@a1ba I already told you, not gonna happen. It took almost an year to get 500k, and you think we'll get another 500k in a month?
@alyx @a1ba Well https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000001_en got a whole bunch of votes at last minute.

Doesn't matter if gamers buy Switch2 or not. That's not gonna do it. The LGBT lobby doesn't have money because they don't buy games. They have money because they grift, and get your government's money. USAID ring any bells? They grift public money, and then use the money for their activism. Probably to bribe politicians too. They do the same thing all big NGOs do, launder money.
So when you manage to get gamers to start functioning like a semi-criminal organization, then you can hope to accomplish magical tasks, like getting 500k people to sign a digital petition in a month.

Sure, things are fucked up. But I can be honest with myself enough to know we're not gonna get the industry to fix things. We don't have the resources to, we don't have the influence to.
Gamers tried to gain some control with Gamergate, we failed. Gamergate2 barely had any impact. If GG2 had been actually successful, we would have seen numerous AAA publishers closing down and tens of thousands of people becoming literally homeless over night. Clearly that didn't happen.
And now StopKillingGames is gonna be another case in the repertoire of gamers' failures.
What do you want me to say? You want me to pretend we'll get 500k signatures in a month? It. Is. Not. Gonna. Happen. I'm not gonna lie to you like that, or to myself.
I'm not even blaming gamers. I'm being fucking honest. I signed the bloody thing as soon as Ross put up the link. You think I wouldn't have preferred for it to work out? You think I enjoy giving out my personal information to an EU database just for shits and giggles? I was hoping that something will come out of it. I was hoping I didn't give out my info to the next neo-fascist multi-state government for nothing. Clearly things didn't go my way.
P.S. Did you block me? Cause things are acting weird on my side.
