    Might this become the fastest petition to reach the requirements?

    IINM, just because a country reaches the threshold, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t stop going. It would also be sufficient to have 1M signatures in 7 countries.

        I agree, it’s unfortunate that they are only focusing on improving their way of having fun and being distracted from real world issues (necessary but shouldn’t stop them from fulfilling their democratic duties). However, if stop killing games is successful, it might make this way of influencing policy visible to others probably less interested in politics.

        I signed all of those BTW. Had done so a while ago.

        Even more pathetic to see that the petition is not a very good one but does “just enough” to solve a problem only to cause another one

          Did you watch pirategames shilling for the big studios? He doesn’t even propose solutions or start his own petition. He just complains about how it would impact poor old him in some theoretical scenario.

          Don’t fall for it. It’s like a poor person complaining about taxes for the rich because they might get rich someday (probably never). Rich people have to pay their fair share and gamedevs should stop making games that die when you unplug a server. They did before, they can do it again. They don’t want to because subscriptions make more steady money.

          Don’t be a shill.

            Its easy to call Thor a shill cause hes making a live service game but some of what he says is valid.

            Even ross himself considers games “art” so imagine if you painted a really nice piece and then someone takes it and adds a little modifications or straight up takes that same piece and begins to profit out of it.

            That is a detail that matters the most because no artist wants their work to “practically” be stolen

            Disappointingly ross never addressed that in his video where he “explains it all”
