Yes, I'm posting again...

I'm adressing a growing issue in the gaming community at large. Useless petition signing.

I'm not talking about petitions like "release this game here too", that totally makes sense. I'd love to play some games that are only going to be released in Japan or especially games that are released everywhere but Europe. I get why companies do it, I think it sucks, but it's life. I support those petitions.

The petitions I don't support are the "keep this game exclusive" petitions. Why? It's dumb. You want to keep it exclusive to sell more consoles, I get it. But you expect Capcom to halve their profit to help out Sony? There are twice as many 360s out there as PS3s, keeping a game exclusive to the PS3 isn't profitable at all. It's not Capcom's fault that Sony can't move as many units as Microsoft, it's not Square-Enix's fault either. It's Sony's fault and you fanboys sure isn't making Sony's cause any easier by not buying the game on the PS3 to demonstrate your distaste for the publisher. If anything, you should buy more copies to show that it's profitable to make exclusive games for the system, but that's not really right either, to bail out the company like that. Believe me, I'd be just as upset, and have been even more upset with MS fanboys and Nintendo fanboys.

Then there's the other type of petitions. I don't know what your problems are with Diablo 3, but have Blizzard made a bad game in the past decade? You think it's too colorful? It's 8 years since diablo 2, the graphics need improvement. Everywhere I got I keep finding petitions to alter some aspect of a game. Why? Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't mean the rest of us agree with you. People form different opinions and there's a good chance you'll come across a person or two who share the same views, that doesn't mean everyone do. I doubt we'll have to worry much that they'll ruin Diablo with 3(for the record, I loved diablo 2. I have(or had) a level 82 Barbarian to back it up). I'm convinced it will be darker than Warcraft, but the petition is an annoyance Blizzard don't have time to deal with.

I just seems everywhere I go I find a petition to "keep Final Fantasy XIII exclusive", or "petition for XP support for Halo 2"... actually, the last one isn't that bad. The point is, it's not gonna happen, why waste their time?
