The Stop Killing Games campaign, founded by American YouTuber Ross Scott in 2024, aims to combat the practice of game publishers shutting down servers for online games, rendering them unplayable. The movement gained momentum after Ubisoft announced the closure of its online-only racing game, The Crew, which had over 12 million players. Scott's petition, signed by nearly 1.3 million people, has led to discussions in the European Parliament and legal actions against Ubisoft for allegedly misleading players about their rights. The campaign advocates for responsible shutdown practices, urging publishers to consider options like offline modes or software releases to preserve access. The gaming industry has responded by arguing that such proposals could raise development costs. Meanwhile, legislative efforts like California's Protect Our Games Act are underway to protect consumers' rights regarding game access. Scott remains committed to the campaign, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding digital ownership and consumer rights in the gaming industry.
