Overview

  • EU Citizens’ Initiative petition has now surpassed one million signatures, triggering a formal review by the European Commission.
  • Organizers have entered an “overdrive” phase to gather at least 1.2 million signatures in response to concerns over potential invalid or spoofed entries.
  • The UK parliamentary petition exceeded 100,000 signatures and is scheduled for debate even after the government declined to amend existing consumer laws.
  • The campaign seeks legislation to guarantee that digital games remain playable offline after servers or official support end, closing a consumer protection gap.
  • Endorsements from creators such as PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye and Asmongold have driven recent surges in public backing as the July 31 deadline approaches.
