It's amazing what a difference a little bit of time can make: Two years after kicking off what looked to be a long-shot campaign to push back on the practice of shutting down server-dependent videogames once they're no longer profitable, Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and organizer Moritz Katzner appeared in front of the European Parliament to present their case—and it seemed to go very well.

I'm pretty sure he wanted the Stop Destroying Games crew to take over after signatures passed, but someone must have told him he's the face of the campaign now :p

    I found where he talks about it https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?t=52m44s

    He essentially says "ya there are no next steps, so if this fails, I'm done, not because I don't care anymore but because there's nothing left to do!" I don't think he wanted to be the one in charge in the first place xD
