Dear Community,

we weren’t able to share a proper update before Christmas, so here’s a brief overview of what’s currently happening:

We published a statement on the current situation involving the United States government and what it may mean for Stop Killing Games and the broader political landscape. As a rule, we do not comment on day-to-day political developments, as we see ourselves as a bipartisan initiative, and that remains unchanged. However, attacks on European citizens and lawmakers are unacceptable, regardless of what one may think of their individual proposals or ideas. This is especially relevant when those attacks target the very laws we are already operating under, or are actively seeking to add to (DFA, DCD, etc.). Digital sovereignty does not end where the interests of U.S. billionaires begin, and it certainly does not end when those interests are translated into government pressure.

We are launching a supporter spotlight series, beginning with MEP Tiemo Wölken (S&D). In parallel, we will also start introducing members of our team. Once our website has been redesigned, all of this information will be available in one central place.

I have been in Washington, D.C. on behalf of the SKG community, which is also why some announcements took longer than planned. During this visit, we met with a very promising group that will take the lead for SKG in the United States. For anyone interested in supporting these efforts, we are currently preparing materials outlining why this initiative has a real chance of success.

A good new year to you all,

Moritz for the Community Team and SKG Global
