One thing I did neglect to mention all this time is that the
UK petition has
also been gathering a lot of numbers!
Around the time that Ross uploaded his response to Mald (
June 23), the petition had been sitting at just over 16,000 signatures, out of a minimum 100,000 needed for the petition to be considered for parliamentary debate.

Only 3 days later on
June 26, the number of signatures quite literally
doubled by the same time of day (8PM) as the earlier archive.

Now, at the time of writing, the petition is sitting at close to 42,000 signatures.

Furthermore, I also took a look at the
signature map and spotted something which I found deeply amusing. Notice how over up in Scotland there's one particular constituency which is quite dense with signatories, that being
Dundee Central.

Dundee is in fact the town/city where
YoYo Games are headquartered, and as we all know, YYG are the developers of the
GameMaker engine and IDE, which Mald himself just so happens to be using to develop
ShartBound in.
(EDIT: I just quickly glossed over the map again, Dundee is in fact
the most concentrated constituency in the UK so far for signatures on the SKG petition. God truly is the greatest comedian and I'm fucking cackling right now.)
