Never have I felt so annoyed that my country isn’t part of EU. Wish I could give a vote.

I just hope he learned from the first time and gets some people involved that can make a loud splash about this. If they just repeat what they did, it'll die in the crib.

Oh that has already happened. Second generation blizzard nepobaby PirateSoftware, misunderstood the goals of the initiative, started spouting personal hate towards Ross and made a video out of his stream for his large following months ago. People aren’t exactly a fan of the guy because of another controversy. He generally never likes admitting he’s wrong and apologizing for it. Always doubles, triples, quadruples down.

So that video he made got added to the list, big name drama/gaming news channels picked it up and got the ball rolling.

Kinda worried that nothing comes out of this because Ross did mention that he is aware of some amount of botting and, people making mistakes and also fake ones. Which is why reaching that 1.4 mill goal is important. The initiative has technically reached the goal but not 100% of the signatures are legit.

We are approaching the 1.4 million signatures but it has been very slow recently. I am a bit anxious that the total number of valid signatures is going to fall short of one million :S
