No it wasn't. The original plan was to get the citizens initiative to a point where the EU commission has to do something. DFA was more of a backup plan in case the initiative itself fails. Had the commission done its job the initiative probably wouldn't have shifted its focus to the DFA. And it's very much a series of lucky coincidences that the initiative could continue with DFA.

No it was not, as laid out by SKG's own goals from their website (which is now restricted - including past legislative attempts) and by Article 225 whereby they are asking an EU commission to submit a legislative proposal to the EU Parliament for enacting new laws.

This is literally the backup plan they are on now. Stop framing a loss as some sort of planned win. That's not what it is. And regarding Past Results (https://www.stopkillinggames.com/en/past-results), this isn't the first time they've been here. The EU has ruled multiple times that it is on the member nations to enact/amend these laws, this has all happened before with the same result.
