That's because it is corp. Videogames Europe is the lobbying organisation of the Euopean gaming indusry
It's also a strawman argument. Because yes, developers have less to no control over the operation of private servers. Yes, that means they can't moderate those servers.
But
This initiative only covers games, not supported anymore by the devs anyway. Meaning legally speaking everything happening to private servers would be literally not their concern anymore. And new legislation, should it come to that, would spell that out.
why this does not happen at the time of signing is beyond me but whatever
Data protection. The EU doesn't do the validation, they don't even have the data necessary for it. That job falls to the national governments. But why share the data if the initiative wasn't successful in the first place.
Nah, the API is still returning data, the database seems to not be affected. It's just to many people trying to access the site simultaneously, accidentally DDOSing the server
Don't get too excited, because this is a prototype (by Timothée Giet) and isn't connected to #krita itself. But... You can get a feel of the way the workflow goes. I was really satisfied playing with it on my phone.

Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Now both of those goals have been reached. But that's no reason to stop signing! Some signatures will get thrown out in the validation phase because the signee made a mistake. So keep signing and show the world just how many people are in favour of saving videogames.

It won't give you any information right now as the API is down as well but that's the pace to check once the EU gets their servers up and running again

Those national thresholds have been thresholds have been reached. Now it's all about getting to 1 million signatures total.
Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

Bazzite:
tl,dr: it's a Pixelfed instance by and for native people in Latin America
This is your friendly reminder, that the Stop Kiling Games campaign is still running. I haven't been posting updates for a while, because progress has slowed considerably over the last month and there hasn't been anything to write about. But it feels relevant here.
(Campaign only running in select jurisdictions, the US is not one if them)
It's bazzite with a custom UI instead of Steam Big Picture and no desktop mode. Their big claim seems to be that they say that they have solved anti cheat on Linux: the system generates a checksum of the kernel space, the anti cheat then compares this checksum with the one on file. No custom kernel module needed on the part of the anti cheat dev. At least in theory.
It's the German version of me_irl. Stands for "Ich _ im echten Leben" and is a direct translation of the English
That part of the argument is slightly different. If I understand the press statement correctly, what they are saying is: "Some servers can't, on a technical level, be hosted by the community". And that's not a straw man (arguing against something never asked for), that's just a lie. We have access to all the same stuff as the industry (AWS etc). Hosting these kinds of servers might be very expensive, but the initiative only asks for a way to keep games alive not for a cheap way (though I would prefer a cheap way of course)
