Seem to be running out of time to sign this one.

basically this is a petition to legislate to force game
publishers to leave end of support games in a /functional/
state afterwards.      This movement was caused by the
recent fiasco with "the crew" game, and a few very expensive
games that were simply just randomly deleted from the
epic/ea/steam/microsoft cloud platforms by the publisher.

Petition has 17 days left as of writing.

Also a lobby website has been made here if you would rather
read than watch a video:

Bill Gates: 640k is more than enough for anybody
PC guy down the road: You will never fill that 10mb Hard disk mate
Abbott/Turnbull: 25Mbps is "more than enough" for the average Australian household.
Turnbull: Actually 10MBs is enough for the average household really.
Abbott/Turnbull: It is cheaper to put in FTTN, you get up to 24mbs/down and 256k up.. we can upgrade it more later...

Also,
it appears the website in question is a bit rigged too, i
just tried to sign it using my hotmail email; it refuses to
accept signing until you hit a confirm link in an email, and
it never sent my hotmail email a message.

Bastards.

An update on this, after a lot of complaints the website
fixed the confirmation email.
It is now sending out confirmations, even to webmail providers.
If you want games to sign it should work now.
