Holy shit, it’s at 994,000, only 6000 votes left. It’s going to succeed!
Already at 997,500, pretty sure it’ll succeed within a couple of hours. Absolutely amazing to see this, so excited for the inevitable video from Ross!
Sign the petition even if it’s surpassed 1mil signatures by the time you read this! The signatures will be verified after the petition is complete. This could lead to removal of any number of them. We don’t want to barely make it. Let’s go as high as possible!
Help a non-European understand… So, if you get enough signatures, it becomes law? Direct democracy?
No, there’s no way to automatically make something become law. A successful petition just forces the European Commission to discuss it and potentially propose legislation. Even though it’s not forcing anything to happen, there is an incentive for the commission to seriously consider it as there is probably a political cost to officially denying a motion that has proven that it concerns a large amount of people.
Can someone explain to me why Pirate Software has such a big problem with it, I tried to look it up and I’m still struggling to understand.
He thinks the initiative’s goal isn’t clear and passing a law based on an unclear direction would effectively kill all live service games.
The problem is, reason behind making a law about it is clarifying how to approach this problem in the first place.
I don’t think “killing all live servoce games” would even be bad at this point. When I ran dedicated servers back in the day that was much better.
PoE is pretty cool. Eve must be live service. Neither can be bought and hence would likely be unaffected. With regard to PoE you could make an argument for the contrary, to be fair.
Battlefield and CoD on the other hand…
Eh, I played Diablo and Diablo 2. You can’t tell me they wouldn’t be better if I ran a dedicated server. With mods. Heh
I can. The value of path of exile is in part it’s economy. It is not meant as a single player game for the average player. You drop loot for everyone and need your loot which dropped for everyone else.
800k!!! 🥁
876k now - at this speed it will be done tomorrow, or at latest in 2 days!
898k. I’m very happy this is happening. but I’m worried about how sudden the signatures started coming in, there was a chart somewhere. Hopefully they are valid.
Since you need an Digital ID to sign, given by your government, i can’t think of many issues.
e: i just looked since it was a while since i signed - you need to give your Passport number to sign, or use eID.
that’s good to know. when I signed last year I think it was enough to type in my id card’s number and my name and location.
Probably specific by country then because I didn’t have to show any ID. FWIW
“To sign, you must provide a set of personal data, which is required by the authorities of your country for verification purposes.” which is as of a week ago and still today :
- nationality
- name
- birth date
- address
apparently polish people get so little verification that a friend of mine signed the petition 14 times with his name, adding a random letter each time
Your friend is not very clever, is he?
You got a point there haha
