Hope every gaming company out there is sweating buckets at this. This is a matter of consumer rights.

I've recently gotten back into (indie) game dev and made my multiplayer game with Stop Killing Games in mind. When you connect to the game, if the server is down, you get a one-click solution to run the server locally and play single player instead.
This setup actually helped speed up development too, since now I don't need to run both the server and client when making (most) changes :)
If only the "tax the rich" petition had such a great villain to reinvigorate interest, but I take what I can get.
This is an EU petition, not the US.
Doomers coming out in force today
???
What does the US have to do with anything I said?
Many countries in the EU already tax the rich. I mean, it could be better. It could be a lot better, and we still have right-wing types that try to destroy that positive element within the EU.
But of all the countries that would benefit the most from heavily taxing the rich, it would be the US. And since the US has made itself the centre of all the world's attention, and the whole world still uses the USD as the primary exchange currency, anything that would shake up the economy of the US would shake up the economy of the world.
Nothing, but that doesn't stop people with Americabrain from making terrible comments here.
The EU has a record of actually passing pro-consumer legislation such as the GDPR and forcing companies to use standardized cables. Claiming that nothing is going to happen because of lobbying doesn't hold up nearly as well as it does in the US
There are no billionaires in EU, didn't you know that?
But how many of these have worked at Blizzard?
Why would that matter? EU is generally not as shit as the US on consumer protection
It's a jab at the Pirate Software guy, I believe.
I miss when I didn't have to hear about him all the time
Yeah, I'd like to think people would focus on other things now that SKG picked up the pace but he'll most likely be brought up for a long time regardless on what happens with the campaign in the future - even if just as a punching bag for people to feel superior about.
I wouldn't call it safe. The required margin is unknown and the initiative could still dip under 1 mil.
Additional signatures could still help. If you know somebody who can and hasn't signed yet, ask them to.
If only someone could garner that much support for StopKillingGazans amirite
We should vote out any EU parliament member who doesn't vote ay on that lae
Lobbying against 'SKG' will be massive.
As always - evey problem comes from people voting on conservative and not social-democrats or social-liberals
Every other parties are bullshit worth zero
