I’m curious about that. Democracy Internation has a course on how to fundraise for an ECI

Together with experts, we will discuss your most pressing questions around fundraising for a European citizens’ initiative:

What are the sources of funding for an ECI? How to appraoch large-donors and how to frame your campaign? How, and in what circumstances, do you have to report funding received for an initiative?

TIL voting is lobbying

No of course not. Only what you approve as activism is activism 👌 And using official channels is certainly not activism.

Stop Killing Games should be asking for donations to get the people involved to have meetings with representatives in the EU commission. The big, shitty gaming companies that are firing devs en masse and just out to make money have their lobbyists. If the SKG movement doesn’t organise, that’s all we’ll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.

Gib sauce!

Keep signing it! Don’t stop!

Oh that’s good. I like that.

And fuck you too btw PirateSoftware :)

The problem with extremists is that they cannot see purity in anybody else but themselves.

But you fuck one sheep…

Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?

Would be better if citizens actually cared and didn’t dream of becoming the USA 🤷‍♂

Games are a luxury that happen to be the biggest market of the entertainment industry with more revenue than music and movies combined.

This isn’t “just a petition”. It’s a formal path to get a response from the EU commission. If it reaches the thresholds, the EU commission is forced by law to consider it. It isn’t some random petition that can be filed away and never heard of again.

Which is exactly what the EU Citizen’s Initiative is about 👌

Gaming is the biggest entertainment industry on the planet. Globally it generates more money than music and movies combined. Germany alone had an estimated 49 million players in 2022 (wikipedia), with France 45 million and Italy 36 million. Even if they were wrong by one decimal that would still make more than 12 million in those 3 countries alone.

The vast majority of European gamers are just too lazy to do anything in their own self-interest. It’s embarrassing.

I understand why he’s frustrated. EU citizens are just so damn lazy and won’t help themselves. I’ve told all my friends and family, brought it up at parties and other gatherings to anybody who plays games. But there are EU gamers (streamers and consumers alike) who are chronically online, on every proprietary platform out there and who don’t give 2 shits about the campaign.

Edit: Fuck Thor.

Glad to know Greece is focusing on the important things. The rest of their country is doing swimmingly 👌
