Exactly. And once people sign a petition and see it actually get implemented increases the chance that they’ll get involved next time.

This petition is great because it’s:

• actionable - it’s easy to see what the expectation out of a suggested policy is
• non-specific - there are a bunch of laws around this, and having a specific petition that happens to be illegal is a great way to get it killed
• broadly relevant - almost everyone who plays games cares, and gamers tend to complain more than act, so this is a baby step to get those people invested in action; even people who don’t care about games could care, such as right to repair people, since this lays a framework to get similar policies enacted

Something like homeless doesn’t have as clear of direction on solutions. Likewise ads, since that runs afoul of how tons of businesses make money, but this could be leveraged to reduce/eliminate ads in games that you pay for.

If this petition actually goes somewhere, I sincerely believe we’ll see more petitions from people who otherwise wouldn’t speak out. Ross was one of those people, and if he sees success, he’ll inspire a bunch of other people like him to act. I think it’s fantastic.
