This was in today's news in Finland. I used Google to translate in English:
The EUROPEAN citizens' initiative Stop Destroying Videogames has received one million signatures.
The initiative will proceed to the European Commission's consideration because it has collected at least one million approved signatures and has also reached the required minimum number of signatures in seven member states.
THE initiative in question requires publishers to leave their games in a working, i.e. playable state.
Today, many games require a connection to the publisher's web server to function. However, this can be closed if the game is discontinued, for example due to low popularity or other reasons. The initiative requires game companies to offer consumers the opportunity to continue playing, for example on their own private server.
The number of signatures for the initiative, which was founded in SUMMER 2024, has recently increased dramatically. At the end of June, there were still less than 700,000 signatures, while the number now stands at 1.25 million. Signatures will be collected until the end of July.
Finland stands out in the statistics. 53,867 signatures have been submitted from Finland, while the target was 9,870. The number of Finnish signatures in relation to the target is a whopping 545 percent.
Finland is by far the most active country in terms of percentage. Sweden (439%), the Netherlands (403%), Germany (388%) and Poland (373%) come closest.
