I don’t get why loops requires registration. It feels like an instagram pattern and I really dislike it.

That’s going to be amazing. Right after a match, ICE is going to walk onto the pitch and arrest non-white football player - if they even get into the country.

atro_city@fedia.ioto Games@lemmy.world•The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'22·18 days agoEven 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.
atro_city@fedia.ioto Games@lemmy.world•The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]2811·19 days agoI 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.
