And he does. He didn't go about it the best way, but his main points are absolutely correct.

Getting 1 million signatures is just the start. After that. Ross' team will have to debate the issue with the EU parliament, and they will have to negotiate this with corporations who want to have the right to kill games whenever they please.

Louis mentioned that whenever he wasn't present to argue his points, corporations would help pass laws against the right to repair, and the same can happen here. The issue being discussed is that games are shut off without a way to play them and without a previous warning. Imagine that, instead of forcing devs to make the game playable, the EU parliament decides that companies should announce end of service at least a year in advance. That would be a previous warning, that would be enough in theirs and the companies' eyes, but it would be a complete failure for the movement.

Like it or not, Ross made himself the face of this movement, and now he needs to go all the way.
 
I doubt the EU will ask each country to run an in depth verification of a large percentage of signatures. They will check samples for mass botting and fraud, and if there is no glaring issue there they won't bother.

The higher above the threshold the signatures get, the less they will give enough of a fuck to spend resources on that verification
 
Also god DAMN, people talk about the gaming culture in South Korea, but clearly it's the Finns who have the greatest goon caves.

In the face of this, I can't help but imagine everyone on the street, from babies to grandmothers to cute little Finnish Spitzes being the ultimate gamers. Even hiking through the wilderness to your log cabin, you need to keep an emergency Switch 2 with your rations.

I cant imagine they do all of that manually
Theres probably some sort of algorithm to check these
They will probably send a request to each country and wait till they give a respose. So add an extra month of waiting

Finland has pretty small population, slightly above 5mil iirc, and A LOT of them are 4channers.
Like seriously back in the day when i was hanging around in /int/ there were so many finns, completely disproportional to their population

It probably helps that every other finnish person is a gamedev.
At least it feels that way with the amount of indie kino they produce.

No. All they will do is for ID nations check that the name matches the ID code. Which is done automatically. While for non ID nations they check that the name matches a valid address and maybe escalating it to checking if the address given is a known address of that person. It's not hard.
The way to fake it is to know the names and addresses of people, which is possible IDs do get stolen but that would require getting the local authorities involved and asking people directly to confirm each vote, which won't happen. So you would need to get the names and last known legal addresses of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people to fuck with the petition. Who has the time and resources for that. Also you would need to diversify the sources. Can't have 100,000 extra votes in Finland people will be able to tell.

According to Xitter user "the_patch_dev" (and kind of Thor himself), Thor's Discord may be running a campaign to sabotage the EU signatures.

Missed this but this is infuriating. This is NOT a minor thing, I've been a mod myself in some discords and if someone "backseat mods" and its 100% legitimate, they get a fucking pass. Especially for something so damn egregious. Like if someone is posting porn or whatever, you don't punish someone for saying "STOP POSTING PORN". The "backseat mod" 100% gets a pass. Now if its borderline spamming, or something more subtle sure...but this is straight up crime. Mald is total shit.

Mald is one of those, "I'm sorry, sorry for getting caught!" type of people except he doesn't even apologize for getting caught so it makes total sense.

What sucks about the EU initiatives is that just from a glance (like the UK petitions) a lot of them are cringe and gay. There are some decent ones on paper but they're not approached with the same pragmatism that Ross did with his and some are definitely overestimating the EU's authority and capabilities. Compared to the others, SKG is a breath of fresh air.

One of them wants the EU to ban the slaughter of all animals for food, and it's actually on track to get enough votes, it's 90% of the way there already and only expires in September. (Sauce)

I'm not quite sure what they're trying to accomplish here, do they legitimately believe that the EU has the authority to close down all farms and completely ban the sale of meat?
 
901k. 99k more to make that furfag seethe, and then at least a year if hearing him seethe and mald and dilate while the politicians kill the live service game genre as whole

In comes the man himself, Louis Rossmann has made a video and it seems it won't be the last

I love how it's a call to action and trying to light a fire under Ross's ass, because pussy, we're not done! That was the best one I've seen so far, but of course I'm like 15 pages behind because I watched the video.

Louis's video is 100% Sisyphean and 100% correct. You can't lament being in a position to enact change. You can't forego personal profit in your endeavors. If you do something great you have an actual need to finance yourself so you can keep doing it. It's suicidal not to. When you're 30+ you don't get to shuffle your obligations in life to make room for video games. You fight for these things so the youth has an opportunity to enjoy the things you did that are deteriorating and disappearing. It kills me knowing that kids experience such a gay, retarded, walled garden Internet.

Not to be too much of a ballwasher, but God Bless You man. You nailed it. Toughen up, or get rinsed.
