The stop killing games campaign is about preventing game publishers from intentionally destroying their games after official support ends.

    Finland over here in the lead. Northern Europe pulling the weight for Southern Europe, except Norway and Iceland.

    Edit: TIL Norway and Iceland are not EU members.

      except Norway and Iceland.

      I mean, hardly seems fair to blame them for that. This is an EU initiative thing, and they’re not in the EU.

      This is like me saying “lots of US states turned out to vote for Harris, but the Canadian provinces and territories have not been pulling their weight at all”.

      EDIT:

        I did not realize that both were not in the EU.

      Norway and Iceland are not proper EU members, only EEA members, so they are not allowed to petition.

        They can advocate their European neighbours to sign.

      For a European citizens’ initiative to be valid, it must obtain at least one million valid signatures and meet the minimum thresholds in at least seven countries.

      Countries over 100% have overpassed their thresholds.

      Because people can (and should) sign the initiative even if the threshold for their country has already been reached.

      You need 7 countries and 1m for the thresholds. So people who signed in a 100% country can still add their signature to the total.
