Overview
- Early national checks indicate about 97% validity among roughly 1.45 million signatures, which organizers say makes a European Commission hearing all but guaranteed.
- National authorities are still verifying entries, a process organizers expect to take around three months.
- Once verification is complete, the group plans to personally deliver the petition in Brussels and seek meetings with the European Commission and the European Parliament.
- Following formal submission, the Commission will have up to six months to decide how to respond to the initiative.
- The campaign, led by Accursed Farms creator Ross Scott, seeks legal safeguards to keep games playable after shutdowns and has pledged outreach to policymakers while countering industry lobbying.
