EU Complaint Challenges Stop Killing Games Initiative's Founder Over Alleged Financial Disclosure Violations

The Stop Killing Games movement faces an EU complaint questioning the founder's disclosure of voluntary contributions amid a successful petition drive.

The Stop Killing Games movement recently achieved a significant milestone, collecting 1.4 million signatures for its European Citizens’ Initiative. However, this success has been met with challenges, including a complaint filled with the EU that questions the initiative’s founder, Ross Scott, for allegedly failing to disclose contributions he never made.

According to the complaint, the accusations stem from supposed violations regarding the reporting of any contributions exceeding €500. Despite claims of possible non-compliance, Scott defended the integrity of their operation, stating that any voluntary support he provided is not required to be reported under EU regulations.

“It’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you,” said Scott during a recent YouTube video addressing the allegations.
“Ce n’est pas de la paranoïa s’ils cherchent vraiment à vous avoir” (It’s not paranoia if they really are out to get you).

The movement’s goal is to enforce regulations that would mandate game publishers to provide proper support for games even after official support has ended, ensuring a better deal for consumers.

As they move forward, the initiative faces scrutiny and potential roadblocks, demonstrating the challenges of advocacy in the gaming industry.
