so if a nigga doesnt have a house number their the henkilotunnus is 0? they change homes and their ssn changes? sounds retarded
Which it should because video games are more important than water.
Well fortunately even if all if the signatures from Finland were botted, as long as the momentum for real signatures doesn't stop once the goal has been hit, 40k out of 1 million is basically a rounding error.
I am a retard. I checked the Finnish version of the form, and it is clearly for the building number. Taking an L. THAT BEING SAID, it's still too unlikely for botting from Finland specifically, because DVV (the registry authority) maintains a complete count of who lives where. Everyone is required to be registered.
Logically speaking, wouldn't a systematic submission of votes in a specific pattern be detected by EU? Otherwise, we're implying that there's either a massive, considerable amount of retards tasked with poisoning the petition or somewhat a non-trivial set-up of having to make it look as a semi-inconspicuous vote accumulation (different names, signatures, changing IPs from time to time). Is it reasonable to assume there's another assblasted Mald with more resources to thwart this? Then why wait until now?
I'm afraid the AAA industry detests this initiative and will want to bot it past 1 million. I'm not really worried about Mald fans though.
This is an official government process that's taking place, the vote counter is made by the government, is hosted on the governments website, and with the EU being what it is, they are no doubt inspecting all traffic that comes through their infrastructure. They may not validate the info in real-time for every country, but they have to be keeping an eye out for multiple submissions from the same IP address. Maybe a few would not be suspicious, but hundreds of submissions on a single IP. Even if they rotated VPNs, that's a tall ask. And for what gain?
lol
I'm not sure the games industry knows how to be proactive. Like with the creation of the ESRB, it was done out of duress from congress. Same with lootboxes, government looming forced a change. Seems the games industry are just as lazy and complacent as their audience.
same thing with the netherlands germany and ireland
That's my point. It seems very unlikely that without prior leakage on plans (sophisticated plans are really hard to contain), somehow undetected surge of botted signatures is happening and EU does nothing. Until there's evidence of botting, I would say it's more of a cascade of signatures due to high profile coverage and MALD being a ROACH.
I agree. I can understand someone being skeptical of this passing, life being what it is. I personally trust the count for the most part.
Keep in mind the skyrocketing has happened in the wake of a dedicated signal-boosting campaign. It makes perfect sense that it would react in response to that.
True. But I think we'll manage over 1 million. Even to go further. But its fine you don't see the same elation. Skepticism is usual is all. I'm skeptical that we will get over 2 million and about how this will play out. The proposal that is.
I'm still going to put my hand in the air while having a shot of whiskey. I'm imagining a lot more traction and more signatures
The guy he interviewed seems a little too sure of himself quite often and gets shit wrong like the steam DRM and "Everybody loves steam"
The guy didn't seem to know shit that a lot of people do know.
Think he was forced out and told to step down?
Its not odd, its all the fucking Euro no lifes who game realizing what's going on and signing. It's a wonderful thing.
