While everyone should sign it, the campaign is about publishers that kill games that could conceivably remain working.
De-listing is likely a result of expired licensing or similar, and I don’t think it’s feasible (or realistic) to require companies to renew licenses in perpetuity just to keep selling games.
Friendly reminder to sign the StopKillingGames petition to avoid bullshit like this in the future.

While I agree with the sentiment: It won’t be killed, “just” de-listed from sale. If you buy it now, you can still p/ay it.
Although an end-of-life plan would probably make it easier for the publishers to still sell the game after licences expire.
Delisting a game goes against the point of game preservation. The trick of “buy it now to keep it” sounds like FOMO.
You think publishers should not be allowed to decide when they want to stop selling their goods?
It’s still not what the initiative is asking for (in the EU)
