Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Ireland has just passed its threshold, becoming the seventh country to do so.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

    You don’t get it.

    What happens if you try to just brute force guess at a bunch of possible credit card numbers and addresses and names in some kind of online store?

    After maybe a couple of tries, 30 seconds or less of that… the system is rejecting your bullshit fake numbers everytime, and after enough, it auto ip bans you, sends an email to the security admin team, and your journey to getting a chat from INTERPOL or the FBI or what not has now officially begun.

    This system doesn’t just accept any old random bullshit you give it.

    It is not a random slapdash online poll.

    Its only going to count up on that total signatures count if the system actually verifies the info you put in as being consistent with an actual, real, specific person in the system.

    I again repeat: You are an idiot.

    And I use idiot specifically: you are not only drastically misinformed, but determined, and seem to think very dangerous actions… are not dangerous… you think very unfeasible methods… are feasible.

      “an actual, real, specific person in the system”

      What system is that?

      “Sends an email to the security team”

      I can’t tell if you’re my father trying to understand Facebook or my nephew trying to understand a mouse.

        Your idiot noises have no power over me, you contemptible boffin.

        You aren’t worth explaining anything further to, such is the density of your thick skull, such is the extent of the gaping, cavernous void present in the part of your mind where relevant contextual information should be.

        If you must pester me further, my server admin tutoring rate is $100 per hour, if you can’t afford the cost, just admit you’re lost.

          What do you think the word boffin means? Do you mean buffoon? You should probably double-check your phrasing before quoting anime protagonists from memory
