    This is fucking bonkers.

    I ran the math a fee days ago, before this absolutely blee the fuck up, and I came to:

    We’d need 11k sigs per day until July 31st.

    … We’re now apparently at more than double that and climbing.

    Ho Lee Shit.

      I’m just worried some of them are botted, especially now that we’re less than 100k away from 1m.

        I mean, its not technically completely impossible, but the vast majority of EU countries require a valid name, id, address, etc, its usually a pretty dumb idea to bot spam an official government web portal, and I’m sure there will be a review process after July 31.

        Also… its not like it hits a million and then just no one else can sign up to it anymore.

        It’ll stay open till the end of the month, could easily breach a million, maybe even two million if anything like this insane rate keeps up.

      No need to do the math, this site has you covered: stopkillinggamestracker.pages.dev

      Right now we need 1669 per day remaining, though that number is probably going ot be smaller by the time you click the link.

      Worth noting that the actual target is somewhere above one million, since there’s probably some invalid signatures mixed in and the initiative needs a million even after these get removed. Still, it’s looking really good.

    844k now. Wow. I wonder what caused the sudden surge? Or is it just that most momentum can be gain at the start and towards the end like with Kickstarters?

      After Ross announced the campaign is dead a bunch of YouTubers (and media, I think?) picked up the topic and started spreading the word far and wide. This is the result.

        Here’s what bugs: Why didn’t channels like GamerNexus and LTT cover the petition until after Louis declared it dead?

      Piewdiepie made a community post yesterday supporting it and asking people to go sign if that has still something to do with it.
