A European Commission petition aimed at stopping online games from becoming unplayable has hit a milestone of over 1 million signatures. However, concerns have been raised about the authenticity of some of these signatures due to potential “spoofing” by individuals attempting to artificially inflate numbers. The campaign’s creator, Ross Scott, is now seeking more genuine signatures as he estimates that only around 600,000-700,000 are legitimate. Despite the uncertainty, the petition remains a significant effort to address consumer concerns over games becoming unplayable due to server shutdowns, and its success could potentially lead to changes in EU consumer law.
