First I've heard of this. Agree completely. Went to sign... Can't :-(
Fuck Brexit.
There's a UK version. Have a look in here
Ah, brilliant, thanks very much, signed now.
Still though. Fuck Brexit!
While PirateSoftware did a lot of damage, it's just sad that European gamers have to be coaxed by US streamers to act in their own self-interest. Are they just unable to care about anything without US social media telling them to care?
To be fair Ross does live in Poland.
Who is Ross?
Ross Scott, Accursed Farms on YouTube. He's the one behind the stop killing games initiative. You may know him from his Freeman's Mind series or Ross' Game Dungeon.
I've been following Ross since he was making skits about two hl2 metrocops nearly two decades ago.
Whoo boy, its wild that ... this guy who just loves older games and semi-regularly reviews them... had to like... start an international movement, to attempt to ensure the corpos wouldn't be able to destroy gaming history by making it into an entirely ephemeral, temporary experience.
He'll always be Dr. Freeman to me =D
If anybody is interested in reviews of some truly weird, old, rare games... Ross has been doing that for a decade, check out his Game Dungeon series... only reason he hasn't made so many new ones lately is because of uh yeah, having to take time off to spearhead a push for legal reform so that future reviewers of old weird games might actually be able to do that.
The guy spearheading this cause.
pretty sure its more about awareness. its not that they had no interest until their favourite streamer told them about it, they simply didnt know about it.
It’s exactly that as newer folks who just recently joined the skg movement are asking “Why wasn’t this important initiative pushed earlier?”
My response was that “We were really trying to” as we all have personal limits of reach.
I have made my attempts in informing people that this exists over the months, I hope it was enough.
I wanna give thanks to Charlie M. Critikal for using his large platform to set things straight(er)
Love to see it! Saw too many naysayers last few days. This is an awesome chart. Hope the momentum can keep up. Would love to see a few more really big YTers shout out it. Like, love him or hate him, I imagine Markiplier could get the signatures by shouting it out.
I'm pretty sure I already signed this, but I'm concerned it might be a newer thing than the one I signed. Is there a way for me to check?
The EU petition will only allow one signature, it would just decline a second one made by the same person.
Would this have anything to do with Charlie's video?
Almost certainly.
It has set off a new wave of attention. Asmongold, Mutahar, and PDS have covered it, too.
pardon me, but who's PDS?

Literally thought DarkSydePhil had some kind of redemption arc for a second.
Can a mathematician explain what sort of graph shape this is?
The initial part is a flipped exponential function, which is characteristic of a finite population that wants to vote yes, and each day a fixed part of them finds out about the petition. This makes sense, because the more people there are yet to find out, the more people vote each day. Sadly, it also shows that the number of people who care was too small for the petition to pass (the horizontal value the graph converges on). HOWEVER, afterwards the graph started rising again which strongly suggests more and more new (previously consciously uncaring) people are being convinced to vote, which means there is still hope.
The "flipped exponential function" is called a logarithmic function :)
Not in this way, I mean the graphs are corresponding, but what is presented is also a flipped logarithmic function, so calling it a logarithmic function does not simplify anything
Maybe a logistic function/sigmoid curve then?
Saddam Hussein function.
Log-arrhythmic
So, the drama did help 😅
