Remember to keep signing the petition even after it gets 1 million! Every single signature over 1 million makes it that much more likely to actually get accepted!
Worth adding that this is because the validation process may disqualify some signatures, dropping the total below a million.
If we get a million legitimate signatures, the EU comission is not allowed to simply reject the initiative.
Thanks! I was actually just about to come back and edit it to include that lol.
Ok ok, I'll sign again.
No not like that!
Bad!

The number keeps climbing even though it's late at night over there! I expect it might slow a bit over the next few hours, but at this rate, we'll beat it before 11:59pm CEST!
50k more to the goal!
Edit: goal reached before 5:45PM CEST!
95% now. Back of the envelope says around 4 hours to go at the current rate of signing so 15:30 in Central Europe / 14:30 UK and Ireland, give or take.
I'll be in the middle of watching 28 years later \o/
Great to see some good news.
Ironically, this latest push is mostly due to Piratesoftware being his usual self.
Wow this is incredible!

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from destroying older games with kill switches.
The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.
