There is still 10 days left. Even though the stretch goals were met, you can still sign.
If you haven't already and you live in the EU (they will check), you can sign here: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
Is it in the game vendors' interest to do that? No. And they have more money than the gamers.
So... Cute petition, but sadly you can be absolutely certain it ain't going nowhere.
People said that about slave traders, child labour, asbestos manufacturing…
Ok unplugging servers kinda sucks but it’s nowhere near as bad as the things you mentioned lol. It’s like this survey that voted EA as the worst company.
All famously solved by an online petition
Apple didn't want to switch to USB-C, now they use it. Almost all manufacturers didn't want replaceable batteries, in a short while they'll have to. The EU, despite not being perfect, is a functioning entity and therefore can force vendors regardless of their desire.
Apple was already using USB C everywhere else. They were using it rather early. You can debate about how fast they should kill lightning after its introduction (before USB-C was finalized), but the EU didn’t single handedly make Apple consider USB-C on iPhones.

While it's easy to be pessimistic about this. This is one of the few options to make actual change. Leaving thing as they are is a worse situation since it means that companies like Ubisoft can and will destroy the games which we own.
Will there be resistance? Yes Ubisoft is already stated their opposition to it.)
But it's not up to companies like Ubisoft for how the EU makes it's laws, it's up to the EU itself. When there is potentially 1.4 million people in Europe telling you to "stop killing games" it's going to be hard to tell them no.
Behold, an intellectual cuck.
That's a cute set of downvotes you got there.
Some of them may be invalidated, keep dispensing them people!
this is not simply a petition, it's a tool for bringing issues in front of the eu parliament, which has to address it. it's a kinda new thing, and untested, but it looks pretty functional for now. also, Nicolae Ștefănuță, vice president of the eu parliament, has openly supported this citizens initiative.
not all countries are as dysfunctional as the US, and i'm sorry for you that your government sucks ass. But if this works, it will be positive for every gamer worldwide, so maybe you get to enjoy more consumer protection than before.
We just hit 1.6M votes to "debate" a horrible law that's in the passing here in France (re-allowing cancerous anti pest substances and more), we should have aimed at the EU level instead!
