Stop Killing Games: The Consumer Protection Paradox
The consumer initiative "Stop Killing Games" has now gathered so many signatures that the European umbrella association VGE has spoken out. The statement raise objections that could cause the initiative to fail.
It is a truly impressive result. According to its own figures, the consumer initiative ‘Stop Killing Games’ has collected more than 1.25 million digital signatures across the EU and is well on its way to meeting the criteria for a successful EU petition. To do so, it must find at least 1 million supporters and exceed certain thresholds in at least 7 EU countries. According to its own website, Stop Killing Games wants to collect a total of 1.4 million signatures to ensure that it has enough votes, even if all invalid votes are deducted during the verification process.
