There is still 10 days left. Even though the stretch goals were met, you can still sign.

The entire premise of your comment is absurd, but let’s assume for a moment we really do live in a world where a legal process can’t be used unless it’s successfully been used for widespread change before; what other action do you suggest people should take?
A boycott of the worst companies. I’ve seen lots of people commenting they’re never buying an Ubisoft game again under pretty much every article in relation to them. Perhaps boycotts haven’t worked in the past but this seems to have enough support and momentum that it could have a real direct impact. Recently, boycotts have been pretty impactful as the world has stopped buying US products and within the US, conservative groups have influenced many companies with boycott and social media campaigns against companies. It’s also something that all supporters globally can participate in rather than everyone just hoping a European law might affect products purchased elsewhere.
The petition was a great way to gauge support, but I feel like people are going all in on its success and when the EU parliament likely issues its “we take consumer protection seriously which is why we already have the best laws in the world and don’t need to change anything” statement, people are just going to act defeated. There’s going to be a doomer post about how the EU parliament is corrupt and piratesoftware is the devil that gets 1000 upvotes and then that’ll be it instead of using the support and momentum in a more direct and impactful way.
There are lots of ways to make a change. It shouldn’t be all in on a single petition and that’s it. That’s not how social and political changes happen.
So your suggestion is instead of any attempt at regulation people should just boycott a company years after they’ve already given that company their money, despite the fact that you admit n even more ideal circumstances boycotts still do not work?
It’s not mutually exclusive. I’d suggest people do as many things as they can.
You mean like all the things in the link OP posted which you scrolled past just to be an ass in the comments?
Maybe I come off wrong in text? I wasn’t trying to be an ass. I don’t think any of my comments were rude. There’s a comment in this thread calling someone a cuck with upvotes. I’d say that’s being an ass. I was just trying to be realistic.
But not this apparently.
I’ve never said don’t sign it. I’m saying don’t be surprised when the EU declines to change laws. It’s probably going to take more than a petition to actually see change.
