All hands on deck! This is the biggest threat to Stop Killing Games yet!
The EU #KidsAct could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market and making private and community servers illegal!:

Don't just take our word for it, here's the EU Kids Act to see for yourself. Ross also has more links in the description of his video:

I put together a video going over the most damning parts of the EU Kids Act. It would make playing unsupported games online in the EU illegal, no joke. This is way bigger than SKG, most of the industry seems to be sleeping on this.

Anyone can help by sharing this with your communities, friends, and family!

Age verification consolidates big publishers & platforms by pricing out smaller devs and locking everyone into tech monopolies.

Read up on the Kids Act yourself (check Article 2 on scope (pages 39-40) and Article 3 Point 5 subpoints h, i, j (pages 41-42) on the definitions of online games, video game, and video gaming platform): drive.proton.me/urls/7FGQYQ0…
Don't forget to contact your MEPs, tell them to scuttle this bill, and sign the #StopKillingInternet Initiative to ensure the protection of our digital spaces: eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public
I'll be on a SKG stream at 3pm UTC today prior to MEPs talking. It will be about the Digital Fairness Act and the "EU Kids Act." The proposal by the Commission is so hostile it's comical. For starters, It would ban all private game servers in the EU.

While I think this particular route is likely a dead end towards preventing games being destroyed, I still appreciate the spotlight shown on Sony simultaneously saying people own and do not own their games. The more light on industry behavior, the better.

Responsible game shutdowns are possible.
@Deathlyrage talks about how he would shut down his game responsibly to be #StopKillingGames compliant with peer-to-peer, and Ross concurs with a fan made PS2 network emulated peer-to-peer connection.
It's not over until its over.
Silicon Valley lobbyists bought some time with bad arguments,
but California is coming back for round two next year.
