Viz79 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Taken from one of the short Star Wars Sam & Max comic strips: *Sam & Max run into some Imperial troopers* Sam: Uhoh I think they're onto us Max: Somebody must have noticed the mile long trail of smouldering stormtrooper refuse in our wake Sam: Maybe we should have tidied up after ourselves Sam (pointing to a refuge duct): Max duck in here! Max: I don't see any duck Sam: It smells like some kind of high tech waste material compactor - they'll never think were so incredibly stupid to hide in here Max: That's right nobody's that stupid. --- Sam & Max 1, Star Wars 0, LucasArts *RIP* Clap clap, well done for cancelling one of the most loved video games series ever. The above dialogue says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinkie Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Keep up the letter campaign, I'm still disillutioned enough to belive that perhaps if we send them enough mail within these next couple of days they'll say "Gee how about we don't throw these last two years worth of money and work down the drain, and try to make a profit." Also everyone head on over to Gamespot . They have a poll about whether or not your sad that the game has been cancelled, it's down the left side, you don't have to join or sign up or anything, just vote for our favorite duo. Let the voices be heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTtheMighty Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Everyone "sign" the petition, i don't know if it will do any good or not but it'll help LucasArts geet some idea of a fan base, which may or may not help the situation. And while u are there read the post Tim Schafer put up and heed his words, atleast the part about psychonaughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMole Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 what? no savesamandmax.com yet? I dont have the resources to put up such a page, but I support any who do. also - any spiffy save sam and max fliers out there yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushguy Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I am mad and I have been mad for 4 1/2 straight hours (since I found out). I refuse to buy any more of Lucasarts' stinkin' Star Wars tie-ins, because from here on out, that's all they're going to make. A bunch of pointless junk nobody except insane mindless gamers will buy. There are not enough emoticons to describe how mad I am. :samandmaxcancel This emoticon will be a red face with eyes bulging out and drool coming out of it's open mouth with several teeth missing. This is sad. This is definitely the end of the Lucas Adventure Era until those "sales managers" running the marketing machine wake up and smell the coffee. The chances of another adventure game from them is less than zero. Even if they announce a Monkey Island 5 or Grim 2, they're going to destroy us again two months before release and pull the plug AGAIN. It wouldn't shock me if the people running Lucasarts right now are a bunch of retards with one computer locked up in a tiny padded cell. By the way, check out my cartoon I drew describing what's going on... I'm going to send this cartoon to Steve Purcell while I'm at it. I'm still in shock about how much can happen in two days...

Also dont know if its him or not but Tim Schafer has signed it and said Let it go. Sam and Max 2 was going to be ass. Go find another game to be fanboys of, like Psychonauts! Although i love his games this is a realy stupid thing to say and if you want to look at his reply his nuber is 1081 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toenail1 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 everybody, make sure you read my last post. DO NOT BUY ANYMORE OF THEIR GAMES!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY OF THEIR GAMES!!! DO NOT LOOK AT THEIR GAMES!!! TELL EVERYONE THEIR GAMES SUCK!!! HIDE THEIR GAMES BEHIND OTHERS ON THE RACKS AT THE STORE!!! DO ANYTHING TO SHOW THEM WE WONT PUT UP WITH THIS S*&T!!! SIGN ANY PETITON OR DO ANY VOTE YOU SEE!!! stand togther, be strong, show them we're out there, and that there's a lot of us. i believe we still have a miniscule chance of getting OUR game back. if we don't ill do everything to bring them down with me. PS: if you send an email, make sure it uses proper grammar and spelling, it'll be more effective than a letter that looks like a monkey wrote it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 People are already slowly beginning to let this go. I can't. And since LucasArts likely won't bring this game back, I'll be disappointed forever. I love life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McGoiter Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 This sucks. Reading all the old interviews really makes me sad, I mean they were almost near completion of the game. I really hope they bring it back, we gotta change their minds! We can sign more than once on that petition, just use a different name and everything, it can work!

Jester Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 It's been suggested that all letters and thoughts be sent to pr@lucasarts.com I think this would be much more effective and appropriate than a petition form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushguy Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I though it over. I decided not to send my drawing to Steve Purcell. Sorry if anyone was insulted by it. But I did it when I was at the peak of anger, okay?!?!? But I did sign the petition (at this point 2082 signatures) and sent an e-mail to Lucasarts. Nine hours now, still hopping mad. I, also, am going to boycott Lucasarts, because all that's going to come out of their stinkin' corporate mouths is Star Wars this. Star Wars that. I do believe if you pester somebody long enough they'll succumb to doing whatever it is. After all, samandmax.net came back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagamorph321 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hey all, After reading all these posts, I have to agree that this is a total bummer. I've written an email today (and yesterday) to express my disappointment - pr@lucasarts.com. Hopefully, something will be done, but I'm not optimistic. I guess boycotting Lucasarts games is a losing cause, but what the heck. It's been all downhill for a while there anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroeser Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Well I've done my bit by signing the petition and e-mailing the PR guys. Not sure how much good it will do but at least LucasArts will know that there are still people out there who care about adventure games. Oh and I think Tim Shafer's comment (if it was him) was a joke. He is always looking for ways to promote Psychonauts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyntheticGerbil Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hey I think we need to start many more new petitions. I think we should sign about eight times under nineteen different screennames on each one and make sure to add smilies that concern our current feelings. Electronic feelings don't convey well, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imran Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Not only should we be dedicated, but organized as well. It's very important that we band together under the same flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 At the moment I just feel used. Sure, there are a load more Star Wars fans than Sam and Max, and Monkey Island fans, but where would LucasArts be without us? For a decade their output was 95% original and 5% Star Wars, and they couldn't have done that if we weren't buying the games. Now they've come to the point where they don't need us, and look whats happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
