The Stop Killing Games campaign is gaining fresh attention as activists push for stronger protections against publishers shutting down online games without playable alternatives.
The movement grew after high-profile shutdowns left some purchased games inaccessible, renewing debate over whether live-service titles should be preserved after official support ends.
Campaigners are arguing for legal and policy changes that could require publishers to offer private server options, offline modes, or other end-of-life access plans.
The campaign has drawn political attention in both the United States and Europe, where consumer rights, digital ownership, and game preservation are increasingly linked.
Publishers have warned that indefinite support can be expensive and technically difficult, but preservation advocates say players need clearer rights when games depend on remote servers.
