The initiative has reached the required signature threshold in 15 countries, with Germany and France – the two largest – expected to follow suit.

        Well clearly you’re lying or you haven’t been looking, because this is NOT the most popular initiative on ECI.

        Regardless, you can support more than one issue. It’s not a zero-sum game, you can fight for multiple things. It’s really not that hard to figure out.

        There’s a lot of crossover here. It encompasses the “you rent everything and own nothing” aspect of today’s society. It’s multi-billion corporations against consumers.

        A win here will be something that will expose chinks in the armour for a lot of other issues. I know it might seem unimportant because it’s games, but that’s its beauty. It’s a backdoor into so many other fights.

          Exactly! Some examples:

          • right to repair - actually owning games is similar to actually owning laptops and phones
          • ads in cars, apps, etc that you’ve bought - do you really own it if it’s littered with ads you don’t control?

          Set the precedent, then gradually expand scope.
