Stop Killing Games launches NGOs in EU and US

Feb 22nd 2026

Ross Scott’s campaign is forming two formal nonprofit organizations to lobby regulators, monitor game shutdowns and push for legal fixes after The Crew controversy.

  • Stop Killing Games is creating two official NGOs, one based in the European Union and one in the United States.
  • The movement grew from Ross Scott’s response to Ubisoft’s shutdown of The Crew in 2024 and a petition that reached 1.3 million signatures.
  • The NGOs plan long term lobbying to try to add the Citizens Initiative to the Digital Fairness Act or influence the Digital Content Directive revision.
  • Moritz Katzner will lead day to day operations while Scott steps back to an endorsement role.
  • The groups aim to provide watchdog tools, multilingual reporting resources for shutdowns, and pursue possible global expansion.
