Video Games Europe has posted official position about "Stop Killing Games" initiative. They're not very happy.
Link: [https://www.videogameseurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/VGE-Position-Discontinuation-of-Support-to-Online-Games-04072025.pdf](https://www.videogameseurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/VGE-Position-Discontinuation-of-Support-to-Online-Games-04072025.pdf)
Video Game Europe - a trade association with many major game publishers across Europe, including Riot Games, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzards and many others, recently has published an official position paper, and they're mostly against the "Stop Killing Game" initiative.
Here some of the claims:
* If private servers are allowed, they won’t be able to moderate harmful content or enforce anti-cheat measures.
* Allowing players to run private servers would present significant engineering and architectural challenges , due to the fact they may be done with proprietary technologies and systems.
* Reputational Harm: Allowing players to run private servers, with online interaction possibilities could result in players using those games in ways that don’t align with the games companies’ brand values
Some of the claims in document kinda make sense, but IMO most of them are bullshit, What do you think?

Saw these cases being used as decoration at Disneyland. What are they and why are they so huge?
