KEEP SIGNING EVEN AFTER THE THRESHOLD HAS BEEN REACHED!
Signatures will be checked and, historically, 10% to 20% of signatures have been invalidated.
So we need to get at least 1.3 million signatures to be completely safe.
KEEP SHARING!
Either stopkillinggames.com has crashed...
Or the counter has exceeded its max possible value.
UPDATE:
We've done it.
Don't stop signing up!
Get these damn numbers as high as they can go!

Fuck July 4th.

This is our independence day.
Given the impressive increase in signing rate, I'm a bit afraid it'll turn out to have been tampered with
FOMO, popularity and trending algorithms are powerful forces.
Yes, that's why it's important to gather more than 1 million signatures. At least 1.3 million to be on the safe side.
At the end of the collection, all invalid signatures will be deducted from the total.
So now it's more important than ever to keep sharing and signing.
Big youtubers like Jacksep are also promoting the partition
I'm also afraid of this
I went to sign and it told me I already signed. I did it like one year ago
We in overdrive, baby!
yayy! nearly there
99% !!!
An important reminder that if this can be enacted into law, there is a chance it would not only apply to games but also at some point maybe to all software that does not require a server to operate most basic functions (ie. looking at you adobe)
Sign it, and get your friends and family to sign it because the proposal is pretty common sense: if you buy something, you should own it.
Another reminder that if enacted, in practice this is not only for Europeans.
If games have to be reasonably playable in Europe then they will be reasonably playable everywhere.
This benefits all consumers one way or another.
More importantly though, for everything, like the comment I'm replying to mentions: If you buy something you should own it.
You don’t need any ID to sign it, so you can sign it on their behalf if they give you verbal permission.
Personally hoping this opens the door to discussing planned obsolescence in the digital realm as a whole, from games to software. It's corporate wild west over here.
Sign it, and get your friends and family to sign it because the proposal is pretty common sense: if you buy something, you should own it.
ESPECIALLY when it's advertised as ownership and not a rental service.
This is mainly why I signed it. I honestly don't care about new games, and the whole narrative around the campaign is frankly infantile, but it should at the very least be a start towards fighting such practices in general.
I'll agree to disagree, but nevertheless thank you for your support.
You're infantile
UK petition has less than 5k to go!
WTF! How did it hit target already? Hope there wasn't any bot farming involved...
Otherwise, pleasantly surprised!
Don't think it's bot farming. There's a lot of muscle being thrown around and it's trending.
Remember everyone, 1 million is a MINIMUM goal. Keep signing afterwards if/when we reach the milestone, as some signatures can be declared invalid due to errors like wrong spelling, so we need every single person we can get in the EU to sign this!
Let's gooooooooo!!!!!!!!
100k left
Shared the link. Hope you guys get the numbers you need 🙏🏽
Do I have to be a citizen of the EU or just live there? I'm going to be moving to Sweden soon but won't be a citizen for a long while still
Citizens only I'm afraid. You can still help though by spreading this around, if any of your friends are EU citizens they can help.
