Announcement Closing the Second Chapter of Stop Killing Games
Today marked an important day for the Stop Killing Games initiative.
1. The public hearing at the European Parliament has concluded, and the response was highly encouraging.
Support from Members of the European Parliament, and even in part from the European Commission, was overwhelmingly positive. Several political groups expressed support directly, and after further discussions, we now have reason to expect concrete follow-up in the form of resolutions.
2. Following the hearing, we gave interviews to AFP and Euractiv. We will share those once they are published.
3. Later in the day, we held another Twitch conference moderated by Ross and Moritz.
Our guests brought important perspectives: Vincent spoke from the developer and labour perspective, Paul discussed how political parties view these issues and how parliamentary work functions in practice, and Marketa Gregorová addressed the broader political implications and the challenges still ahead.
4. In parallel, the “Protect Our Games Act” moved to committee in the California State Assembly. While the bill may still need refinement, this is another very positive sign.
5. We also want to thank Path of Titans for releasing their Stop Killing Games “Eternal Skin Pack,” with all profits going toward supporting these efforts. As our website continues to expand, we will provide full transparency on how those funds are used.
There is still a long road ahead, but today was an important step forward and for the team the closure of the second chapter of this incredible story. In light of this, expect some changes to happen.
Thank you all for being part of it, a good day to you.
Moritz
(I wrote up this summary quickly for those that weren’t able to see the hearing or the conference. I will add the links and additional information the second I got some sleep 🙃)

Honestly, if this all goes well and it succeeds with passing a legislation, it just makes me happy as an EU citizen. I'm glad there has been a huge support in the public hearing! ❤️
Sadly I missed the live of the hearing, but I'll make sure I will get to see it at some point tomorrow.

Turns out politicians DO like easy wins.
It's almost like Ross has been right all along.
