A new Stop Killing Games open letter has been published ahead of the European Commissionās expected response to the initiative.
The letter argues that the debate has become sidetracked by claims about the campaign that do not reflect what it actually proposes:
-Stop Killing Games is not asking publishers to keep servers online forever.
-It is not demanding that companies release source code.
-It is not requiring every game to support private servers.
Instead, the initiative calls for publishers to ensure that games people have paid for are not simply unusable when official support ends, and that reasonable end-of-life plans are put in place.
The letter also points to California, where lawmakers are already debating possible solutions through proposed legislation.
It argues that Europe has spent more time discussing the issue, yet is still debating misunderstandings that supporters say have already been addressed.
The letterās main message is simple:
>The problem has been identified.
>The proposal has been explained.
>It is time to focus on solutions.
The European Commission is expected to announce its next steps on 16 June.
