This is your somewhat regularly scheduled Stop Killing Games update.
Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
Germany has hit the threshold sometime yesterday evening. France has also started to catch up. They are still below 50% but there growth over the last couple of days has been the biggest. Netherlands and Denmark are still in the low 90s.
The milestone comes on the eve of this years Gamescom in Cologne, Germany which is set to kick off today. SKG is not going to have an official presence there. (I've checked with the organisers) But if you are attending and want to help spread the word I'm happy to share official marketing material, either in the form of flyers or the files for flyers, so you can print your own. They come in both German and English. If you want some, send me a DM.

Ah thanks, I thought it's like change.org or something that verify email and IP address only. Again, not an EU citizen so I don't know any of this stuff.
Edit: aaaannnnddd I'm getting downvoted to hell because I'm trying to help. Typical Lemmy experience.
This is not some informal petitioning website. This is an official EU commission citizen petition. After the goal is reached the commission will look into it and take legislative steps if they see the need or address it in a way they see fit. Then it goes through the normal eu institutions. I believe this is a lot more powerful than random change.org petitions.
I appreciate the effort, but it doesn't really help if we just get a bunch of invalid signatures
yeah, I'm trying to help, but I don't know the details, so I ASKED. Is that wrong?
People on Lemmy are just super trigger-happy with downvotes. Best to ignore it.
