    The organizers threw up their hands man lol and we aren’t going to see half a million signatures before the deadline.

    It sucks but if we want to see game preservation succeed we need a new path.

        Man I love the optimism but it’s hours away and the organizers are doing interviews saying they’re done. It’s back to the drawing board.

            I thought i read it was less than 24hrs from the deadline. In that case sure spread away. Not feeling great about it but hey still a chance then. My bad

            Edit: we’re both wrong. EU deadline is July 3rd, which is the main one. UK one is doing even worse, that has less than 3 weeks.

              You switched the dates. EU deadline is july 31st, and got a massive influx of signatures over the last two days.

                That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens’ Initiative, which ends July 3.

                I’m only showing this because that’s what I was going off of. The petitions themselves have different dates. You are likely correct, but just felt it behooved me to at least show where I got those dates from
