[EU/UK] Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Since most of Europe is above 100%, how is the total number of petitions at 98%? How does that work?

7 Countries need to meet the 100% threshold for the petition to be valid which has already happened. We didn't have enough signatures 25 minutes ago for it to be 1m.

Oh, I thought every single country had to, which seemed very harsh.

The threshold per country is different from the total threshold.
