Safe to say the petition was a success! Now we will have to wait and see the EU’s response to it.

Hope every gaming company out there is sweating buckets at this. This is a matter of consumer rights.
We don’t want them to sweat, we just want them to do the right thing by their customers
The only way I see that happen is having the tools and ability to pirate any and all media like we had back in the napster days. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen these companies scared. A petition I don’t think will do much. Plus not only is there this issue. There is also the issue of groups now targeting the way funding works like on steam. Payment processes are now being used to apply pressure where certain groups do not like the content.
The solution was always to defend and protect the people who cracked and pirated content. But I think they were all locked up and threatened.
This isn’t just any regular change.org petition, that can be ignored. It’s an official partition based on EU rules, where EU parliament is forced by law to listen to the initiators and talk about the topic, when it passes.
They hire like two lobbyists with 100k of splurge money and this won’t pass, for sure.
If voting or filling a petition changed anything they would make it illegal.
The EU is not swayed by this kind of thing easily.
America brain, Its like they think everyone is in the same dystopia as them.
You know the guy who started this petition is an American, right?
I was under the impression that Ross Scott lived in Poland, but what does that matter its an EU and UK initiative.
By the way, the left could have done this for any number of issues in the past but refused to.
Like how hard would it have been if everyone who showed up to a George Floyd protest instead donated to some fund that then went to paying a lobbyist/think tank to work for them in Washington to change laws and make sure the police officers and department actually saw justice.
It would be more effective to get a quarter of 1.4 million people organized with united demands and on the streets of Brussels with the actual risk of projecting threat violence on EU bureaucrats, then StopKillingGames or any petition or demand would have a much better chance of passing. At that point you wouldn’t even need collect any names before hand :) All the voting, all the petitions all the representation only exists to act as an filter and push the little people people and their little people idea’s far away from actual power as possible.
I’ll be positively surprised if this passes, but I really really really doubt it. Too much money at stake here just for the sake of having some pro consumer common sense.
The EU has gotten us pro consumer common sense a number of times already, like with iPhones and the GDPR.
