Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The page seems to be not working at the moment but keep on signing https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
Yay! I'm one in a million!
Can we move for a Stop Killing People now!? :)
Definitely keep signing, I'm really concerned at the speed it rose , and I'm really hoping there wasn't something else at play here.
It was Critikal and PewDiePie saying to sign it. They could get a million signatures on literally anything.
Someone posted a screenshot from 4chan where they were talking about how to fake submissions... 😠
One melon!
A whole melon indeed
Keep it going, let's see how much more we can get people to sign, let's aim for 1.2
Ich bin dabei 🙋🏼♂️
Ich auch. Schon 10 Monaten.
Do they still need to get the minimum in at least 7 countries? Anyone happen to know? Ive only been loosely following and i don't want to stress the website more than it is suffering lol.
No, that requirement has already been met. The final requirement (which has just been met now) is to reach a total of 1 million signatures. Basically, all requirements are now satisfied
I'm glad. But don't get your hopes up because of this. Commission could (and probably will) just say "we have considered it and we are going to do nothing".
At least we will have an official position, instead of the legal void we're currently in.
We've done nothing and already completely ran out of ideas!
That's great and all, but this needs to stop being spammed everywhere. Theres two of these posts in games alone.
Crosspost, people. That's what is there for.
It's good to see. The UK one is still ticking upward too (133.5k/100k). It's been an impressive last minute push.
Now, we wait and see I guess. I expect nothing useful to come from the UK one, but at least we force them to respond again. Even if it is the same response.
The EU one, I really do hope something comes of it.
About my lowest threshold for success is that this at least makes disclosures about what you're buying more prominent and restricts the ability for software licenses to just alter the deal and pray that they don't alter them further. Even better disclosures would make the raw deal you're getting become more poisonous before the point of sale. Especially as an American, I'm going to have wait a few years after any legislation goes through before I can trust online multiplayer games again.
If you're in the EU, you should still sign; extra signatures will be useful if it turns out some of them are invalid.
Yeah I signet 10 months ago. Also put the link in the post
