100.01% is cutting it close but glad to see we got this far. Please keep signing!

PumaStoleMyBluff, do games w The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures

The EU page started 404ing for me right when it should have hit 1 mil; are we being trolled?

Edit: nvm worked from desktop. Maybe just hug of death.

It is still getting hugged, I guess people are rushing to add their names now that it is a won battle.
Edit: managed to load at 999,614.

PumaStoleMyBluff,

I am a little worried that some of the surge in signatures has been botting, but I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

You need to identify yourself with a state issued form of identification so I doubt botting happened.

PumaStoleMyBluff,

Depends heavily on country.

SomethingBurger,

Not in every country. In about half of them, you only need to provide a name, address and date of birth.

Wizard_Pope,
@Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

Sheesh. Was jot aware of that. Still hope people were not dumb enough to bot it.

Klear,

Some definitely were, but hopefully not too many. There’s still almost a whole month left to build up a solid buffer.

Wizard_Pope,
@Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world avatar

Well to be honest if the only info needed is like name and date of birth I could just enroll my whole family and technically all would be legitimate signatures right?

SomethingBurger,

Correct, although that would be technically illegal but no one will check. However, bots and trolls who spammed faked addresses will most certainly have their signatures invalidated.

Can we do a stop killing children now?

conartistpanda,

But they yummy

mholiv,

Because saving video games and stopping the killing of children are mutually exclusive???

courval,

I didn’t say they were. They are particularly useful for “hiding our heads” and forget about the shitty world. They play a big roll keeping me sane and I respect the art very much. I would just like to see the same kind of effort put into to it.

mholiv,

After you edited it, it is more clear now. You should have phrased it that way to begin with.

courval,

Didn’t edited mate but glad you read it positively.

SomethingBurger,

This is a EU initiative but you’re free to create one in the US.

TachyonTele, do games w The EU initiative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!!

That's great and all, but this needs to stop being spammed everywhere. Theres two of these posts in games alone.

Crosspost, people. That's what is there for.

If you’re in Game Mode you can click the cog button, go to Compatibility and select a proton version. This may help

Edit: you may also need to make sure you have Steam Play enabled. I believe the latest system update enables this by default.

caut_R,

Manually enabling a proton version did the trick, I was able to download it after! That was a way simpler fix than I anticipated, I wonder why the Deck behaves like this for this game only (from my library at least).

In any case, thanks a lot!

Nice. Life is short, play games

slaneesh_is_right,

*buy

Hadriscus,

buy, rent, pirate, whatever floats your boat

sugar_in_your_tea,

No, the Steam life is not to play games, but to buy them.

linrilang, do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

23% played? That’s basically 100% by Steam standards. You’ve officially made it.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yeah, I have far fewer games and have played a lower percent of the ones I have. There are just so many bundles that have one or two games I do want and I just add the rest to my library.

It's good to see. The UK one is still ticking upward too (133.5k/100k). It's been an impressive last minute push.

Now, we wait and see I guess. I expect nothing useful to come from the UK one, but at least we force them to respond again. Even if it is the same response.

The EU one, I really do hope something comes of it.

Duamerthrax, do games w The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures

Keep pushing. There are probably people using VPNs to sign the petition and those will get purged. Either from idiots who don’t know better or AAA studios trying to get people to stop now that it’s reached the goal. This is true for both the UK and EU petitions.

janNatan, do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

I’m curious, what’s your highest play time on a game? Or maybe top 3 even.

atomicpoet,

Sure, here’s my top three by hours spent:

  1. Spelunky - 92.2 hours
  2. Legends of Solitaire: Curse of the Dragons - 58.9 hours
  3. Civilization V - 50.2 hours

About my lowest threshold for success is that this at least makes disclosures about what you’re buying more prominent and restricts the ability for software licenses to just alter the deal and pray that they don’t alter them further. Even better disclosures would make the raw deal you’re getting become more poisonous before the point of sale. Especially as an American, I’m going to have wait a few years after any legislation goes through before I can trust online multiplayer games again.

Fell asleep, woke up, suddenly there’s only 30k left on the EU initiative.

@LorIps@lemmy.world avatar

Now it’s just 20k

rfr_Foglia,

Only 4K!

Klear,

Only -1800!

@AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today avatar

Awesome! Keep signing though, some signatures will fail to validate so there should be as many as possible.

mohab, do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

Why do I play all these games? Because it's important that they're played.

Well, evidently not since you're actively ignoring about 77% of them 😂 And who boasts about their hyperconsumerism on fucking Lemmy of all platforms 😂

atomicpoet,

Wrong. Not ignored—not played yet.

Dyskolos,

Come on, none of us will ever play all their games. I’d bet around 2000 of my games on steam are some free keys or other incredibly cheap shit I wouldn’t touch with a 10m-pole. If I’d ever find them again in the library, that is.

But I admire your positivity and optimism 😁

atomicpoet,

Hey, I’ve played every game I purchased between 2012-15.

Dyskolos,

Hmm sounds suspiciously like one of those sane people who buy a game and then have thousands of hours of fun with it. Get outta here 😁

Dyskolos,

Playing for an hour to see how shitty it is? Or actually bought to enjoy for manymany hours, as intended? Thought so 😁 For us peeps with way more than a few k games, 20% actually been played would be already the big numbers I’d guess.

atomicpoet,

Hey, most games are not meant to be played for thousands of hours. And actually, most games I own can be completed in less than 100 hours. Especially if they’re not RPGs. Then there’s arcade games which are often not meant to be completed at all.

But then again, I’ve already said I’m not a completionist. I only complete games if they’re compelling enough to complete.

BurgerBaron,
@BurgerBaron@piefed.social avatar

My completion rate is obviously much lower, but I've played at least two hours of 628/788 games in my 19 year old Steam account. I guess I'm a bit pickier with accepting freebies or buying on sales.

That is the result of a deliberate effort. Two year long project to play at least 2 hours of every game in my backlog minimum before I can uninstall it. Until there's nothing let but the dregs. A YouTuber inspired me, except he had a time limit deadline for the video.

Backlog was 258 games, now 160. Really there's about 30 left worth at least looking at. A lot of old crap from the very first Steam sale in there.

Most recent from the backlog was Alpha Protocol with some pcgamingwiki fixes. Yep that's been sitting in there a long long time. Loved it so much I finished it!

Dyskolos,

Definately one of the more wiser purchase-guys :-) I went a lil nuts when inventory-gifts were a thing. You know, doing what the corporations all do: Exploit globalism to my advantage. But for many years I rarey buy anything anymore, only if i REALLY intend to play it. I’m old, not wise :-)

Journal, July 3, 2025:

The day opened with a round of https://store.steampowered.com/app/2478330/Barbie_Project_Friendship/.

I then followed it up with survival horror https://store.steampowered.com/app/1944430/Amnesia_The_Bunker/ from survival horror specialists Frictional Games.

Next on the list was gay dom/sub dating sim https://store.steampowered.com/app/2747220/Blood_Domination/.

Then hard milsim https://store.steampowered.com/app/1076160/Command_Modern_Operations/.

I wound down with some relaxing time in art toy https://store.steampowered.com/app/1418570/Zen_Trails/.

I have always been partial to variety.

atomicpoet,

The only game I own on this list is Amnesia.

But yes, during a weekend, I’ve been known to launch a few titles. 😆
