Just under 3000-4000 people are required per country in Lithuania, Latvia, Malta and Luxembourg. Come on now... that's a small town and in some places even just a village. Are there really that few gamers in those countries?

The individual country thresholds does not matter anymore. 7 countries have reached the threshold, which is the important bit.

Now we just need 1 million signatures total, it doesn't matter from which country.
