Thank you!🫡 I shared this on c/Helldivers 2

Zero point whatsoever signing the UK one, the British govt just ignores petitions and even.if a parlimentary discussion is triggered hell be 7 people and a cat in the chamber vaguely discussing it for about 20 seconds.
'The government is stupid and broken so what we should do about that is nothing'
Better to have tried and failed that not tried at all, its not like signing a webform is a massive waste of time and energy.
Feel free to disagree as I still think it's important to try our best even for the UK petition as UK gamers will be shown how their government acts when it comes to the ownership of their games.
If the UK's government acts like a clown, I'm not sure UK's gamers/Helldivers will take it so easily.
Everyone here knows our govt is a bit shit mate, they already responded at 10k with the usual "piss off" reply.
Pinning this for 7 days.
2025-07-10 Update: I'm keeping this post pinned until July 31st or the EU initiative reaches 1.4 million. Whichever comes first.
Much appreciated🫡
I honestly really hope this initiative succeeds. I'm so sick of this shit we frequently have to deal with.
Good news divers a whole ceremony representing the initiative meeting the agenda is to happen. This means the EU will be genuinely looking at this demand and hopefully craft a policy that will allow games to remain playable even if the developers and publishers have moved on
Mission Briefing:
You’ll Own Nothing | Stop Killing Games, ft. Ross of Accursed Farms
Objective:
Prevent the Death of Future Games.
Tools:
Sign the Pledge and Share With Fellow Gamers🫡💪
The UK government's response to the petition is an extremely long winded way of entirely missing the point surely? The main thing is offline games which should theoretically work indefinitely assuming the hardware and operating system is the same.
Although it does make me wish we could go back to self hosting fps servers, those were the days..
I'll attempt to echo Ross Scott:
The approximate end goal of the Stop Killing Games intiative is to:
- prevent publishers from killing games where consumers/gamers were not
informedbriefed that what they paid for was a live service game. - and/or have the live service game in any manner of a playable state when they decide to pull the plug.
As to how the UK's government will respond will be up to them.
Will they come in clutch for Divers, UK consumers, and fellow gamers? or will they fumble the ball?
- It's up to them to decide how they should act.

On a Helldiver level we should be looking to pressure AH into getting ahead of the curve rahter than wait for legislation/regulation. Like Imagine instead of being forever bound to J.O.E.L. HD2 has tools allowing for players to run thier own seperate galactic wars be it solo or even communty wide.
(like maybe this community has it's own server where the mods are J.O.E.L.)
