I'm not going to post an update every time a (small) milestone is reached, but i felt this time it was warranted.
Sweden and Poland both passed their respective thresholds. That brings us to 3 out of 7 countries where we need to pass the threshold. We are also past 25% of the one million signatures needed continent-wide.
Thank you to everyone who already signed.

At this point I'd that say getting enough individual countries is almost inevitable in the process of getting 1M signatures. If the distribution between countries remains as it is, every country with more than 25% right now would reach the threshold by the end.
Seems to me like the individual country threshold is only added to prevent initiatives getting single-handedly pushed by a single big country and never be the blocker for regular initiatives.
So yeah, the best strategy would most likely be to keep pushing the big countries: Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Speaking of Italy, what's up with them? Only 18%? Those are rookie numbers.
Could be due to Italy's very old demographics. Fewer people who care about videogames.
That's one thing I checked first, but compared to Germany for example, the average age and percentage of people playing video-games is apparently just a few percentage points of difference. Though "people playing video-games" could of course mean anything and I'd wager that the average person playing casual games on their phone might not care as much.
