I know these rarely have any sway with our governments and there is more important things in the world atm, but it’s getting close to the end now and it’s worth a reminder.
That’s why you see this post. As a last ditch effort to get the petitions over their threshold.
The organizers threw up their hands man lol and we aren’t going to see half a million signatures before the deadline.
It sucks but if we want to see game preservation succeed we need a new path.
Wouldn’t be the first petition to gain massive momentum before the finish line.
Man I love the optimism but it’s hours away and the organizers are doing interviews saying they’re done. It’s back to the drawing board.
Man I hate the pessimism. It’s a month away and one organizer is saying he’s done if this fails.
I thought i read it was less than 24hrs from the deadline. In that case sure spread away. Not feeling great about it but hey still a chance then. My bad
Edit: we’re both wrong. EU deadline is July 3rd, which is the main one. UK one is doing even worse, that has less than 3 weeks.
You switched the dates. EU deadline is july 31st, and got a massive influx of signatures over the last two days.

I’m only showing this because that’s what I was going off of. The petitions themselves have different dates. You are likely correct, but just felt it behooved me to at least show where I got those dates from
That is an unfortunate typo (3 vs 31). For reference, the official page of the EU initiative lists 31st july, the UK petition page lists 14th july.
