Vertrauen die Baltike solchen Initiativen einfach nicht oder sind die Informationen nicht weitreichend genug? 5-8K-Unterschriften klingen in einem Jahr nicht so viel zu sammeln. Ich spreche von der Initiative der europäischen Bürger "Hör auf, Videospiele zu zerstören". Was denken Sie?

What is it, links to the initiative?
Information is not wide spread enough.
What?
I dunno
What are you even on about?
It is the first time I ever hear about something like this. Could you give us some background?
sorry no clue what the fuck are you on about
We pirate most of our games anyways
No one gives a fuck. I opened and I saw this line: „as soon as support from the publisher ends“, so that means that games with a small playerbase will be closed because developers will not be getting enough money to run servers? Or should they release patches to 20 year old SP games, which also have a small playerbase? Don’t understand this initiave at all.
How do you destroy a video game?
All these online petitions mean nothing at fucking all
„I clicked a button, I did something“
Here are the details about initiative: It calls to require publishers that sell or license videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.
Specifically, the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames without the involvement from the side of the publisher.
The initiative does not seek to acquire ownership of said videogames, associated intellectual rights or monetization rights, neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state.

What are the threshold?
could not care less
My wife, family, and I have already signed this petition – but why have so few others? Let me break it down for you.
There are generally four types of people when it comes to gaming in Lithuania.
The first group? Let’s call them the „normies“. Simply put – they don’t care about video games. Most think gaming is a waste of time, even harmful. For them, it’s something you should grow out of, not enjoy as a hobby.
Then there are the people who used to play video games. Think Runescape, LoL, or other classics they played back in the day. They might even revisit those old titles now and then – but that’s about it. They are aware of new games but aren’t really interested anymore.
Next, you’ve got the newer generation – kids who mostly play whatever’s trendy, often with their parent’s credit cards. They’re not concerned with the industry, preservation, or the “why” behind gaming. For them, it’s just entertainment, and that’s where it ends.
Finally, there’s the dedicated minority: people who truly follow the gaming hobby. They stay up to date with news, read/watch news, buy new games, and play regularly. They treat gaming as a serious and meaningful form of entertainment.
Unfortunately, this last group is small in the Baltic States. There’s still strong social pressure here – the idea that gaming is a waste of time, or that „you won’t make money playing video games“. That mentality discourages many from embracing the hobby. Still, those who are passionate about gaming continue to support it, try new experiences, and buy games regularly.
So yeah – people like that are the minority, and your screenshot proves it.
Maybe once that social pressure fades, we’llsee more people open up to gaming and support initiatives like this. But for now – it is what it is.
