The had the "We the people" platform, started by Obama. But Trump started ripping it a part, and Biden pulled the plug on his first day in the office. And even then instead of being people driven, the US administration would choose what they want to address or not. For all the excesses of EU bureaucracy, there are plenty cases like this where it prevents politicians from ignoring people's concerns; they can still refuse to act, but at least the petition system forces them to go on record.

From Belgium it was also necessary to provide your social security number. And as more EU countries are moving towards e-id, I would assume there will be a negligible amount of non-EU signings.

Don't worry too much. If the EU passes legislation for this, you'll likely benefit from it as well, similar to all the other pro consumer things spilling over.

Thankfully for publishers and unfortunately for us, it is not retroactive. But I do wish that it was.

These posts are borderline spam, just to save a few shitty live service games.

For me i had to write my personal number which is not something you could just guess on the fly so i dont think its so easy to fake signatures.

https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ If you have time to complain, you have time to sign! Not EU citizen? Then spread the word!

If you're gonna be a troll you can at least be good at it.

Who is "Ross"?

Just logged in via CSAM, didn't need to take out my eID or enter INSZ.

if the game you bought isnt really yours, than sailing the high seas isnt really theft. I love the EU for their consumer rights agendas.

I'm actually going to remove my downvote and reserve judgement until a response. What games do you play, and what games do you think this movement is targeting?

from Friends obviously

VideogameRoos is a youtube guy who really pioneered this whole movement. He has a series devoted to really old niche games that is really interesting (Ross' Game Dungeon). I'd highly reccomend looking into his standard content and the don't kil games afterward.

Looks like it’s time for the reverse engineering folks to come in.

... dafuq?

It is. There's no system to check if signature exists in your country's ID list. Random number generator +random name generator is enough to "validate" the vote.

> Edit: Also his voiceover halflife series is likely the best protagonist commentary series ever. It is. hard to say why but it's quite compelling.

Huh thats stupid. You would think they have a database which they check a hash against at least or something. For the user it would look like everything is excepted but in the backend they would only count the valid ones so you cant brute force it. But of course governments never think about stuff like this so why did i expect it was like this.
