this is not simply a petition, it's a tool for bringing issues in front of the eu parliament, which has to address it. it's a kinda new thing, and untested, but it looks pretty functional for now. also, Nicolae Ștefănuță, vice president of the eu parliament, has openly supported this citizens initiative.

not all countries are as dysfunctional as the US, and i'm sorry for you that your government sucks ass. But if this works, it will be positive for every gamer worldwide, so maybe you get to enjoy more consumer protection than before.

We just hit 1.6M votes to "debate" a horrible law that's in the passing here in France (re-allowing cancerous anti pest substances and more), we should have aimed at the EU level instead!
