seanr Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I'm thinking that time is a major issue here, and we don't have the time to get 50,000 signatures. Yeah your probably right. We'd need to get that high in the next few days or so (by my guess ). Even with the campaign of getting the petition linked to a lot of the major gaming sites, we may not get that much traffic in such little time. And even if we did get that many signatures it's still not a guarantee that lucasarts would even care. It's still worth a shot though. I can't remember any public outcry as big as this over a game being cancelled, so hopefully that will count for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandmaxfiend Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 i think we need to get to 10, 000 signatures as soon as possible..and then notify lucasarts of the site..i mean theres still a lot of sam & max fans who wouldnt even know its been cancelled yet..its only been a couple of days... i think of the 2, 000 emails lucasarts have got 95% would be real passionate letters not just sum rubbish..hopefully it wakes lucasarts up to the fact that people actually care about this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if we did get that many signatures it's still not a guarantee that lucasarts would even care. Well, here's how I see it. We can either settle with what we've got, or expand. It can't hurt to get the links out there, to try and get gaming sites on our side. The more we spread the word of the petition and email campaign, the better our chances of being noticed and listened to. Our underground revolution has started; now we have to send out the carrier pigeons. I'm not willing to sit by and let this game cease. It wouldn't be so bad if LEC hadn't already finished the bulk of the game. This is simply unjust and should NOT go without a fight. I'm all for doing everything possible in our power to get the decision reversed, and I'm willing to do anything it takes to get Freelance Police onto the shelves.

James Isaac Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Oh darn. Why are there 2 petitions now???? A new one has 3800 signatures, and the old one has 5400. What's the point??? You can see the other one here. It is now more active than the old one. That's really pointless, all the signatures should go into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anonymous Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Agreed. We only need one petition. The same people that sign one will sign the other one, so why have two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray the Chao Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 What are the sites that you are promoting this petition on? You see, I want to help promote a petition from another site(which I have put in my sig with a slight LucasArts feel) Vive La Petition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellbeard Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Is it cheating to sign the petition more than once with multiple different e-mail adresses? Because if it isn't, we can all just get a whole crap load of cheesy hotmail accounts and sign away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 LucasArts does not know its arse from its elbow, presently. If I were a shareholder I would be selling my stock. LA looked bad when they announced that they were no longer making "classic" Star Wars games and tried to thrust a thousand "Phantom Menace" games down our throat. Luckily they saw the light and things looked up... until now. The market place has not changed ONE IOTA since they greenlit Sam N Max 2, yet here they are, months later, thousands of dollars later, changing their mind on a whim. Clearly something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the management at LucasArts. I wouldn't mind, but this is the SECOND time they have changed their mind after spending thousands of dollars producing a game, and cancelled something. Does LucasArts realize how incompetent this makes them look?? They haven't the bloody clue what they're doing! The only decent games they've produced recently were designed by out-of-house groups, nothing decent has come out of LucasArts' In-House for quite some time. In short: They absolutely suck and whatever goes for management in their organisation couldn't inspire Shakespeare to write a haiku... Completely and utterly USELESS.

guybrush guy Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 maybe this outrage is what they really need. hopefully they will realize the mistake they maid and play a nice game of doge ball with them selvs. the good people on one side and the bad on the other...with any luck the bad side will loose and burn in hell as punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just JustAdventure, but I dunno how smart it is to have several petitions. One is all we need. It'll look a lot less impressive to have 10,000 sigs from four petitions instead of 10,000 from one.

psbales Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 (Umm, I already posted this on samandmax.net. I really don't know how many people read both forums, so I wanted to make sure that this has max exposure. If I'm being naughty, mods, please delete and no hard feelings!) Hey all, Loooong time lurker, just registered today. I honestly don't think that it'll help any, but there's a LucasArts support forum over here: http://forums.lucasarts.com/forum.j...umID=13&start=0 ...where there is a small but growing thread about S&M2. The thread will most likely be deleted come Monday morning, but official LucasArts folks are bound to at least read some of it, or at a minimum, notice the activity on the board (the entire forum is close to dead). I'm still hoping beyond hope that with enough begging, whining, and most importantly, people promising to never purchase another LucasArts product again that they will take notice. *sigh* I really feel like that a close friend died...

I love what Wibble Wobble Hat Stand have done! http://wwhs.fangames.co.uk/ MixNMojo should follow suit if they feel the same way (I know I do!) ~ John PS - I don't think we should link the third petition (the one with only 500+ votes), only the good one (with 6000+!). It should get the least amount of publicity as possible so people sign the right one! Also Petition 3 in your list is a German petition, which is cool, but people should be made aware of it IMHO.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Argh! According to Gamespot: Sad news came today for fans of the 1993 PC game Sam & Max Hit the Road. LucasArts has canceled its PC sequel, Sam & Max Freelance Police, only a few months before its planned spring 2004 release. "After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC" said Mike Nelson, acting general manager and VP of finance and operations at LucasArts, in a brief release. The release also revealed that LucasArts will not let any staff go as a result of the cancellation of the game, which was being internally developed. Despite significant interest, Sam & Max Freelance Police had been shrouded in mystery since it was originally announced in August of 2002. All that was known was that it would be 3D and that it would continue its titular dog and rabbit heroes' adventures. At the time, LucasArts seemed enthusiastic about the project. "Sam & Max Hit the Road is a classic and [is] as close to being a signature game as any LucasArts has ever done," said the company's then-president Simon Jeffery.
