We have a big win!
#StopKillingGames and #StopKillingInternet signed a letter against the UK govt blocking VPNs, and we SUCCEEDED!
We're proud to stand with @mozilla, @ProtonPrivacy, Reporters Without Borders, @amnesty, and major VPN providers to achieve this major victory
We also held our first major #StopKillingInternet partner meetup, with experts from around the world (see attached images)
This builds on the letter we signed back in May against the Online Safety Act with Mozilla and others. We signed because internet restrictions and software age checks threaten independent software, Linux ecosystems, modding, private servers, and ultimately game preservation by making end-of-life plans for games far more difficult. It also allows for lobbying groups such as the ESA to further lie and gaslight against us. They want to make their faulty reasoning into legal reality.
More major Stop Killing Games announcements are on the way! Stay tuned!

THIS IS IMPORTANT!
While #StopKillingGames is advancing, the industry is seemingly preparing counter measures behind closed doors tomorrow!
Please read this open letter about the situation: https://t.co/X5kSfONJx7
Don’t buy this. They did a full demonstration and reveal the way it was because they thought it looked great. If it looked bad, they would’ve just waited to have the devs show off how good it could look. GenAI isn’t here to produce art. It’s tricking you into thinking it is.
Thanks to the dedication of developers and publishers, we are launching https://t.co/aJNdgrvsHW.
To raise awareness on censorship in gaming, 13 games are now available for free for 48h as a part of stand for creative freedom and preservation.
We believe that if a game is legal and responsibly made, players should be able to enjoy it today – and decades from now.
It’s our statement: when games are delisted today because of discomfort, reviving them tomorrow becomes exponentially harder.
