EU Petition to Curb Game Shutdowns Reports 689,035 Verified Signatures as 15 Countries Clear Thresholds

Organisers say verification progress puts the initiative on track for formal consideration.

Overview

  • Out of 1,448,270 signatories, 689,035 have been validated so far, with Germany and France still pending verification.
  • Fifteen member states have met their national minimums, and only about 3% of signatures have failed checks to date.
  • Campaign leaders report meetings with Members of the European Parliament, national governments and the European Commission, with public events in the works.
  • The group is recruiting developer and academic experts to address technical questions while avoiding reliance on costly consulting firms.
  • Organisers cite a record volume of submissions to the Digital Fairness Act consultation and Ubisoft enabling offline play in The Crew 2 as signs of momentum.
