Stop Killing Games to be debated by UK government in big boost to petition

by admin



The Stop Killing Games movement has received a big boost as the British government has finally set a date to debate the long-standing petition. 

Stop Killing Games, otherwise known as SKG, has been around since April 2024, when a petition was set up by YouTuber Accursed Farms, real name Ross Scott. As the movement’s name suggests, SKG wants to stop publishers from effectively ‘killing’ live-service games once official developer support has stopped. 

The petition has been targeted at the European Union, and surpassed it’s goal of achieving 1 million signatures to back it.

And while it has yet to be debated by Members of European Parliament, it has made it’s mark with one big government – the United Kingdom. 

UK politicians debating Stop Killing Games in November

That’s right, on September 19, the UK Government confirmed that they had organised a debate on the petition for November 3. 

All 190,000 backers of the petition received an email revealing that they’ll be able to watch the debate on the UK Parliament YouTube channel.

“Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – Prohibit publishers irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold. The debate is scheduled for 3 November 2025. Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript,” the message reads.

DexertoAll backers of SKG recieved an email about the debate.

This is not the first time that the government has addressed the petition. Back in February 2025, they stated: “There are no plans to amend UK consumer law on disabling video games. Those selling games must comply with existing requirements in consumer law, and we will continue to monitor this issue.”

Obviously, since then, the petition has gone on to break its goal of 1 million signatures, showing there is plenty of support behind it, and it’s not just a flash-in-the-pan type of movement.

This debate will likely beat the European Union too, as they are still collecting supporting documents and comments on SKG’s petition until October 24. It will then take some time before it is brought to the parliament’s floor.

Naughty Dog Debated Going Straight Into The Last Of Us Part III After Part II

by admin


Naughty Dog president and The Last of Us director Neil Druckmann has seemingly revealed that The Last of Us Part III is, at the very least, an idea that’s been floated at the studio. In a new interview with Variety, Druckmann says Naughty Dog debated going straight into Part III after completing Part II, but that ultimately, the team decided to move forward on what we now know as Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. 

While a Part III to The Last of Us seems like a no-brainer, considering how well this franchise does for Naughty Dog and PlayStation, Druckmann has given mixed signals over the years. When The Last of Us Part II Remastered dropped last year, it eventually included Grounded II, a documentary about the making of the game. 

 

Near the end of it, Druckmann said, “For years now, I haven’t been able to find that concept [for Part III], but recently, that’s changed, and I don’t have a story, but I do have a conept that to me is as exciting as 1, as exciting as 2, is its own thing, and yet has this throughline for all three. So it does feel like there’s probably one more chapter to this story.” 

But then, in a March 2025 Variety interview, Druckmann, when asked about a potential Part III, said, “I guess the only thing I would say is don’t be on there being more of The Last of Us. This could be it.” 

Now, in a new interview with Variety, Druckmann has seemingly revealed that Naughty Dog, at one point, had plans regarding a Part III game in its Last of Us franchise. 

When asked about potential Intergalactic sequels, Druckmann said, “We don’t tend to plan too much in the future, because we find – and this is something I inherited, it’s just the Naughty Dog culture – that we do our best work when it’s something we’re really excited about, really passionate about.

“Just to give you an example, when we finished The Last of Us Part II, and that was highly successful for us, we were debating whether we should just go straight into The Last of Us 3, and we had a really long period where we looked at ideas for maybe what could be in that game.” 

The team looked at Uncharted, Jak and Daxter, and its “sci-fi thing,” though, and Druckmann said what is now Intergalactic is where the team’s passion led it. 

So for now, it sounds like a third Last of Us game is on the theoretical or potential table as Naughty Dog continues work on Intergalactic. 

For more, read Druckmann’s thoughts on the casting and gameplay of Intergalactic, and then check out Game Informer’s interview with Druckmann on the set of The Last of Us Season 2.
