And that will improve the quality of the games how?

Sure, but he didn’t advocate for a boycott, he talked about “going sailing” a.k.a. piracy

A UK petition is in the works. It might take some time until that goes up because your election a couple of months ago reset a lot of work, but it’s comming

Would they be mandated to give out the server code that people could run their own servers?

Sort of. The Idea is that people should be able to run their own servers, but developers wouldn’t need to give out their code. All you need is the server binary. After all server software is just that software, just like the client and they don’t need to give out the source code for that for you to run the game. Alternatively they could patch the game so it’s peer-to-peer. (and yes in this case that would be unreasonable as the game is not successful enough to even break even)

The initiative is so ambiguous (to the extend that it is - I’d argue that it’s a lot clearer than many people claim) because it’s not actually legal text. It’s not supposed to be. All it should do is describe the problem and explain why the problem falls under EU jurisdiction. Everything else is supposed to be handled by EU lawmakers after the initiative has met it’s signature goal.

Yes there was one but the Tories didn’t have anything to do with it closing, at least not directly. If an election happens all open petitions are closed as a matter of process, because “it’s a new parliament”. And then you need to resubmit.

There is a UK petition in the works. It’s not quite ready yet, because thanks to your recent election the team behind the initiative had to redo all of their work. (Your government requires everybody to resubmit petitions if a new parliament is elected)

(even including countries which have already passed the threshold, I’m assuming).

You assume correctly

He also works for the publisher offbrand games. Offbrand currently has exactly one game in its portfolio: The upcoming smash bros like “Rivals 2” - a game with a big multiplayer focus that might even be free to play.

So I’d say he has a big conflict of interest.

Also just getting 100% in 7 countries is not ging to be enough to reach 1 million votes total.

So you should keep signing it either way. Every vote still counts
