This, please. We need more votes? EU only :|

Stop buying games made by these companies. Petition won't do shit. Take their money away, stop buying them

Do you even know what the difference between a "European Citizens' Initiative" and petition is?

As a non euro and hopefully soon to be better trade partner, no I don't. But I'll go look it up.

I wish that has worked over the last decade. It didn't. We need a governing body to stand up and represent us. That's what they're for.

And yes I know it won't be exactly as written. Read the darn thing

That's what EU is for (in Europe), but honestly, even as an avid gamer, there are other priorities, even in the IT/digital department (european alternatives, open source, research, ...), so as of now I keep voting with my wallet

I'm doing both. Dividing people isn't going help

It's worked for me, these games don't die in my eyes because they don't exist.

Sticking your head in the sand is a comfort, I suppose

Why would they stop? Cause you asked? Sadly this online crap is what’s making money and game companies are and have always been about money, all of them without exception

Do you know what you're talking about or are you just assuming stuff? Tell me, what is a "European Citizens' Initiative"?
