serious pushback straight from the Entertainment Software Association of the US.
The Stop Killing Games initiative has prompted the state of California to consider a new law, AB 1921, known as the Protect Our Games Act. The law requires companies that would shut down the online services needed to play a game to give two months' notice and either release a patch that allows players to continue playing the game (offline or on private servers) or offer a full refund.
