Is there some way you could merge all the petitions into one uber petition? You would have to cross check and eliminate multiple entries by the same person(email address) as many people (including me) have signed each petition. But it should be doable.

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....

 

 

I'm not sure we should do that. I think we should try to keep the integrity of the petition as high as possible. You don't want lucasarts to look at 10,000 signatures and think it's really just 10 people with a lot of time on their hands.

I find the amount of press the cancellation is getting. Today, I saw a small article in The second largest newspaper we have here in norway about the game.

They also make a small mention of Full Throttle 2 beeing dropped.

(yeah it´s in norwegian)

With all this "free" publicity, they should almost finish the game and take advantage of it ;-)

That is fair enough. If you want to bad mouth LucasArts, do it here. If you want to talk about technical support, do it there.

 

Can't some start a thread there saying something like:

"My PC hasn't been functioning correctly since it found out Sam & Max 2 was cancelled. Can you do anything to help this?"

"Excuse me, I accidentally bought a copy of Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. I meant to purchase Sam and Max: Freelance Police. Can I make an exchange directly to LucasArts? My local software store doesn't carry Sam and Max 2."

 

EDIT: Heh, just sent the first "tech support question" (My PC hasn't been functioning correctly since it found out Sam & Max 2 was cancelled. Can you do anything to help this?) to the LEC support forums. They require approval by a moderator, though. Was this happening before the previous SNM2 post? I wonder if they set up approval because they didn't want the forums swamped by angry SNM fans...

This is the official statement on the Technical Support forum regarding a certain game we were looking forward to. It may have been posted elsewhere, but as we're discussing it I thought I'd post it.

 

"Sam & Max: Freelance police

Thank you. "

 

Also, check out the thread simply entitled 'Sam & Max'. Was that your doing, LucasTones?

;)

I don't see where this awful defeatist attitude about "well complaining won't do a damned thing" comes from?!?!

 

Anyone remember a certain Star Wars game that was cancelled and then uncancelled after many public complaints?

 

Letting LucasArts know WILL make a difference! We CAN get Sam N Max 2 released!

 

(In fact a rather sceptical side of me thinks this is all a publicity stunt anyway.)

 

DON'T BE FOOLS, SPREAD THE MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE - YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

 

Only one thing is sure: Not spreading the word will decrease the chances of the game being reinstated. Think about it.

This is bugging me now - remind me what Star Wars game you're referring to? It's at the back of my mind and I just can't remember it.

 

On the other hand - remember the petition to bring Obi-Wan back to the PC? Was that a) successful or b) worth bringing back in the first place?

NOTE: I'm sure this is not the case with Sam & Max, however. It was my No.5 most wanted game (went up and down a couple of times) for a reason.

(While that not may sound that high, consider the games above it included Half-Life 2, Doom 3 and Halo 2, and that I also take release date into account so the astounding Far Cry was no.4 - so not bad for an old-school adventure that didn't have an official screenshot to its name)

I sent a carfully worded email to the pr guys (0% profanity thank you very much) a few days ago. Now just asking, but any of those people who actually did send them emails, did anyone get a response? I mean I know they're probably being flogged with them and won't read all of them (once you get one with 'You ****ers! bring back Sam and Max now before I rip your ****ing head off and **** down your neck!' in the subject title, you really don't need to read the rest) but I'm just wondering, if anyone's got a response.

 

Oh, and all feel free to use my sig. It won't do a thing, but hey... it's cool.:cool:

 

That smiley isn't.

I didn't really mind FT2 being cancelled(never really cared much for Full Throttle) I certainly mind Sam & Max being cancelled a LOT. I really loved the original(Especially when Sam & Max get beat up by Lee-Harvey). I really wanted to see Sam & Max:Freelance Police even though I don't have a powerful enough computer for it.

 

 

My petiton sig is better then Joshi's

I'm pretty sure Obi-Wan was put "on hold" or something to "evaluate" or some crap like that. Obi-Wan wasn't uncancelled entirely because of fan whining - apparently the game was going to pieces, and most of the team and a large part of the game design changed when it switched to XBox.

 

Also, based on how Obi-Wan turned out in the end, its probably the worst example to use for anything like this, really :)
