Game Preservation Movement Surpasses 1.3 Million Signatures, Paving the Way for European Commission Review

This campaign to preserve gaming ownership rights has reached a significant milestone by accumulating 1.3 million verified endorsements, ensuring that their petition will now receive an official review from the European Commission.

The movement, established on the belief that purchasing a game should guarantee its long-term availability rather than having it removed when servers go offline, has garnered almost all of its 1.4 million intended signatures. The objective was met well before the 1 million signature minimum was achieved, demonstrating strong support from the gaming community.

A volunteer from the initiative explained that the strategy involved keeping the final count of verified endorsements confidential for now. They noted that detailed plans regarding the next phase will be revealed shortly.

Further information will soon be shared through the following channels:

• A new video presentation
• An overhauled website
• A restructured Discord community

In the meantime, it is requested that everyone shows respect for the individuals behind the campaign. These dedicated supporters balance various responsibilities, including family and career obligations, yet they have committed their time to stand behind this cause.

The ultimate goal is to ensure that enthusiasts can enjoy their games irrespective of ongoing developer support. This does not imply that online services should remain active forever, but rather that there should be established plans allowing fans to take over support should a game’s official servers be discontinued.
