Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Those national thresholds have been thresholds have been reached. Now it's all about getting to 1 million signatures total.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

You don't get it.

What happens if you try to just brute force guess at a bunch of possible credit card numbers and addresses and names in some kind of online store?

After maybe a couple of tries, 30 seconds or less of that... the system is rejecting your bullshit fake numbers everytime, and after enough, it auto ip bans you, sends an email to the security admin team, and your journey to getting a chat from INTERPOL or the FBI or what not has now officially begun.

This system doesn't just accept any old random bullshit you give it.

It is not a random slapdash online poll.

Its only going to count up on that total signatures count if the system actually verifies the info you put in as being consistent with an actual, real, specific person in the system.

I again repeat: You are an idiot.

And I use idiot specifically: you are not only drastically misinformed, but determined, and seem to think very dangerous actions... are not dangerous... you think very unfeasible methods... are feasible.
