Initial blanket response
Comment has been collapsed.
but then again it's expected for several reasons.
1) This group is made up industry members from big AAA publishers for the most part
2) There is no incentive for them to do more than they have to
3) The deadline isn't quite upon us yet (and the petition could very well have not enough UNIQUE and VALID signers)
4) Quite frankly, it's not on them to act, but rather the EU parliament
But the fact that they responded meant that it's not being ENTIRELY ignored.

Hey there!
Caesar239 already made a thread, but he offered to basically let me make my own thread so I can answer any questions you might have more conveniently.
I'm one of the official organizers for the EU Petition for Stop Killing Games.
A link to Ross Scott, the head of the movement, explaining in a video some of the most basic questions and reasons why this petition isn't just slacktivism or why this isn't just a lost cause. Also, here's our official FAQ that answers most of the questions people have, but to make it easier:
For the most common questions I saw from the original thread:
No, we're not asking for games to endlessly keep their servers up. In fact, we demand nothing of how long a publisher has to support their game.
Yes, EU can do this solely because every right you can think of as a digital consumer has either been ratified by the EU once another government has introduced it or they've fully originated it.
Games that actually sell themselves as a service (like World of Warcraft), aren't in our crosshairs at all. We're talking of products that are sold without a known end date. Just like people don't demand a 1 month gym membership to be endless, we're not demanding a 1 month WoW sub to last forever.
Feel free to ask any questions that you might feel have been bugging you.
Proud to be an SG member that's trying their best to improve digital experiences for everyone. Hope you will be as well by signing here :)
