MODERATORS
This is going very well it seems! I see the next few countries close to passing the threshold are:
Assuming we get those, we would need one more country. The highest remaining country is Ireland (55%). Getting all those still wouldn't reach 1M signatures, but the rest could keep being distributed across the EU (even including countries which have already passed the threshold, I'm assuming).
This is all very exciting and gives me a lot of hope! Keep signing folks!
You assume correctly
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.
