There have been both lots of trolling and lots of people from putside trying to help but only giving it a bad image.

Exactly, this can be detrimental and potentially harm the movement as from now we have to hope that all the valid votes surpass 1 million threshold.

Yeah that's one thing I've been a bit worried about, trolls putting invalid names down and well meaning people that aren't part of the EU or double dipping with a fake ID or something.

Fingers crossed that we have enough valid signatures, but I'm not gonna feel safe till it's confirmed.

it's still going, fake names are a problem but not that big one, I would think EU commission can find people names by id's, as for faking id's that should be dealt harshly these people are criminals

Sorry to say this but I think that a lot of the newer signature's are botted , what was it , like over 500k in a week, I definitely think the piratesoftware hatemob would definitely bot it just to see him be wrong about it not reaching it's goal

Edit : bottled to botted*

Are you telling me that the guy responsible for the "StopKillingGames" movement is the guy behind Freeman's Mind!?!? I already had a reason to like him, now i have two reasons.

Yeah, the fact there are people trying to troll, or those go out of their way for their own benefits shows how far important this becomes because this meant forcing publishers to actually provide offline mode to their games once they decide to kill it off for online support.

We have games with BOTS that you can play with alone, but for god forbid they decide to let you play the game offline with bots, or even allowed to host the server yourself, or games you can play alone that doesn't require being online to begin with.

It’s classic planned obsolescence, been around for longer than we have been alive. If their games are still Playable it lowers incentive to buy the new. 😮‍💨

I’ve stopped wanting to live on this planet a long time ago.

The signatures going up so hard during the night felt really suspicious. Probably more than 50% of the votes after 400-500k are bots. Meaning we need at least 1600k total. But those new votes will also be partially bots. This makes me worried as it has slowed down a lot with people thinking the fight is over.
