Despite some concerns on their part a few months ago, the group claim that while the signatures they amassed are still being verified, "early reports from several countries" suggest "around 97%" of these are valid. YouTuber Ross Scott, a voice of the wider Stop Killing Games campaign who's spent a lot of time raising awareness of the similarly-named but distinct Stop Destroying Videogames' initiative, said at the time this had left the organisers unsure of how many signuatures they'd actually amassed. In a Reddit post over the weekend, those behind the initiative have confirmed it gathered around 1.45 million signatures before the July 31st deadline. The EU initiative is one of a few irons that the wider Stop Killing Games movement have in the fire, with similar actions in France, Germany and Australia also awaiting responses. Stop Killing Games was originally spurred into life by Ubisoft shutting down The Crew.
