    Stop Killing Games should be asking for donations to get the people involved to have meetings with representatives in the EU commission. The big, shitty gaming companies that are firing devs en masse and just out to make money have their lobbyists. If the SKG movement doesn’t organise, that’s all we’ll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.

      Didn’t Ross mention that taking donations could jeopardize the movement, since the EU has strict rules?

        I’m curious about that. Democracy Internation has a course on how to fundraise for an ECI

        Together with experts, we will discuss your most pressing questions around fundraising for a European citizens’ initiative:

        What are the sources of funding for an ECI? How to appraoch large-donors and how to frame your campaign? How, and in what circumstances, do you have to report funding received for an initiative?

      Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I was under the impression that Ross had people prepared to meet with the representatives and present the initiative in case it does go through in the EU. Because it’s not like he could do it himself considering he’s not an EU citizen.
