I know these rarely have any sway with our governments and there is more important things in the world atm, but it’s getting close to the end now and it’s worth a reminder.
They’re not getting half a million signatures in less than a week a man. I want to see this succeed but we again, there’s clearly a need to move on to the next initiative/strategy.
I do think grant funding and support from a few big dogs would go a long way to create more pressure on companies to participate at least initially. I don’t know if there is enough political will anywhere to legislate this problem away.
If there is that will, then maybe it needs to start with one or two nations. The whole EU is a tall order
31st July is not a less than a week from now, dude…

I’m only showing this because that’s what I was going off of. The petitions themselves have different dates. You are likely correct, but just felt it behooved me to at least show where I got those dates from
I think it’s also important to point out that the UK government has responded saying they are not amending anything so the number is irrelevant at least for that one.
That is false, PC Gamer screwed up. Here are both pages of the initiative itself:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007
Deadlines are in the upper right. And as you can see, it does NOT say July 3rd.
I feel like I clearly laid this out. I added a bit right after commenting. You may have looked at my response within seconds and missed it.
Yes, I may have jumped the gun, I apologize. What this initiative is trying to do is important to me and between Pirate Software lying his face off and one of the most prolific gaming publications not getting their facts straight… The amount of misinformation being spread around this topic just hurts my soul.
