Not Signed, do not sign this trash. Live service games have a lifespan, they will eventually go away. It is insane to think that once a live service game comes online that someone must maintain and pay server costs for that game forever. The only way this would make any sense, is if at the end of a live service game, the license for that game became public domain and anyone could obtain the source code to either keep the game alive, or code that game for offline play. Outside of that, it simply does not make sense.

Signed and shared on multiple discord servers. Everyone in EU, spread the word as far as you can.

I don’t agree with forcing them to keep servers online.
I do think if they reached a certain level of profitability, a tiny portion of that should be allocated to making the server software available to the general public when they “pull the plug”

Signing takes barely 2 minutes and doesn’t require your private email.

This is a great opportunity to make a difference!
If you’ve got any reservations about what this initiative might do to game developers, I recommend the [StopKillingGames FAQ](https://www.stopkillinggames.com/faq) and [Louis Rossmann’s video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF4zH8bJDI8) on the subject. There are reasonable concerns with reasonable answers!
Good video from pirate software on the petition [video](https://youtu.be/ioqSvLqB46Y?si=orDyAcxEy9Q2in7r)
Gives a good perspective from both sides regarding this.
As always context matters and this is garbage in it’s current state.
Here is a video from an actual game maker : [Stop Killing Games (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioqSvLqB46Y)
And signed.
