      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.

      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.

    I understand the value of preserving our digital heritage (hell, I still play games from 1982 and share the love for them with millennials), but we do have some other issues to worry about in southern Europe.

      You strike me as the kind of person who has to occasionally stop when walking because they can’t figure out how to walk and breathe at the same time.

      Said by everyone who disagrees with an important issue. This is about keeping our history and culture alive. Games you own should stay playable.

      Good thing humans can generally work on more than one problem at a time, especially given how many of us there are!

      Brother its literally a number and your name that you enter on a website. Its literally 1 minute. And as someone who used to live in the now POOREST eu nation, its not that hard to do. Id even argue that for a lot of people video games are an escape here so it helps if they can spend their few days worth of pay on a game and then actually being able to play it without the publisher shutting it off for some stupid ass reason.

      Correct me if I am wrong, but it is possible to work for progress on multiple issues at once, right?

        True, but you do have to prioritize your battles.

        I repeat: I understand the importance of preserving our digital legacy.

          I am not going to fault the person spearheading this effort for putting time and resources into an issue they are passionate about. Feel free to do the same.

            I will, I just have too much on my plate at the moment.

            Don’t assume game preservation is something that I don’t value.

    Woah, it was under 480k just 2 days ago and it shot past 530k in such a short time. Looks like the renewed attention has put some wind back in the sails! Not expecting it to succeed, but still nice to see nonetheless

      Still sends a message hopefully and makes it into some news and makes people aware of the issue :)

    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.
