Love to see it! Saw too many naysayers last few days. This is an awesome chart. Hope the momentum can keep up. Would love to see a few more really big YTers shout out it. Like, love him or hate him, I imagine Markiplier could get the signatures by shouting it out.

Would this have anything to do with Charlie's video?
Almost certainly.
It has set off a new wave of attention. Asmongold, Mutahar, and PDS have covered it, too.
pardon me, but who's PDS?
Philip Defranco Show
Literally thought DarkSydePhil had some kind of redemption arc for a second.
While PirateSoftware did a lot of damage, it's just sad that European gamers have to be coaxed by US streamers to act in their own self-interest. Are they just unable to care about anything without US social media telling them to care?
To be fair Ross does live in Poland.
Who is Ross?
Ross Scott, Accursed Farms on YouTube. He's the one behind the stop killing games initiative. You may know him from his Freeman's Mind series or Ross' Game Dungeon.
I've been following Ross since he was making skits about two hl2 metrocops nearly two decades ago.
Whoo boy, its wild that ... this guy who just loves older games and semi-regularly reviews them... had to like... start an international movement, to attempt to ensure the corpos wouldn't be able to destroy gaming history by making it into an entirely ephemeral, temporary experience.
He'll always be Dr. Freeman to me =D
If anybody is interested in reviews of some truly weird, old, rare games... Ross has been doing that for a decade, check out his Game Dungeon series... only reason he hasn't made so many new ones lately is because of uh yeah, having to take time off to spearhead a push for legal reform so that future reviewers of old weird games might actually be able to do that.
The guy spearheading this cause.
pretty sure its more about awareness. its not that they had no interest until their favourite streamer told them about it, they simply didnt know about it.
It’s exactly that as newer folks who just recently joined the skg movement are asking “Why wasn’t this important initiative pushed earlier?”
My response was that “We were really trying to” as we all have personal limits of reach.
I have made my attempts in informing people that this exists over the months, I hope it was enough.
So, the drama did help 😅
I wanna give thanks to Charlie M. Critikal for using his large platform to set things straight(er)
Really not a beautiful presentation of the data though :/
First I've heard of this. Agree completely. Went to sign... Can't :-(
Fuck Brexit.
There's a UK version. Have a look in here
Ah, brilliant, thanks very much, signed now.
Still though. Fuck Brexit!
I'm pretty sure I already signed this, but I'm concerned it might be a newer thing than the one I signed. Is there a way for me to check?
The EU petition will only allow one signature, it would just decline a second one made by the same person.
