=== Stop Killing Games === A friend of mine pointed me at that campaign. I've not played a lot of video games and don't own any of the games affected by that, but I am a gamer and I value preservation of old games that come to the end of their supported life. I am especially interested in the various different attempts that Ross Scott made to engage with different consumer protection organisations in different countries around the world. I think think that deconstructing Stop Killing Games and documenting the various consumer protection agencies, how they work and how large-scale consumer complaints can be put to those organisations would be valuable to Consumer Rights Wiki. (If, for example, a specific consumer issue, such as EULAs that prevent use of purchased goods, without the user agreeing to forced arbitration, could be fully documented on Consumer Rights Wiki, enough evidence could be gathered to copy things like the European Citizens' Initiative that Stop Killing Games supporters in the EU created.) I don't think that Consumer Rights Wiki needs to go into too much detail, but if basic instructions for identifying who deals with stuff and how to complain to them in an effective way is on here somewhere, that might be useful for organising groups of people, within the Consumer Rights Wiki userbase, who wish to actually go beyond documenting abuse and move into campaign against the abuse. (I think this would be an extension of the parts of the wiki that deal with lawsuits that involve consumer rights. And it should be something that only covers the subject to a similar amount. For example, when an organisation that represents video game manufacturers in the European Union made a statement suggesting that Stop Killing Games was not a good thing, that could be used as evidence that the organisation attempts to gaslight consumer activists.)
