The final count is in for Stop Killing Games' European Citizens' Initiative, which is now confirmed to have accumulated almost 1.3 million verified signatures before its collection was closed at the end of July 2025, meaning it can officially move forward to the next stage in the process.
In a post on Reddit, Stop Killing Games director general Moritz Katzner explains that "things are moving quite fast right now," so much so that the group is sharing the final count "ahead of schedule." It's good news, though – to be exact, the initiative racked up 1,294,188 signatures across the European Union. While that means that not all of the over 1.4 million signatures it had gained by the end of July were valid, the verified number is still comfortably above the 1 million goal.
