If you need help on if you are eligible to sign, refer to the European Citizens' Initiative FAQ: https://t.co/ruHjO6WZZ4 EU citizens worldwide can sign the ECI, but ONLY EU citizens. DO NOT SIGN IF YOU ARE NOT AN EU CITIZEN Guides for non-eID signing at
citizens-initiative.europa.eu
Frequently asked questions (FAQ) on the lifecycle of a European citizens' initiative (ECI)
It's probably not many, but I've been given a couple reports that there have been claims of non-citizens spoofing signatures on the EU initiative. A reminder this is a government process and that's considered a crime and would probably get reported to Europol or Interpol.

We have passed 900k signatures! I said this in August, and I hate saying it again: Every person who makes a mistake on the signing gets theirs invalidated, so we have to go into overdrive to make up for them. 10%? 20%? 40%? We can't stop at 1 million! https://t.co/EpnNTDR85U

We have passed 800k! This is suspenseful for me, since I've seen the momentum crash once before and I'm sure people know how interest can surge then fall off quickly online. I don't see this as a sure thing, but if we keep this up, we could make it! https://t.co/EpnNTDR85U

The UK petition has reached 100k signatures! This means it will be brought before Parliament and we can ignore the old garbage answer that didn't address the problem. Will have a video on it later. Keep signing for safety margins! https://t.co/q7pNzilBf7

We have passed 90k signatures! If we can keep even a fraction of this momentum, I think we have it. However, if some signatures are found to be invalid, then they'll be removed later, so keep going even if it passes 100k as a safety margin! https://t.co/q7pNzilBf7

Remember these deadlines. • If you're from the UK: July 14th • If you're from the EU: July 31st • If you're from elsewhere, spread the word The industry changed for the worse due to normalization of bad practices. While you may not have a time machine to undo the previous bad
Today's the #StopKillingGames promotion day planned by the volunteers! I encourage people to make a post with that hashtag. I'm just following orders though, it's safe to label me as a boomer in regards to social media.

I'm late watching this, but this is one of the best cases I've seen for SKG from a developer perspective. I think most consumers / gamers don't need this kind of convincing, but for those hung up on the technical feasibility, this is worth watching. https://t.co/xQGQDRyG4W

The UK petition has passed 70k! I was NOT expecting to make an update on it twice in the same day. While it has only 2 weeks left, it might be within sight now. https://t.co/q7pNzil3pz

All friends from the UK, this your chance!
The UK petition has passed 50k signatures! A reminder that the first negative answer given is completely irrelevant if we get 100k, because then it skips that department and heads straight to Parliament instead. https://t.co/q7pNzil3pz

We might be able to pull this off. Keep kicking ass!
We don’t usually use this account for non-Selaco topics anymore, but this is about something important: game preservation. If you’re in Europe, please consider signing to help stop games from disappearing forever.

Hey there, if you're in an EU country, you should definitely consider signing the 'Stop Killing Games' petition if you haven't already. A lot of games we buy today are built to just stop working when the publisher pulls the plug on em. It needs to stop. #stopkillinggames

I signed the ”Stop Killing Games” petition and I encourage every EU citizen who enjoys vidya games to take a look at it!
We have passed 700k signatures! Even though this just the EU, people in other countries will likely get the benefits if passed, since once a publisher makes an EOL build, the work is already done, they may as well distribute it globally. https://t.co/EpnNTDQAgm

RPCS3 supports the Stop Killing Games initiative in the EU🎮 Many PS3 online-only games are already dead But it doesn't mean that has to be the norm going forward with future games to come on other platforms If you're an EU citizen🇪🇺support it here too! https://t.co/KIVhupbxqK
