Protestors from the environmentalist group Just Stop Oil interrupted the UK's biggest gaming event, EGX, by rushing the stage during a Tekken tournament and covering the monitors with orange paint. Three members of the group gave a speech before being swiftly removed by security. Just Stop Oil wants the British government to end new fossil fuel licensing and production, but their methods, including vandalism, have received criticism.
