The UK petition has met the minimum signatures needed, and the EU initiative is getting really close! Both will need extra though in case there are any issues with any signatures, so please keep it going and help Stop Killing Games!

The links are clickable this time hopefully making it even more convenient! Tumblr didn't let this post the first time with clickable links, but it worked for one of the Rebloggers (thank you to everyone for helping to share this!), and sure enough worked the second time.

if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. i've posted about it before; it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thank you!!!

European Citizens' Initiative

Give your support !

Petition: Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold

The government should update consumer law to prohibit publishers from disabling video games (and related game assets / features) they have a

Uk petition for same thing by same people

[wafflecat2]

For those who don't know or got miss info:

This basicly regulates publishers to make a version for the said games to still be able to play, even if the official servers/online has been shut down.

This does not mean that every game has to be single player games, but make life-service (gacha, mmo or similar things) games still be playable.

At long last, I am ready to reveal my newest batch of stickers!

Introducing: SPLATONE

A series of parody colour swatch stickers featuring art of the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, and Deep Cut from Splatoon (and perhaps more in the future.... perhaps....)

These stickers will go live on my K⋆-Fi store starting February 26th 11am AEST!

[shlubbyart]

I made a lil Rosalina standee in secret during my last merch batch. Though unlike my Rosalina charms and stickers, this one isn't for sale.

It was in fact a birthday gift for @thekleesh :)

[thekleesh]

This was a huge surprise that I'm still having trouble getting over, I cannot thank you enough Skyela :)

[shlubbyart]

So happy to announce some new items in the shop!

These princess chibis are available in both charm and sticker form, both with a sparkly holographic finish!

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

This would be great. Recommended for my EU followers.

STORE ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm happy to announce that I'll be selling some merch on my Ko-Fi shop starting, and will be open starting June 15th 10:00am AEST.

I'll have a small selection of stickers, acrylic charms and small prints available. Stock is limited since they are leftover from my recent artist stall, but I am open to restocks and new items in the future.

Hope you are all looking forward to the release of my first line of merch!

hey folks i've been meaning to boost Ross Scott's Stop Killing Games initiative but i don't trust myself to write something exhaustively informed about it, has someone already made a good post on the subject that i could reblog?

time-sensitive note: if you're located in Australia you have until May 20th to sign the petition!

[orteil42]

to cover as many bases as possible, here's -

50-sec ultra-abridged explanation by Ross Scott:

10-min video summary by another youtuber:

text recap:

this is a consumer rights movement looking to establish legislation regarding companies shutting down paid video games. the general idea is that a game you purchased should have an end-of-life plan to keep it playable in some form after its servers shut down (such as by making server software publicly available).

You can visit StopKillingGames.com for more details and ways you can help.

(there's an FAQ addressing edge cases you might think of!) depending on your location there's a variety of ways you can contribute, such as by signing a petition or contacting a representative. you can also spread awareness by sharing Ross's videos or posts like this one. please consider helping! this is important both for your rights as a consumer and for video game preservation!

Hey everyone! Quick little update:

I just got back from my first ever event as a merch vendor! It was a lot of work but I had a wonderful time. :)

I mentioned previously that I'll be selling the rest of my merch online via my Ko-Fi store. But first I'm going to be trialling online orders with some overseas friends just so I can get some practice in before my store opens.

The current plan is to have my store open to everybody sometime in mid-June. I'll hopefully be able to give specific dates soon.

Also! If you're unsure what merch will be available, here's a list of things I'll have on my store:

A set of 6 Holographic Acrylic Sword Charms (+ matching stickers)

A Smash Ball/Battlefield holographic sticker

Various small art prints (including this one)

I'll make a proper announcement close to and when the store opens.

Thanks! ☆

When I played the first global testfire, I never would have imagine myself to love this multiplayer shooter so much. Goodbye Splatoon 1 and thanks for all the irreplaceable memories.
