Stop Killing Games Warns EU Kids Act Threatens Gaming Industry

Advocacy group Stop Killing Games criticized the EU Kids Act, proposed on September 17, 2026, calling it the most draconian gaming legislation yet. Ross Scott says it would require personal identifying information to play online games and make private servers illegal.

• EU Kids Act was proposed by the European Commission on September 17, 2026
• The 99-page proposal sets safety-by-design rules for games and chatbots
• Stop Killing Games: law would require PII for online games and ban private servers
• The proposal is at an early stage and will likely be amended
