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
I think it’s also important to point out that the UK government has responded saying they are not amending anything so the number is irrelevant at least for that one.
That is false, PC Gamer screwed up. Here are both pages of the initiative itself:

Yes, I may have jumped the gun, I apologize. What this initiative is trying to do is important to me and between Pirate Software lying his face off and one of the most prolific gaming publications not getting their facts straight… The amount of misinformation being spread around this topic just hurts my soul.
I certainly share your frustration on those two fronts.
