[EU] Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.

You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.

Is it making those requests per user, or making them once and then sharing the results with all users?

@QuadratureSurfer best I can tell, per every instance of the page open. So roughly per user.

The requests are made straight from viewers' browsers to ECI.

Oof, that's not good. Thanks for the heads-up!

Definitely a better idea to join a watch party then and watch someone else stream it live.

Yikes, that doesn't scale well!
