As stated in the first sentence POG stands for “Protect Our Games”. For a quick overview of the bills content I’m just going to quote Wikipedia (emphasis by me):

In February 2026, the Protect Our Games Act was introduced. Initially proposed by California State Assembly member Chris Ward in February of that year, the bill would require publishers to inform consumers 60 days in advance about a game ending support and to provide clear information about the game’s functionality after its end-of-life. The bill would also prohibit companies from selling a game two months before their discontinuation and require them to provide either a patch for the game to function independently of the publisher’s servers, a separate version of the game that operates autonomously in the same vein or a full product return.

TLDR: it’s a bill that would, if implemented, mandate the things Stop Killing Games wants.

Yes it is

Pretty much

They don’t choose the platform, the platforms choose them. Under EU regulation WhatsApp as a “gatekeeper” has to give access to any other platform operating in the EU if they request it. Threema, Signal and co simply aren’t interested.

And if you don’t have an unique public IP address, for example because you are behind CGNAT, you can use Pangolin. It tunnels all traffic from your homelab to a VPS via Wireguard and exposes your services via a Traefik reverse proxy. Pangolin also automates the Traefik setup and provides a webui to configure the individual proxies.

For a VPS I recommended ionos, because they offer servers with unlimited traffic starting at only 1€ per month with server locations in both Europe and the US.

And one of the other investors is Jared Kushner

Turns out people need villains with faces. And the gaming industry wasn’t personable enough to truly hate.

You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It’s what I use for my setup.

A UK petition is in the works. It might take some time until that goes up because your election a couple of months ago reset a lot of work, but it’s comming

Yes there was one but the Tories didn’t have anything to do with it closing, at least not directly. If an election happens all open petitions are closed as a matter of process, because “it’s a new parliament”. And then you need to resubmit.

A UK petition is in the works. But it might take a month or two until that goes online.

As far as the initative is concerned such a game would not be covered.

However there is a chance that shutting down the servers and therefore robbing players of part of the product they bought is already illegal under EU law. And if that’s the case then it will ultimately up to whatever consumer protection agency takes on the case. (The initiative has been trying to get either the French or German organisation on the case for months)

There is a UK petition in the works. It’s not quite ready yet, because thanks to your recent election the team behind the initiative had to redo all of their work. (Your government requires everybody to resubmit petitions if a new parliament is elected)

Right, I knew I forgot to mention something in my post. 1000% this

Also just getting 100% in 7 countries is not ging to be enough to reach 1 million votes total.

So you should keep signing it either way. Every vote still counts
