Stop Killing Games has taken a major step forward in its mission by supporting a new California bill designed to protect players when online games are discontinued.
In 2024, the “Stop Killing Games” campaign gained widespread attention for its efforts to prevent developers from abandoning online games and services after official support ends—similar to what happened with the game Anthem. The movement advocates for protecting players when games are effectively shut down.
Stop Killing Games is working to protect players’ investments when online games shut down. They want to ensure that if a game becomes unplayable shortly after purchase, fans receive fair compensation. Now, they’re officially supporting a new California bill designed to make this happen.
What is the proposed California Bill?
The “Stop Killing Games” movement, first reported by Pirat_Nation on X, is now supporting a California bill that aims to protect players when online games are discontinued.
The ‘Stop Killing Games’ campaign is now supporting a new California law that aims to protect gamers when online games are discontinued. The bill would require game publishers to either offer an offline version of the game or ensure players can still access it even after the online servers are shut down.

A new California law requires game publishers to let players continue playing games they’ve purchased, even after the game’s servers are no longer running. If a publisher can’t offer that continued access or support, they must provide a full refund to players.
The bill Stop Killing Games supports in California is currently just a proposal. This means it’s still being worked on – it needs to be discussed, potentially changed, and then approved by both Congress and the President before it can actually become a law.
Although it hasn’t been made official yet, this is a major win for the Stop Killing Games campaign and could lead to better experiences in future online games that are constantly updated.
