Now that it has the votes confirmed, the European Commission has a July 27th deadline to make a full response and along with organising a public hearing by the European Parliament.

It’s mad funny that people can’t join for so many things but for video games they unite. All for it though.

  With any luck, it’s because this issue is such a slam dunk that it’s got broader support than more divisive initiatives. In reality though, it’s most likely just because YouTuber drama got more eyeballs on it; and if that’s the difference here, the EU really ought to re-examine how they do these initiatives. 1M signatures out of a population of 440M is a tough bar to clear.
