Stop Killing Games:
The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.
The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Lets be honest... if someone walks up to you and offers 2 fucking billion dollars for a block game you made on the whim.... youd take the money.
It still blows my mind that someone thought Minecraft was worth two billion dollars. ...in 2014. .......and they seemed to be mostly correct.
Mostly? Pretty sure Microsoft has seen s profit on that purchase.
Wasn't he already rich, though? Once you're over, like, $10mm, you don't really need to work anymore.
And then when he took the money, I think he just squandered it on bullshit.
If someone handed me 2 billion dollars I'd probably be building trains and houses, or maybe something for the climate crisis. Not jerking off alone in a house full of candy. He's a shithead failure of a human, if that's all he's done.
As a millionaire i would definitely accept an offer to become a billionaire. When you already have enough for a carefree life, money becomes power instead and then you can exert your will on the world. I can definitely see how that is really tantalizing, especially nowadays where virtually everyone has an unspecified feeling of being powerless against the system.
