As the title suggests, over the last couple of days there's been an influx of doomer comments over the SKG petition. While it's fine to disagree, I'm finding it suspicious that there weren't comments like this posted a week or 2 ago

Does anyone else find it suspicious there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?

Nobody here disagrees with any point of the petition. I signed it. Even if gaming companies were rushing to send shills to raid discussions they would have done it months ago and last places they would go astroturff for is this Kazakhstani anti-whaling forum. Especially when their target now is the Eu bureaucracy and MEPs. Where I might say they have not a bad chance of succeeding.

    I believe it is hosted in Germany. Not sure though.

    Domain and IP resolve to California, but it's a cloudflare IP, so who knows where it actually is.

    I think it is hosted in Europe. Nordic maybe?

  • I'm pretty sure it's in the US. I'm in Utah (pretty far western US) and ping times are like 10-15ms, which is consistent w/ a west coast server. I have a VPS in Germany, and pings are more like 100-150ms.

    I'm not exactly sure how pings work w/ cloudflare, so maybe it's hosted somewhere else, but I would imagine they'd get a cloudflare host near their VPS to minimize latency.
