The current language in this proposal is far too vague and has the potential to do more harm than good...I would hold off on signing this until a better proposal is made

If the petition hits it target, the politicians are forced to discuss it which would include agreeing workable language. It would not automatically become the law with the proposed language.

We're gonna rely on the same group of people who wanted to ban memes to be able to draft a policy that differentiates between MMO's, live service games, and single player games that need to be connected to the Internet? Naw dog ..I ain't trusting them old farts....VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET.

Care to explain your point with some detail?

If this fails, I doubt we'll see a second proposal. So I think it would be fair to measure any arguments you make as why no action is better than the proposal.

Correct me if I am wrong, but this petition doesn't decide the wording of any law just ensures it is brought to attention of EU lawmakers and discussed right?
