This edited version does not distort the meaning or message of the original video.

Speaking in the European Parliament on 21 May 2026, Uhrík argues that video games are being damaged by both cultural politics and aggressive monetisation. He criticises what he calls “woke ideology” and political correctness in modern games, referring to character choices and recent debates around representation in major titles such as Assassin’s Creed. He then turns to the commercial side of the industry, attacking microtransactions, pay-to-win mechanics, gambling-style loot boxes, and the shutdown of game servers after players have already bought a game.

Milan Uhrík is a Slovak Member of the European Parliament from Hnutie Republika and Vice-Chair of the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group. His intervention came during the EU Parliament debate on the European Citizens’ Initiative officially titled “Stop destroying videogames”, widely known online as Stop Killing Games.

The Stop Killing Games campaign, associated with Ross Scott and Accursed Farms, has pushed the issue of digital ownership, game preservation, live-service shutdowns, consumer rights, and whether publishers should be allowed to make paid games unplayable after ending support. This European Parliament debate brought those concerns into the political mainstream, with MEPs discussing server shutdowns, online-only games, loot boxes, microtransactions, game preservation, and the rights of players who buy digital products.

This clip captures Uhrík’s full intervention, including his remarks on “wokeness”, monetisation, loot boxes, pay-to-win systems, and the demand for fairer treatment of video game players. #stopkillinggames @Accursed_Farms
