EU's petition to Stop Killing Games: 331k/1000k signatures and 4/7 countries over threshold. Next Denmark and Netherlands +95% threshold, but no 7th EU's country nearby (closest is Ireland with 66%) (eci.ec.europa.eu)

I did what I could: Signed the petition, sent it to some friends, who signed it as well

No stress, it's almost a year before the deadline and we're already ⅓ of the way. Might be good to somehow get a gaming YouTuber to mention this – that would bring a ton of signatures at once.

If RTGame name-dropped this campaign, Ireland would be over the threshold the very next day.

I tried to sign it but I forgot that the UK isn't in the EU anymore 😞

Malta and Cypress will be the last milestone to push to 100%

[–] Tyoda@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

AFAIK the requirements are 1 million signers and at least 7 countries over the threshold. Once seven is reached, that no longer matters, only the total count.

Sweden was first over the threshold but Poland doing its best to beat their percentage. Love to see that.

I like that it is this easy to vote without eID, since eID is a pain in the ass.

But I fear how easy it is. Country+national ID number +name+surname? A lot of people have that information about me. It would not be hard to cheat if someone wanted to.

EDIT: corporations have that combination of data of all their employees, for example.

Go in all on it, make PirateSoftware pay for his sin of making an indie live service.

Dear Irish friends, go at it!
