Can you link to that other UK petition too pls? :)
I suspect they would’ve brushed it off regardless, they didn’t want to deal with it. There’s another 100k UK petition that would force them to re-look at it with more depth which is also ending quite soon.

Ah sorry I misunderstood your comment then, I thought there was another one besides that.

No worries, I’ll edit it to try to make it more clear.

Yes I’ve already signed it, and I signed the original. Although even back then I suspected that the petition was simultaneously too vague and too specific.
It was vague in that it didn’t really explain what it was asking to happen, and didn’t really make the distinction between a product being technically still functional and a product not working because the servers have shut down. While at the same time being too specifically focused on games rather than server run software in general. What happens if Adobe goes down, does everyone lose access to photoshop?
I just feel that this has a better chance of succeeding if they were to de-emphasize the games aspect, and allow politicians the wiggle run to focus on the corporate business side of things.
