Dear Stop Destroying Videogames ECI supporters, First of all, thank you very much for your support! Our efforts have, amongst other successes, secured cooperation with various entities working on game preservation, such as GoG (Good Old Games) or even support from MEPs from the European Pirate Party. We are attempting to secure several promotions to get back into the news cycle, interviews and other means to make a break in our slow rate of signatures, but we want to fire on all cylinders for the final push. Here's how you can help: we would like to issue a call to action to all of you! We ask you to please tell everyone about the Initiative, spread the word to anyone you can! Whether they are a gamer or non-gamer, our Initiative's consumer rights protection work and cultural preservation struggle impacts all EU citizens equally. Feel free to visit https://stopkillinggames.eu/ and use the resources available in our Discord https://discord.com/invite/gGAwxgarzZ . We have limited time (<4 months!) to make the ECI succeed and use direct democracy to solve videogames getting destroyed. If we succeed, we have the power to change gaming history if we can get enough signatures! Let's do this together! Thank you! ECI Organizers (image my own)

Found on the Stop Killing Games official server, though this was uploaded in May 2019. Translations that might be the basis for Russian subtitles: https://suvitruf.ru/2019/05/03/5636/games-as-a-service-is-fraud/ https://suvitruf.ru/2019/05/10/6058/games-as-a-service-is-fraud-preventive-protection/

Subtitles for the dub here (audio editing by @Erasmus Roterodamnsus, dub performed by a Spanish organizer) Also uploaded to YouTube (Ross gives permission to use his SKG/Dead Game videos however people want to): captionss_es_¡Los europeos pueden salvar la industria de los videojuegos!.srt

Already on the video, just posting for people to see Giant FAQ on The European Initiative to Stop Destroying Games! - GR.srt

Translated by SNOUPS4 (already on the video, just posting for people to see) 2024_11_06_Giant FAQ on The European Initiative to Stop Destroying Games__French_Version_by_SNOUPS4.srt

You can also reach out to @Erasmus Roterodamnsusas well so he can relay these to Daniel (feel free to DM him here or on Discord - he'll give you a machine-translated version of the subtitles you'd want to work on to get started/edited)

Hello! I wanted to provide this community with all the subtitles available that I could find so people can translate the various Stop Killing Games videos to their language. Might be a little late, but better than never! EU languages are preferred, for reach obviously: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1oWNKuw-IJNO7BUTZH7tRUlUA4PRRtqRr?usp=drive_link If you've finished translating the subtitles into your language, give them to @danielsangeo so he can upload them to YouTube

I wonder if Vimeo is a viable option?

We no longer need someone to help open up the petition, as it's already open. Consider signing, and tell your friends!: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4965

TLDR: This is a callout to anyone who lives in the Saanich—Gulf Islands area of Canada and are willing to help out as a volunteer with the Stop Killing Games campaign. DM me if you live there! In order to launch the petition in Canada, we need an MP to sponsor the petition before it opens for signatures. MP Elizabeth May has indicated she is willing to sponsor the petition if we find someone in her constituency. This is where you (Canadians) come into play! We need someone who lives in the constituency of MP Elizabeth May (which is the constituency of Saanich—Gulf Islands, covering the southern tip of Vancouver Island including Saanich and the adjacent Gulf Islands - here's a map if you need help: https://www.elections.ca/res/cir/maps2/mapprov.asp?map=59027&lang=e) to help out the campaign by volunteering to be a constituent sponsor for a petition to the Canadian Parliament. Everything is set up and ready to go, we just need a volunteer who is a resident of the area who is willing to be the sponsor of the petition so it can be submitted to Parliament. You don’t have to be a Canadian citizen or even an owner of The Crew, just a resident of the constituency. If you’re able and willing to help out, please DM me!

Hello! If you're here from Ross's videos on The Crew and want to help but aren't sure what to do, here is some information to help you out!: Ross is looking for people, especially Australians and people from non-English speaking EU countries, to contact their local consumer protection agencies (or potentially have law firms file complaints with these agencies) after The Crew shuts down on March 31. The reason he WANTS ACTION to be taken in April is that The Crew will be rendered UNPLAYABLE starting in April, due to Ubisoft shutting down the servers The Crew needs to function. In other words, A PRODUCT/GOOD that people have paid money for will be made UNUSABLE after the point of sale. Starting April, THIS WILL GIVE CONSUMER AGENCIES the chance to investigate this practice regardless of game publisher, whereas acting now would be confusing to many current legal systems. We want to be addressing and presenting a CLEAR & PRESENT VIOLATION of consumer law vs one that has not happened yet. In Australia and EU countries, there are strong consumer protection laws and agencies that deal with this sort of thing. The US is not as consumer empowering in this regard, BUT “We don't need a win in the US to win this war! We just need to make it more expensive to destroy games in OTHER countries than not.”. Ross will create a website by the time The Crew shuts down that has the step-by-step procedure of contacting a consumer protection agency regardless of what country an owner of The Crew is in, with instructions in the consumer's local language. I will update this post with the website name and URL once that drops. Attached are some IMAGES of consumer protection agencies Ross is aware of as of February 24 (note: Ross now knows Citizen's Advice is not the proper organization to contact in the UK on this): If you have any information that could possibly help Ross, YOU SHOULD EMAIL HIM AT: [email protected] Examples of information Ross would find useful (including but not limited to): -Knowing what agencies to contact for those who own The Crew (as well as dead ends with certain agencies) per country -Ways of offering Ross PUBLICITY or media attention on this starting in April (not now) -YouTube channels to contact (including foreign gaming Youtubers). Email their contact info to Ross rather than making it public. -Suggestions/efforts on how best to organize things and optimize organizing and collaborating. Ross is open to people who want to spearhead how to sort, verify, and arrange information/everything. - Other additional information, such as the "Stuff I most need help with" slide from his video (above) DON'T BE AFRAID OF BEING REDUNDANT!!! IF YOU THINK SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE EMAILED HIM SOME INFORMATION, SEND IT ANYWAY!!! Ross "would rather 5 people GIVE ME REDUNDANT INFORMATION than not have enough info... don't assume I have everything taken care of." That's a direct quote from his video. Help Ross fight Games as A Service! Remember: [email protected]!

@The_CorvairDo email Ross at his personal email as well to make sure he 100% sees your message! You can find it by clicking "contact" at the bottom of the page. Update: It seems Ross had a conversation with him some time after Ross made his "Games as a service is fraud" video: So Ross is aware and might still be connected. But it wouldn't hurt to remind him.
